Nah, I don't need to charge that fast. I have a few 60W Anker charging blocks and they're great.

I realize this seems a bit like a different segment, but the 737 is fantastic. I have a few powerbanks (used to travel for work), but the 737 goes on sale pretty often for like $110 (it's currently $149.99 but with a $40 coupon on Amazon) and has 24,000mAh, 140W output, 2 full-speed Type-C and 1 Type-A port, and a helpful display that shows exactly how fast it's charging/discharging. I've only had this one for like 2 months, but it's been great.

It's hard to find a powerbank that charges as quickly as it discharges...but I've charged this thing at 120W (fastest charger I had) and I have no reason to believe it wouldn't charge at 140W if I had a charger for it. It's the only powerbank I've owned that can charge my MBP at full speed through the MagSafe (which is 100W, IIRC, on the 14" M1 Pro MacBook Pro).
