Anker Japan will roll out 14 products, including its first two power banks built around lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cells, at 7-Eleven stores across Japan starting July 11, 2026[1]. This is the first time Anker has added power banks to its 7-Eleven lineup, and the new models are designed with a focus on long battery life and thermal stability[1]. The move makes it easier to handle a sudden low battery with a quick stop at a convenience store.

Anker's First LiFePO4 Power Banks, Sold at 7-Eleven

The highlight of this lineup is the pair of power banks that use lithium iron phosphate cells for the first time from Anker[1]. Two versions with different capacities and sizes are available, and both go on early sale at 7-Eleven[1].

The "Anker Power Bank (5000mAh, 15W, LFP)" is a compact model suited to everyday carry, priced at 3,290.10 yen (tax included)[1]. The "Anker Power Bank (10000mAh, 30W, LFP)" pairs a 10000mAh capacity, enough to recharge a smartphone several times, with up to 30W output, priced at 4,390.10 yen (tax included)[1]. In addition to the lithium iron phosphate cells, both models include Anker's proprietary multi-layer protection system for added safety[1].

Why Lithium Iron Phosphate?

Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries use lithium iron phosphate as the cathode material and are known for resisting degradation across repeated charge cycles and for their thermal stability compared with typical lithium-ion batteries. Anker cites long battery life and high thermal stability as its reasons for adopting the technology, explaining that it aimed for a power bank that can be used with peace of mind over the long term[1].

Power banks are carried around constantly, which brings lingering concerns about heat and aging. Bringing LFP, valued for long life and thermal stability, into charging products expands the options for users who prioritize safety.

A Dozen More Products Beyond the Power Banks

The lineup also includes USB fast chargers, cables, and car chargers in addition to the two power banks[1].

Among the chargers, the "Anker 523 Charger (Nano 3, 47W)," which supports USB Power Delivery and can charge a laptop with up to 47W of combined output, is priced at 3,990.80 yen (tax included), while the "Anker 323 Charger (33W)," with one USB-C and one USB-A port, is 2,990.90 yen (tax included)[1]. The "Anker Charger (20W, 2-Port) with USB-C & USB-C cable," ready to use out of the box, is 1,690.70 yen (tax included)[1].

There are also car chargers for topping up devices in the car and various cables combining USB-C, USB-A, and Lightning, making it possible to cover a full set of charging needs at a convenience store when you are caught short away from home[1].

The Third Wave of 7-Eleven Availability

Anker Japan began selling Anker Group products at 7-Eleven stores nationwide in October 2020, and this marks the third such wave[1]. The company says customers have appreciated being able to pick up a charger or cable at a nearby 7-Eleven even after forgetting one on a business trip or vacation, and it has now expanded the range to include power banks[1].

Anker has also been certified as the world's No. 1 mobile charging brand for six consecutive years in a Euromonitor International survey (based on retail sales value from 2020 to 2025, conducted in April 2026)[1]. It is an effort to extend the track record built with chargers and cables into an easy purchasing experience at convenience stores.

Summary

Anker Japan will sell 14 products, including its first two power banks with lithium iron phosphate cells, at 7-Eleven stores across Japan in stages from July 11, 2026. The 5000mAh model is 3,290.10 yen (tax included) and the 10000mAh model is 4,390.10 yen (tax included), both boosting safety with LFP cells and a proprietary multi-layer protection system. With chargers, cables, and car chargers rounding out the range, it looks set to become a handy option for anyone who wants to deal with a sudden low battery at a convenience store.
