FYI my A7CII draws about 17-18 watts while charging, per my Anker Prime 9.6K 65W charger's info display.
Interesting. I like the idea of this All-in-one Anker Prime 9.6K 65W product for travel kit since it provides both fast USBC charging and a Power-bank for mobile on the go charging. The display info showing watts pulled while the device is charging is useful too. And includes a USBC charging cable! Have you been able to use the Anker Prime's USBC power-bank to operate your camera ?

Hi LBJ2 - I bought it for the 2-in-1 use case as wall charger and power bank for travel. It just went to Japan. I haven't used it to power the camera, just to recharge it. It has worked well so far as both charger and power bank.
HOWEVER - I did notice that a couple of times I've had to unplug/plugin a device to resume charging after it lost connection with it. It has only happened a couple of times but would make me hesitant to rely on it for a "mission critical" application (like powering a camera for time lapse). No idea if it is a cable, charger or device issue or just a couple of one-off anomalous events.

Thank you for the "However" note. I'll check that out first thing as I am going to try the Anker Prime charger/PB to see if it can also power my A1. Currently I use traditional Power-bank bricks( not really small) for extended camera operations.

Restart the charge?

If your device is not drawing full power then there should be plenty of margin.
I travel with two of the 45W Anker 713 (smaller version of 715) and one 100W of another brand. I keep the 65W Anker at home. I generally don't like the multi-output chargers since they restart the charge when a second high-drain device is plugged in. It's better to have at least two chargers in case of issues.
I have not tested chargers much at 220V/50Hz. Theroetically they may be more efficient.

Do those chargers deliver full power (Providing that the reciving device is capable) if only one device is connected, or there will be a limit per port
For example if a charger is rated for 100w and it has 2 connections type C. And the device I am charging can take 100w . Does the charger delivers 100w to the device or it will limit the output say to 50w because the other 50w is allocated to the other port'
p.2 #6 · Anker 715 High Speed USBC Charger (Nano II 65W)
It depends on the manufacturer, but in general if the charger is rated for 100W - that’s going to be a total of 100W spread across all ports, NOT 100W max for each port. For example:
p.2 #7 · Anker 715 High Speed USBC Charger (Nano II 65W)
I got the Anker 747 for that reason, it provides 150w total with 4 ports. A single USB-C port will max out at 100w for a laptop so there's headroom for additional devices. Really nice not to have to carry multiple bricks now and most everything is USB-C.

The All-in-one Anker Prime 9.6K 65W arrived. Am currently charging up the PB as it arrived nearly empty so I can test later to see if I can operate my A1 camera with this PB for extended camera operations. So far seems this PB charges up pretty quickly w/ 120V outlet.
I also compared the Anker's Smart Display Watts pulled data with my "chip on a stick" USB/C igital Tester/Power Meter by Eversame ( Amazon.com). Good news is both seem to report device charging Wattage similarly.
I'll need a few days of usage to see if I notice any signs of "lost connection" issues you reported. I also searched the website to see if there might be a firmware update for this charger/powerbank...doesn't look like it.
