- Japan page spec: mobile battery, Nano Power Bank (22.5W Built-In USB-C Connector), pink, A1653N51 [1 port] | original product name Anker Japan mobile battery Nano Power Bank (22.5W Built-In USB-C Connector) pink A1653N51 [1 port]; Taiwan page spec: 5000mAh, up to 22.5W fast charging, USB-C foldable plug direct-plug design, 102g, black (the Japan listing is pink A1653N51; color code differs only)The Taiwan listing and the Japan listing are both the Anker A1653-series Nano Power Bank: the same 5000mAh capacity, the same 22.5W output, and the same USB-C built-in folding plug, plug-in design. In the Japan listing, model A1653N51's N51 suffix is a color code (pink); Taiwan momo's official authorized store currently only stocks the black version. The core spec (main model code A1653, capacity, wattage) matches exactly, so it is paired under the "same product, relaxed on color" rule. Root re-verification on 2026-09-15: re-read the price from the Taiwan retailer's product page or momo's product-search JSON, confirming it is a single-SKU amount rather than a multi-spec price range.
