I brought a UGREEN Nexode Pro 160W on my overseas trip and that really saved my butt being able to charge all my devices from one wall adapter.

[BlackhawkTDI]

I typically stick with either Ugreen, Spigen or Anker for my charging or cable needs. I have many multi-usb(c) charging hubs, the Anker 250w Prime is a monster, my favorite one yet

[Foxinthetree]

All right, where is the link for that USB power tester you were using in the video?

[CartiStan]

Collapsible prongs must be a standard honestly in 2024

Ive been struggling to get my pixel to charge above 16w through many powerbanks, chargers, cables and i finally found out why thanks to this video.

[crazed]

i have the 240w Anker charger. i love how i can specifically set a wattage for each port. i use mine to charge my 140w anker battery, battery for my drones, my macbook phones and i use the usba ports for my smart watch and earphones 😘.

i can easily reach 230watts when all of my devices are dead

more features that i like about it
- i can set it to slow charge my devices
- i can schedule it to turn on and off
- i can prioritize a port, something that you will nit find with any chargers

Although what google has done with the pixel 9 pro xl is not explicitly explained, going to a higher voltage means less heat is generated which also enables them to use that much less copper in their phones. The min reason behind this being the heat generated squares with the amount of amperage delivered

My go-to charger for my laptop and even my phone sometimes is the ASOMETECH 100 watt charger. It has a wattmeter on the charger. Uses gan and only $20. I love it

[Temmie_gaming]

My laptop is kinda annoying because it will only take 100watt chargers. It gives me a warning "may not charge while using" for anything that isn't 100watt. It's very annoying and makes finding a good powerbank and charger tricky. MacBook users have it good being able to charge at like 65watt

[aquaticaquatos]

What about Aukey Omnia II Mix 67W GaN charger?

[vvrchandra]

Do any of the chargers tested support OnePlus, Vivo, OPPO proprietary fast charging techniques like Super Dart, Super Vooc charging along with those that they currently support. Thanks.

You know what's a real shame with these? The title says 'travel' but none of these are great for travelling.

They're great for local travelling, yes. But if you travel to a destination with diffent outlets, you're down to only two options.
Only Ugreens Nexode 65W and Satechi has a 145W have versions with swapable plugs.

For example, If I travel to the UK, I end up bringing multiple USB-C Plugs with me. An EU Plug from Anker for a quick charge at the airport or on the train, and a handful of UK plugs for when I get to my destination for charging my actual stuff.

[blaster]

Easily the best charger for me I have ever bought was the 'oneadaptr, OneWorld 135w'. It's THE best travel adapter brick I have used meaning I can travel most of the world and leave behind my PC charger without worry and still have power to game no matter where in the world I go.
I hope Anker makes something similar one day having a 4 in 1 plugs type set with 135w+ power delivery device as I have heard some horror stories about one adaptr from other users. But its form factor I have yet to see beaten for what it packs for USB -C ports and power delivery.

[stangtennis]

Great test thank you. To be honest I don't think it is a problem finding a good charger, the real problem is finding a good cable from the charger to the device, that delivers the power it promise and lasts more than a year...

[MichaelWeeks-oxep]

People need to understand it's all about the negotiation between the device and the charging block and the cord mix a huge different not all cords are created equal

[hanve]

Need more video like. Please explain it in detail all of this i mean what hell is this. So confusing for sure

[ricoviii]

I am still using Anker 4 port 40 watts

[parthsb]

Google just sucks with the hardware decisions. Apple and Samsung have been releasing watches way before Pixel Watch 1, google knows there are 2 sizes of watch, still they take 3 generations to finally launch both sizes. With 8A, They changed the concept of "A" series phones and made them more expensive.

First off congrats on the video, charging is getting more and more important, more and more devices with larger batteries and huge complexity of charging protocols that lead to the fact that only in rare cases you can charge at the advertised max rate or even closer to it....i think a lot more proper testing and education needs to happen in the space...as it seems the charger manufacturers are bit biggest annoyance is that the charger companies do not cater to 'exotic' charging protocols...at max they cater to Apple and Samsung (ie your Google example)...but particularly with all the fast charging (mainly Chinese) phones, you need to go back to proprietary chargers to get max performance otherwise you are stuck at am surprised you just gleaned over the Anker 250 charger....if you want to have stationary charger it's the best...and i think it's the future, ie you have a proper home charging station for your needs and also to cater for family and visitors....I think your focus on efficiency is a bit narrow to assess the chargers....keep it coming, power banks and cables can easily fill another 15+ min videos
