Similar to Clear's deal from a couple of weeks ago, this Tronsmart 5 Port Charger features 1 USB Type-C port with USB Power Delivery and 4 regular USB ports with VoltIQ fast charging. It's a little cheaper due to the better exchange rate - my Coles Mastercard shows up as $22.54.

USB-PD uses USB Type-C and charges compatible devices significantly faster than standard charging (5V/3A, 9V/3A, 15V/2A). Supported devices include the Nintendo Switch, Apple Macbook, Google Pixel and Nexus 5X/6P. VoltIQ is suitable for non-QC/PD devices and can charge up to 5V/2.4A in each port simultaneously. This is suitable for many devices including iPhones, iPads and Raspberry Pi's etc. The charger uses a standard Figure 8 cable which you'll probably need to supply your own AU one.

Don't forget the 2.5% cashback via Cash Rewards

This deal ends roughly around 12PM QLD time according to the timer. Good Luck! Looks like the deal is still going on the US/UK option

Update: Pick the US Option

    Word of warning about this charger: I've had one for a few months. All of the USB ports work well, but the USB-PD port fried when I tried to charge a Xiaomi ZMI 20000 USB-PD power bank. Pretty annoying.

    • YellowKnight on 04/02/2018 - 07:43

      This is the first reported case I have ever heard

      • asa79 on 04/02/2018 - 10:51

        I had the older versions 3 of them and a few ports in each one dont work anymore

      First issue I've heard out of thousands sold. Have you contacted customer service? If not shoot me a PM with your order number.

      • S3ISOR on 04/02/2018 - 10:11

        Ok thanks, I'll PM you.

    • YellowEarthAustralia on 04/02/2018 - 11:41

      what are you charging with the ZMI 20000 now?
      im looking for a fast charger for mine

    • murkywater on 04/02/2018 - 13:57

      wow red flag. That must be due to a design flaw.

      • S3ISOR on 04/02/2018 - 14:24

        Yeah it annoyed me. My guess is the Xiaomi power bank tried to ‘charge’ the tronsmart charger instead of the other way around, because the direction of the power wasn’t right or wasn’t negotiated properly across the USB-PD spec. But I don’t really know.

    • GPAK on 11/02/2018 - 09:03

      maybe due to Xiaomi's bidirection quick charge feature ? I have no problems with Tronsmart charging my Cygnett ChargeUP Pro 20k PD power bank. I am also using the USB-C to USB-C Tronsmart branded cable included with my Tronsmart 60w charger.

    • bozbargain on 04/02/2018 - 09:26

      Any annoying high pitch noises coming from yours (as per the review posted by Jabba below)?

      • [Deactivated] on 04/02/2018 - 14:22
        +2

        There is some 'coil whine' on the one I got from the previous deal, however it's not that noticeable. I primarily use the PD port to charge my 6P, which needs 15W and the charger gets quite hot when compared to the stock charger for my phone, even when that's the only thing plugged in.

  • tommypickles on 04/02/2018 - 07:40

    So, obvious question, does it charge an iPhone X faster via USB-C to Lightning??

    • pangwen on 04/02/2018 - 15:10

      Yes it does, as long as you have a "proper" cable. Ideally, get the Apple USB-C to lightning cable. Some third-party USB-C to lightning cables don't support fast charging.

      Source: My experience - using a USB-C power meter to confirm that it was charging at 14.5V/1A rather than 5V.

  • Jabba the Hutt on 04/02/2018 - 07:46

    No proper reviews on this model. This guy, who IMO is sort of the Benson of USB charger reviews, rated a previous model as safe but didn't like the noise levels.

    • UponOccasion on 04/02/2018 - 09:44
      +3

      That's a non USB C model charger which is the important thing to test. USB C implementation across a range of trusted brands has proven fraught with Tronsmart having put out at least one that failed to pass independent testing.

  • kongkurr on 04/02/2018 - 09:05

    Is there such a device that has separate ports to charge both USB-C & QC3.0 devices? Or is my only option one of these, and its 12W micro-USB charging?

    • zappy on 04/02/2018 - 09:49

      I bought this from Kogan https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/351406 $39 with new sign up.
      I use it to charge my xiaomi zmi 20000mah powerbank and a dell xps 13". It does get quite warm when charging the power bank both the powerbank and the charger.
      It has 4 usb A quick charge ports. Seems to be well made (no noise when charging) so far. Hopefully it will stay that way, but I am a bit worried the heat may make it deteriorate in time.

      • kongkurr on 04/02/2018 - 10:03

        Perfect, thank you!

        Unless the charger becomes too hot to touch, the components inside shouldn't be adversely affected by the heat. I'm with you though, excessive heat does mean inefficiencies, and is a bit worrying as to quality.

  • robhung on 04/02/2018 - 09:31

    Took the risk and bit the bullet, will report back on how these units go. Expecting high noise and high temperatures, but at a low price - I really can't complain!

  • surm on 04/02/2018 - 10:18

    No Aus power plug?

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 04/02/2018 - 11:28

      Nope. Uses a figure 8 cable so of you have a spare.

  • nerd1 on 04/02/2018 - 10:48

    Is there a type c to micro usb cable?

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 04/02/2018 - 11:28

      No there isn't. Full sized USB port is more practical.

  • asa79 on 04/02/2018 - 10:49

    I have a couple of the normal USB versions, they are good, but after a while some of the ports start to play up and stop working

  • joshhayes on 04/02/2018 - 11:31

    i got one of these from a previous deal along with a tronsmart USB C to USB C cable but it doesnt charge my nintendo switch. it keeps lighting up the switch screen like it wants to charge but then immediately shuts off again and repeats so the screen ends up flashing on and off and not charging. the normal USB ports work fine though

    • nhutty on 04/02/2018 - 20:34

      Yup mine does the same. Doesn't charge Nintendo switch so be careful

    Was looking at the 54w version last night, and checking if there was any current deals with on ozbargain, nothing. On ebay they're $40+. Woke up to find this deal.

    Thanks.

    So its actually a 30w USB-C PD charger, it can also do another 30w of other ports at the same time.
    Not however a full speed charger for anything other than sub-ultrabooks such as 12" Macbook, Chromebook etc and not over 15V.
    Better suited to overnight charging on larger devices.

    what's this like for charging a Pixel 2? description mentions 'Pixel' but i'm not sure if they changed anything with how the PD works for the new Pixels. it seems confusing.

    i thought usb type-C was supposed to make everything simple, one cable for everything, and instead i've found out that my old Nexus 6P charger shouldn't be used for my Pixel 2, so who knows. :-(

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 04/02/2018 - 22:28

      USB-C certainly makes it easier, but the Nexus 6P has employed USB-C Fast charging (5V/3A) instead of USB-PD (5V/3A, 9V/3A, 15V/2A). Also looks like there is some kind of design flaw in the Nexus 6P charger, but I'm not familiar with it.

  • lxstr on 04/02/2018 - 19:42

    I got this charger from Tronsmart on Taobao, the first one was dead on arrival. The replacement unit is still going strong.

  • YellowKnight on 04/02/2018 - 21:07

    So with all the design flaws, would people say the Blitzwolf ones with only USB-A chargers be better?

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 04/02/2018 - 22:24
      +1

      Depends on what you require. Do you need USB-PD or QC3?

      • YellowKnight on 04/02/2018 - 22:25

        Probably not. I ordered, if I cancel now, before dispatch, can I get a refund?

          Yeah that's possible. Just email [email protected] with your order number.

          I'm going to see if I can get a code on this beast again :)

        • YellowKnight on 04/02/2018 - 22:30

          @Clear: You get that code, I'll get that beast. Thanks.

          Cancelled now. I'll email tomorrow.

        • Dobe on 05/02/2018 - 12:24

          @Clear:Agree, I will wait for a good price on the beast as most of our Samsung stuff uses QC.

  • monkp on 04/02/2018 - 22:19

    This or BlitzWolf BW-S7?

    • escusemay on 04/02/2018 - 22:22
      +2

      Depends if you need/want USB-PD. I personally have 4 of the Blitzwolf ones I bought a couple of years ago and they're all still going strong. Just needed 1 with USB-PD to charge a Macbook Pro.

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 04/02/2018 - 22:24
      +3

      It wouldn't be fair to compare a QC3 charger with a USB-PD charger. The Tronsmart U5PTA is a QC3 charger and charges faster than the BlitzWolf BW-S7 as it has higher wattage. Alternatively the Tronsmart Titan Plus is even better than both as it's 90W with 5 QC 3.0 ports.

      • monkp on 04/02/2018 - 22:36
        +1

        Thank you for the info. I think I'll look for QC3 charger for now as none of my gadgets utilise USB-PD. (LG V20, Sony Z3 tablet) Any coupon deal for Tronsmart U5PTA rep?

      • Sidor on 04/02/2018 - 23:30

  • tanksinatra on 05/02/2018 - 07:25

    I'm tempted but 30w USB-PD is just a bit weak for a laptop. I wish it was at least 45w USB-PD.

  • bozbargain on 05/02/2018 - 16:05

    Would anyone be able to recommend me a good charger that is dead silent (no coil whine) with at least 3 USB ports and preferably a figure-8 cable that’s able to ‘fast’ charge my 2016 iPhones and iPad when traveling? Would be nice if the charger is somewhat future proof as well. I noticed that my MacBook charges my iPhone quicker than the iPhone’s official charger - sorry, I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to what to look for in these things.

  • stuarty9 on 06/02/2018 - 07:00

    Has anyone used this with the newer 15" MacBook Pro touch bar models? I feel 30W max might be a little on the slower charge side.. Any experiences?
