I'm looking for a 3 port USB travel charger but need help with choosing the right one(if its even possible)

I want to charge 3 things at once

1) Phone with USB-C
2) xiaomi 20 000 power bank with micro-USB
3) 3x gopro batteries in a charger box with USB-C

What do I need to look out for in terms of charging speed and compatibility? I just tried using my samsung adapter to charge the xiaomi powerbank and thought the bank was broken but apparently I fried the adapter instead since it's not charging my phone any more either.

Thanks!

      Thanks mate, I think i'll go with the Anker one then. Thought there would be more to it in terms of power compatibility but I guess technology has advanced far enough that devices can manage it themselves.

    Xiaomi 20,000. Ideally you want something with QC2/3 as 20,000 takes a long time to charge through regular 5V/2A port.

    Phone with USB-C, work out if its USB PD or QC charging.

    And work out if you want something that plugs directly to wall. Or something with a cable that goes to the power socket.

    Anker is expensive. Xiaomi doesn't really have much variety for multi-port chargers. Look at Orico, Tronsmart, Blitzwolf. I have gotten a 4-port Orico 20W for $7 on a Joybuy special a while back.

    Pay attention to the wattage and how much power per port and as a whole.
