Hi everyone,in the Ozbargain Comunity/Forums, so im looking at getting a new Australian Plug and ive been looking at brands like BLITZWOLF & ANKER
Im looking at these products unless some one can suggest a better product
BLITZWOLF
ANKER
im after a wall charger with usb ports on it actually like the genuine samsung australian plug just the ability to put in bag with cables on the go
Anker has a bit of a better reputation, started by some ex-google staff. That said, I never had any issues with my Blitzwolf stuff. I'm sure both have their stuff made in China.
With regards to these two specific products, it will come down to what you are planning to charge and if you care about any future-proofing. Are you planning to regularly charge lots of devices at the same time? Blitzwolf specs list the total output, the Anker doesn't (you might want to look this up if you care).
The Anker one has a type-C port, which is good if you want to charge via PD. Some phones, tablets and laptops use PD for fast charging. My Samsung phone seems to output less heat while charging over PD instead of using Qualcomm Quick Charge.
I've been using a similar product like this daily for quite a few years now. These are great.
Some other brands you can consider :
- Satechi (premium, but pricey)
- Tronsmart, Ravpower, Aukey
i think im gonna lean towards the ANKER with the PD Port Charging although my pc doesnt have usb c charge my switch does though on the other hand
Ihavok i found USB C PD Charger, RAVPower 60W 5-Port USB Desktop Charging Station with 45W Power RavPower-Link
@Darkside
Ah that's a good option I think. That's a fair price. These specs seem to exceed the Anker one you listed in the original post.
Also it looks like there's a further 10% off code for this product in your Amazon link.
Can all carge the nintendo switch i may just get the one anker with no usb c pd what type of device with a usb Cpd
@DarkSide: I believe the Nintendo switch will charge through any of the ports. But if you want fast-charging or the ability to charge the switch while you play, you will need to have charger with USB PD with sufficient output (I think about 45W PD output? best to double check this yourself).
If you want to use USB PD charging, you must have a compatible USB-C to USB-C cable.
Thanks TurnItOut
which one you think i should get
depends. do you want to charge laptops? if so probs the second one
I have the second one, use the USB C to charge my phone and the standard USB port for my watch. Good little charging box. USB PD is FAST.
Have had a few issues with the USB C port seeming to stop working, although power cycling the box has corrected this the few times it has happened.
Handy to take with you (not that we're doing much of that currently) as it uses a standard figure 8 lead which I had a few of. Disconnect the box from it's lead, pack it with a spare figure 8 lead (and your USB cables - I leave mine connected) and go.
If I were you I'd simply provide links to the two products and ask the question instead of this wall of specs.
Also you are looking for a USB charger not an Australian plug.
