Fast charge two compatible devices at the same time with dual USB-C ports.

Access up to 65W when using a single USB-C port or 45W + 20W when using both.

Optimized for Apple, Samsung, Nintendo Switch and other compatible devices.

Previously $49 in at ITech but most needed to pay delivery so this is not bad considering widely available.

    This seems expensive still

        17$ Lencent from Ali express

          Lencent have professional reviews, tear downs, etc?

          Do they make their own chargers or are they rebrands?

            @Ryanek: In addition, some other things that may be of importance:

            • quality components are used
            • the product is well engineered
            • some assurance the product will handle unexpected scenarios
            • standby power use
            • decent output
            • longevity
            • track record of a brand

            User reviews are of limited use, especially in smaller quantities. So many of them are simply "I plugged it in and the device started charging."

            • Agret on 03/09/2023 - 22:04

              @ihfree: Plugged in and charging is quite good for a user review. Most of the AliExpress reviews I see for products are rating it 5 stars with the comment "haven't tried yet but looks good"

                It's OK not to know - you can either politely say it or simply not reply rather than accusing people of being unable to use Google.

                Different people want different things from chargers hence the question. Given the releases under different brands and the wide range of OEMS, it is useful to know more about what you are buying.

                          Personally, having seen even decently respectable chargers with problems, there's no way on earth I would use a generic $20 high power charger from Ali- that's the place I go to for cheap garbage that doesn't come with fire risk.

                          Sure, lots of people have okay experiences, but having some familiarity with how Chinese QC processes work (laughs sarcastically) I'm not going to place faith in Amazon or Ali reviews where "it charged my phone okay so it's great"

                    @h0dl: No, personally I am not comfortable buying these unknown devices. I am connecting thousands of dollars of devices to chargers - why would I skimp?

                    The brand is a complete unknown and reviews are done by users who don't know the product from a technical standpoint. If 150 people say that the product is OK, it may suggest it works but doesn't guarantee correct output, longevity, quality of components, design, etc. All of these things are answered to a degree by professional reviews and tear-downs. Reviews are also open to manipulation.

                    More prominent brands come under more scrutiny and are pulled apart and the power output is analysed. This rarely happens with smaller/unknown brands.

                    If you are happy with a random $17 charger, that is fine. You are an adult who can use Google and make your own decisions. Others might have different wants when it comes to chargers which is why I asked the question. Having the information in a comment makes it easier for other users to make a decision.

      Depends. You can prob get cheaper 65w from random Chinese brands that you run the risk of overheating and shutting down. Each to their own I guess

      • bargaino on 03/09/2023 - 20:12

        I got my $25 Erunto, works fine, no overheating.
        No more efficient than the old Dell charger, which costs a lot more, but way smaller.
        I have seen dodgy chargers from China, but many years ago.

        Years ago I bought a no-name USB charger. One day, there was a loud bang and a big spark, it was burning hot and smoking. It seemed fine right up until the day it blew up. I still buy random things, but if it plugs into mains power, I'll only get a reputable brand or at least one where someone has done a teardown and determined it's safe. It's just not worth taking chances with something as dangerous as mains electricity

        I have two Zyron 65W chargers. One is at home powering my soldering iron fine. The second one I brought with me on holiday now. It died halfway through. Fortunately I brought a backup Anker one as I didn't have full confidence in Zyron yet.

        A charger dying when you're at home isn't the biggest deal. It's a huge pain if it happens when you're away on holiday though.

          Exactly why I just pay up for a known brand. Nothing wrong with a Zyron for a soldering iron, but just seems the lesser known brands seem to still fall over when it counts. And we are talking $20 here and there so I just pay the extra dollary-doo’s

    Sorry, new to fast charging. Can I use any USB-C cable to get the max 65W or does it need to be a higher specified one?

    • ozfool on 04/09/2023 - 09:31

      The cable needs to be rated for it. You can plug any cable in but if it doesn't detect the right emark chip then it'll limit the power transfer to a lower value.

  • Dontreadthis on 04/09/2023 - 09:55

    I've got two of these and one I use with an 130w Dell XPS. It gets flogged and gets quite hot (as expected). Well built and hasn't missed a beat. I'm glad I spent the extra money and didn't buy a bargain unit off Amazon for this particular purpose.

    Really do not recommend this charger. It doesn't plug in strongly enough into sockets! Minor tugs seemingly pull it out. Very annoying!
    Try to get something with the extra grounding prong because this thing is too flimsy.

    Additionally, it runs HOT!

      That is absolutely true, I thought only my unit does that.

      I haven't experience this, but then I use it for MacBook Air and iPhone/iPad so probably not overusing it
