    First glance I thought it looked familiar and it did. The Heymix version sells for ~A$31.65 on Temu with 67W PD on USB-C1, 30W on USB-C2 and 15W across both USB ports.

        Reasons for the vote downs? Considering the reputation why on earth would anyone want a rebadged one?

        • Clear on 30/12/2024 - 14:06
          +1

          Probably because they're rebadging from multiple factories and not everything they have is fire. The Heymix version even has a reset button when the Anko version does not.

          This is a strange comment and probably should have some sort of source?

          Kmart sell hundreds of thousands of electrical items annually and everything still has to meet Australian standards..

          We’ve had a number of electrical appliances from them in use for years with zero issues.

          • Chmmr on 30/12/2024 - 19:49

            @jason andrade: Probably about 5 years ago now, I woke up to one of their USB chargers smoking next to my bed. Will never buy electrical stuff from them again.

            @Clear: $24.53 is available for new users. It just comes to $28.39 at checkout with tax, so I can only assume this is what @jimojr paid, but just wanted to confirm I wasn't missing something.

    Does this actually have a battery inside? Looks like it might be an error in description on the Kmart website.

      I think it's an error. The TEMU version Clear has linked above has mentions has no mention of a battery.

  • iDrownFish on 30/12/2024 - 11:40

    Pretty much all new phones need at least 20W on their own to charge at their fastest rate. So 24W shared means this isn't really a good option to charge multiple devices, or even a laptop. Correct?

    • hsc21 on 30/12/2024 - 11:42
      +8

      It'll charge, just very slowly. It won't charge any laptops as it's only 5v.

      • coxymla on 30/12/2024 - 11:48

        Some laptops can trickle-charge on 5V USB-C.

          Most won't. Besides, I doubt this thing even has PD.

      Sometimes you don't want to charge at their fastest rate though. Slow charging is better for the life of the battery, and phones such as moto g54 don't have an option to force slow charging, where as the Samsungs has.

      I charge at bedtime. So it doesn't matter if its charged in 10 minutes, because I need a good 10 hours :)

      • TedJ on 31/12/2024 - 00:33

        This.

        I used a Lenovo Smart Clock with a 500mA (2.5W) USB output to charge my phone overnight.

      • calcom21 on 31/12/2024 - 15:16

        My Motorola g54 has a message popped up saying my trend of charging then they charge slowly and say it will be fully charged by X hours of time.. is that embedded in the android software?

      Was to order until checking their power rating. No more under 15w USB chargers to avoid too many junks around the house. Spend a bit more on the future proof one.

      The stock limit for c&c is probably a bit higher than stock available at location.

      They don't want people placing c&c orders and not having the stock available, so they might set the limit at say, 5 in stock. But for people that just want to try their luck, it might be 3 in stock.

    Technical question: do these continue to consume power when nothing is plugged into the ports? I'm thinking there would be a small power drain with the transformer dropping the ports to 5v.
