Just discovered your videos and I found them amazing! Desmitifying a lot of brands is great. I am using BaseUS power adapters since a while now and they have been offering a very good quality. Subscribed for sure and recommended it to my techie friends too!
Thanks! Yeah, in the process of going through these chargers I've learned quite a bit. I find it surprising how many devices still don't work with normal PD chargers even though the market is saturated. Baseus was one of the first brands I checked out and they surprised me with good performance, reasonable price, and moderate quality. None of mine have broken at least but I've gotten quite a few complaints about both incompatibility and failures. Technically, my laptop isn't compatible but I use a USB C to barrel adapter, works fine.
Been waiting for this to drop! Thanks for all you do.
You are welcome. I was worried this wouldn't make the Friday due date, ha.
I learn so much from this channel 💚 Glad you explain the electrical engineering so in-depth
Thanks for watching.
Nice! A much needed condensed review!
Great job!
Thanks for watching!
Just want to say thank you, I appreciate your videos.
Thanks!
Fantastic content, really fills a void. Thanks! I left some suggestions in the comments of your previous video.
Okay, if I didn't reply, I may not have seen them. If I did, they're on the list.
Fantastic comparison, I've been following your series for a while now and to be honest, you deserve way more recognition for the work you put into each video! The amount of scrutiny every adapter gets is mind boggling.
Currently "daily driving" the Ugreen Nexode 100w wall version, but I experience wierd power delivery fluctuations while charging my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro laptop with the supposed 100w. Device often switches rapidly between charging and not charging, that combined with the lack of PFC on all modes and too much THD as shown in your video, it's a no-go for me currently. Luckily got it for a reasonable price (€65 in the EU).
Do your Amazon affiliate purchases also work with EU sales? Christmas is near, so I'm looking for a replacement. The Baseus 100w wall version might be a solid option as you suggest, but how bad is the coil whine in real life? Or should I wait for your complete 140w charger breakdown to have a more future-proof option?
Keep up the good work!
Thanks! I try to cover a lot. It is impossible to cover everything. I really need to make better icons, ha. Anyway, that UGREEN wall adapter was quite disappointing and even more confusing that they have the exact same model in the the desktop version that does have power factor correction. Anyway, the affiliate links work some places and not others, no big deal either way, I appreciate the thought. I generally operate on the edge so what you all get in videos is what I know. I do have over 50 more to test in house no way I'll get through that much by then. On the 100W is quiet, in a extremely quiet room you might here a little. The 120W is very noticeable. At this point, I'd go for the Baseus.
Excellent video. Thank you as always.
Thanks, so much information...
Saw this video and immediately subbed. Thank you.
Thanks!
What a super video! Really appreciate the colour-coded comparative scores and that you explain that there is no 'best'. It depends.
Looks like I will be buying the Minix for my frequent international travel needs. Further watching and reading is in order however
From a viewer in Singapore (today anyway...)
Yeah, the MINIX does seem to get some positive marks for travel needs.
Great videos.Thank you for detail reviewing
I've looked for ugreen 30w Ugreen Nexode Mini 30W, but it was not including in videos list. Could it become the next videos?
haha, yeah only so many I can get to. I still have 3 or 4 UGREEN products here waiting for testing. Hopefully, before the end of the year there will be another round of their chargers.
This was so amazingly informative , thank you.
I need to make another video with too much in it. Comparing 300 power adapters or something completely unreasonable. I can do that, I wonder how many other people can do that.
Your videos are the best so thorough on your review. I appreciate the time and effort you put into your video. Thank you very much!!!!
Thanks for watching!
This is exactly what I need, thank you very much for making this video.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. That's a great demonstration of the various models
You know for how many more I've tested this year, not much has changed.
Okay, Big Thanks .
Thank you for your efforts in this area.
Thanks for watching.
Many thanks for your reviews. Some stuff takes me back to my uni. :)
You are welcome. I had fun making this one. Finding all the adapters first...
Another fantastic video , thank you for your great information
Thanks! As usual, way too much information.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Naaaaa, just the right amount
As always great video!
Thanks.
Great video and great channel! I think this channel has the potential to grow a LOT! With new EU regulations (with worldwide effects) on USB-C chargers, more and more devices coming without charger in the box, and your quality reviews! Keep it up. :)
Thanks, yeah, no plans to stop yet. Long path to growth, one video at a time.
Amazing channel. Glad I searched before I bought!
Thanks for watching!
Amazing. Lots of info, thanks.
Thanks. That’s the goal. Probably too much information.
I really enjoy your objective videos and value them as a exellent resource for making an informed decision. Sortof like a combination of project farm and electroboom. I think it would be great if you could make a dedicated video to explain in more detail the metrics messured like Power Factor (PF) and Total Harmonic Distortion (THC).
I am also wondering what happenede with the series you started "Learn Electronics Basics in 5 minutes or less" it looked promising. Thanks for the videos and keep up the great work.
Hello, thank you! I mean being compared to channels like that is awesome. They are great channels, obviously some influence here. I have a video on these metrics: ruclips.net/video/Hr36xVG6NhE/видео.html It is a bit long and no where near as professional as the newer stuff, haha. I could go with a remake of this for sure. Dedicated videos to each topic would be amazing, I guess I could use the series thing... if that ever went anywhere.
I miss the learn electronics in 5 minutes or less series. I have a whole plan for that.. the video did so bad (I mean I guess that was my fault not doing a great job on the first video) I got turned off immediately from making more. I have had the second one in limbo for over a year now... if this was a job those would be out like clockwork, and we'd be building useless led trinkets by now!
Thank you very very much, sir! No one else could have done it better!
Haha. Thanks! I don’t know about that. I need to start planning the 2023 best of videos.
@@AllThingsOnePlace please review the Baseus 65w ultra-slim Charger. 🙏🙏
Finally! Great Video!
Only advice I would say is add the youtube video subdivisions so people could skip to whatever power range they need or maybe right to the conclusion. People are impatient
Yeah, my videos are usually short enough or focused enough that I don't bother with chapters. I agree, this one could use some though.
really informative video, great video.
Thanks!
Excellent!!!! Great, from now on you are my PS guy, thanks.
Thanks!
I’m looking for power adaptor that I could use with my iPhone, iPad, and Macbook. After watching several of your videos I think I’ll go with the Baseus 100W. Thank you for making this video🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for watching.
Your channel is a gift to humanity
haha, wow. Thank you.
Would love if your reviews and rating for all power adapters were visible somewhere perhaps your website? Really helpful for us to compare, some of the adapters i.e the Baseus models aren't available in the UK so having a searchable list would tell me the next best option. Keep up the great work!
pqs.app
@@AllThingsOnePlace Thanks for sharing this! Annoyingly a lot of the brands aren't available in the UK. If I want something decent and 65w+ with multiple ports, my choices are basically Anker at like £90 or importing SlimQ from the States. No Baseus, HyperJuice or Hyphen-X in the UK unfortunately, and the more affordable options from UGreen (65w) and Tecknet (65w) perform poorly with no PFC it seems.
thank u for this. watching from taiwan and philippines.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks a lot .. !!! Awesome
You are welcome and thanks for watching.
Great video. Was hoping you would cover the anker 25w powerport III and where it stacked up compared to the rest
The 25W powerport three isn't a bad little charger. I had to draw the line somewhere on what made it and didn't make it. There is a video on that somewhere on the channel.
Hopefully one day i will see prolimk usb charger being reviewed. Keep up the good work
Prolink chargers are the same as Wotobeus chargers (at least the higher wattage ones). So, see those videos. I do have more Wotobeus stuff here to review still.
Excellent review. Please consider reviewing the best car usb chargers.
Yeah, I have some more to check out, I need to get that on the schedule. A lot of cheap stuff out there in that market.
Excellent video i like the roundup. I am torn on where to draw the line. Mostly because I really like the GNA prime 120W that is not 3.1 but is a great size. Other then that cant wait for the Slimq reviews.
I actually used my slimq With ZC830 and that gives me 3 more ports. I know I am pushing the safety of these chargers so that is why I depend on good designs and great reviews! I also like to use WITRN-PS1KW for portable DC power distro. This Lets me setup a mini lab while on the go. I like to use miniware products. If you cant tell I have a thing for USB C. Know I just need to design USB C ESC. :)
Thanks! Oh that WITRN device is scary from the safety prospective but yeah I get it. Easy way to get lots of ports. I made something similar many years back when I needed 10x5V-2A USB ports and it didn't exist yet. Now adapters like that are cheap as chips.
Great roundup of all the power adapters that you've tested thus far. Basseus is still on top for 100w. But DongGone had to take the lead for the over 100w class doggone. Your gonna invent a bulky desktop charger called, All Things In One Place. Its gonna have at least 10 USB ports on it, its going to be capable of 200W per port, that means it will have a total of 2000W capacity. It may pop your home breaker, but hey, at least it will look dam sexy while it does it baby woohoo!
2 kW no 2 megawatts, need a small power plant to make it go...
@@AllThingsOnePlace 🤣
Hey thank you for the great work! Well done indeed, would you consider reviewing EV level 2 charges it might be good idea! Thanks again
Yeah, get into the big stuff at some point. I think at that point I'll need to take on sponsors to support my bad habits of buying too many adapters.
would love to see a review of the belkin boost charge 108w desk charger soon. keep up the great work
Yeah, it is still on the list. I have some other 108 watt chargers too. Building the story.
@@AllThingsOnePlace hope it's soon
Just try to buy a 100w wall charger, great video.
Hard to understand but love some badass scoring system to help me make decision
haha, yeah this one was a little to fast talking.
Thanks for doing this buddy I’m just a regular guy but I’m really into chrome stuff hahahah I don’t know why but it’s so cool… not many people realize how cool electronics are
It's a tiny world of mysteries but just one key press on a computer these days elicits millions of transistors to spring into action, also it's fun.
Excellent comparison, thanks for all that valuable info. I got a suggestion for a new video for your consideration:
You mentioned in a previous video how UGreen advertises its products on LMG channels (that's basically how I got here): I saw an LTT video where they replaced the OEM charger with the UGreen Nexode 100w wall charger and the question I've been asking (and haven't found the answer to) is: how efficient is that?
I know there are multiple applications for that use: retro consoles, cordless phones, external drives, home switches, ISP/own routers, Echo/Nest/Apple AI devices, security DVRs, casting devices, etc., so the real question is: slimming down the adapter count on the wall will actually help me save a buck or two around the year (hopefully more) or are we better off keeping the OEM bulky adapters?
I have a video on that, that has been in the works for so long... I need to get it finished up. But yes, in the end it can save money switching to a more efficient adapter, and a multiport adapter with less smaller power converters and one larger more efficient converter.
So I found this channel after buying a new power adapter, but this is amazing! On my earlier note, would you by chance be testing out any of the Shargeek adapters? Specifically the 3-port 67W?
Yeah, I have the 100W one. I don't have the one with the display on it. Looks like a crowdfunding deal, I don't get near those until they are fully available. But still looks like a cool device with the display. Anyway, I am not sure about Shargeek yet, I looked at one power bank and it was a horrible product and very expensive so I stopped looking at anything else from them.
What a fantastic channel! Thank you so much for providing such an in-depth, concise and informative insight into such underrated category of products.
Also, your cadence, voice and style is very reminiscent of JerryRigEverything. 😂 Keep up the great work!
I do also have a question concerning chargers. I currently have a 14-inch MacBook Pro with a 96W fast charger but was thinking of getting something in the 65w range for travel and mobility. Would a charger with lower wattage increase the longevity of the battery instead of constantly using Apple’s high wattage charger which constantly fast charges? I realize that the 65w category seems to be the worst compromise of the bunch, but what tips do you have given my use case?
Everyone can pick the adapter that suits their needs so I won't say no to anything. In the case of a laptop the battery is large enough that charging at 100W or 65W won't make any measurable difference in longevity of the battery, the current into and out of the battery is small enough to not cause significant heating. What will make more of a difference is how the battery is used, discharge/charge cycles, how often it is kept in different states of charge.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Ah, I see. Appreicate the help! Well, I made the mistake of keeping my previous 2013 Air mostly plugged in which actually made the battery deteriorate at a faster level. But you're saying that the actual current is small enough from the MacBook fast charger (96w) that the impact should negligible? I'm thinking the best way to use the new Pro is to just use it without a charger once it's 100%.
Which mobile charger would you go with for a laptop? The Apple 96w is unfortunately too bulky for travel.
@@Glatroz I bring my Baseus 100W with me since it charges my laptop, phone, and watch but for a reasonable charge rate and more compactness the Amazon Basics 65W is probably the best one. I do take that sometimes for one device.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Sounds good. Yeah I'd actually like to have something with at least 2 USB-C ports to charge my iPhone, Apple Watch and MacBook.
Will you be reviewing the Anker 735 or the Baseus 65W? Curious if those might solve my need.
@@Glatroz I did the 735 ruclips.net/video/es-EXwPbaFk/видео.html and the Baseus 65W adapters ruclips.net/video/YOKP_8w59PY/видео.html , the Gan2 one is okay but they all have one issue or another so I don't use them myself. They do all function as chargers though, they aren't unsafe or anything, just less efficient.
Thank you so much for this!!
You are welcome!
This is it folks! This is as good as a comparison gets. He has missed NOTHING. Love it.
Haha, leave no rock unturned?
Great summery!
Could you please test the Baseus 120W?
You mean this one: ruclips.net/video/9nSKzHDBFjc/видео.html
Good stuff
Thanks!
Hello sir, appreciate all your effort in these videos. I bought a bunch of baseus bc of your recommendation. Can you please recommend what that USB cable you are using is in this video? I noticed you use it all the time is that what you recommend?
I use the 10 inch Satechi cable mostly. There is a video on which USB cables are the best. There is another one in production. ruclips.net/video/VD5yhULVJdo/видео.html
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks for the informative video. I believe there is a typo on the 20w UGREEN model name (it should be cd241 instead of cd271). Regarding the best 30w models aren't there better options according to past videos you have made and the pqsapp like the Belkin Boost WCH001dq and the UGREEN cd127? Also if i can find the UGREEN cd127 (30w) for the same price as the UGREEN cd241 (20w) which in your opinion is the better deal provided i will use it mostly to charge a phone?
Nice work! The 20W UGREEN gets the go because it has a safety listing (although not country specific, it has one). The 30W doesn't so it is out. The belkin is a great choice also but it is also bulkier and has less modes of operation so the Google I gave the overall win. I had to draw the line somewhere on the video. I did consider putting both in but I went with overall feature count and size as factors also this time, not strictly power performance as I usually do. The google also beat the belkin in idle performance but that is a tiny part of the factor. Either way great finds!
This is a great video and you touched on how there was going to be a lot of technical info, but I wanted to provide some feedback from someone that is fairly intelligent, but not in the electrical engineer world.
You talk way too fast. I can absorb a lot of new info, but not at breakneck speeds. You are speaking at a speed as if you are talking to colleagues rather than the DIY/enthusiast crowd, who are smart and can understand the concepts but may need to resurface a lot of the information you are referencing. I know, I can slow the video down manually, but you might find you appeal to a larger DIY audience if you make it more accessible by simply slowing to a teacher’s pace. Having said that, this is golden info! You are a god among men.
Haha, yeah, the YT pace is generally faster than normal (200+wpm is normal, I tend to be 230 - 250 wpm though I even slow it down sometimes). I think normal teaching pace is far too slow (150 wpm) but I 100 percent agree I need to slow it down a bit. Maybe aim for 190 wpm. I have the "video must be about 10 minutes" thing so even when the script is longer I tend to speak faster to cram it in. Some transitions and sound breaks will give some time to absorb data as well. It is all production time. I usually am finishing the video day before or even day of release so I need to break that habit as well but with a full time job, it is usually crunch time to get it done.
The comparison is technical and very good but there were many models missing in the range of 30-50USD(in China), 65 to 100W this is the popular price range, there were still some brands to test Wotobe, Ugreen, Esager, Kovol, Mcdodo. Anseip, Kuula, Qoovi, but that's great, technical analysis clarifies a lot, thanks!
So, some have their own videos, the adapters didn't make the cut for the overall video. There are something like 150 tested so far, with the new brands that pop up every month it is difficult to keep up with them all! I see some new ones in your list though and I added them to my list, thank you for the suggestions! I think Wotobe is rebranded Wotobeus in US? There are several videos on those UGREEN, and KOVOL devices on the channel though.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Technical and enlightening videos like these only exist on your channel; We can identify expensive products that, compared to cheaper ones, are not as good as their high prices usually indicate; an example of this is the Kovol 140W KV-PC019, which costs almost half the price of the Anker 747 150W (in China) , however, with your reviews, we can pragmatically conclude that the Anker 747 is not as good for its high price compared to the great quality/price found on the Kovol based on your review numbers. Another surprise for me is the confirmation of the good quality of the popular 100W Baseus adapter and the superior quality of Wotobeus, which has now launched a new 200W model! Please continue this work and thanks for the videos!
What chargers do not shut off to renegotiate when another device is plugged in? I need a dual port 110W (100w, 65w+45w) with all voltages (5,9,12,15,20) with PPS and PFC. Anker seems to have left out 12V on all of their chargers. I also do not want a huge brick thats blocks adjacent wall outlets, nor a desktop charger, just a wall charger. What would be my best option? Not shutting off is primary concern, and size is secondary. I use USB PD as a power supply for a lot of projects and to power some mini pcs and nintendo switch but upon plugging something else in, they shut off. What charger would you recommend for me? Thanks!
The only one I can think of is the Wotobeus 200W, it gets hot at 200W, still warm at 100W, but it does have two USB C ports that won't turn off. I actually use it to power the lighting for all of my videos. As soon as you use a 3rd port it does the power sharing dance.
Thanks
No problem.
Thanks for these reviews. A lot of these factors often go unmentioned by manufacturers.
Would you also add Aukey devices to your lineup? Their 65W model "PA-B4 Omnia Duo" has been amazing on the go thanks to its size, and 65W is generally sufficient for thin and light notebooks. But I have no idea of the power quality or efficiency.
I would like to upgrade to a good 100W PD3.1 charger, but I have no need for 3-4 plugs, and something like the Baseus mentioned here is just too chonky for the backpack. I hope manufacturers will optimize for portability in this category as well.
Yeah, I need to get into the Aukey stuff. The 100W Baseus charger is a little large but its still smaller than carrying my 45W laptop supplied brick so I do carry it. The Anker 100W is about as small as they can get, that one isn't great though. Compromises were made... The 200W UGREEN desktop adapter, that is chonky, haha.
UGreen has a 45 watt dual port adapter, considering how good they did with the 20 watt charger it would be interesting to see how they perform there
I tested it. ruclips.net/video/DJyl3AwwPi8/видео.html It's meh.
I have the apple 20W and anker 18W nano power supplies, the anker makes a high pitched noise when in use while the apple one is silent (I tried 3 different anker 18W power supplies and they all have this). Is there a way you can test power supplies for this coil whine?
I find coil wine is very annoying in real life use... I wouldn't buy one with noise.
@@gepardtilly So do I, I wouldn't have bought the anker chargers if I knew but there's no way to find out in advance. That's why I was hoping they will test for it.
I do listen for it. I do mention it in videos when it's audible but it is a short bit usually so easy to get skipped and the 'studio' isn't silent, actually the coil whine from the power meter is awful! The old one buzzed, had to put a 60Hz cut filter on every video. The Baseus 120W is famous for its squeal, the Insignia adapters also had some.
I could make it happen though money is the issue there. It is expensive, and it isn't something manufactures want to advertise so no one would pay for this (I would with a much larger YT channel, ha). Would need a comprehensive plan, a lot of adapters probably won't make noise so they will probably need some kind of abuse cycle, vibration table, drop tests to simulate wear and tear.. then chamber time in an acoustic anechoic chamber is big $$$. It isn't impossible but it takes a bit more than my current resources to make it happen.
@@AllThingsOnePlace It's not very loud with the anker but when charging at night in a silent room its definitely audible, especially when using it to power a wireless charger.
@@AllThingsOnePlace The 3 anker chargers I tried had the whine from day 1.
Great Comparison, solved me lots of doubts on what charger buy, which one do you recommend me, I'm looking for a 65w one that has three ports, I've seen that you reviewed a ravpower charger and a kovol one. But on this video I heard that you use the Baseus one, would you recommend it?
Yeah, I don't really recommend anything 65W, in this video I recommend a 65W amazon basics one as the best of the worst, but it is only one port. The Baseus ones are not good for 65W. The Rav Power and Kovol were functional enough. The Baseus I am talking about is a 100W desktop or wall adapter multiport options.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Thank you so much sir!
Great comparison!
Do you have any plans to review the Satechi 4 port 165w charger?
I do, but I haven't purchased it yet, I think. I need to get more of these done, I have a large bin of untested ones at this point... I have spent a lot of money on this channel so far. I wonder how long it will take to break even... years.
You recommend Baseus 100W as good adapter. But I see in reviews it has problems with devices connecting/disconnecting charging. As I understand when device connected or disconnected it resets/renegotiates all other connected ports. So if non battery powered device is used it will reset it, because power will be switched of for short time. For example a router. Also some people in reviews complained macbooks is starting/stopping charging constantly while being fully charged.
Yeah, that is true of almost every multiport USB power adapter that exists. There are a few that don't do that, usually in the 200 watt category.
@@AllThingsOnePlace thanks for information. Could you name adapter which won't do this?
13:48 where can we find this Google sheet table ? As for now is there any good 200w usb c 3.1 charger or they still all suck?
I don't have it online as of now. The 'best' 200W charger I have tested is probably the Satechi but it like all of the 200W chargers I've looked at has issues. The Satechi does support EPR to 140 watts though. I have a bunch more of them to look at though.
Hi man thanks a lot for your amazing video! For 65w category, which is better between Baseus or Anker serie 7 for multi-usb c port?
Anker.
@@AllThingsOnePlace thanks fot your answer. I have just bought Baseus 100w Gan2 Pro Quick Charger, best for QpS on your website. Good purchase for 42€? Or should i buy something else?
@@petmike2178 For 100W and that price point, that's not a bad choice. Especially, if it works for what you need.
Have you tested the Aohi 65w magcube+ or the amoner 65w GaN chargers? I'm curious how those stack up the the 715 nano ii by Anker from an efficiency/size standpoint. They seem comparable in size based on specs online, though I've never even heard of amoner before, they are far cheaper than aohi and Anker though.
Yes, both have been tested some don't make videos ( pqs.app/devices?search=65w ). Both of those devices are actually strong contenders for the 65W level of power adapter. I don't see any reason to not go with them.
nice video. though i really cannot understand the reading and the graph... i just want to ask. what is the best usb c power adapter that you can recommend...? i have samsung galaxy tab s8. compatible with 45w super fast charging... and i also have samsung a53 that can charge up to 25watts superfast... and um also planning to buy usb c hub PD 100w for my tab. what wattage of power adapter do i need to buy if i will frequently use the hub for my tab? thank you so much
I am not sure on the hub usage with the tablet. The phone should work with any charger with PPS and over 25W capability. So, the Google 30W or one of its siblings. For the larger device, obviously, the Samsung 45W comes to mind. But to power multiple things, and keep the hub powered you may need to get a dedicated power adapter for the hub, single port, so it doesn't turn off every time you plug your phone in (USB negotiation), you may not need 100W but you can certainly go with something in this range. The question is how it will deal with PPS to your device. I don't think a hub will pass PPS so super fast charging probably goes away.
Cheers Mate
Cheers.
Hello and thanks for the videos. Which multiport adapter would you suggest to achieve 45w charge on s23 ultra?(even by using one port at a time)
Pretty much anything with PPS and 100 watts in the PPS mode should deliver. The newest I've looked at is the Anker 313 for single ports. The 100W Baseus multiport is one of my regular use chargers that has the capability.
@@AllThingsOnePlace thank you!
Amazing comparison! I was wondering: are the versions of these likely to be the same all around the world? Will the EU versions of these perform the same?
So, in general, the EU version will have higher idle consumption, lower current draw (slight efficiency advantage at full power), but worse power factor, in general the terms should be near a wash for the PQS... I say should because I haven't actually tested that yet, this is based on data from manufacturers and development kits.
Would you recommend Ugreen of 30 or 65v? I don’t have Anker where I’m currently located. Just Samsung 45v usbc and Xiaomi 65v.
The phone I’m using is Asus rog phone 3
watts*
My choice out of that bunch would be the Samsung 45W. The UGREEN products in general have been okay but lack some safety listings which can be a concern. The 30W UGREEN adapters I've tested I don't remember being all that good. The 65W, tested recently, seemed okay.
this is awesome
Thanks!
I have tried to understand the concenept of PPS. If a adapter says it has pps of 11V, does it mean it goes vary it voltage range from 5-11V ? is that mean I can charge my ancient USB-C with no standard protocol devices with that charger ? it will be great if you make a video to explain the PPS
It can vary the voltage, yes. But the device decides how many volts it needs. The problem with this is the device decides not the power adapter, so most devices won't turn this mode on so a basic power device will only consume 5V from the adapter. If it doesn't have the correct cable / wiring in the older device that may have a USB C port, it also may not work with a 'smart' adapter even if only 5V. There are adapters or triggers like I use that can force these different modes but that is a little more complicated.
Which adapter brand would you recommend for an iPhone ?AirPods? Fastest charge and safe ?
Probably anything in the 20 or 30W categories. There is a more detailed video on 30W here ruclips.net/video/G2r_PFg2YsM/видео.html
Can you review the Omnicharge 65w gan charger? And see how it stacks up against the competition or if the cost simply for the branding?
I added it to the list. On power adapters, it is a long list though.
Can you tell the name of the 3.1 decoy used in 10:46 minutes? Please give me the buy link of that 3.1 pd decoy module
It looks like it isn't available anymore. I tried ordering more myself, they never showed up and the listing from eBay is gone. It isn't exactly a good product either. It isn't good to extract power, I have a four wire measurement by removing solder mask and soldering directly onto the USB connector but the board has significant voltage drop if you were to use it to power things.
@@AllThingsOnePlace can you suggest such a pd3.1 decoy module with witch i can activate 28v from my 140w mac adapter?
I've got a question could you review the cellularline 5 port charger ? I always wanted to buy one but I'm scared it will damage my devices.
I can add it to the list for sure. It is a very long list.. what is the specific model?
@@AllThingsOnePlaceit’s the cellularline multipower fast+ thanks In advance 😊
I saw the SlimQ 100W in the intro, but not mentioned anywhere... any insights to share on that one?
Sorry if I missed it somewhere
Yep, ruclips.net/video/fXhrWCIkEKM/видео.html looks like you already found it though.
Will you try the baseus power combo charging station 100w desktop that has the watt meter. I want to see how accurate the meters are.
No, I haven't tried that one. It will be a while before I get to it, it is on the list.
I see a lot of offers for Essager and Toocki chargers online, do you plan to make videos on those?, thanks a lot for the work that you do.
I did one Essager charger, it was functional.
@@AllThingsOnePlace What about Toocki?, there are lots of cables and a few chargers floating around ali that seem interesting for the price, but obviously I don't want to plug anything important into any of these unless I know they are at least safe to use lol
So where does the 10V/3.3A lands in the chraging modes?
That would have to be a PPS or programmable power supply mode if part of the power delivery or PD protocol, or something proprietary.
Thoughts on the Nomad USBC 65w and 100w chargers? Looking for something a little more minimalistic than the baseus if it exists
I know they've been on my list for a while but I haven't checked them out yet. I need to get organized, ha.
@AllThingsOnePlace thanks for a great comparison of chargers. Could you please answer a question? Is it ok to charge a 65W (20V 3.25A) power delivery laptop (25W CPU inside and integrated graphics) with a 45W (20V 2.25A) charger? I understand that charging is slow in this mode, but does it hurt to laptop battery or a charger? And the second question. Can 3Amps cable provide 3.25Amps combined with (20V 3.25A) power delivery charger?
Yeah, I don't see anything wrong with that at all. Charging a bit slower is not a problem. Also, taking a cable from 3 amps to 3.25 amps is going to be fine if it works good at the 3 amp level.
@@AllThingsOnePlace thanks a lot)
wow. not as many green bars as hoped for.
as a digital nomad, i look for a 45 to 65 watt charger with two usb-c slots.
looks like most models in this range aren't that great 😞
Yeah, the apple is expensive and bulky enough I hoped they shoved something good in there but what they did was shove two bad power adapters into one case. I have seen this from several manufacturers. I have a bunch more of these middle tier adapters here to test though so so hopefully will find the one.
My laptop only supports up to 65w PD, but the CS said that it won't charge if it gets less than 65 watts (20V at 3.25A), so if I get one with 65w max, when I charge my laptop the additional part of the adapter would become useless, right? Do you think it is better for me to get the 100 watts instead? Thanks anyways
Yep, if you want to go 65W I would get a single port adapter since as you said the other port won't work. If you want to charge a smaller device or two while using the laptop then a 100W adapter is a better option. Note that on any plug and unplug there is some renegotiation and depending on which device you get the power on each port may be different, so you have to pick the 'correct' port.
@@AllThingsOnePlace thank you so much, I have an eye on baseus 100w now
Okay, so based on your review I ended up ordering (in addition to the Baseus 3 port charger) the Amazon Basics single port charger for my new Moto Edge+ (2023), but was disappointed to find it will only use the 9v 3a (27w) charging mode. The phone is capable of 68w, and the charger is capable of 65w, so I don't know what's going on but 27w is all that's getting transferred between them. That's not enough of a bump to make it worth keeping when I have a half dozen of the Anker Nano 20w chargers which are fully utilized.
I also noticed that even though my phone is capable of 68w charging, it only stays that high for a min before dropping to 50w and then shortly after dropping to 40w where it stays for a while. So 68w is almost entirely an advertising gimmick as it barely uses that much at all. So I ordered the Anker 313 45w after watching your review of that model too and sure enough it works great. Very happy with it and it's very compact and only $18 for prime members. 😁 Still disappointed in the Amazon charger though. Weird.
Yes, the issue with the Amazon basics charger is that it is PD fixed voltage only. No PPS modes. The other thing is that yes, the high wattage charging on phones is a gimmick, the battery would swell almost immediately and fail if you forced that many watts in on a regular basis and over the whole charge cycle. The phones measure temperature and charge level to charge safely and as fast as possible. The 45W Anker seems like a good middle ground.
I admit that I don't much knowledge in this area, but why would I go for the desktop charger version of Baseus 100W if I could have the same thing (just assuming) by getting the wall charger and it would also be more portable. Is there a really important detail that I'm missing about the desktop charger having some benefits over the other version? Thanks in advance.
Edit: More context, most of the time I'll probably use my charger to charge both my MacBook Pro M3 and Pixel 6, and maybe rarely I would have one more phone.
The desktop versus wall type shouldn’t have any advantage but different companies do build them with variations. If just a phone and a laptop any 100 watt adapter should be reasonable.
@@AllThingsOnePlace I see, I'll go for the wall charger then as it's more portable. Then again I'd have another issue between picking between the 4 ports GaN2 one vs the 2 ports GaN5 one. Probably will go with the 4 ports one tho as it was more tested and .. yeah .. it has more ports, rather than risking it for something that wasn't that much tested and with less ports overall. Cool, thanks a lot! After watching plenty of your videos, finally decided with confidence on what adapter to get. Keep up the good work!
Amazing
Thank you for watching!
Is CCGAN100-1ACE the same as Baseus 100W Desktop Adapter described in the video?
Yeah. I’ve been trying to get my hands on one of those to find out. I expect it to be the same but with a different plug.
Hey, just found your videos, amazing content! Can i assume the 230volt 100 watt EU charger variant from baseus would get the same score or better? Is there any way you can test this?
Yeah, I need to get some EU testing going. I don't have a good AC power source for 50 Hz yet, the lab ones are very expensive... and then for video use, very noisy, like server room noisy. In general the idle power consumption will be higher, the power factor will be lower, but the efficiency will be a little higher. Kind of a tradeoff in the metrics so essentially they should be roughly the same, it will very for larger devices versus smaller ones though. A power factor corrected device will probably do worse on EU since active PFC is less effective on higher voltages and lower power levels.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Does this mean power factor correction isn't as important for chargers used in the EU?
@@sbptl No, it still matters. It just doesn't work on lower powered devices as well.
Hey your video was very informative! I have a monster led sound reactive light strip that’s 6ft long and meant to connect with the tv’s USB port. I have a 50-55” Vizio flat screen and when I plug the strip into it, it is flickering the white light and the IR remote will not respond to the light strip(yes I pulled the plastic out of the battery compartment and swapped for a in use working battery to the remote). I saw another video on RUclips and and the guy said it was the adapter not providing enough power to cause it to work properly. Any suggestion on the adapters you provided the information here to purchase to power the led strip correctly? I’ve tried so the adapters here at home. I’m irritated because I’ve already placed it on the TV (3M double sided tape)
I need some specifications of the LED strip. What current and voltage it operates at will determine what adapter may be able to work with it. There may be some mismatch also. It it is 5V only, the current will be potentially high, or peak very high, which may cause many adapters to reset, this is why PD negotiates higher voltages from power adapters. But even still a 0 - 100 watt instant demand will reset most 100W adapters since it sees this as a fault.
Can you also add to your graphs for the chargers that if theyr'e rated to 220v as well? The Baseus desktop (corded) version is not rated for international travel because of that (other than countries with 120v). But I already have an Anker international adapter (EU) so I'd just use longer Usb A to Usb c/lightning. That could be a thing you could test next, international adapters and which ones will be the safest.
I am starting to do that, the Satechi 165W video has both 230 and 120 data. I am collecting international adapters for a video on them as well. I have found A LOT of bad stuff so far.
is it safe to use belkin 108watt gan charger 96watts usb c port for charging m1 macbook air that comes with 30watts charger?
Yes, the device decides how much power to use so it will only negotiate for what it needs. The power adapter does not force the number of watts into the device.
@@AllThingsOnePlace but I see power as 96 watts in mac power information?
Getting anker 120w & 140w pd3.1 ganprime series for 53$ each, from AliExpress this 11.11 sale!
Should I go for it?
That is a good deal.
What would be the best 40 to 65 charger with 2 type C ports, size and weight are secondary. thank you!
If size and weight are secondary, get a 100W adapter that has PFC and reasonably high efficiency.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Thank you for your answer! From your review CCGAN100US seems like the best option, correct me if Im wrong :P. Do you know which is the EU plug version for this charger. By the way its use would mostly focus in charging iphone 14 pro, airpods, other gadgets like watch headphones and occasionally a macbook pro 14 but future proofing is also a concern. Really appreciate your content and input 🙏
I am looking for a small usb-c pd 20W+ (and usb-a qc 3.0) that can be used at the same time.
2 usb-c and one usb-a is also fine as long as I can charge at 2 devices at the same time at minimum 20w of more PD and one at 18w qc 3.0. Now I have a quite bulky 45W GC adapter that has a usb-c pd/qc that can either charge my phone with usb-c to usb-c at 18w or my powerbank at 40w but when I charge my powerbank, the regular usb-a is not qc 3.0. I also have a 35W PD20W usb-c +QC3.0 usb-a but the usb-a is only providing 18w when the usb-c is not in use. I do have a larger 100w adapter but I want something less bulky. What are my options without having to buy 2-3 to know what will do the job? Thanks in advance, really love your reviews.
So I ordered a 65w voomy USB adapter that can simultaneously provide 60w usb c pd and qc 3.0 on its usb a or 40w on output 1 and 20w on output 2, both usb c. It cannot provide qc 3.0 on its usb a when output 2 is used but that doesn't matter. I found a small enough (65w) power adapter.
That's good to hear you found something that works. Yeah, there are so many options out there now it is difficult to even attempt to test 10% of what's available. Of the 65W options I've tested so far none really impressed me so most often I say just step it up to the 100W size adapter but they do have more bulk as a trade off. I have some really compact 65W ones to review eventually.
Which one to get If a laptop can take 65W ? If only laptop is connected then 65W charger is enough but if I want to connect anything else then 100W is the way to go right? So baseus 100w woukd be the best?
That is how I see it. I use my 100W Baseus in exactly that case. Phone, watch, laptop always, then camera batteries or a power bank occasionally.
I am looking for a 20W usb C charger. Can you suggest the best 2-3-4 models to choose please ? Thanks.
Hmmmm. I guess I need to do a 20w roundup video. As of now I really just say get a 30w adapter. I’d watch the newer Anker 511 video.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Thanks ! I've seen all of your charger test videos. 😅
what a great video, you deserve more than 11.4k subs mate , specially when u answered all comment down bellow👊. I was wondering is it necessary to change adapter when i used it already for 1 or 2 years even it still work just fine ?
Thanks! The channel is growing, not fast, but that's okay, a little bit at a time. If it is working no reason to replace it right? Admittedly, I still occasionally use the (not original but about 10 year old) Apple 5W charger from time to time. I leave it at work, it isn't a good charger efficiency wise and seems to take the entire day to charge a phone but it does still work. If only I had a better charger to replace it.
So i dont know why but i have binge watched your videos for like 2-3 hours. but i need conclusion. what do you suggest for me, 1 charger that can charge iphone 15 pro (USB C), apple watch (USB C) and iphone 11 (USB A)?
Baseus 100W charger (desktop is my preferred option) would handle those three devices power wise. The iphone 15 is the only unknown, being the first usb c to c phone it is apparently incompatible with some chargers so a bit of a gamble there but that would be true with any charger.
I charge my earbuds with 5w charger as previous one destroyed the battery of earbuds and headphones. Can you tell me why it happened and which charger to use in future as currently i am using 5w apple charger as it had costed me a lot
I'm not sure, I use the 165W Satechi with all of my apple products, watch, airpods, phone, etc. It doesn't over charge anything. The device decides how much power to use during charging. If the device decides it can pull more current and more is available in the charger, the device side may not have proper protection to keep the power regulated to a safe level causing failure of either the charging circuity in the device or the battery. This trend is slowly getting better but there are still a lot of devices out there that will allow faster charging when they really can't support it. If the 5W brick works stick with it.
going to build a 7ah 4s lifepo4 battery for my 55 liter fridge. it uses about 140w/day right now. was going to get a high efficiency ~20watt usbc adaptor and i think connect it to a 15v usbc pd trigger board and wire that into a solar pwm charge controller. im hoping the battery will give me better portable use (my car turns off its 12v dc plugs when off) and i also want the fridge to work for awhile if there is a power outage. im thinking a ~20w usbc power brick will cut the power consumption by another ~20%. i got the idea from the ecoflo glacier fridge which i am pretty sure is using the same exact strategy. maybe get a small ~50w solar panel and add an xd connector or something just like the ecoflo
I'm assuming wh/day... if 140w is the power consumption while on, then you would need run time to find out the wh. The battery pack you describe is only 100 wh, and if the fridge is using 140w while on that will be very demanding on that battery pack and likely lead to overheating also you'll only get 60-70 wh out of the pack due to inefficiency. The charging method sounds like it might work with enough storage. 20W times 24hr is 480wh, so theoretically enough energy is available. The issue there is the tiny USB bricks are not made for full time use, so they'll overheat and fail early. In terms of cutting power consumption, no, with converters and extra pieces you will likely lose 20-40% of the energy you put in.
@@AllThingsOnePlace oops my bad...
fridge uses 150wh/day
max draw is 68 watts,
settles to 38 watts continuous then 0watts.
duty cycle is ~10 minutes on, 50 minutes off.
i think the voltme 65w usbc thin charger can put out about 70 wats instantaneously at 15v from my testing but still think it might cause the power adaptor to shut off/overload so the battery would really just be there to share the peak load for about 30-60 sec.
i think there are a few issues i need to work out like using the load on the solar pwm controller vs directly wiring into the battery... i am pretty sure i can charge the 14.5v nominal lifepo4 brick with a 15v usbc pd trigger board if i put the pwm controller in-between? its just like a 15v ~50w solar panel after all?
