      Hey buddy, you only get a USB C to A cable with the pocket and no plug.
      Since I got my pocket, I've been using the chargers that came with my Google pixel phones. I believe they are 15-18w Power Delivery chargers. I've had no issues so far. I've also charged it using the provided cable plugged into my laptop's usb port.
      I don't think you need to stress, as from what I understand, when using a Power Delivery charger, the Analogue Pocket will draw the right amount of power.
