The USB-IF's Power Delivery standard governs power levels so a high-power charger won't damage a low-power device.Īpple sells its 140W charger separately for $99 but includes no charging cables with it.These days, nearly every device in your bag has a rechargeable battery - your phone, tablet, wireless headphones and laptop probably being your main priorities. But even if you're carrying four or more devices around, you don't need a separate wall charger or outlet or cable for each one. That's because you can charge nearly everything - including newer laptops - through a one-size-fits-all USC-C device charging technology: USB-C power delivery, or USB-C PD. OK, that's a bit of an exaggeration - but not much. The fact of the matter is that if you're packing the right kind of charging cable (or dongles), and your laptop or device was released in the past couple of years, you'll be in very good shape. The key, of course, is getting one of the latest and greatest USB-C power delivery chargers. Thankfully, I've spent the past few weeks testing some of them and I've found some go-to choices for fast charging on the go. This list goes way beyond a simple phone charger. A few commonalities to the models we focused on: Most of these use a new material called Gallium Nitride (or GaN) that enables high-power adapters to be made in much smaller sizes. (That also blows away the puny 5-watt output charger that still defaults pack-in for the iPhone 11 and earlier models, though the iPhone 11 Pro models ship with an 18-watt USB-C model.) As a result, these adapters generally deliver 60 watts of power output or better, putting them in the same ballpark as the 65-watt chargers that many laptops ship with. Most of our top picks below include dual charging outputs instead of one, allowing for simultaneous charging of multiple devices. And they all have folding AC prongs for easy travel.
