65W Fast Charger - 2 USB-C & 1 USB-A Ports, Universal Travel Charger with UK/US/EU Adapters, Compatible with iPhone, Samsung, Huawei, MacBook, Dell XPS, HP Laptops etc, GaN Wall Quick Charge

Not too fast, but fast enough

Stopped working after 2 months out of nowhere

This is a solid purchase for those wishing to have a Gan charger that is compact and travel frequently. This is the smallest sized charger I have in my collection (of many) and is now my main travelling charger due to its compact size while travelling as it doesnt bulge like most others, when placed in those typical travel bags for chargers and cables etc.

Unfortunately this blew a fuse. Luckily it happened before we went on holiday, but too late to order a replacement. It was returned and I was refunded. I had chosen it because the size and options are perfect for travel. Back to the drawing board.

Fantastic charger. Very good quality and great charging speeds. Comes with a fast charging cable which is a bonus! Would definitely recommend.

Completely stopped working after two months with no visible change to the item. Waste of money.

This works quite well for a travel brick. It stays in our travel case and means we don't have to take a multitude of adapters. For that, I definitely like it. It does a decent enough job of charging all the necessary things via USB C PD. My main annoyance is that it gets quite warm at ~60w. And has quite a high pitched whistle noise. It's a shame it doesn't have PPS, but that's not the end of the world. What does annoy me slightly is it recommends an e-markered 100W USB C cable to charge laptops, at pain of reducing the lifespan of the charger. Nothing wrong with that in itself, except that the bundled cable doesn't meet those specifications. That's a miss in my book.

The stand out feature of this 65W fast charger is the range of international socket adapters that it comes with. Attached to the charger is a two-pin USA plug and in the box are three others for the UK, EU and Australia/New Zealand. To complete the travel “set” a long lightweight USB-C cable and soft pouch are also included. Weight is an important consideration for travel adapters and this one is made using Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductors. These are presently more expensive than silicon, but offer the advantages of smaller size and lighter weight for an equivalent power output, exceeding the performance of silicon in speed, temperature and power handling. The total weight of this entire kit is 177g. The charger has three USB ports and there is some confusion in the listing and packaging regarding the specification of these. The listing and the printing on the side of the charger (which I usually take as the most reliable source of information) both say the two USB-C ports are identical. I found this not to be the case when I took measurements using an FNB58 USB analyser. My readings were confirmed when I looked through the instructions, which are attached to this review: I quote… 4. “Technical parameters”: USB-C1: 5V3A, 9V3A, 12V3A, 15V3A, 20V3.25A (65W Max) USB-C2: 5V3A, 9V2.22A, 12V1.67A (20W Max) USB-A: 5V3A, 9V2A, 12V1.5A (18W Max) As you can see these accord closely with the Protocols and Triggers I measured, shown in the attached pictures (green means available and red not available). The bottom line is that the USB-C sockets are not the same; USB-C1 is much more powerful than USB-C2 and supports more protocols and output voltages. This is disappointing, as I was led to believe they would both be the same and capable of full performance. As expected the USB-A port is does not have the same performance as the USB-C ports. For information; this is the specification from the printing on the side of the charger which I found to be wrong: 65W GaN Power Adapter Input: AC100-240V 50/60Hz 1.5A(Max) USB-C1/C2 Output: DC 3.3V-20V/3A, 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/3A, 15V/3A, 20V/3.25A (65W Max) USB-A Output: DC 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/2.5A, 20V/1.5A (30W Max) USB-C1+USB-C2 Output: 45W+18W (63W Max) USB-C1+USB-A Output: 45W+18W (63W Max) USB-C1+USB-C2+USB-A Output: 45W+10W+10W (65W Max) The USB-C cable supplied with the charger is fairly lightweight and although ideal for travelling, it will probably introduce an unacceptable voltage drop at maximum current. I used a higher rated cable to carry out my tests, so the performance of the charger would not be compromised. Powered up, but not supplying any current, the charger drew between 0.5W and 1.5W. Although low, this standby current is significant and if left on 24/7 will cost a few pounds a year to run. The no load voltage is 5.05V, which is close the the USB 5V standard and it only dropped to 4.75V when supplying 3A, this is within the 5% tolerance and very good. When supplying 14.4W the charger drew 18.5W from the mains making it about 78% efficient. Despite the high price, the advanced technology, international mains connectors and size make this an attractive proposition if you can afford it. I have only deducted one star for the poor performance of the C2 port, because once you realise this shortcoming and use C1 for high powered devices you can easily get the full potential the charger has to offer.
