Charger Deals & Offers

Gone up to £7.99 now

Go for a reputable brand and read reviews on Amazon. I've owned Xiaomi, Anker, Ravpower and a Samsung battery packs. None of them damaged my devices, although the Samsung died after a few months.

Used loads of different portable chargers - they can’t do any damage, the worst thing they can do is not charge

Question: Many of us need & use powerbanks for our tablets, phones etc Those devices are expensive to replace - if a charger causes damage. How do we judge how safe/reliable any particular charger is? What specific things do we need to look for / take into account? It would be a shame to loose a £100-£1000 device over an unknown design?

Cheers ordered

Not voted but this seems expensive for a wireless charger.

Heat added OP

Agreed. Ordered another one for the bedroom 🤪

Agree it's too much, but best deal around and only way to get the additional features, so I bit!

Still about £20 too much for me (not voted either way)

Can anyone recommend a decent, cheap QC charger?

I paid £4.99 for this one RAVPower 7.5W Fast Wireless Charger with HyperAir, 10W Qi Wireless Charging Pad for iPhone XS/XR/XS MAX, Galaxy S9/ S9+/ S8/ S7/ Note 8 and All Qi-Enabled Devices (No Adapter) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B082NK8QP5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_py61EbPZGWDEP

Ok cheers bud.

Yes, you can use any charger, but it'll probably charge slower than if it is connected to a QI fast charger. Give it a go without, it might be quick enough for you, but note that wireless charging is noticeably slower than wired.

I simply wouldn’t know - depends on your wall plug specs and your phone specs. I happen to have it connected to a fast charger because I use one of the other ports with a lightning cable to my iPad to fast charge that.

True, all my Eneloops capacities are within about +/- 200 mAh of when they were new and some are about 5 years old now.

Thank you so much for this!

For ease of use I like the Liitokala Engineer Lii-500 but if you want a good compact one (but it's a bit more fiddly to use) something like a Technoline BC-500 I think it's called (there are others same charger different brand). :) Both discharge but Liitokala is easier to read and more Intuitive.

I bought a load of those cheap 7dayshop rechargeable batteries and they’ve all failed. I recommend IKEA or Eneloops now. Cheap rechargeables are a false economy, it’s worth spending a bit more and getting ones that are made in Japan.

Ladda are good batteries but Ikea chargers are rubbish. Got one DOA

You can get this at AliExpress with promo codes and flash deals for £27 or if you can chain your AliExpress vouchers at the same time for £25 from their official store. But last time I checked, they ran out of stock for UK plugs. So if you are not in a hurry, there you go ;)

I have mixed feelings about this one as I posted myself a Choetech deal and got hot votes. I could not see any similar products, so in theory, this is a good product as there are no alternatives. However, in practice, I don't know, I've only heard of this brand on HUKD. Some suggest this is a well known brand, but I am not familiar with. Considering what type of product this is and what damage can do, I am not sure I want one. But if the brand is reliable, I don't know if you'll get a better deal. I hope those voting cold are voting against the brand and they understand the use of this. Under £40 for such device is a decent price.

Outputs are impressive Output: USB-C Output1/2:DC 5V-3A, 9V-3A,12V-3A,15V-3A,20V-5A(100W Max) USB-C Output1+2:DC 5V-3A, 9V-3A,12V-3A,15V-3A,20V-2.25A(45W Max)

Chotec are a quality product and a well known brand. This should not be cold.

I'd still rather this product were made by anker, even if it cost £60 instead of £40. I've had bad (explodey) experiences with even tier 2 suppliers like RAVpower where the return experience was painful so am reluctant to spend money with them again, unless it's low voltage only and doesn't have a battery.

To be fair, didn't Anker start off this way? Rebranded Chinese plugs and cables with Prime delivery, and no doubt a hefty amount of fake Amazon reviews, long before they starting "trying" to crack down on it.

Try the Ravpower 60w one. I've got it, my laptop needs 65w, despite this, it charges my laptop about 10% faster than my original brick. I'm well impressed with it, probably one of my best purchases. Otherwise, you have the Ugreen 65w, but I don't think that one is GaN if that matters to you.

I’ve got this charger, it’s very small and compact. I’m powering a thinkpad that needs 65w off it and it works but flicks it into airplane mode because of the slightly lower output. If it was 65w at this size it would be absolutely perfect. No issues with quality though it’s solid as a rock

bought this one or two days before this deal was submitted and it's really good value, like the rest of the stuff I have from choetech. Same quality as ugreen and anker in my opinion.

What is a GaN charger and why will you want one? tl;dr Simply put, chips made of GaN will be faster, smaller, more power-efficient, and (eventually) cheaper than those made of silicon.

Anyone got one of these and would they recommend?

Anyone have any experience using this with pixel 3?

I use this and I recommend it. I charge my earbuds and smart watch with it too.

It’s a dc charger input

Have 2 of these, brilliant

Can you use the original charger that comes with the phone or do you need this adapter to give a fast charge?

I think it's a common problem with delivery addresses being set up with the AliExpress auto complete

‘This product can’t be shipped to the selected region.’

You won’t get the same warranty buying from AliExpress so if you can get a deal on Amazon, I would do that.

Great price

I bought 2 from Amazon, great price then, even better price now. Heat.

Mines vent mounted but I wouldn't worry, the adhesive they use seems to be a bit proper!. That's why I went vent mounted as I'm undecided on how long I'm keeping my car and this thing doesn't look like it's going anywhere once mounted!. As for the wattages, from my understanding it's just the coils and regulator system used that determines the current it's willing to accept from a charger. This will output 20w, whatever your device will accept will be the limit. So it's not a protocol, merely the same field, but more powerful.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVfwomOuDfg looks like it supports Fast Charging on S10+ (which is what I have) - might have to give this a shot. Only thing Im unsure on now is the screen mount, looks a bit on the small side - is yours windscreen or vent mounted?

It comes with a charger. Given the voltage support it appears to be PD and not QC. However I haven't put on a analyser tool but it's an educated guess.

Does it support Fast Charge (QC 2/3.0)?

I have this one and it's very well behaved

does this have overcharge protection? I have some devices like controllers or Nintendo Switch that doesn't support quick charge, and as far as I know higher current may damage the battery

This doesn't support qualcomm quick charge, you'd need an Anker powerport +1

It was £10 promo on anything on AnkerDirect's listings. So, everyone had their own choice. I grabbed this for free as well..

Promotion would have been because you bought with something else, or you had promotional credit in your account.

God speed is what I am looking for :-)

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07H1S6PHN/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_i_eso1Eb7MKP77B Sorry buddy just to check. So this one currently is 16.99 for just the charger which seems a steal, or 35 with the lead, not quite such a steal! But would any USB C to C lead do to get the 27W turbo charge or would I need a specific one? If so can you advise a cheap one? :D

No probs mate

Oh really? Any of those will turbo charge it? Amazing, I wish I'd realised this before. Thank you!

Sorry sometimes I get that many replies some get unseen. Search for QC4. 0 chargers on amazon, that charge 30W, and they will work

@MrSwitch Just tagging you as I'm not sure my previous reply will have appeared in your notifications :)

This thing crapped out on me badly 2 months after the 18 month warranty ran out. Anker will then not help you. So my tip is get it changed in warranty soon as it starts to not be as effective.

Shows how old this bank is when it’s charging a Galaxy S6.

This is a good little pack, surprisingly small. Takes a while to charge the pack, but good output.

I’ve had this charger since November and I can vouch for it. We use it daily to charge a bunch of devices in the living room. Does the job well

No. 18W is the maximum from one port (USB-C Power Delivery). 12W is the maximum output from the two USB-A ports. Total output across 2 or 3 ports simultaneously is 30W.

Will it charge Redmi Note 9 Pro at 30W ?

Correct. That is also my understanding from the above information. I don’t own a Nintendo Switch nor have I used one so if someone who does, knows different, feel free to share the info.

Thanks for the info cheekster, so if I understand correctly it will charge the switch no problem in handheld mode but it won't power the Dock.
