Wall chargers, from compact single-port units to high-wattage multi-port GaN bricks.
Responding to feedback on the original, Belkin released this version of the BoostCharge Pro 140W 4-Port GaN Wall Charger with interchangeable US, EU, and UK tips, making the four-port charger far better suited to international travel.
The Belkin BoostCharge Pro 140W 4-Port GaN Wall Charger has three USB-C ports and one USB-A, topping out at 140W, enough for a 16-inch MacBook Pro. It comes in white and retails for S$199.
The Ugreen Nexode 100W Charger steps up from the 65W model with four ports, three USB-C and one USB-A. It retails for S$73.59, and I paid around S$60, though flash sales can drop it to S$46.
The Belkin BoostCharge Pro Dual USB-C GaN Wall Charger is a compact two-port 65W charger in white, retailing for S$80 but often under S$70 on sale. At 111g it is even smaller than the Ugreen Nexode 65W.
The Ugreen Nexode 65W Charger is the younger sibling of the 4-Port 100W Wall Charger, retailing for S$50.39. It has three ports, two USB-C and one USB-A, with a combined 65W output, cheaper on sale days.
The Ugreen 4-Port 100W Wall Charger is the brand's second 100W charger, a UK GaN unit with four ports. It retails for S$71.99 but tends to go cheaper on Lazada's monthly double-digit sale days.
The Verbatim 4-Port PD 100W Charger is a GaN unit with two USB-C and two USB-A ports, supporting PD 3.0 and QC 3.0. It retails for S$109; mine ships with an EU plug, though I'd prefer UK.
The Ugreen 65W GaN charger packs three USB-C ports with PD 3 and one USB-A with QC 4. It comes in EU and UK plug versions, with the UK oddly cheaper at S$39.99 versus the EU's S$44.99.
The Baseus 65W GaN charger has two USB-C ports and one USB-A. Its Lazada listing is full of dubious buzzwords like GaN2 and PD4, but in reality it's the usual Power Delivery 3 and Quick Charge 4 charger.
Alongside the Ugreen and Apple 20W chargers, the Baseus 20W USB-C PD Charger is the cheapest option at just S$10.99. It supports the usual PD 3 and QC 4, and features Baseus's 'Super Si' silicon tech.
I'd waited months for the Ugreen 65W GaN Dual USB-C Charger, which kept selling out. At S$34.19, it weighs 145g, about 1.5 times the size of Ugreen's 20W charger, with two USB-C ports of differing maximum output.
The Ugreen 20W USB-C PD Charger is an Apple 20W adapter alternative, retailing for S$15.99. As a PD 3 / QC 4 unit, it delivers the 9V/2.22A MagSafe charging needs, though its UK pin doesn't fold.
The Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter retails for S$29, or S$25.68 on the EPP, and like most Apple gear includes no cable. It's a single-port 20W charger with a folding UK pin, supporting Power Delivery 3 but no GaN.
The Zendure SuperPort S2 is the brand's latest USB-C charger, retailing for US$31.99 plus a flat US$15 shipping. It's a two-port 65W GaN charger, with the USB-C port doing 65W and the USB-A up to 18W.
The Choetech 100W GaN Dual USB-C Charger retails for US$59.99 with free shipping. Its Gallium nitride design enables higher efficiency and a smaller footprint, and it comes in different plug variants.
The HyperJuice 100W GaN USB-C Charger is a four-port charger that began on Kickstarter, raising over US$2.2 million by December 2019. As an early-bird backer I paid US$49, and impressively for Kickstarter, it shipped on time.
The Energea TravelLite PD+ is an Energea travel adapter, sold in Europe and UK variants, both S$50 in white only. Unlike the TravelWorld, it has no pass-through socket, just two ports including an 18W USB-A.
The Choetech USB Wall Charger with Quick Charge 3.0 retails for S$14.90 on Lazada. Despite the listing showing a US plug, the Singapore version ships with a fixed UK plug. It's a no-frills 18W QC 3.0 USB-A charger.
The Zendure 63W USB-C PD Charger was the second project I backed on Indiegogo. I pledged US$35 in December 2017, expecting an April 2018 delivery, but, as crowdfunding goes, it was delayed and only reached me that September.
The Belkin SurgeCube 1 Outlet Surge Protector with two shared 2.4A USB ports retails for S$59, discounted to S$39 at IT Show 2018. I'd wanted a UK plug adapter with USB charging and built-in surge protection.
After the Kickstarter success of the Flip British Plug, OneAdaptr announced the Flip World range in November 2017, spanning four products from the Duo to the Power World. Pre-orders got 30% off with the code WorldIn18.
The Innergie PowerJoy 30C, unveiled at Computex 2017, is Innergie's first USB-C wall charger, retailing for US$44. It features SmartBoost for up to 35% faster charging and InnerShield power protection, and ships with three interchangeable travel plugs.
