The ‘Sharp’ that makes these chargers is a small clock company that used to be an authorized dealer for the old Sharp. Sharp hasn’t been the same “Sharp” entity in North America for a long time now and what’s left is just naming license deals. That’s why the Sharp logo is ever so slightly off from the one still used in Japan. This simple Nitrate error is probably reflective of the fact that it’s just a rebranded generic.
@@Peizxcvthen in that case it’s an upwards move for the brandname. I used to repair stuff for a living back in the 80’s. Sharp and others like were definitely not grade A things like the top tier Japanese makers of the time. It’s all changed now.
The FDA might have something to say about Sharp marketing that Gallium Nitrate cancer medication direct to consumers. Weird packaging for a pharmaceutical.
Would you consider measuring the thickness of the mains prongs? The longer chargers will probably fall out of the sockets rather easily. Someone should make a charger with a slow mode that gives you 500mA for a gentle, battery saving charge.
I don’t know if you would be interested in this idea but I would love to see a video about Smart bulbs. The safety listings, idle energy draw and heat dissipation.
I just had to get a Lenovo Legion C135 GaN USB-C PSU for powering a 150W Sequre S99 soldering iron. It’s only 135W but supposedly it works better with this iron than the Lenovo C145. I’d love to know why. Have you ever looked at a Lenovo GaN charger of any kind?
Hello. One piece of context that might help people understand differences is giving an annual operating cost for a charger to charge a phone. I think you already have the pieces to do the calc. Idle draw x 22 hrs. How many Wh it takes to charge a X Wh battery in a common phone (iphone/galaxy). Multiply by 15, 30, or 45c per kwh to show electricity rates in various states. Theres the operating cost. I know people can put this together - but i think thats the # you need in the video to drive home the effects of spending more on a more efficient charger.
yeah, electricity is cheap, I have done estimates before. One thing that's not mentioned is the total efficiency of charging. But yeah, it's complex enough that it should be it's own video, it would be nice if manufacturers provided the information on energy to charge the device in each mode.
I wonder how large the gap in efficiency between 230V 50Hz and 120V 60Hz is. The IKEA ones i got (sample size of 3) did a bit better on EU voltage vs US. Greetings for Germany, love your work
I'd be interested in seeing you test the high power Yoocas chargers. They're on amazon and are extremely high value. Their 65w charger is small and cost me $11
Hello @allthings - Would you have an idea / genuine suggestion for rapid charging Pixel 9 pro Xl ? While Google 45w original charger is good, we are looking gor alternate external options that can charge at same speeds with 0-70 percent in 30 mins ? Struggling to find anything aftermarket. Pls help
Have you seen the new Zeus 280W travel charger by ChargeAsap? It seems too good to be true (powerful, light and compact), it would really use your scrutiny.
My spider senses say stay far away from that device if you actually need watts. Anyway, I have the same model here, from another brand, of course they rated it at 300 watts... So, eventually, along with a bunch of other way over rated chargers.
Styling is trying to get a gamer vibe like certain rugged SSDs, the font is meant to be military spec 'no nonsense', but there's not much they could do to a power brick without making the case into a heatsink... which maybe could have been their styling move. Never mind!
These safety listings are what i didn't pay much attention to What does these markings on chargers, powerbank etc mean & which ones are more important to look out for? CE, FC, RoHS, Pse(circled), home icon, square inside square icon, IV(circled) etc Thanks
You want a rating that involves actual testing. FCC and RoHS aren’t safety related. I think the only ones that involve proper testing are ETL or UL. They also focus on electrical safety.
@gf2e Thanks for the enlightenment If i may ask, what's RoHS, CE & FC for since they mostly appear on most chargers, powerbanks, Bluetooth speakers, earbuds etc Thanks!
@@okpalaathanesius8939 FCC is the US Federal Communications Commission, which regulates RF emissions. It means the device has passed testing to show that it won’t interfere with radio signals. RoHS is an EU rule, reduction of hazardous substances. It includes things like lead free solder. CE is another EU marking. I don’t remember what it means. I am pretty sure that the last two markings are minimally enforced and have mostly self assessed compliance. I don’t assume that they mean anything. That’s off the top of my head. You’ll have to google for more details. :)
WOw should i say NOICE SHARP BRANDS? these thing doesnt even came to my country yet their quality beyond their english languange . i bet u hunt down these kinda things in their own values per quality . the question is can u have both ? what the answer
I'd really appreciate it if you reviewed Iniu's new tiny 100w 25ah battery bank. It's only been out for a couple weeks and it's only on their website. I think it's called P63-E1

The old Sharp in Japan isn’t the real Sharp either, just a division of Foxconn, the maker of cheap electronics

Thanks for doing these. It is informative and entertaining.
Nitrate lmaoooo

Intertek listed is nice
that thumbnail joke deserves a "ba dum tss!"
haha
Gallium Nitrate is fine, it's when the Ammonium gets involved that gets everyone hot and bothered.
Is it just me or is the label on the side upside down from label on the front?
1:49 I lost it. How did they manage to mess up this bad?

Can you make a video for the best travel charger (as light and as compact as possible)?
It isn't a constant and it really depends on how many watts you need.
What interface is that swappable mains adapter on the 140W?

So anker nano 2 65 watt charger is available for 25 dollars now and I am buying s24 ultra is it good?
AllThingOnePlace reviewing (shitting on their efficiency) power stations ("solar generators) when?
目の付け所がSHARP！
They are late to hit the market
Yeah.
60$? holy cheap adapter!
For that power level, relatively cheap.
WOw should i say NOICE
SHARP BRANDS? these thing doesnt even came to my country yet their quality beyond their english languange . i bet u hunt down these kinda things in their own values per quality .
the question is can u have both ? what the answer

Can you review the Rocoren 200w charger?
I will add it to the list.
Why have sharp suddenly jumped on the band wagon? The price better be good if they want to compete.
