Only recently found your channel. But I'm really enjoying the format you have and the way you go through differences of adapters cables etc. But one of the best things is that you also provide spreadsheets/tables of the data you collect which is great to look through after watching a video or when re-watching one. Keep up the good work, I hope you keep building your channel up and that you keep providing this quality content.
Yep, I have been working on how or what delivery method to use. I have a webpage but I am pretty bad about keeping it up to date. If the channel grows more and builds I will certainly put in more time and put effort into making data available.
Great review! I am definitely interested in the teardowns. I don't plan to buy new adapters now, just enjoy the thoroughness you provide, and am interested in the evaluations you make.
Thanks! I will get the teardown video in production.
These are so awesome. Would love to see a similar top-ranked power bank video for different use cases, as yours is the best I've found for individual reviews
Yeah, that is a goal for this year. I dipped my toes in the water last year so this year I need to get going on a bunch of these.
Chargers are less sexy than the things they charge and there are many options to consider. A few years ago this channel didn’t exist to shed light on how chargers work-thank you for going so in depth and continuing to stay up to date on fresh reviews and comparisons! The only way this could be better is when i check your website that it’s similar to RTings. One thing i don’t have the sense is true yet is how you weight variables and score each item.
Thanks! It is all a work in progress and I want to get some more information out about how the process works in time.
UA-cam recommended some of your videos and I can say your channel is great. I've watched about 20 videos from your channel, in spite about 30% of devices are not available here in Ukraine due to 220V~50Hz and some brands decided to skip EU for some models. Anyway, I got all the answers to questions I had, and it is strange there are not so many views. Also, you have good sense of humor. Wish you luck with your channel, you must get at least 10x views for most of your tests and reviews.
Thank you! Yeah, I am slowly building to some 50 Hz content. 10x is my goal for this year, no idea how I am going to do it, but that's the goal.
Good work as always 👍
Keep it up. . .
Love from Pakistan 💞
Thank you! I am amazed at the global reach.
Nice review! I bought my baseus for really good price so I'm not disappointed, but after great 100w desktop and campact(?) adapters my hope's was that 140w one would be chart topper too. BTW my had some coil whine too, but after some, noise went down significantly.
Interesting that the whine went away. The Baseus isn't bad at least. If you count all the clones as one adapter, it's 3rd. So, not bad.
Yes, please do a teardown. I would definitely be interested in the build quality, as that is usually my main concern about these.
Yeah, I got lots of feedback asking for the teardown so that will be out soon.
I have a Hyper 140W 3-port adapter that may also fall into the same basic design and specifications as the ones you tested. It is model HJG140, came with an extra long cable (~6 foot if I recall) and accepts those international plug adapters.
Yep, that is another clone. Same adapter.
Happy New Year ATOP!
Thanks!
Good vid, keep it up
Thanks, will do!
"A bunch of manufacturers produce 140W adapters using the same OEM". Your guesses are correct. Afaik idmix/shargeek/momax are using the same solution by XinSpower（新斯宝）, who was the first to mp a multi-port 140W charger.
Thanks! Yes, I was looking for this very answer!
Thanks. Bought Rocoren 140W adapter after your previous review. Looks like it has very good quality for ~47$ price and I see no difference in the charging speed of my Macbook pro in comparison with the standard apple 140w adapter (well, not tested the charging time precisely in mins, but...) and not too hot in the process.
Good to hear. Yeah, as it turns out that adapter is available in lots of brands... so clone city.
Great Video once again. Yes please make a teardown video.
Coming soon!
Great video.
Thanks!
@@AllThingsOnePlace Honestly sad that the included cables aren’t spec compliant much less certified since passive PD3.1 cables are limited to 0.8 metres (2.6ft)
Excellent video and information. Happy New Year.
Thanks and also happy new year!
Recently found your channel and love how in-depth you go. Was wondering if you have recommendations for adapters with UK plugs or websites or channels that test these.
The plan is to get into more of these as the channel grows. I don't know of anyone that goes as far as I do. I have started testing the adapters with multiple voltage in on 230/50 also. So, my latest video (Satechi 165W) I do both and it has a interchangeable cable so you can use it with a UK plug end easily.
Thanks for the video, one question i have, can you still let the cables plugged in with nothing attached to it, without messing the first usb c port output power ?
Or as soon as you plug the cables even without devices connected to it, the charger enter in sharing mode ?
So, as long as you aren't apple (or a wireless charger), you are good. Apple USB C lightning or magsafe cables force power delivery modes and cause the other ports to not have as much power. USB C-C cables do not do anything until the device is plugged in.
Ive just found this amazing channel! thanks for the work! Would it be possible to check the DC output quality, ripple, noise, etc.? Regards!
Yeah, I have thought about adding ripple (which bandwidth dependent is noise voltage), just have an AC coupled multi-meter always showing the value. I generally comment when the DC voltage is out of the USB tolerance otherwise I let it go. They are all compact switching power supplies so ripple and noise are generally on the higher side. Thanks for the suggestion. There are always improvements to be made.
@@AllThingsOnePlace thanks !
You need to do chapters man. Great work
I did for awhile. Then stopped. I’ve started again a bunch of videos back.
Are the safety listings different between those power adapters sold in North America and Europe? Got a Baseus 160W today and it doesn't state anything (just the CE marking? does that mean anything?) but thenI checked on their website and actually the logos and prints on the back are apparently different.
Edit: I meant if they are different in the way they print the logos or not, since I understand they would test the HW for certain safety listings but the logos are only printed for the corresponding market.
Yes, they are different. The standards may be essentially the same, but how they certified is different, in the US and Canada they require marking the product that it has been tested, and this is traceable in a database and a report is available stating what standard, etc. In the EU, there is a database but the certification is more self service. The CE or UKCA can indicate it went through some of that or not. It is surprisingly more loose yet also extremely strict, the rules are really hard to decipher. They do have IEC standards to the US's UL standards for all of this though and many products require testing still they just don't use the same labelling system.
I suggest measuring the output ripple and switching noise under different loads. Thanks
Yes, that is a next step and it has been on the list for a while. I can measure it obviously but I want to make it a bit more video friendly.
The Baseus 140w adapter appears to split 100w + 30w on both USB-C ports as advertised.
The OEM clones sometimes do not advertise this clearly or in some cases incorrectly (claiming 35w or 30w, when it is actually 20w.) Not a huge difference, but buyer beware.
Thanks for the information, I agree, I really wish there was a more common and easy way to present the operating modes. I like the visual charts but it is still vague.
Thank you for this video👍
Too bad baseus doesn't do too well over their 100w version. I usually just use Anker but I have a Baseus 100w coming so I can compare real world differences if any. I wouldn'e mind the 150w Anker but just waiting for a sale. Going to try the Anker 120 first as it's currently $40 cheaper but still not as well priced as the Baseus 100w.
Thanks again and keep it up
Thanks for watching! Yeah, I was hopeful for the 140w. I think for any of these adapters catching a sale is required.
Best channel
Thanks!
Hi, Is the IDMIX 140W autovolt right? Its a travel adaptor? Its says its only 110 volts on amazon. Thanks
I just verified this does have auto-volt, labeled as 100-240V.
What's going on with 12v on the PD 3.1 devices? Many don't seem to support 12v.
Yeah, well the biggest charger maker, Anker, skips 12V so follow suit.
Thanks!
Great Videos man, keep it up!
bought the baseus 140w and the baseus desktop charger100w together for 66$
btw, are you going to review the baseus 140w powerbank?
Yeah, that one will make it on here at some point.
Hello, I recently purchased the Baseus 140w for a trip I am going to make to Japan (100V), but I didn't realise it was rated for 110-240V. Do you think it will be a problem? Other Baseus power adapters (such as the 100W model) are rated for 100-240V so I am not sure.
Yeah, so the basic thing that happens is as you decrease the voltage the input current increases. The Baseus adapters are power factor corrected so you can use ohms law to calculate the change. It is basically going to use an extra 0.1 amp of current to run on 100V versus 110V, it should tolerate this extra current without any issue. If you want to insure it doesn't get overloaded only use it up to 100 watts.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Thanks a lot!
Hi everyone. Are there any PD 3.1 chargers / power supplies that support the 48v option? I searched but can't seem to find one.
I have not seen one yet.
I bought a HyperJuice 140W version that’s the same as the eho. Charged an Apple laptop and then an Anker PD 3.1 bank. Came back to use it later and it wouldn’t work on any port. Returned it and the replacement did the same! Any idea what might be happening?
Yeah, I never purchased any HyperJuice things, but that was the only product from them I was like this should work okay... Yeah, that shouldn't be broken after so little use, that doesn't make any sense. I doubt it is a cable issue, but I always say check the cable as process of elimination. It sounds like some kind of protection is kicking in and not resetting but all conjecture since I am not there experiencing the problem. Unfortunately, I'd say get another one and try again.
Good info about limited PPS range for the Baseus, I've personally confirmed this with ASUS ROG Phone 5 that has a 65W PPS charger included, but it will not charge faster than 25W with the Baseus. Not an issue for me as it's not my primary phone anymore, but still a point indeed worth mentioning.
Yeah, it's pretty mixed on PPS modes and compatibility.
@AllThingsOnePlace it seems to be fine with laptops to an extent, old Latitude 5490 can draw up to its 65W maximum from C1, but when connected to C2, low power adapter warning from UEFI appears. I've gotten it for basically nothing as I had to dump my company loyalty points into something due to a job change, so as you said... I got the one that was on sale, basically ;) at least it doesn't have problem with low power charging on C ports
furthermore, I tested the Dell laptop that comes with the 130W USB-C terminated power supply, and with charging+light load the laptop was drawing up to 90W over the 100W cable.
Have you tested much the video option or capability for these newer USBC cables?
I've been seeing that any USBC cable providing >100W doesn't provide any further capability that a USB2.0 device can do. Perhaps these PD3.1 cables replace some of the data transfer lines in order to achieve the power performance.
I haven't tested video capabilities. I will state if cables claim that capability though. They wouldn't replace anything, the only difference between the EPR and standard E-Mark cable is the chip. The wire gauge is exactly the same since the current is exactly the same, they achieve more power with more voltage, so, a cable that can carry video can still carry video, the wires aren't used, if present. But yeah, I just test for basic continuity to see if it has actual wires for the video lines, the testers for actual video are $15k starting.
Hi Thank you for video!
I have question, I am thinking using Shargeek 140W adapter for Macpro 16 M1, What is you opinion about it? Is it safe or will it affect my laptop component ?
Hi, answered on another thread. But basically, I haven't looked at it. I'd look for the safety listing as a first pass.
I think I like the idimix the best in this video but I usually like to stick with proper brands like baseus
Yeah, it is amazing how many brands have popped up in the last two years but apparently many don't design anything they just rebadge.
Can someone tell me how is called the charging protocol for samsung s23 ultra? SFC? PPS? I've looked on aliexpress and many chargers supports pps but not samsung 45w fast charging and I don't know why.
You specifically have to have 11V and 4 amps of current available in the PPS mode to get to the approximately 45 watts for the fastest Samsung charging speed. You also need an e marked cable (100W+) rated.
Hi. I have 2 honor phone that charges using super charge protocol 66watt.
Can you recommend any Gan/PD charger that can support Scp 66watt x2 at one go?
Per the specs "The charger is compatible with quick charging protocols such as SCP and QC2.0, some devices with non-strandard QC2.0 Protocol cannot be quick charged. The charger supports 5V 2A (10 W), 9V2A(18 W), 10V2.25A(22.5 W), 10V4A(40 W) and 11V6A Max(66 W)." I don't know of any charger that can deliver that much power on USB A ports, two at a time. It is already a non-standard implementation of QC requiring a 6 amp cable. Also, the amount of time spent in this charging mode is going to be very small for a phone so diminishing returns.
Is it possible to charge a MacBook Pro 16” at 140w using a USB-C to USB-C cable with any (or all) of these? I know you can do it with a USB-C to MagSafe, but wanted to understand if you can do it with solely using a USB-C cable.
You do have to use the MagSafe cable to get 140w from the MacBook.
Any idea why Anker 747 doesn't work with the Nintendo Switch Dock? It's weird because it support 15W/3A. I've seen conflicting reports about the Nanno II as well. Also I've read the UGREEN 140W gets very hot and might even throttle. Looking for a single brick that can work with both my M1 MacBook Pro 16" and a docked Nintendo Switch (and phone/airpods/etc). UGREEN seems the closest, but the heat issues concern me. I could probably use the Apple 140W since it supports PD 3.1, but I'm looking for something to replace it in my bag with at least 2 ports.
You can go jumbo. The 200W satechi has the tricks, it's worse than the 165W in terms of performance though. The Apple only does 140W with a Magsafe cable also. So, if you want to go all USB C, and 100W is enough, then the Satechi 165W might be worth a look. I take it with me but I'm used to hauling large things around so any of these power adapters fit into the it's negligible in size category. But yeah no idea if those have issues with Nintendo or for that matter Steam Deck, both are somewhat not fully compatible with USB PD so they require manufacturers to have a special case to deal with those devices. Anker has done updates to the products to add compatibility but ultimately Nintendo and Steam should try to make a product that is broadly compatible.
what do you think about the EHO 140w but the one with 3 usb C ports, this its kind of different cause it would be the most versatile cause two usbc ports split 65w on each, but the 3th port will always output 33w, so you can charge a laptop with 100w and a phone with 33w, but if you need to charge 2 high power devices like two laptops you can do it with 65+65, i think this one is kind of different cause is not the same configuration as other brands with essentially the same product with other brand although is a bit heavier 310g, this one is rn at $50, the idmix is at $50 and the cable is a plus but no 65+65 support and some people had complain about the product being bricked after some months, and the usbA port only outputs 20w when a port is in use, the ugreen is at $70 with a cable it has 65+65 but also only 22.5w in usbA so a bit pricier, baseus is at 60 also with a cable but no 65+65 but usbA do 30w so i dont know which one to buy cause i do have a laptop that can use 135w usb pd charging, and mi phone charges at 30w thats why i asked about the EHO cause i could still charge my laptop at good speed but also charging my phone at full speed while having the 65+65 just in case of having high power devices in the future that may use this feature.
Yeah, that actually doesn't sound like a bad deal. You get better power distribution which in a lot of ways makes more sense than having one 140W port which almost no devices can use anyway. Plenty of 100W supporting devices out there. I may eventually have to check that one out.
Hey guys. I have legion 5 and i am looking for travel charger. Which one should i get of I want to use it primarily for notebook charging and occasional phone or nintendo switch charge??
If you aren’t charging more than one device at once then almost anything will be good as long as it has the power for the laptop. I didn’t look up that specific laptop but check if it is capable of charging within the USB PD specification.
If it has USB-C charging - I recommend that Baseus 140W. I own one myself and it's treated my devices very well.
Thank you so much for sharing this marvelous video! May I ask, why you didn't added the Anker 747 in this comparison? Is that somehow too expensive or not qualified enough when compared with the others? Thank you!
In this case it is specifically 140w on one port capable adapters. The 747 can only do 100 watts on one port so it’s really a different class of device. Also, only so many I can compare too reasonably in each video.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Thank you so much for the explaination. May I ask, do you think these adapter can work safely with voltage adapters (the passive basic ones)? For example I bought something in United States than go back to Europe.
@@goreybeydagi Yes, that should work fine for these adapters.
I have the Baseus 140w charger EU plug version and I haven't encountered the noise you have. Maybe I'll have to double check it.
That's great if it doesn't make the noise. I winder if it is a different power level with 230V on the input. I can test that.
Between baseus and ugreen,which one do recommend? I only found these to in my place
I think I replied to this an another thread? But I'd say it is down to cost between those two.
This Charger have a coil whine? Does work quietly? Pls anwser. Thanks.
I don't remember usually if I get some substantial coil whine I mention it in the video.
How is the rocoren 140w stacks up against these 140w charger? Are you still recommending it? I can get it with really good price here. Thanks in advance.
Yeah, it is still a good charger. It's the same really as the idmix, et most of them.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Awesome👍
Hey great channel Dr. Juice, any chance you could throw some fasgear cables in the cable comparison mix. Dollarama Tech1 cables also...#1
Thanks for the suggestion! I need to get another USB cable video out, then probably another one, so many cables...
how does the anker 150w adapter fare in the mix? :)
If you don't need the 140W single port, it is a strong contender, its near the best for power performance.
hi i want to know if baseus is a good choise and safe to charge pc phone watch and earbuds (its only one available in my country)
Baseus is a new brand, they certainly have some quality control issues. From what I have seen though they have been safe and functional adapters.
@@AllThingsOnePlace i have 65 w ga5 baseus my quetions is charger adpte or regulate the power for small devices like earbuds
@@fennouneanas8774 Yes, it will be fine for charging smaller devices as well. The device decides how much power to draw not the power adapter.
I’m interested in how the high-wattage performance compares when connected to 240V mains.
I also started doing this in newer videos. So, the Satechi 165W, for example, has both data sets in the video. I can't do the whole backlog but here and there I will fill in some of these with 230V/50Hz.
All devices r international compatible works on inputs 110-220 volts?
Today most all devices are. Occasionally, one won’t be.
Missed a big factor. The baseus A port puts out 60w, the others only 30 I. Single mode
Yes, I tend to gloss over the Qualcomm modes for USB A as even Qualcomm is compatible with power delivery for the latest versions of quick charge. But there are still a bunch of devices that use that technology out there so worth mentioning.
I’m seeing new 2023 USB mains chargers mainly USB-C device (phone, iPad etc) chargers with Green ports, Orange ports, Teal ports, Pink ports, White ports, even Blue ports, plus Black ports. So what’s the difference in these colours related to chargers, does anybody know?
No idea, I think they just pick any color these days for looks.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Maybe. I did find some information for a few charger port colours, which can be different to computer ports. But there are so many different colours plus they mix and match so who knows!??? Apparently Orange is high current and the better newer chargers seem to be orange which is on the Baseus 100w Desktop Charger, which you tested. So just bought that.
Any plans to review Aukey PA-B70 140W? I want to see it's size comparison with the others.
Yeah, I guess I have to, I think I've done every other 140W charger on the market (or at least a clone of them). This one does look physically different at least.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Great gonna stay tuned for that.
Any suggestion on 140w adapter from Ugreen or Belkin?
I don't think I looked at the Belkin yet. The UGREEN was okay. I'd probably pick one of the other cheap clones, like the rocoren or the idmix, etc, when on sale.
Hi,
Are you planning to review the Satechi 165w? It’s a 4 port usb-c charger with 100w max delivery per port. Mainly useful for people with Apple devices only.
Yes, I am. I have it but haven't had the time to get it on the test stand yet.
Satechi 165W and Anker747 are the picks for me IMO.
Open them up ! Will gladly see what inside of them
Okay, will do.
Hello, is it possible to test the VOLTME 140w charger?
The plan is to skip that one, since it is another of these same chargers along with hyper and shargeek.
140 w Ugreen or 140 w baseus? Which one is better? Only these two are available in my country
I am honestly torn on that one. I think it’s going to be down to price.
@@AllThingsOnePlace beseus is like 8$ pricier than ugreen...so ugreen is the choice then
Can I safely use the same high power adapter to charge all my many gadgets from phones, tablets up to laptops?
How can you tell they are safe to use? I'd like to travel with just one adapter.
Yes, you can do that. The device decides how much power to use. There are some devices with apps to limit the power into the device as well. The power station I tested for example can be told to charge slower. I charge my phone from the 165W Satechi adapter, it only uses the watts it needs though, it doesn't force watts into the device.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Excellent!
Common theme among Baseus chargers/power banks great form factor but really unpredictable in terms of providing for multiple devices
I don't know I use all four ports on my Baseus 100W and everything is always charged, it is heavily device dependent but it shouldn't be. I think the USB PD compatibility is getting better with each generation. Baseus is more known for quality control issues.
Tenho um turbo aqui é do camelo mais é fenomenal carrega em 1 HR, só que depois do raio queimou tudo aqui em casa tv receptor roteador tive que trocar o cabo peguei um de 2 metros agora carregar 1 HR e 20 não sei quantos wats mais acho que é 18
The translate may not have gotten much correct on this one, but it sounds like it didn't survive lightning, I wouldn't expect much of anything to survive something like that. Scary stuff.
I have a baseus 140W and I always use it as a 100W+30W. I use the first C port and the A port, I never use the second C port.
I hate the adapters that split the power equaly (for example 60+60+20).
I use the 100W for my laptop, and when i want to charge my phone i dont want a 60+60 split.
I also hate high power adapters with only 1 usb c port.
What if i want to charge my random little usb c things that neds 5V 1A or les but doesn't turn on the 5V of the usb c port correctly??
I know this should never hapen, and that it's because the device isn't doing things correcty, but i have a bunch of devices that do this.
Imagine the scenario where i have a 140w charger with only 1 c port and i can't charge my usb c flashligth. This would make me carry 2 chargers everywhere.
Now imagine that instead of a 1 C port 140W charger, Anker made a 150W charger that has 1C port (140W) and 1 A port (10W).
The size of the charger would be almost the same and it wouldn't need any power negotiation, not interrupting the output of the 140W when I conect something on the A port.
This charger would be much better for me, if i am charging my future laptop with 140W I stil can conect my phone at 10W, Slow charging is better than having to disconect my laptop.
Thank you for your videos, I really like them.
Yeah, that is a good point. A 5V low power port is a great addition to any adapter if you ask me!
it is good for multiple devices i mean to charge phone watch earbuds pc
Hi planning to buy the Rocoren 140w, any thoughts on its thermal performance against other 140w chargers shown here? Thanks
It is the same device as the idmix, etc. The Baseus is probably a little better because of the larger case. The Anker is actually more efficient at the high output power so it is the coolest of the bunch under heavy load. The Rocoren (et all) will get toasty under full load for sure). I should do a detailed thermal study of these things, it would take weeks to do one power adapter (which weeks of part time YT is months of real time).
Hopefully none of those are prone to sparking over time, my 3x c and 1x a usb chargers doing that :(
Yeah, none of these should be sparking unless on initial plug in on AC side (inrush sometimes will spark on plug in with any adapter if you hit near peak voltage sine wave on plug in).
Anker 747 hands down the best for me
Yeah, I have heard that from a couple people and that is a solid option.
If the plug was AU, would be great for me. Can balance 150W over 3 ports, great foe power bank, laptop and super fast phone. Not keen on 100w for one and 30w for remaining.
what about the ugreen 140w one?
It isn't bad, it lacks the US safety listing so that puts it off my list as a first choice. But yeah, it isn't a bad option either, I know UGREEN does actually make a quality product but they don't get the official listing sometimes.
Warning for anyone thinking about the idmix 140w adapter, it broke on me pretty soon after purchase, i think it only lasted about 4 months, primarily i used it for travel to charge my gaming laptop at 100w and sometimes my phone at the same time but mostly at 100w or below. Travelling i used it only in the uk its possible bad circuitry on a train fried it or something (im no electrical engineer so idk) but it didnt give me faith in its reliability or quality long term. Worked great before it broke though is the thing im most mad about.
Also, since i couldnt get a refund on it if anyone wants to do a teardown of a broken adapter like mine and see what went wrong id potentially be happy to post it somewhere depending on the cost.
Thanks for the update. It’s the number one thing I worry about with all these adapters. How long is it going to last…
Scosche Industries just announced some new GaN adapters at CES that look a bit different.
Yeah, the charge stand type things look interesting. The other stuff seems pretty normal accessory wise. I have some of their adapters to review sometime soon.
Where can I get that device you showed on 4:54?
Hmm, I show the Baseus Blade and a bluetooth speaker around that time mark?

I've had it for a while. I've been collecting car chargers slowly for a while to review. Maybe February for the next round of those. Or maybe a dedicated video for the 160W since it is fairly unique.
When are 240W USB PD adapters coming out?
That is the question.
Thanks! Are you sure Voltme 140w is also a clone? It seems its pricing is higher than those and also it uses gan III with QC5. Im super qurious about Voltme
Yeah, it is a clone, the individual companies may customize which protocols the devices have.
@@AllThingsOnePlace thanks, why voltme then is pricey. Still seems its more reasonable buy over ugreen 140? Thanks
Hi, maybe you couldn't make a review of Voltme 140w adapter, I heard that it is a very decent contender.
It’s the same adapter as Idmix, etc. they’re almost all the same adapter.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Hm, interesting. 🤔
Maybe it is possible to somehow reflash Rocoren, so it will change two laptops at the same time. Because Voltme claim to provide 65w-65w
@@jokoliu1080 It would be nice, but these aren't easy to open so once you get inside, they're basically trashed if you open them. I think the variations on this adapter is where some customization comes into play. The selling manufacturer probably gest to choose a little bit of the final configuration of the device. I haven't tried pulling 65-65 but some of these might do that. In terms of efficiency and performance though, they're all the same.
Rocoren 140w is still better these chargers, i have used it one month, recommend this charger
Yep. It is amazing how many there are that are actually the same charger.
I am buying a 100W 4-port (3C, 1A) charger and was wondering, how can you tell if a charger has a feature that "dynamically adjusts power"?
EHO and MINIX reportedly both have an issue where C1 output drops from 100 to 65W when C2 has a cable attached to it with no connected device. So I gather this means the charger doesn't measure the individual port's current.
I assume reputable brands like Anker would have this feature but unfortunately they're out of my price range. So I'm looking at ones from TECKNET and IDMIX, but not sure if either of these are lacking the same feature as EHO and MINIX.
None of them do, they all renegotiate on plug and unplug or the newer stuff renegotiates as soon as you try to use power. The only devices I have found that don't do that so far, some on a limited basis, are the SlimQ 150 and 240W adapters, and the UGREEN and Wotobeus 200W (only with two ports, after that renegotiation happens) adapters. None of them really get recommendations as the device of choice. They are always getting better but there is no perfect device for this yet. There are a few chargers I haven't looked at that have lots of 20W ports that are always on.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Thanks for explaining. Well I suppose I can live with unplugging all other cables when trying to use my gaming laptop at 100W.
So then, which one would you say is the most reliable out of UGREEN, EHO, MINIX, TECKNET, IDMIX these 5 brands? I'm looking for specifically x3 C port options with lightweight design and Anker, Baseus, and SlimQ sadly only seem to have x2 C ports at 100W range.
@@lars2894 If I had to pick out of those I would go with the IDMIX first, then the UGREEN. I wasn't too happy with MINIX at 100W and TECKNET I haven't looked at the bigger one yet.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Will do. Your channel has been incredibly helpful. Really appreciate it!
@@AllThingsOnePlace I've decided on UGREEN 4-port btw, the IDMIX apparently has severe durability issues with its AC prongs according to user reviews.
How about SHARGEEK 140W PD3.1?
Yeah, it is a clone. I think I identify it as such in this video.
What the difference between 3.1 and 3.0
PD 3.0 is the older version of the standard. PD 3.1 contains everything 3.0 contains but adds the charging modes these adapters use, the EPR, extended power range modes. There are several other changes, there is a change log on the USB IF page, it is a very long document though.
Do you know any charger that supports xiaomi?
Xiaomi ones. They use PD to some extent but I think have switched to the other charging protocols like QC which in the 5 variant is basically PD but not quite so incompatible enough to not work sometimes. The only QC 5 certified chargers (at least from QUALCOMM's list) I know of are the Baseus 100W multiport adapters with the USB A port.
where can buy it?
Nearly any retailer.
please do one with baseus 160w
I thought I did that one.
Baseus 140w or usams 140w?
Not sure. The Baseus isn't great. I haven't looked at the USAMS.
Without Ugreen???
I did test that one too. In a later video.
Let's see a teardown video please.
haha, yeah, I did a few mini-teardowns in other videos recently. Nearly everyone skipped that part so that discouraged me from putting effort into that. In time there will be more, how about how to say nothing, eh?. Charger lab does such a good job on teardowns versus my sloppy content maybe take a look over there?
No one wants to spend the money to engineer their own 140w adapter except Apple and Anker I guess
The Baseus is different too, for the worse in this case. But yeah, everything else I have found is the exact same adapter.
