Need a wall plug-in USB A & C charger that does 15 watts?

USB A & C charger - 6 amps @ 5 volts

I have three of them - one pretty much lives near the better half's Kindle and the other two are for charging phones and powerbanks. I have some USB-C cables with a power meter on one connector and my phone frequently hits 13 to 15 watts while charging - and it can charge two things at that level at the same time (not their ad, my testing). I doubt that it can manage the "65W" on the case, but 30 watts total charging at this price is good.

Current price is $4.41 - the US version is only available in a white case - but you get free shipping with a purchase of $10 or more. 3 of these would meet that limit and you could have chargers anywhere you want one ;-)

I was just there and it showed a price of 99 cents each.

Then they are doing a fire hose clearance and you might be lucky to get one.

A lot of Chinese small electronics is a one-shot production run of <whatever>. If you find something useful early enough, you can get some decent pieces of equipment. There was one specific PWM solar charge controller that Banggood sold for a while that actually worked well - the voltage sensing was accurate, the controller could be programmed easily and it simply worked. I still have a couple of those: one configured for AGM lead acid batteries and the other configured for flooded lead-acid batteries. I could put a battery of each type on charge (using a solar panel or an AC operated DC power supply) and then come back to it the next day and it would be properly charged. Not all the smarts of a good NOCO charger but the charge controller was configured for a specific type of battery - and they were under $10 at the time.

There's currently an ad for a "2000 watt" solar panel for about $140 - you know that a single panel that big would need its own trailer to move it and be far more than the advertised price and need special packaging for shipping - so I approach all the ad claims with a pinch (or pound) of salt.

I assumed the "65 watt" rating on that power supply was an optimistic number but if it did all the functions listed - basic USB power, QC, PD - then it was useful as we have a mish-mash of things to be charged and it would be good to have a multi-port charger (USB-A and USB-C) that could charge several things at once. My phone, the better half's phone and my Kindle use a USB-C connector and can all charge at up to 15 watts. That charger is happy with two of those devices on it so it can provide at least 30 watts - pretty good for the price ;-) I haven't yet had all 3 of those needing charge at the same time so I don't know if it can do 45 watts or more. While I do have equipment to monitor the charge process (USB-C to USB-C cable with a wattmeter built into one connector), I do not have a QC or PD dummy load to be able to load the charger to its maximum output. For my use, the "65 watt" charger is more than adequate and the price is right: at 99 cents, you can buy one for every room of the house ;-)
