Amazon Basics30W One-Port GaN USB-C Wall Charger with Power Delivery PD for Tablets & Phones (iPhone 16/15/14/13/12/11/X, iPad, Samsung, and More), Non-PPS, Black

We use the Tripp-Lite version(model U280-W04-100C2G) at work. When I found this identical charger under Amazon Basics, I compared specs and found it is the same unit at a better price. The Tripp-Lite handles all my charging at work, which gave me the confidence to try this one. At home, the Amazon Basics 100W four port charger is used to charge all our devices including our MacBooks, an iPad Pro, iPhones and other devices - sometimes all four ports are in use. It has made all my older chargers obsolete.USB PD (Power Delivery) is a game changer; be sure to read up about it (see below.) This charger follows the USB PD Rev. 2.0 source profiles for USB-C. It does not do PPS (Programmable Power Supply) charging under USB PD Rev. 3 and up; it is a new protocol that not many devices use, at least not yet.Both chargers display several agency markings including FCC and UL. The UL certification for this charger is listed under E472287 for model B087MDYP24 as found online. Beware of using electrical appliances that are not UL listed, there's a lot of them out there. Keep in mind that claiming 'conforms to UL standards' doesn't count; that means it hasn't passed UL safety standards.So far, this one is a winner. No problems after several months of use, UL listed, compact size, powerful, multiple ports and a decent price. I recommend getting the 100W four port version because it works for many charging needs. I'll add updates with use.Some troubleshooting tips:• I've never had a problem with this coming loose from an electrical outlet. If this doesn't stay plugged in to your outlet, the problem might be with the outlet. Loose electrical outlets are a fire hazard!• USB-C Power Delivery is variable:- The device being charged negotiates what voltage and current the charger is to deliver. If the device is not capable of this negotiation, the charger will default to the older USB-A power standard.- Not all devices will be able to use the full 100W capacity of this charger. Our MacBooks can; our iPhones, iPads, and others like our portable power banks can not.- The power delivered depends on the connecting cable. Low quality cables can charge but not at the higher power this charger is capable of. For best results use a good quality cable.- The more a battery charges up, the less power it will draw. If you want to see a charger's best performance, start with a battery with a low state of charge.- Some devices such as my Apple Watch will draw less power during charging when the display is active. Once the display turns off, the charge rate increases. Go figure.UpdatesMarch 9, 2023: 9 months along and no problems to report with this wall charger. It charges all our devices even with all four ports in use. We're now using it with a MacBook Air M1 & iPad Pro - both get charged quickly with no overheating. This still gets a strong recommendation.June 25, 2023: One year of use and this is my go-to charger. I still rate it five stars and I don't give out five stars easily.September 11, 2024: Two years along and this is still my go-to charger. It works great with our new MacBook Air M3 with the MagSafe 3 charging cable, charging at 100W as reported under System Information. It's an even better deal now that Amazon has reduced the price. Still recommended. :)I hope you find this helpful.

I purchased the Amazon Basics 100W Four-Port GaN Wall Charger to charge my Surface Pro, as my previous chargers just weren't up to the task. I’ve had issues with other chargers not providing enough power or failing to charge my device properly, but this one has been a game-changer.The 100W power delivery is more than sufficient to charge my Surface Pro quickly and efficiently. I was initially concerned because I’ve had trouble finding chargers that can handle the power needs of my Surface, but this one works flawlessly. It provides a steady and reliable charge, even when I'm using my laptop while it's plugged in, which was a huge issue with my previous chargers.One of the features I love most about this charger is the multiple port options. It has 2 USB-C ports (100W and 18W) and 2 USB-A ports (12W), so I can charge several devices at once—whether it's my Surface Pro, phone, tablet, or other accessories. The USB-C ports are especially helpful for my other devices, and the 18W USB-A port is perfect for my phone. This flexibility makes it a perfect charging hub for my desk or when I'm traveling, eliminating the need to carry multiple chargers.The GaN technology is a big plus here. It allows the charger to be compact and efficient while still delivering all the power I need. Despite having four ports, the charger remains relatively small, making it easy to carry in a bag or travel with. It doesn’t overheat, and it charges my devices quickly without any issues.Another thing to note is the build quality—the charger feels solid and well-built, and the cables fit securely into the ports without feeling loose. I appreciate that it’s from Amazon Basics, as I’ve always found their products to be reliable and well-priced, and this charger is no exception.Overall, I am extremely happy with the Amazon Basics 100W Four-Port GaN Wall Charger. It charges my Surface Pro and multiple other devices effortlessly, and the ability to use several ports at once is incredibly convenient. If you’re looking for a reliable, fast, and multi-functional charger that can handle a variety of devices, I highly recommend this one. It’s definitely a must-have for anyone with multiple gadgets!

Seems like a good USB C power supply, it is compact enough to carry easily and it actually supplies 65 watts. It powers my Asus ROG Ally just like the original power supply. My Ally will run in the 30 watt mode plugged into this. It also works with my 45 watt Lenovo laptop. The power supply gets warm while in use, but not excessively hot. The only issue I had was finding a cable that was capable of delivering enough power. The only thing that I had that would deliver full power to the Ally was a very heavy thunderbolt cable rated for 5 amps, so keep in mind that you will probably have to buy a cable that can actually deliver 65 watts to your device. I got it on sale for about $11, so I'm very pleased with it, if it dies quickly or anything like that I will update this review.Update: The orignal charger that came with my Ally died on me so I bought another one of these amazon ones, they seems like solid chargers that fully power the Ally and charge it even when it is running on the 30 watt mode and running a demanding game. The charger getts hot when putting out the full wattage, but hopfully it was built for that, no problems with them so far.

Reliable and compact charger that delivers solid performance. The 65W power output is perfect for charging a range of devices, from laptops to smartphones, and the GaN technology ensures efficient, fast charging in a lightweight design. It’s well-built, portable, and works seamlessly with my devices, including my iPhone and laptop. However, the lack of PPS support might limit its compatibility with some newer fast-charging standards.
