AeroWB said:(If you really can't tell, this last part is ironic)It's also unnecessary. I really wanted to up-vote your well-written and logical post, but then you had to add that. AeroWB said:As an electrical engineer this article really makes me cringe. Not because there is a lot wrong with the tests done, and also not the low technical depth. No, the contents are fine but the constant use of the horrible words wattage and amperage are offending and make my brain hurt. Now unfortunately these words have been misused so much that they have become part of the normal vocabulary, that's how languages work. However anyone who knows the proper words would never use those. So I hope you will use the proper words next time, they are power (or rated power) instead of wattage and current instead of amperage.

Get ready for heat: If you're running anywhere close to the rated wattage (or above), expect your USB-C laptop charger to feel toasty to the touch. In our tests, after 20 minutes of running at one watt below their rating (ex: 64 watts on a 65-watt charger), temperatures ranged from 119 degrees Fahrenheit (48.3 Celsius) to 154 degrees (67.8 Celsius). That's unpleasant, but not dangerous. You can get a cooler skin temperature by purchasing a higher capacity charger than you need and running it at less than its maximum.Bring your own USB-C cable: Most USB-C laptop chargers come in wall wart style, with a single chassis and prongs that fold inward for compact storage. However, they usually don’t come with cables, so you’ll need to buy a USB-C to USB-C cable of appropriate length, usually at least six feet, if you don’t already have one. Charger shut down before 20 minute stability / heat test could complete at that wattage. Finding Discounts on the Best USB-C Laptop Chargers Anker's PowerPort Atom III Slim is a fantastic charging solution, but it is far from perfect. You need to plug it into a power cord and then glue it to your desk to make sure it stays put. Get the UGREEN 65W GaN Charger instead if that's too much work for you. You'll get your coveted four ports for charging multiple devices at once, minus the hassle. It supports plenty of protocols including PPS, PD3.0/PD2.0, QC4+/QC4.0/Qc3.0/QC2.0, AFC, FCP/sCP/sFCP, PE2.0/PE1.1, and BC1.2.

60W 2-Port USB C Charger, PowerPort Atom PD 2 [GAN Tech] Compact Anker 60W 2-Port USB C Charger, PowerPort Atom PD 2 [GAN Tech]

While most modern-day mobile devices charge over USB-C, there are still many gadgets, including budget Android tablets and Raspberry Pis older than the Pi 4, that utilize micro USB. Though you can buy a USB-C to micro USB adapter, many of us have drawers full of USB-A to micro USB or USB-A to USB-C cables. So it can be pretty useful to have a USB-C Laptop Charger like the RAVPower Pioneer RP-PC133, which has a secondary Type-A port. We found that some chargers, specifically all three RAVPower chargers we tested, could not sustain their highest possible wattages and, after less than 20 minutes, would shut down. We conducted a second series of heat tests with each charger at one watt below its maximum rated wattage (ex: 59 watts on a 60-watt charger) and recorded the temperature there as well. As an electrical engineer this article really makes me cringe. Not because there is a lot wrong with the tests done, and also not the low technical depth. No, the contents are fine but the constant use of the horrible words wattage and amperage are offending and make my brain hurt. Now unfortunately these words have been misused so much that they have become part of the normal vocabulary, that's how languages work. However anyone who knows the proper words would never use those. So I hope you will use the proper words next time, they are power (or rated power) instead of wattage and current instead of amperage. RAVPower Pioneer 61W (RP-PC112 ): This 61-watt charger isn’t as small as the Aukey Omnia PA-B2, but it gets significantly warmer after 20 minutes running at 59 watts. It can hit a full 69.48 watts for a time, but it can’t sustain that wattage and will shut down before 20 minutes have passed.If you can't choose between the many one or two-port options we've listed and the pricey four-port Anker PowerPort III Slim charger, Baseus has a solution. This 65W wall charger sits comfortably in the middle with three ports, two of which are USB Type-C and the third is USB Type-A. It supports various propriety fast charging technology from Apple, Huawei, and Samsung along with PD 3.0 and QC 3.0 support. The PowerPort Atom III Slim carries the Anker name with pride. You get a quality product made of gallium nitride instead of silicon, resulting in a compact but sturdy build that you can rely on. There are two USB C ports with PowerIQ 3.0 and PPS support and two USB A ports. The USB C ports support 18W and 45W charging speeds, adding up to 63W, so you can fast charge your phone as well as your laptop and tablet. We love the sheer number of ports on it because that's what makes it a perfect home office charging station. Multi-port USB-C chargers that will charge a single device at 60W are finally getting more common, but single-port chargers are still your best bet if you need to ensure that you're getting that top speed. After all, if a charger has a total output of 65W and two devices are plugged in, they have to share it. The iSmart 61W GaN Charger from iSmart (formerly known as RAVPower) is my favorite 60W wall charger because it's under 2 inches in every dimension, is well-priced, and gets regular sales. It's a brand I absolutely trust to charge my laptop. Really, what more could you need in a charger?
