The choice depends on the devices you use and the supported charging protocols. Choose a model that supports PD or QC for fast charging, and if possible, technology like GaN to keep it smaller and cooler. In this range you’ll find chargers up to 67W with GaN, and simpler models like 20W or 15W—some include a Type-C cable and some may not. Also check the plug type and whether the charger offers USB-C and USB-A ports based on your needs.

Protocols determine charging speed and safety. PD and PPS allow higher power and smarter negotiation with devices, while QC3.0 is an older standard but works with many phones. Some chargers support multiple protocols (PD, PPS, QC3.0, FCP, AFC), making them compatible with a wide range of devices and laptops. Choose a model that clearly lists PD or PPS for modern devices.

For daily use with a smartphone and tablet, a 20W or 15W PD charger may be enough, especially if it’s compact and comes with a cable. For mobile professionals who also charge a laptop, choose models up to 65W or higher with a USB-C port, and possibly a USB-A port for a second device. Some options include a Type-C cable, which makes it easier to start using right away without buying extra accessories.

Use certified USB-C PD cables that are compatible with the charger to avoid overloads and malfunctions. Keep the charger in a well-ventilated place and avoid repeated overheating from excessive charging. Most models feature a fire-resistant shell and multi-system protection. Some also offer interchangeable UK/US/EU plugs so you can travel without compromising safety.

Depending on the model, the cable may be included or sold separately. Some chargers mention they come with a Type-C to Type-C cable for immediate use, while others require you to purchase a compatible cable separately. Check the packaging or product listing: some models say “Type-C cable included,” others say “cable sold separately.”

Make sure the charger lists an output suitable for your devices—for example PD or PD+QC for compatible laptops or phones—and that it provides enough power (65W or 67W for laptops, 20W or 15W for smartphones). Also check the number of ports and plug types: a model with USB-C and USB-A can charge two devices at the same time, while a charger with a single USB-C port typically prioritizes speed for one device.
