This video made me find a great channel. I've powered through videos for hours now, and learned enough to make informed decisions. What I lack from the channel is some quick examples of use cases, like when would you actually need a 100w charger. You have shown that the electricity cost of an inefficient charger often doesn't amount to much for low power chargers, but it'd be nice if you gave rough estimates based on reasonable use cases, just as an example for why we should care.
I also bought it and after inserting the USBC plug, the front of the charger (USBC socket) is loose - you can move it back - front about a millimeter. It's normal? can you see yourself?@@AllThingsOnePlace
@@nnnnnn3647 I have had some chargers loose forwards to backwards in the casing. Obviously, it being loose is not preferable, but as long as the connector isn't loose side to side so the pins can break it is probably okay. May be able to get a replacement though if it's new and arrived that way.
I purchased one of the Amuzone 33W based on the recommendations here. I tried using it for the first time with my 2020 M1 MacBook Air as I thought this would be a good test. The MacBook Air came with a 30W Apple power brick. After about 20 mins into charging my MacBook Air I came over and felt the Amuzone brick and thought wow that is hot. I went and got my infrared thermo gun. That little Amuzone was hitting 127 degrees in certain areas. I went ahead and unplugged it and let it cool down. I then tried it with an iPad and that seemed to do fine and stayed at a more normal temperature range. I was kinda surprised how warm it got trying to charge my m1 MacBook Air. Love your channel.
127 degrees Fahrenheit is well within normal temperatures for these power adapters, they made the smaller and they still have to dissipate the same amount of heat so the result is higher surface temperatures. If it was 127 degrees Celsius then that's something wrong.
BTW, I have the EU/europlug version and it is slightly different, for instance it has QC 2.0. It is also a bit heavier ~ 44-45 g (makes sense, given the europlug).
I always love starting with one of your videos whenever I research what product will work best for me, they’re such a convenient wealth of knowledge in one place so thank you for all your hard work!
came across your channel at a reddit thread, searching for the best charger for newer ipad pro's. I've seen in a recent video your pick for these 30w is the google. Did I get this right? Or is there another one you would recommend?
Despite the PQS page saying the rate for the anker charger 30W is "E" does that mean is a hard pass or still can buy? cuz i think as a gift for a relative it should be fine tho, she won't use it any further than charging her iPhone 11 and a anker 30W powerbank. Great video as always!
Yeah, the scale is not lenient on low power devices. An E versus D rating basically comes down to how well filtered the power supply is from the mains and efficiency. So, I would search for 30w then sort by watts in. It looks like Google and Apple actually have the most efficient adapters for the category. Anker makes page 2 with the nano III still a reasonable number but the tiny size means less filtering which gets it an E.
Thanks for the video. I brought the Baseus GaN3 30W adapter, although it 30% cheaper than Anker in my country with almost same performance. However the plug is melt and bend after using it for less than 30 days (return/refund), probably I plug it on faulty extension wire with loose receptacle. I do brought a Baseus again with 100W multiport that you review, I do need multiport to charge powerbank, earbuds and another phone.
One caveat on the Baseus 30W, although it has a 12V mode, it is 2A (24W), not 2.5A (30W). So if like me, you're looking for the "ideal", tiny, one-port ~30W USB-C adapter that does it all (aside from being foldable), I'd give the crown to the INVZI.

If the temperature (heat) is a concern because I live in a humid and hot country, which is better anker 711 which is larger in size or the anker 511 which is smaller?
Humidity tends to not matter much for the Anker products, they are pretty well sealed (not water proof for obvious reasons) but tolerant of a lot. It really comes down to loading. If you are going to be using the adapter at its rated power capacity it will probably over heat in a warm environment or throttle it's output power. A way to combat this is to oversize the power output so the power supply has some head room. So, if you need to charge a 40 watt device, the 711 is a better choice. If you are only charging a phone that uses 18-20 watts to charge then either is good since neither will hit that maximum value.
There is a newer version of the Anker nano 30w charger with the Activeshield 3.0 technology Modelnumber A2337, have u reviewed it ? And is it better than the older nano 30w 511 ?! I'm confused which one to buy, there is no reviews on it.
Some time ago I came across probably the smallest charger(with a European plug) with USB C and PD - Unisynk USB-C Slim Wall Charger G3 36W. Unfortunately, I don't see that someone has tested it. I wonder how it would perform in your tests.
@@AllThingsOnePlace There may be a problem buying this charger outside Norway. I have written to the manufacturer and am waiting for a response regarding the purchase abroad.
From watching a bunch of your videos it sounds like there really is no reason that these devices (even 30W) should not include PFC, at first I was concerned about my next charging device having PFC. But I only need something like these small ones around 20-30W, so no PFC for me :( would there be any issues in usage or how it works? or is it mainly that it will essentially boil down to costing more money using it due to the low power factor values
Basically, cost and size. There are topologies that merge the components into a simpler circuit but for some reason only at really high power levels, think 2kW server power supplies. At low power levels the supplies are always separately controlled and switched sections on the circuit board. This has three consequences. One it takes up more space to add a whole separate power supply section, two it adds power consumption (heat) for that extra circuity, and three it is more expensive to add more stuff for no 'corporate' value. There is a point where it makes sense to have it, I haven't found a paper really covering this in detail yet though, I have found many papers that say it is bad, then proceed to talk about entirely different topics and never explain why or what the calculations are for any of it.
I am very confused which power adapter should I take for my iphone 15 pro max, I am looking for GaN 30 watt kindly can you please recommend me the best one to take
There are a lot of options, the UGREEN tested okay, the Insignia (not in this video was good), the Anker is very efficient. The Syncwire was surprisingly okay for a lesser known brand, no idea on longevity on that one.
Apple is very good at managing battery health. It may cause a minor change in battery health over time but just charging and discharging is still damaging to the battery at any speed. Apple tests these things and also the fast charging they offer isn't as fast as others. They manage charging speeds to be reasonable and in line with the battery capabilities. It will get warmer so the thought is it degrades the battery faster, but I haven't seen any actual published papers proving this. So, it is a risk, and it depends on how long you plan to keep the phone for. If you pick one with a USB A port the slow charging option can still be on the table.
i just bought a pixel 7. Anker nano iii 30w (23€ ) or google 30w (27,5€) ? i prefer the anker for the size, but if the google is better for the battery health, i will choose the google. Your opinion?
I fried 2x anker nano 2 45w chargers while charging a v mount battery while it is powering a LED light using a max draw of 80w. I am currently looking at this 30w charger due to its price/size and perhaps better overload protection. the v mount battery accepts 20v pd at a max of 45w, do u think this 30w charger will work for extended periods of 4-5 hrs at max load, abet at a slower rate? I frequently use a 60w led light at half power, sometimes remotely with a 14.8v/99wh battery. a 30w usb-c charger with a 15ft 60w rated cable+battery is a much lighter option compared to bringing & switching between battery/80w ac-dc brick+cable. a 30w top up should extend the run time at 50% from 2hrs to 5-6 hrs which is sufficient for my needs. do u also know of a reason y I shouldn't do this?
That’s a good use case for the compact adapters. I power all my lighting with a 200w USB adapter. Only about 60w of lights though so way under load so it can run full time no problem. Fact is these things aren’t made for full duty cycle. There is a reason the old bricks were big. They could supply the power 24/7. I’d actually recommend a 65+w supply so it isn’t being fully loaded. Even newer power supplies are big. I can’t remember if I showed it in a video, a 100 watt industrial supply is massive by comparison but it’ll supply 100 watts for years.
ohh I love the help! thank you thank you Now that I have 12v stuffs to plug into it, it really did just fall to 9v(measured). Which is . . all good ✊ since every single 12v item I was able to plug in _runs-just-fine_ off of the the 9v coming out of the anker 511. I'm glad
Yeah, I've only started the official measurements of that recently. I have gone back and measured 100 or so adapters. I will be posting that at some point.
I bought a Samsung EP-T4510, and I'm a little confused. It charges my tablet, phone, and power bank properly, but it can't charge my AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C. For me, it's really strange that I can't charge my headphones using this adapter. Is this a defective charger or a 'feature' of this charger?
That's odd, it should charge those devices just fine. I generally have found the apple devices charge on everything I've plugged them into. It's usually other companies that have issues working with an Apple charger instead. Interesting, I still wouldn't say it's broken but rather a unique adapter.
@@AllThingsOnePlace do you know is all anker products are MFi (Made for iPhone) certificated? I am in doubt about it because I saw some cables and chargers of Anker but I didn’t see any where the indication that them have this certificated
@@AllThingsOnePlace how about the Anker Nano II 30w and 45w? Are both of them good options for continuous use on Macbook air m1? Thank you so much for your response!
Im so confused, if i buy a 30 watt power brick, what type of usb c cable should i use to fast charge my phone and get the max charging power of the brick? 3A or the 5A?
You only need a 3 amp cable to charge from any 30 watt brick with the PD modes that are available. 11V*3A is 33W for the PPS mode, and at 5V or 9V they will only go to 3 amps, so 15W and 27W maximum respectively for the PD modes.
Yeah, 70 degrees C is hot, I don't doubt it either, it does depend on environment though, if it started at 30C then 40C rise is possible with long term use. I've seen 90+ on cases of these adapters when they go for smallness over all else. The goal is to get all the heat to the case too, less surface area equals hotter. Some of the safety standards would allow the case to get to 70C for a device that only gets touched short term.
I own the Anker 511 , it gets warmer than my Xiaomi 66w charging my Iphone 15, charges at same speed ( about 55% in 30minutes) why? also phone is warmer..
Assuming all you say is correct and exact, the two devices would have to be operating in different charging modes to behave differently on the phone end. The 511 I'd expect to get warm, it's tiny and would be near full load whereas the Xiaomi wouldn't be operating at full load so should be cooler. The phone itself may be turning on and off if the charging mode is faster with one of the devices versus the other, you wouldn't see any indication of this and both would average the same charging rate. Also, apple optimizes charges at different times of day and based on usage so it's probably not an entirely repeatable test.
So, you could test the new Baseus CCGAN140CE, 140W, multiport 2C+1A, it is not the cheapest, nor the most expensive in the category, but it promises 140W maximum load in a single USB C port, fast charging in the three ports, safe in 8 protection levels, trickling charge at near maximum charges, wide compatibility with notebooks, tablets and smartphones, the newest GaN5(merchandiding brand?) technology, but lacks a technical analysis, like yours, to reveal to the Apple, Sansumg, Hwaei, Xiaomi curious consumers the real characteristics of this new Baseus power charger , lets go!
I’m going to put a short out on it very soon. Won’t be as detailed but the full deal video which will be out in 3 weeks or so with a bunch of other PD 3.1 devices. I think I might have the most pd 3.1 devices of anyone, is that a problem or a good thing?
@@AllThingsOnePlace With each edition of new devices, new devices need more and more energy to satisfy their hunger for power and we begin to think it's normal to pay 60, 90 or more US dollars for power chargers..., However, with each edition the merchandising follows the increase in power and the costs involved with technology and production and we end up lost in false information about new devices and their cost/benefit, reliability and quality, that's the question(or report merchandising problem) about PD 3.1 devices and any new paraphernalia released on the market, after all notebooks, tablets and smartphones are expensive devices... and bring a cost to nature and the future of the Planet, thanks to your analysis we know more about power factor correction and its importance in products such as Koval, Aftertop, Rocoren, Anker, Ugreen, WotobeUs, Baseus, Apples and others, thanks for the reply!
I'll have to put down the protective cardboard shield like I did in the USB cables video so I don't burn my counter top. I don't think I have any of those but I'll have to check them out.
Well, they sell them at various places so added to the list. So many brands I've never heard of. It does look like this one customized the case at least so not just a rebadge. We will see if they are smaller than the Anker.
@@AllThingsOnePlace thanks! I ended up getting the 20w version. Was looking at the Google 30w but it's triple the price of the Anker nano 20w version. I noticed the THD for the Google 30w is 100%+ too...will this generally be a concern? I noticed in one of your videos you said that THD will not be anything of concern since the current for these chargers are so low.
@@vana8912 Yeah, it is less of a concern on smaller chargers since the 'grid' is so much larger the current being unusually shaped can be pretty easily absorbed. If you tried to plug in 10 of them, the story changes, but yeah one adapter in the 20-30W range isn't going to hurt anything.
These 30W chargers are perfect for the Apple Silicon based MacBooks. 30 watts is plenty to not only charge the laptop but typically also a phone plugged into the laptop itself.
Yeah, these will work fine for that device. These may be a bit over sized but the better efficiency may be worth it. They won't be unsafe for use though.
I use a ugreen model cd217 65watts. I dit look for small ones. But really 30watt you can not do laptop. A 45watt is really Price performance not that great . So i go for this model. I can charge al i need. From my phone to my laptop. And even the Original adapter of the laptop i set away . Its not a usb-c charge but the laptop have the function to charge by usb-c . So this small and more compact and only need one cabel with me.
Would you recommend the 30w google charger or samsung 45w charger? My phone accepts 30 watts max, but thought it could be useful if I want to charge my laptop, the price difference is only $10 in my country.
Hmm. That is probably a toss up. The Samsung charger is larger but either one has a pretty wide amount of charging modes so they are both good options. If you need a few extra watts then yeah, Samsung.
No. The Anker adapter is good if you already have it. It isn't the absolute best but, I only mention it quickly in the video, these are really all in the same performance field.
I've had a Sony MDR Z900 headphone for over 20 years until the head stem broke and the ear pads are deformed and rotten, but the sound is still as good as the first day of use, so I bought a Baseus D02, a much cheaper headset, but with 20 more years of technology and development, more comfortable, lighter and more ergonomic than the Sony..., however, it's just that, the sound..., it's sensibly of inferior quality, stop and that it is immersed inside a bucket of water compared to the old Sony z900. The technology should make up for Sony's difference in quality and value after so many years of development, but that doesn't happen with the Baseus D02, unfortunately it's just a medium to low headphone that has a lot of hype to sell.
Yeah, I have two pairs of Sony MDR-7506 (basically an industry standard in video/audio) and a pair of isolators with the same drivers in it. Sony figured it out a long time ago. I just bought new ear pads for my 20+ year old MDR's and they are like new again.
I bought an Anker 30w at Walmart last week for $22, but I returned it because I heard that the company spies on its customers. So I bought an Apple 35w to charge my m2 iPad Pro. It works better
The power adapter itself can't do that... there are no data connections and then the power adapter doesn't have the ability to transmit that data... but if you install some app for some reason I'm sure that has issues but so does every app and literally every company, including apple. Why does a flashlight app need to access my contacts!?! hahaha. The apple 35W is expensive but I am sure it works with Apple devices well.
@@AllThingsOnePlace i returned it so I’m not supporting the company. If you don’t know how bad they are, check out Linus’s video on Eufy and Anker its horrific. They are facial scanning without permission, sending it to an unsecured cloud server for all to access.
@@LeesReviews69 ah yeah the cameras. Yeah, that is awful. I wouldn’t ever buy a camera that requires an app or cloud access to function. Immediate stop. Unfortunately the manufacturers want that continual revenue and to sell your data so do awful things like require access to everything you do to allow the device to work.
Just want to point out, I'm able to power and charge a MacBook Pro with a 20W charger (not using low battery mode or anything) just fine without losing battery. It's slow, obviously, and doing some really heavy tasks like editing or TH-cam may not charge. I don’t know if this is the case for intel devices or other OSs, but at least 1 anecdote in favor of 30W being more useful for charging a laptop than people might realize when they come with 60-140W adaptors by default
Yeah, Apple seems to be ahead of the curve here, the larger CPU equipped notebooks will certainly be using battery and ac power, but if it's a relatively short workload, it'll go back to that low power mode and charge again. We will see how these new snapdragon windows computers do.
thank u but can u explain it a bit simpler 😅(but keep the details) imagine ur explaining to a 5 year old child :) iv'e never worked with an oscilloscope and don't know what those numbers mean
Yeah, the newer videos are much more simple, but still it is somewhat advanced topic so explaining everything down to that level becomes less valuable, it is how you end up at the review videos where people take it out of the box and plug it in and go yep it works, trying to avoid that.
The Anker is that game changer. My phone charges super fast and super cool. No heating issues.

Yeah, that's the kind of thing I tend to put in a short if I can find one. I added it to the list though.
@@AllThingsOnePlace There may be a problem buying this charger outside Norway. I have written to the manufacturer and am waiting for a response regarding the purchase abroad.
This one compared with the 20W from Apple? Which one is better? Size doesnt matter.
Probably the apple, just for reliability sake.
hi i have s21 fe do you recommend anker 511 or baseus gen3?!
For a small charger, the Anker.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Appreciate that ❤️ gj on content keep rolling
From watching a bunch of your videos it sounds like there really is no reason that these devices (even 30W) should not include PFC, at first I was concerned about my next charging device having PFC. But I only need something like these small ones around 20-30W, so no PFC for me :(
would there be any issues in usage or how it works? or is it mainly that it will essentially boil down to costing more money using it due to the low power factor values
Basically, cost and size. There are topologies that merge the components into a simpler circuit but for some reason only at really high power levels, think 2kW server power supplies. At low power levels the supplies are always separately controlled and switched sections on the circuit board. This has three consequences. One it takes up more space to add a whole separate power supply section, two it adds power consumption (heat) for that extra circuity, and three it is more expensive to add more stuff for no 'corporate' value. There is a point where it makes sense to have it, I haven't found a paper really covering this in detail yet though, I have found many papers that say it is bad, then proceed to talk about entirely different topics and never explain why or what the calculations are for any of it.
Best of these three? Google 30, Anker 511 Nano 3 or Fuel Transparent?
The google is my choice.
I am very confused which power adapter should I take for my iphone 15 pro max, I am looking for GaN 30 watt kindly can you please recommend me the best one to take
There are a lot of options, the UGREEN tested okay, the Insignia (not in this video was good), the Anker is very efficient. The Syncwire was surprisingly okay for a lesser known brand, no idea on longevity on that one.
Hello, what is the best charger for Samsung a54? Please introduce some of them
Any of the ones in this video with PPS would be a good choice.
@@AllThingsOnePlace thanks i bought anker power port ||| 65w pod A2712
I'm hesitant to use this for my Iphone 15. Will I have issues using it for my iphone for long term especially battery health?
Apple is very good at managing battery health. It may cause a minor change in battery health over time but just charging and discharging is still damaging to the battery at any speed. Apple tests these things and also the fast charging they offer isn't as fast as others. They manage charging speeds to be reasonable and in line with the battery capabilities. It will get warmer so the thought is it degrades the battery faster, but I haven't seen any actual published papers proving this. So, it is a risk, and it depends on how long you plan to keep the phone for. If you pick one with a USB A port the slow charging option can still be on the table.
Hello
What is better to buy adopter here in the two ugreen nexode 30w or anker 511 nano iii 30w?
I think they are both good choices. There isn't really a better.
Hello, on your website Ugreen CD127 has 89 PQS, and in this video graph it has 80. Which is correct?
There are two CD127's. The newer one is an 80 the older one is an 89.
Which one should I choose for my google pixel 7 pro?
711 Charger (Nano II) or 511 Charger (Nano 3)?
I replied to this in another thread. The choice is yours.
i just bought a pixel 7. Anker nano iii 30w (23€ ) or google 30w (27,5€) ?
i prefer the anker for the size, but if the google is better for the battery health, i will choose the google. Your opinion?
I answered this on another thread.
How about the ugreen nexode 30w and baseus GaN5 30W? I’m using the anker nano 3
Nano iii is still good. The nexode 30W did well in testing also. Anything I've looked at that's newer from Baseus has been bad.
Samsung 25W charger Vs Anker 511 Nano 3 which one do you prefer?
ha, uh. 511? I mean I'm just picking one. They're the same, it comes down to the modes of operation and if it aligns with your device requirements.
I fried 2x anker nano 2 45w chargers while charging a v mount battery while it is powering a LED light using a max draw of 80w. I am currently looking at this 30w charger due to its price/size and perhaps better overload protection. the v mount battery accepts 20v pd at a max of 45w, do u think this 30w charger will work for extended periods of 4-5 hrs at max load, abet at a slower rate?
I frequently use a 60w led light at half power, sometimes remotely with a 14.8v/99wh battery. a 30w usb-c charger with a 15ft 60w rated cable+battery is a much lighter option compared to bringing & switching between battery/80w ac-dc brick+cable. a 30w top up should extend the run time at 50% from 2hrs to 5-6 hrs which is sufficient for my needs. do u also know of a reason y I shouldn't do this?
That’s a good use case for the compact adapters. I power all my lighting with a 200w USB adapter. Only about 60w of lights though so way under load so it can run full time no problem. Fact is these things aren’t made for full duty cycle. There is a reason the old bricks were big. They could supply the power 24/7. I’d actually recommend a 65+w supply so it isn’t being fully loaded. Even newer power supplies are big. I can’t remember if I showed it in a video, a 100 watt industrial supply is massive by comparison but it’ll supply 100 watts for years.
If I really really wanted to power a 12v device with this would it supply 9v instead? 15v?
Orrr. . . would it just refuse to PD at all?
It usually defaults to the next lowest voltage. So, it will try 9V. If the device can't use that then, it should fail negotiation.
ohh I love the help! thank you thank you
Now that I have 12v stuffs to plug into it, it really did just fall to 9v(measured). Which is . . all good ✊ since every single 12v item I was able to plug in _runs-just-fine_ off of the the 9v coming out of the anker 511. I'm glad
I was hoping for a leakage current measurement, the EU version gives off a slight tingle
Yeah, I've only started the official measurements of that recently. I have gone back and measured 100 or so adapters. I will be posting that at some point.
I bought a Samsung EP-T4510, and I'm a little confused. It charges my tablet, phone, and power bank properly, but it can't charge my AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C. For me, it's really strange that I can't charge my headphones using this adapter. Is this a defective charger or a 'feature' of this charger?
That's odd, it should charge those devices just fine. I generally have found the apple devices charge on everything I've plugged them into. It's usually other companies that have issues working with an Apple charger instead. Interesting, I still wouldn't say it's broken but rather a unique adapter.
Hey, my friend. What is a better option, anker nano 3, anker nano pro or baseus GaN5 30W?
Good question. I'd probably go with the Anker nano 3.

@@shandywich I’m interested too
Im so confused, if i buy a 30 watt power brick, what type of usb c cable should i use to fast charge my phone and get the max charging power of the brick? 3A or the 5A?
You only need a 3 amp cable to charge from any 30 watt brick with the PD modes that are available. 11V*3A is 33W for the PPS mode, and at 5V or 9V they will only go to 3 amps, so 15W and 27W maximum respectively for the PD modes.
@@AllThingsOnePlace thank you very much
Hi , can i use this to charge my apple watch series 10?
I don't see why not.
Thoughts on the 33W charger from Anker? 323
Did I do that one? I swear I did. Yeah, I did, it's fine. It's a typical low wattage charger.
@@AllThingsOnePlace thoughts on the 45W one? its hard to get a decent here in australia for a fair price
the Anker Is a good charger or Samsung 25w Is Better?
They are on par with each other.
what different nano 511 pro? which better?
The nano III is more capable and modern.
I found comment on the Amazon where one person tested temperature of charger. 70 C deg. Quite high and dangerous...
Yeah, 70 degrees C is hot, I don't doubt it either, it does depend on environment though, if it started at 30C then 40C rise is possible with long term use. I've seen 90+ on cases of these adapters when they go for smallness over all else. The goal is to get all the heat to the case too, less surface area equals hotter. Some of the safety standards would allow the case to get to 70C for a device that only gets touched short term.
@@AllThingsOnePlace I received the charger from Amazon. Charger does not overheated or even heat up too much. I recommend.
Sir, may i use it for 25 Watt charging?? I have got an a52 4g.
I don't see why not.
I own the Anker 511 , it gets warmer than my Xiaomi 66w charging my Iphone 15, charges at same speed ( about 55% in 30minutes) why? also phone is warmer..
Assuming all you say is correct and exact, the two devices would have to be operating in different charging modes to behave differently on the phone end. The 511 I'd expect to get warm, it's tiny and would be near full load whereas the Xiaomi wouldn't be operating at full load so should be cooler. The phone itself may be turning on and off if the charging mode is faster with one of the devices versus the other, you wouldn't see any indication of this and both would average the same charging rate. Also, apple optimizes charges at different times of day and based on usage so it's probably not an entirely repeatable test.
Does it work fine on samsung s23 regular?
I'm not sure I don't have a Samsung device but as long as it has the power modes, PPS 11V-3A, it should work for 25W charging.
cant wait for the rest of the "nano III" range
Yeah, I'm sure it will be a busy new year.
So, you could test the new Baseus CCGAN140CE, 140W, multiport 2C+1A, it is not the cheapest, nor the most expensive in the category, but it promises 140W maximum load in a single USB C port, fast charging in the three ports, safe in 8 protection levels, trickling charge at near maximum charges, wide compatibility with notebooks, tablets and smartphones, the newest GaN5(merchandiding brand?) technology, but lacks a technical analysis, like yours, to reveal to the Apple, Sansumg, Hwaei, Xiaomi curious consumers the real characteristics of this new Baseus power charger , lets go!
I’m going to put a short out on it very soon. Won’t be as detailed but the full deal video which will be out in 3 weeks or so with a bunch of other PD 3.1 devices. I think I might have the most pd 3.1 devices of anyone, is that a problem or a good thing?
@@AllThingsOnePlace With each edition of new devices, new devices need more and more energy to satisfy their hunger for power and we begin to think it's normal to pay 60, 90 or more US dollars for power chargers..., However, with each edition the merchandising follows the increase in power and the costs involved with technology and production and we end up lost in false information about new devices and their cost/benefit, reliability and quality, that's the question(or report merchandising problem) about PD 3.1 devices and any new paraphernalia released on the market, after all notebooks, tablets and smartphones are expensive devices... and bring a cost to nature and the future of the Planet, thanks to your analysis we know more about power factor correction and its importance in products such as Koval, Aftertop, Rocoren, Anker, Ugreen, WotobeUs, Baseus, Apples and others, thanks for the reply!

Bummer. Wish you had looked at the Scosche 30 watt, GaN selling at Costco in a two pack for about $28. They’re tiny.
Well, they sell them at various places so added to the list. So many brands I've never heard of. It does look like this one customized the case at least so not just a rebadge. We will see if they are smaller than the Anker.
What's the THD figures for this charger?
a lot. 200+% idle, and 100+% operational.
@@AllThingsOnePlace thanks! I ended up getting the 20w version. Was looking at the Google 30w but it's triple the price of the Anker nano 20w version. I noticed the THD for the Google 30w is 100%+ too...will this generally be a concern? I noticed in one of your videos you said that THD will not be anything of concern since the current for these chargers are so low.
@@vana8912 Yeah, it is less of a concern on smaller chargers since the 'grid' is so much larger the current being unusually shaped can be pretty easily absorbed. If you tried to plug in 10 of them, the story changes, but yeah one adapter in the 20-30W range isn't going to hurt anything.
The Amuzone link goes to a Motorola adapter.
fixed.
which one to go for between anker 711 nano 2 vs anker 511 nano 3? they both cost almost the same and also same 30w.
Depends on size and features. The 711 doesn’t have foldable plugs and is marginally more efficient. The 511 is tiny.
These 30W chargers are perfect for the Apple Silicon based MacBooks. 30 watts is plenty to not only charge the laptop but typically also a phone plugged into the laptop itself.
Yeah, 30 watts is a special category. Tiny, light, and decently efficient.
@@AllThingsOnePlace is there any downside using Anker Nano 3 for charging my MacBook Air M1 (30W) ?
@@farissmechbal It will be slower charging, which is half benefit anyway, so not really any major issue.

Would you recommend the 30w google charger or samsung 45w charger? My phone accepts 30 watts max, but thought it could be useful if I want to charge my laptop, the price difference is only $10 in my country.
Hmm. That is probably a toss up. The Samsung charger is larger but either one has a pretty wide amount of charging modes so they are both good options. If you need a few extra watts then yeah, Samsung.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Thanks for the answer, your videos are very professional, best of luck to growing your channel.
Hello!
l currently have Pixel 6 Pro and use a nano 3. Do you think it's worth changing from Anker's adapter to Google's?
No. The Anker adapter is good if you already have it. It isn't the absolute best but, I only mention it quickly in the video, these are really all in the same performance field.
Unfortunately the Google 30w charger dies after just 9 months of minimal use (1 charge per day).

@@AllThingsOnePlace unfortunately Google doesn't honor a warranty in most countries around the world.
I've had a Sony MDR Z900 headphone for over 20 years until the head stem broke and the ear pads are deformed and rotten, but the sound is still as good as the first day of use, so I bought a Baseus D02, a much cheaper headset, but with 20 more years of technology and development, more comfortable, lighter and more ergonomic than the Sony..., however, it's just that, the sound..., it's sensibly of inferior quality, stop and that it is immersed inside a bucket of water compared to the old Sony z900. The technology should make up for Sony's difference in quality and value after so many years of development, but that doesn't happen with the Baseus D02, unfortunately it's just a medium to low headphone that has a lot of hype to sell.
Yeah, I have two pairs of Sony MDR-7506 (basically an industry standard in video/audio) and a pair of isolators with the same drivers in it. Sony figured it out a long time ago. I just bought new ear pads for my 20+ year old MDR's and they are like new again.
I bought an Anker 30w at Walmart last week for $22, but I returned it because I heard that the company spies on its customers. So I bought an Apple 35w to charge my m2 iPad Pro. It works better
The power adapter itself can't do that... there are no data connections and then the power adapter doesn't have the ability to transmit that data... but if you install some app for some reason I'm sure that has issues but so does every app and literally every company, including apple. Why does a flashlight app need to access my contacts!?! hahaha. The apple 35W is expensive but I am sure it works with Apple devices well.

Just want to point out, I'm able to power and charge a MacBook Pro with a 20W charger (not using low battery mode or anything) just fine without losing battery. It's slow, obviously, and doing some really heavy tasks like editing or TH-cam may not charge. I don’t know if this is the case for intel devices or other OSs, but at least 1 anecdote in favor of 30W being more useful for charging a laptop than people might realize when they come with 60-140W adaptors by default
Yeah, Apple seems to be ahead of the curve here, the larger CPU equipped notebooks will certainly be using battery and ac power, but if it's a relatively short workload, it'll go back to that low power mode and charge again. We will see how these new snapdragon windows computers do.
