I love the AC/USB/USB-C surge protector/charger I got last time there was a sale. I have it next to my bed and I bring it with me anytime I travel. It’s so useful that I’m thinking of grabbing another.

That does like pretty nice. compact design, useful ports. could be very handy for travel.

But the USB-C is only 18W. What do you use that port for, slow charging an iPad overnight? I think even the iPad Pro 11 came with a 29W. Or maybe you have a USB-C to lightning and use for fast charging phone?

Yeah I use it to charge my iPad and iPhone (USB-C to Lightening). I don't mind the speed, never really noticed it. I've never used the charger that came with my iPhone or iPad.

/edit Wait the one I got last time is a different model, one that has 30W over USB-C. Okay maybe I won't pick this up then. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DFFX34P

The first link in the article doesn't appear to go anywhere.

Big FYI that Anker batteries do not pass through power when charging, limiting their usefulness for various applications. If it is getting a charge, the software shuts off the output.

Many other batteries allow pass through power while charging.
 
The USB-C Charger shouldn't be called that since the charger only has 1-USB Type C and 3-USB Type A's...I would like for it to have 3-4 USB Type C's.
