There are several charger options with single, dual, and triple ports for powering laptops, tablets, smartphones, and more. Prices range from $15 to $100.

• Speedport 20 ($14.95) - 20W with one USB-C port.
• Speedport 35 ($24.95) - 35W with one USB-C port.
• Speedport 45 ($39.95) - 45W with two USB-C ports.
• Speedport Plus 67 ($59.95) - 67W with two USB-C ports and a built-in retractable 60W USB-C cable for charging up to three devices at once.
• Speedport 70 ($49.95) - 70W with two USB-C ports.
• Speedport 100 ($79.95) - 100W with two USB-C ports. 
• Speedport 140 ($99.95) - 140W with three USB-C ports.

All of the Speedport chargers feature a similar design, adopting plastics made from 75 percent post-consumer recycled materials and foldable prongs for travel.

With the exception of the Speedport 67 with integrated cable, all of the new chargers are available for purchase from the Mophie website as of today.

I like how they put the number directly in their naming so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Yeah, definitely more companies should start doing this.

I wonder why the 20w one is so bulky compared to the 35w one?

 

[seek3r]

The higher power ones look huge compared to anker’s versions, is that an optical illusion or are they really that chunky?

 

[dotnet]

I like how they aligned the model names with the wattage figures...

I'm a little confused. On (the only one I looked at,) the 45 watt one, this picture says 45Wx2, so does that mean 45W for each plug, so it's a max of 90? That would be cool, as I was expecting 45W total, as either 45x1 or something like 30W + 15W if two devices got plugged in. The tech spec just says 45W, however, which makes me think it's the latter.

If you expand the pictures you would see, Single connection 45W Max, Multi Connection 40W Max. So, it's not even total 45W if both the output are in use!

Wonder if any have USB PD 3.2 PPS AVS

 

[Mactech20]

Not really sure why anyone would buy any of these over anker ones that are 20%-75% less expensive.

Anker’s 140w charger measures at 69 × 69 × 36 mm. Mophie’s 140w charger is 31.5 × 68 × 84 mm.

So yeah, it’s a little bigger in volume. And Anker’s is cheaper.

The 67 with the built in cable is very slick!

It probably doesn't if you put it on the lower one.
