A good brand with a good deal, 37% off. An Anker 2 in 1 device. A 3 device portable charger that can also act as a wall charger at the same time. And I really like the size, 4.4 inches, by 2.5 inches, by 1.25 inches. Makes it easily portable. I have supplied 2 links; one for the article, and one for the Amazon link.
Here is the link to the article.

I burned my GP micro usb battery charger 🫠 This is insides of the charger.. they could not care less to include a polyfuse or a single diode to prevent current related issues.. such a waste!

Do I interpret this correctly, @frameworkcomputer ?

You're working on a version of your laptops?

Cuz that's the one thing I really want to see - ideally on a 13" device!

Also please let me know once you got a that can do 240W / 48V @ 5A because I could really use such a beast...

I've been trying the Satechi 200W, 6-port USB-C charger for people like me who have no more need for old rectangular USB-A charging ports. They're on sale right now, 20% off. Thumbs up. https://www.cnet.com/deals/celebrate-the-iphone-15s-unveiling-with-20-off-satechi-accessories/

Oh wise nerds, could you explain this weird "track" on the PCB?

It's got no copper, and even no solder mask. Just raw . And it has solder blobs on both ends. Nothing on the other side either.

The device is a 5V Samsung phone from 2012. The "track" connects the high voltage and the low voltage parts of the circuit.

WHAT DOES IT DO???

In the house for testing: Nomad's new $110 130W, 3-port USB-C charger; sweet little $25 ChargeKey USB-C cable, with nice magnetic closing clasp; and $50 3m Kevlar USB-C cable, super beefy. They all have excellent build quality, but note that the charge cables only support slow USB 2.0 data speeds.

Bought a quite small 35 W with two USB-C sockets. It said "GaN". I googled.

Why do articles typically make it sounds as if GaN and PD are alternative technologies? Surely chargers also implement ?

As I understand it, PD is the protocol that specifies how to (optionally, if the device to be charged handles it) provide more power through USB by using a higher voltage. GaN is a technology totally internal to the charger, that makes it possible to build them smaller. Right?
