As game-changing as USB Type-C has been, most of us still have at least one or two devices lying around that require us to keep a USB Type-A charger handy as well. For simplicity's sake, why not have one charger that can accept both that can also output enough power to charge whatever device you need quickly and safely? Today, we have a deal that can help with just that. Right now, you can grab a dual-port Aukey 30W USB- C PD 2.0/18W Quick Charge 3.0 compatible charger from Amazon for only $16.34—saving $26.65 off the regular price of $42.99.While this adapter may not feature the latest and greatest when it comes to charging technologies and speeds, it could still make a decent addition to anyone's charging setup, especially at this price. USB-C Power Delivery 2.0 and Quick Charge 3.0 compatibility and maximum charging speeds of 30W over USB-C and 18W with USB-A should ensure speedy, worry-free charging for even the pickiest devices.

Fast charging can be a difficult topic to wrap your head around. There are a lot of competing standards, all with different cables and power adapters, but one of the most popular is Qualcomm's 'Quick Charge' technology. There are different versions with different charging speeds, but QC 2.0 and 3.0 are still common to find in today's phones and tablets.

If you happen to be in the market for a new gadget to charge your phone, or perhaps every USB-powered device in your house, you're in luck. Tronsmart and Aukey, two of the more prominent accessory sellers on Amazon, are both offering discounts with coupon codes today. If you have a Quick Charge 2.0 compatible phone or tablet, you can pick up a three-port Tronsmart wall charger for just .50 with the coupon 3USBWALL. The double car charger version is also .50 with the coupon 2USBCHAR. Both are discounted by a little less than ten bucks.If two or three ports simply aren't enough for you, the Titan multi-port charger can send Quick Charge juice to five different gadgets simultaneously. It's normally $38 for the white version, but add the coupon code USBTITAN and you can knock that price down to .49. For those who don't need multiple Quick Charge ports, Aukey offers pretty much the same thing with a lower watt rating and only one Quick Charge port out of five. It's normally $25, but with the coupon code 3PP6COR3 it gets bumped down to just .99. And finally if you need a little power on the go, Aukey has a respectable 10400mAh portable battery for .99 after adding the coupon code JEOSBZMP.cartAs usual, all of these deals offer free two-day shipping for Amazon Prime customers, and these coupon codes are probably limited to the United States. We don't know when they expire, so get an order in soon to take advantage of those lower prices.

Do you find yourself in need of charging solutions while traveling in your vehicle? Are there days then you are forced to decide between having a fully charged smartphone or a topped off tablet? Do you ever look longingly at your car charger and think, "Man, if I had just a couple more ports I could braid the cables the way I used to braid my pet unicorn's mane."Well then, have I got great news for you! Tronsmart is having a mega-massive-monster blowout sale on QC 2.0 car chargers and there's one to fit every geek's mobile charging needs.

Quick Charge 3.0 and USB Type C will be featured on many, if not all, of the new crop of Android flagship devices. Those are sweet new technologies to look forward to, but most of us will still be using a gadget with QC 2.0 and MicroUSB charging for quite some time. Instead of pining for new tech, you can celebrate the fact that QC 2.0 batteries and chargers are now more affordable than ever thanks to the promise of change on the horizon.Choetech has a couple of sweet QC 2.0 charging devices available for killer low prices right now. The first item is a feature packed 15,600 mAh battery for just $21.99 after applying a $10 off coupon code Z9646RFC. The battery has QC 2.0 output and input meaning you can charge the battery itself at a much higher speed than a standard power bank.The Choetech battery also has an Apple Lighting charging port in addition to the MicroUSB one, so if you only have access to an Apple charger you can still juice up your power bank. The cells in the battery are manufactured by Samsung and it sports a 4.7 star rating as well as an 18 month warranty. In other words, it's a solid buy.Choetech also has a two port 30W car charger on sale for $5.99 after applying coupon code 725N2G9D. One of the ports is QC 2.0, the other is an intelligent port that will charge non QC 2.0 devices at their optimal speed. A MicroUSB cable is included with the charger and it also carries an 18 month warranty and a solid 4.5 star rating.The codes expire Saturday the 30th, so don't delay if you want to pick one, or both, up.Source: Battery, Car Charger 

If you drive a tiny car like I do, you know the struggle of a long car ride, two passengers, two phones, and only one power port. If you'd like to alleviate that frustration, head on over to Amazon. Today you can grab a Tronsmart car charger that has two ports for just $7.99 with a coupon. The charger is compatible with Quick Charge 2.0, and on both ports to boot. If that's not enough to convince you, they're throwing in two MicroUSB cables for free.To take advantage of that low price, add the Tronsmart charger to your cart, then check out and apply the coupon code "DUALPORT" to bring the price down from $19.99 to $7.99. That's the lowest price that this particular accessory has had so far - last month it was slightly more expensive during the big Tronsmart sale. Naturally, Amazon Prime customers can get free two-day shipping, which will hopefully get the charger in your hands before you have to leave Grandma's house.

This month millions of people will be travelling to see friends and family for various holidays. And that's great. What isn't great is a 12-hour car trip with five people and only one available DC outlet for five phones, two tablets, one Wi-Fi hotspot, and a USB-powered cup warmer. With a little advance planning and just ten bucks, you can avoid backseat scuffles and keep everyone charged and happy thanks to a 4-port car charger (compatible with Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0 standard) from Amazon.

Quick Charge 2.0 chargers juice up compatible devices real fast. Keeping with the spirit of their rapid efficiency, I'm going to tell you about a great deal on a Quick Charge 2.0 wall charger speedy quick.On Amazon you can buy a 4.2 star rated 18W Tronsmart QC 2.0 Turbo wall charger for just $6.99 after applying coupon code UQ9S44HS at checkout.

Qualcomm has just announced its Quick Charge 3.0 technology, but it will take a while to make its way into new phones and accessories. However, we're starting to see the commoditization of Quick Charge 2.0 accessories, like these 2 Tronsmart chargers for example that are getting their prices slashed in about half.

Quick Charge is handy in just about any context, but it's especially useful in the car. With older phones on some roadtrips, using Google Maps navigation and streaming music at the same time actually made my battery power drop even as the phone was charging. With a Quick Charge-compatible car charger, that's no longer an issue. These upgraded chargers tend to be a little more pricey than their standard alternatives, but today Amazon has an Aukey-branded charge available for just .99. Add the coupon code 2P77G62C at checkout and you can take another $7 off the price, bringing it down to $5.99.The Aukey charger uses Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0 standard, which is 9 volts at 2 amps. Take note: the new Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X don't use Quick Charge 2.0 - their rapid charging capability needs 5 volts at 3 amps, so even if you get the correct cable, the new phones will charge at the standard rate (or possibly a little faster), but not as fast as you might be used to with the proprietary Quick Charge 2.0. Most of the other recent flagships should work just fine.cartIf none of that dissuades you, remember to add the coupon code before you check out. This deal appears to be valid in the US only, but it does come with free two-day shipping for Amazon Prime subscribers.Source: Amazon

Cables, the technological innovation that just won't die no matter how bad some folks want them to. There are wireless ways to charge smartphones these days, as well as options for transferring data without pulling out a cord. But frankly I still reach for a microUSB cable to do both of these things, and the number of people who do hardly stops with me.So here's a way to stock up on microUSB cables for cheap. Aukey has a six pack on Amazon for $11, and it will let you get them for $4.50 less if you use the coupon code ALXCCZHA at checkout. This will drop the price down to $6.50.Screenshot 2015-10-05 at 10.35.31 AMThe pack comes with one 6.6 foot cable, two 3.3, and three that are just a foot each. This way you can have one cord hanging out from behind your couch, two by the bed, and three that avoid making a tangled mess on your desk. You just have to supply your own power adapters. Each cable is Quick Charge 2.0 compatible and supports transferring data at up to 480Mbps.Source: Amazon

Your phone shipped with a wall charger capable of pumping juice back into one device at a time, but there's a decent chance you have a couple more than one lying around. Want to charge several with one plug? You can.Over on Amazon you can find the Tronsmart 42W 3-port wall charger. That's three times the devices. And the plug comes with Qualcomm certified Quick Charge 2.0 support in one of those ports. Non-Quick Charge devices draw power at up to 5V/2.4A using the other two. The plug in the back folds for easy storage, and a microUSB cable that supports the faster charging speed comes included.The wall charger usually goes for $20, but if you enter the coupon code JANQXRAX at checkout, you can bring the price down to $12.

For the past few years, we have been struggling against the limits of battery technology in our devices. The more powerful they become, the more we want to use them, but battery capacity never caught up with our demands, so we keep finding ourselves with smartphones that mostly just barely make it through the day. To remedy this, Qualcomm introduced Quick Charge, a faster way to charge your device's battery so that you can get back to using it as soon as possible and with as little interruption as necessary.

We have another good deal to share with you all today, this time on a Quick Charge 2.0 wall charger. The charger is an Anker branded unit on Amazon and the price is only $7.99 after entering the coupon code QPPAQPP5 at checkout. That's half off the normal retail price of $15.99 and every bit as good of a bargain as the last charger deal we posted.

Almost everybody knows by now what is good by having a device that supports Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0 standard. It will charge...quickly. The negative is that if you have amassed a stockpile of USB chargers over the years, none of your old ones can give you the speedy refuel. With Aukey's QC 2.0-compatible charger going for just $7.99, or half off of the full $15.99, after a coupon code on Amazon, you can grab one without feeling its toll on your wallet.That's even cheaper than the deal we posted just days ago for $10 each, which was quite popular itself.

There are few places more suited to using Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0 capability (also known as Adaptive Fast Charging on Samsung devices) than in the car. You might have a 20 minute commute to work and in that span of time, you can get your phone halfway charged or better with the new charging specification, compared to the meager 10-20% you might get with a conventional 2.1A output. With today's deal on this Tronsmart car charger with both QC 2.0 and a conventional 2.4A port, you can get that in your vehicle for just $10.

If you need to charge a lot of gear simultaneously in your car, then boy, have I got a great deal for you. Right now you can pick up a monstrous Tronsmart 54W four port USB car charger for the sweet price of just $13 after a $7 off coupon code. That's like four bucks a port! What makes it even better is that one of the ports is a Qualcomm Certified Quick Charge 2.0 port that will rapidly charge most current gen Android handsets.
