Satechi 145W GaN travel charger review: Perfect for any mobile tech loadout
If it were smaller, I would gladly call this charger essential EDC
Following in Apple’s footsteps, the companies behind most of our favorite Android phones stopped shipping charging bricks and adapters with their phones. This opened up a massive market for third-party accessory makers like Satechi and Anker, which often feature in our recommendations for reliable chargers. However, choosing a new charger is always tricky, especially models with multiple outputs, because the advertised power output is usually split across the ports and limited by the connector and charging standards adopted. Options are further limited if you travel frequently, and need something to recharge all your gadgets using that singular power outlet in the hotel room or airport lounge.
Best Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ chargers in 2024
If you want to make use of your Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ throughout the day, you'll need one of these chargers
Whether you’re casually browsing the Internet or lounging in the pool reading a book on your Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+, a low battery alert is disruptive. It’s even more annoying if you’re without the proper charger to boost your battery back to 100%, especially since Samsung doesn't include one in the box.
When it comes to chargers, smaller usually means less powerful, but that's not always the case. RAVPower is offering a 2-pack of some pretty small 20W fast chargers with USB-C ports for .89 after two coupons, making this a pretty good deal if you need a couple of extra chargers around.Design-wise, these are pretty similar to the tiny 5W brick that Apple includes used to include in the box of every iPhone, but RAVPower's is a lot more powerful. It supports USB-C Power Delivery and Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0, meaning it'll charge almost every USB-C device pretty quickly.

Woot, a daily deals site owned by Amazon, has a special today for a pair of Samsung's Fast Charging Wireless Qi stands for $50. Just last month the site had these for $55, and patience has earned you an extra $5 savings. As before, if you don't need Samsung's "Fast Charge" tech, then you're probably better off with cheaper chargers elsewhere. But, for first party Samsung Fast Chargers, this is a good price.
As a community of tech addicts, we tend to be a bit more demanding of our phone's battery life than the average user. Because of this, we need to take advantage of every opportunity available to recharge our gear. A perfect time to top off the tank of the ol' smartphone is during the daily commute. If you are fortunate enough to have a short one (you lucky devil) then you need a car charger that can provide the much-needed juice in a hurry. There's a car charger on sale today for just under $8 that does just that. It's made by Aukey and features two charging ports, one has an output of 2.4A, and the other supports Quick Charge 3.0. It's not terribly flashy, but it gets the job done just fine. In fact, it's the charger that's been in our family minivan for the past 6 months, and it's still working great.
I know QC 3.0 is the hot new tech on the market right now, but, in reality, it is only incrementally better than the QC 2.0 technology that it is replacing. If you don't mind a small downgrade in speed, you can pick up the older generation chargers for a fraction of what those sporting QC 3.0 cost.Aukey just sent me the links to a few coupons it is offering on some of its 'old' QC 2.0 chargers. It has a couple for use in the house and one for the car and all of them are heavily discounted. Here are the descriptions and links.

Since the time I began writing for Android Police last spring I have written dozens of deal alerts. Many of these articles have featured mobile accessories from brands I had not previously heard of, let alone tried for myself. While reviews on Amazon are a nice tool to help determine if a product is any good, there is no substitute for a recommendation from a source you trust. With that in mind, today I'm starting a new series of articles reviewing mobile accessories from the manufacturers that we often feature in Deal Alerts at Android Police.First up in the series is Aukey's lineup of QC 3.0 chargers. Aukey sent me four different QC 3.0 chargers to test, including a single port charger, a dual port charger, a dual port car charger, and a five port charging station. All of the chargers are also backwards compatible with QC 2.0 devices, so if you pick one up you can be sure it will work with your existing devices, as well as your future ones. Let's take a look at them.
Multi-port USB wall charging stations are my favorite new gadgets that I have purchased in the past year. Instead of having to charge devices throughout the house with individual chargers and a tangled nest of cords, I can now charge everything on my kitchen counter, or at my bedside. Beautiful.We frequently post deals for five port chargers, but they almost never come with MicroUSB cables, leaving you to scrounge up your own, or make another purchase. Today's deal, however, is the complete package. Right now on Amazon, if you purchase an Aukey 5 port 50W/10A charger and a five pack of Auckey 20AWG MicroUSB cables in the same transaction, the cables are included for free – a $9 savings.The charging station is not Quick Charge 2.0 compatible like Aukey's higher end unit, but the 2.4A per port will still charge devices at a reasonable rate. The charger is well rated with 4.6 stars, and both the charger and cords are backed by an 18 month warranty. The pack of cords includes 3x 3.3ft cables and 2x 1ft cables.With the lack of QC speeds, this may not be your primary charger. That being said, it could be a great holiday gift, travel charger, or make you the most popular guy at work if you left one in the break room for community use.To get the cables free, you need to have both items in your cart at checkout. When you're ready to make your purchase enter the code OUNEZF8T to drop the total price by 9 bucks to $14.99. I have an older version of this charger on my kitchen counter right now, and it is still going strong after almost a year. I highly recommend it.
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. That's 8 bucks less than the normal price. Not bad. The charger comes with a six-foot 20A MicroUSB cable and is backed by a solid 18 month warranty. Prime users can take advantage of free shipping.I bought one of these chargers a couple of months ago and can tell you myself that it works great and is very durable.
