Time to update my multi charger.
I'm looking at something like this but can anybody explain the different ports and what I would use them for?
Which one would I plug my Sony Experia 5ii into which uses an 18 watt charger for example?
Could I plug anything into any port and the tech would just work it out?
Obviously something that needed the PD-45W wouldn't charge as fast if it was put into the 5v-2.4A.

Type C denotes the connection type, USB 3 is the USB standard being used.

Type C initially was mostly seen replacing Micro USB which were really Micro Type B) connectors and is slowly starting to replace Type A connectors in a lot of applications too.

They're often conflated as they were developed at similar times.

I know that, I wanted to know what the differences are in charging on the example in my picture.
It seems I need to get Type C to Type C for efficiency.
 
There's a lot of unknown / unfamiliar brands in this space so I'd be mindful of buying a recognised brand such as Anker or Belkin if you want more peace of mind with respect to possible fire.

I'm also a fan of Green Cell, they produce excellent eBike batteries of which I have two.
