Multi Country Travel Charger

Richie · Friday at 14:10

I have a very old charger (about 15 years old) which I love because it has interchangeable plug ends meaning, when I go abroad, I can just unclip the UK side and slide in another section to convert it to whatever country I go to. It is, however getting past it and the cable is starting to break and fray. Other than that, its been brilliant.

I am looking for a new one but it seems a minefield as to what to get and how reliable they are.

I was looking at this - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09X1H88VP/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=AXZ3JQ1GVFPIF&psc=1 but I am not sure on the quality of uGreen items.

Ideally I would have went with a proven brand like Anker but they dont seem to do this kind of thing

What do you frequent travellers use?

I use one of these. I have taken it to Japan and Morocco 4 times now. Charges my iPad and everything else.

I use the lower power ones for my Apple Watch or camera. I can even add a normal Ugreen 65w charger with 2 x USB-C to expand it.

I have a Lencent travel charger. As far as I can tell, Lencent and Ugreen are both cheap Chinse based manufacturers of electronics who have some sort of partnership with Amazon as you never find them anywhere else.

I would say you get what you pay for. Their devices are fine, but not particularly sturdy/well built. If you can find something similar from a more reputable brand then go with that.

Trying and failing to find one like Anker... You would have thought Anker would have something like this :cry:

This SATECHI charger looks brilliant and the brand is a good one too.

It was on sale on for around £50, I’d keep an eye on that and get it when it comes back into stock.

Agree with the above though anker need to get the finger out and do one similar to that one. I do have one of their multi charger 30w single USB-C that came with the 3-1 cube which is brilliant.

I like chargers with the figure of 8 connection. Rather than needing some adapter plugs, I can pack 2pin and 3pin leads as needed.

Just get a multi adaptor and use your existing Anker?

I did consider that, I just preferred the purpose built style having had it for over a decade already.

I'll probably end up doing that though
