Looking to get a wall charger that can all your devices at maximum speed? I’ve tested 12+ of the most popular GaN Wall Chargers with wattages above 100W. I’ve done multiple speed tests involving solo charging, charging under max loads, multiple device charging through laptops and multiple device charging through the charger.
Be warned though, these chargers are generally not cheap BUT there is one in my test group that was affordable AND fast!

Hi, I bought the USB C Charger, Baseus 100W PD GaN3 Fast Wall Charger Block, 4-Ports [2USB-C + 2USB], it worked for my MSI Flip 2in1 laptop, but it did not work for my Thinkpad x1 yoga 7 2in1. Do you know why?
You could try use one of those cables that show the power to find out what each port can do.
I have the Spigen GaN III 1402 PD3.1 140W charger model PE2109UJ. It supports 140W 28V/5A EPR on the port that’s marked with a laptop icon. The other port is 100W SPR 20V/5A.
I use it as my bedside charger for my 16" MBP M1 Max. Plug the MagSafe 3 cable into one port, then the other. Check what System Information – Power – AC Charger Information shows for each. One will say 140W, while the other will say 100W.
When you test charger protocol support with your KM003C you either need to have an EPR cable connected on the other side or use EPR cable emulation. Generally, a real cable is more reliable.
Always test all ports on a charger individually with nothing else plugged into a multiport charger. Some cables are active and will limit power on adjacent ports simply by being plugged in without a device.
The Voltme Revo 100W does not have an OSHA NRTL recognized safety listing e.g UL, ETL, TUV, SGS, etc. That’s a red flag.
Monty with the tie lol
what about nomad?
No shit he didn’t review the anker GalNitrate
Could Apple devices pull less power then possible if it’s not an Apple charger? And was the cable rated for higher wattages? I have the Aohi, I picked it up after getting the cable set. Really enjoying it.
Can you make a video on 12v car chargers?
Charging from laptop will be slow. Multi Port is definitely needed.
Please add UK amazon links
Ugreen nexode pro 200W, not mentioned
Weird
Magsafe cooling charger video
Can you review AOHI External battery thinking about buying it
Can you send me the iPad that you tested on because I can run it using the TIYP-C port? It doesn’t matter what you send because they work with the same port. In fact, it is a dream that is almost coming true. Please reply and thank you.
Did you test the 150W Anker 747?
Where does the 120W Anker 737 stand in this list?
How about GaN charge stations or wall chargers with 6+ USB-C PD ports?
Came here for cool chargers these get too hot
Don’t buy Aohi! On paper it looks amazing. Works well for a few months and then it decreases performance ALOT, and then just doesn’t charge anymore. Aohi also doesn’t honor their 18months warranty. Just buy a name brand charger, this is just going to give you a overpriced brick.
Whenever I need to buy any sort of mobile/computer tech product, I always go to your channel. It is a ritual at this point, I know you are definetely soembody I can trust. Keep it up!
would be interesting to know longterm effects on your laptop messing with third party power stuff
What happened to your hair?
You must be mistaken on the AOHI Magcube 140W. It can charge 140W oit of "each" usb-c port "at the same time." Not a "combined" 140W. So that 280W if you are using both ports at the same time. The AOHI Youth can only do 140W at a time but splits it if you use both ports. The Magcube doesn’t. Also, it states that in irder to get the full 140W charging that you "MUST" use their magsafe 3 cable. You didn’t use their cable I’m assuming. If none of this is true, then their Amazing page is straight up lying. Let me know.
its 2024, and still USB A. Looks like human just cannot evolve. Means you can’t use all the ports without bringing another type of cable.
Never disappoints on his videos
no one goes to the lengths and the depths to do reviews like you thats why you stand out and are an extremely reliable source of information in my view
I got the same Voltme charger recently too, it works great. I do agree that it runs warmer than some other 100w chargers, not horribly hot though.
Nice video keep up the good work
Satechi makes great chargers. I have the 165 Watt one that charge 4 devices at one time, even laptops.
3:15 you say that as if that’s the be all end all answer to trusting a reviewer. I’m not saying that this is what you’re doing, but since you brought it up, someone in your position could still be fudging results to direct people towards a specific product in the lineup because you get a bigger kick back from that affiliate link out of the bunch. Which could technically still lead a “reviewer” to care about which product a viewer buys.
On a more positive note: good review. I respect the dedication. That’s a lotta chargers. And the addition of the dog dialog is cute.
Why not the 100W SlimQ or the 100W Baseus CCGAN100US? Both 4 ports.
Most useless review I’ve ever seen, without any tests, ugreen 140w still not revealed with charge test, ok
Can you do a car charger video? I’m a long haul trucker and usually have my stuff plugged into a car port
The apple charger also has one (kinda cheating) advantage as well. Its free with a MacBook Pro which many might have already if you are looking for a 100+w 3rd party brick. The only downsides to this being if you are looking for a 100w brick to travel with and not a laptop, you only have 1 port.
If you want to find a hot charger just buy an open box from any retailer and you’ll find it it’s super hot because guess what some low-level YouTuber has already bought it for a dumb video like this just to return it for a full refund so he can scam the company while making money off of the affiliate links
And that’s how evil works.
The MacBook charger shouldn’t get extra points for charging the MacBook at over 100W. Apple has been infamous for adding hidden bullshit hardware and software limitations into their devices with the intent of having only their stuff working decently. It could very well be another of those cases, for all we know.
Love Cutie Monty! ❤️ looking like a distinct Gentleman😘
Thanks for the informative video. Could you do a video about Qi2 and “Made For Magsafe” chargers since Qi2 is going to be mainstream soon?
looookit that little duuuug
According to Ugreen, it puts out 140w in single port mode. So it’s at least as good as the Apple single charger. In 2-port mode it puts out 100w + 60w, then 65w+65w+30w in 3-port mode, and 65w+65w+5+5 in 4-port mode
Thank you for your videos, the tech world NEEDED someone like you. You do all the legwork so we don’t have to, thank you and keep the tech reviews coming.
Let me tell you that Ao hi is actually a charger OEM for Xiaomi, OPPO, and Huawei. This is their own brand. I don’t know if Amazon sells the 140W Youth Edition. The efficiency and ripple will be lower. If you want your iPhone battery to stay healthy for a long time, you should pay attention to a standard "ripple" when choosing a charger. This is the most important factor affecting your battery health. Of course, if your country has a voltage of 110V, ignore this sentence. It also depends on the conversion efficiency. The pursuit of small size will only bring greater heat and reduce the power of the charger. This is something the manufacturer will not tell you directly. The last sentence is that Anker has a bad reputation in China. ❤
Ankers’ 100w charger is now only $42 for AmazonPrime, which imo makes this entire video obsolete. I personally got the Aohi and couldn’t be happier. I even got 120W from a single port using Aohi’s 240W cable. Why isn’t the ugreen 300w on here?
Why dont charger get small fans in them considering the sizes they come in
Nice review! Would love to see you review the best foldable 3 in 1 chargers for traveling. 🤔
Hi, any reco on how to remove a scratch from the applewatch screen? rhinoshield mentions cerium oxide polish. but does it remove the oleophobic coating? and can you reapply the oleophobic coating to the screen?
I have the Voltme but my use case was to mostly charge around half the watts-steam deck or two phones. I generally don’t like the idea of maxing out the capacity and would rather bump up to the next tier, like the 140 Voltme to charge around 100. That might be a PC building power supply way of thinking.
FYI Ugreen has 3 different categories for their Nexode line of chargers. (Nexode, X Nexode, Pro Nexode). After doing some research the specs on the X Nexode line of Ugreen chargers seem to be better than the "Pro Nexode" line.
Gotta agree with some other comments – its hard to trust you when Anker isnt in the top 3 here.
No Anker?
