If USB-C has finally come into its own, why is it still impossible to find a dual USB-C power adapter or battery? Still have to use hacky USB-C to USB-A cables connected to a low-amp USB-A port for all but one device. USB-C will have come into its own when I can travel without any extra cables or adapters to work with the older standard.
- alex-mohr 7y agoChargers are finally coming: here's one that does 48w from one usb-c port or 30w+18w from 2 ports (plus 2 usb-a), plenty for a non-gaming laptop and phone: https://www.amazon.com/Universal-International-Worldwide-Multi-Nation-Countries/dp/B0785QS46W/ref=mp_s_a_1_12 https://www.amazon.com/Universal-International-Worldwide-Mul.... I have one and it works fine. Only battery pack with 2 usb-c seems to be the ZMI Ambi: https://www.amazon.com/ZMI-PowerPack-Ambi-USB-C-Power/dp/B07N7ZQ68Z https://www.amazon.com/ZMI-PowerPack-Ambi-USB-C-Power/dp/B07....
- callmeal 7y agoAnker[0] has a dual usb-c power adapter. Comes in handy while traveling. [0] : https://www.anker.com/products/variant/powerport-atom-pd-2/A2029121 https://www.anker.com/products/variant/powerport-atom-pd-2/A...
- notacoward 7y agoCool. I have the single-port Atom and love it. Nice to see these are finally appearing on the market.
- boulos 7y agoI recommend the dual-port 60W Anker: https://www.anker.com/products/variant/powerport-atom-pd-2/A2029121 https://www.anker.com/products/variant/powerport-atom-pd-2/A... It'll do 60W from one (laptop), or 2x30W and is fairly compact. So I amusingly now have lightning to USB (damn you Apple), and also bring a single USB-A to USB-C adapter sometimes (e.g., for a Fitbit charging cable).
