Reddit reviews USB Wall Charger [GaN Tech], RAVPower 45W PD USB-C Charger Type-C Power Delivery Adapter, Ultra-Compact Compatible with iPhone 11/ Pro/Max, MacBook, Dell Xps 15 13, iPad Pro 2018 and More(White)

Also note

1. Mu One extremely small 45W charger with very nifty international charger heads.
   
2. RAVpower 45w this is the exact same charger without the nifty heads, just a folding US plug.
   
   These are, by far the smallest chargers.
   
   Finally, the new RAVpower 61w is not as small as the Innergie it's still small, adds a USB A and costs a third of that.

I LOVE this one from RavPower:

It’s 75g, and I use it when I travel with my 13” macbook pro, nintendo switch, and/or surface go. It charges all of those without issue, as well as my iPhone, apple watch, etc.

It’s lighter because it uses a new tech instead of your standard silicone design, from what I understand.

The RavPower gallium nitride charger is $8 more, roughly the same size folded up, and 45W

What you are doing is dangerous, I strongly recommend you just throw that dongle away.

You CANNOT go from USB Type-C to any other type of port with a dongle. That is explicitly forbidden by the USB spec for good reason, as USB C can supply such high amounts of charge, converting blindly to other ports can cause fires.

The short answer to your problem, is you're going to need to buy a USB Type-C to mini/micro USB cable, and not a dongle. The cable will know it's only a mini/micro port and be incapable of charging at the full USB Type-C speeds, but it will charge your speaker properly.

The dongle you own is trying to trick the USB C cable into working with a different type of port, which is why it could be very dangerous because the USB cable itself doesn't know what type of charge to properly send.

If you want to use a dongle, you have to go the other direction, with micro/mini to USB C, which will then limit USB C to the slow charge speed that the cable can actually handle.

EDIT: Just to note, since your pictures are very vague. If that Samsung charger does not have a detachable cable, you'll also need a different charger, where the USB C cable is detachable.

Here are some suggestions to get you down to just a single charger and 1/2 cables:

Chargers:

• Anker 18w
  
• Scoshe Dual 18w
  
• Anker 30w
  
• RAVPower 45w
  
• Inatek Dual 15/45w or Single 60w
  
• Anker 60w
  
  
  Cables:
  
  
• USB Type-C to Mini USB
  
• USB Type-C to Micro USB
  
• USB Type-C to Type-C
  
  As a final note, you can also find dongles similar to what you have already, but they need to be the opposite of what you have. The dongle should always have the male part as USB Type-C, with the female part being Mini or Micro, such as this dongle. Just be aware whenever you do that, you're giving up some potential charging speed, as you're then limited to the older cable's specs. For example, that Samsung charger you have might be around 18w if it came with a phone or 30w if it came with a Chromebook, but if you charge with a micro cable, it would be limited to somewhere between 5-15w.

Yes! Thank you! I've been waiting fora good sale on the RAVPower PD Pioneer 45W GaN , double discount worked on the white version, but not the black version.

I couldn't get this to charge from modern PD usb-c chargers, like these 3: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RFKY1PT
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H9WPCFK
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PXGT2ZX

​

It does charge when plugged into my macbook or via a usb to usb-c cable to something like an older samsung phone charger.

May 13, 2019, RAVPower will release their new PD Pioneer charger, the 61W Wall Charger, for $43.99.

Nearly half smaller than the Apple 61W charger, [RAVPower PD Pioneer 61W Wall Charger](RAVPower PD Pioneer 61W Wall Charger) has become the smallest charger among the Power Delivery Pioneer series. With Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology, 61W GaN Wall Charger can power all devices at unprecedented speeds up to 2.5X faster than the standard 1A with USB-C output.

Like the RAVPower 45W Type-C Power Delivery Wall Charger, 61W GaN Wall Charger has leveraged the many benefits brought about by GaN technologies, making the size of the Wall Charger smaller than all the chargers that with similar power in the market, yet with higher efficiency and better Charging performance. Ultra-compact, incredibly lightweight with foldable pins, this is the ultimate take-anywhere charger to use on the go.\

Increased focus on creating a seamless user experience, RAVPower’s 61W output backward compatibles with all USB-charged devices, including smart phones, tablets, laptops, game players and any other USB-charged device. Especially designed for MacBook Air 2018 which requires a 61W PD charger.

The 61W GaN Wall Charger is setting to go on pre-sale on May 13th for $43.99

You can tuck the first one in between pretty much anything else on a power strip. It is small, and it'll keep up with power draw unless you're playing heavy games all the time. Even at that, your system's battery can cover the power deficit for a looong time.

​

You might also want the second one for its flatness (great in your laptop's bag), and how it can tuck in to an outlet buried behind furniture. At 45 watts it should always be on top of your laptop's draw. (I have both for my L480)

No - this one. Looks like the white is on sale... I tried pulling up my order to see how much I originally paid but it's not coming up. I picked up the black one a while back - and the picture now looks glossy, at least on the sides. Mine is completely matte. It appears to be the same product, though. DO note that the 12V contract is 3A, so that'll max out at 36W - you'll want to get the 15V cable in that case. Check out the pictures for an idea of the size - I bought a handful of highly rated PD chargers and that's the one I carry around with me when I travel. Looks like Anker is also selling a similar one now, but it's 30W max.

Yep - Agree completely on the Surface Pen. I think hardware wise it's totally fine, it's just the SW integration is never pen first on Windows that I've found. If you find a good app, it's kind of a pain on moving the files around from a "workflow" perspective.

I'm not a huge fan of the apple "way" either - but the focus on user experience (and restraint) has me at least exploring. Not sure I'll be sticking with all the devices in the long run, but for now the iPad Pro has been surprisingly usable. I'm trying to challenge my limiting mindset preference for Windows as "I use it because it's what I've always used" - if my experiment actually reveals macOS is worse for my needs, I'll switch back (at least on desktop/"real" OS side).

Anyways, good luck!

Edit: Just for completeness - the cable I used looks like this:

I want to say I got the J-go one, but my order isn't showing up... I must have placed it on an old work account :(

I remember reading some of these cables have a problem where they are powered up before connecting to the surface, so it can have a dangerous short - definitely read the reviews. The new ones seem a LOT cheaper - maybe they've fixed issues and gone more mass market...
