That's still fine for overnight charging and smaller devices, no? In my opinion, these chargers seem perfectly usable.
Limit your max battery charge to 80% and an USB cable that can't handle much power for overnight, but a different cable if you need more power for a faster charge.
- 15 W still charges most devices relatively quickly, unless you are using something with an unusually large battery.
- A pair of chargers like in this deal are an inexpensive way to provide a pair extra chargers to leave around the house. Or to bring on family vacations. Charging speed is often a second priority compared to simply having enough convenient charging spots.
- Even 5 W chargers have their place. I wouldn't pay for them. But I keep spares around to power random things like LED lights or a cheap headset.
- Devices tend to use use less wattage for charging as the battery fills up. That means a phone that can use a 30 W charger will only use the full 30 W during the beginning. The average wattage charging a device from 0% to 100% would be much lower than 30 W.
- You talked about future-proofing, but failed to mention anything about the various levels of PD and PPS. PPS especially allows newer phones to gradually adjust their voltage and amperage throughout the charging process and maximize charging speeds. So while a laptop might need a 65 W charger, many phones will charge faster on a 20-30 W charger with PPS than a 65 W PD 2.0 charger.
My details above aren't about being hard facts, but generalizations to consider. The real lessons are that there a multitude of use cases USB charges, the needs vary a lot, and there are other details to consider other than just the total potential wattage.Sign up for a Slickdeals account to remove this ad.
