If you’re traveling, you’d benefit from a fast-charging USB-C power adapter that’s as compact as they come. Toss your old, slow one and replace it with this Anker Nano 45W GaN Charger with a USB-C port, smart digital display, and two charging modes. It’s now 25% off at Amazon, bringing its price down to $30.
Delivering up to 45W of power, it’s fast enough to juice up your phone, tablet, earbuds, or whatever else within an hour—except a laptop. For that, you’ll want a charger that’s 100W or greater. Still, it’s handy to have one of these around for all the other gadgets in your life.
Built with GaN technology, it’s smaller and more power efficient than traditional non-GaN chargers. It’s also better at monitoring device temperature, with a Care Mode that slows down charging speed while also lowering temperature—great for overnight plug-ins. Use the digital display to see real-time charging status.
Lastly, the foldable prongs make this perfect for safe traveling. Not only do they tuck away when not in use, but you can actually orient the prongs in 90-degree or 180-degree fashion, providing more flexibility when plugging into outlets in tight spots. For $30, it’s a solid get, especially if you’re still wasting time with a slow-charging adapter from yesteryear.
