11 USB-C Power Delivery and wireless charger deals to keep you energized on Cyber Monday
Let’s face it. Even if manufacturers still included wall chargers in the box with their newsmartphones, most of us probably wouldn’t be satisfied with the snail’s pace at which standard current charging works. Thanks to the wide selection of aftermarket USB-C Power Delivery and wireless chargers, you’ve got plenty of options that will accommodate your phone’s specific flavor of fast charging. And thanks toCyber Monday, many of these great chargers are seeing significant discounts.
Best Cyber Monday charger deals
If you’re looking for compact and simple but don’t want to sacrifice fast charging, the Anker Nano 3 is a great choice. It peaks at 30 watts and supports the PPS technology needed to accommodate fast charging in some high-end phones. And like most Anker’s products, it’s exceptionally reliable.
This one’s a similar size to the tiny and relatively slow wall warts that new smartphones once came with. While it can’t quite take full advantage of the best fast-charging methods, its 30-watt capacity is nothing to sneeze at.
Especially when it’s 25% off like right now, this is the perfect replacement for a modern laptop’s power brick. Two USB Type-C and one Type-A ports combine to deliver a maximum of 100 watts to any device. That’s enough to charge a MacBook Pro and most other laptops at full speed. It’s also compatible with nearly every smartphone fast charging protocol, including Samsung’s Super Fast Charging.
100 watts is quite a bit of power, in some ways. This three-port charger is ideal for powering any laptop that supports the USB Power Delivery protocol, which includes all modern Chromebooks and most new Windows machines. It even supports the PPS technology that some fast charging requires.
It’s moderately priced to begin with, but a 25% holiday discount makes it hard to pass up the convenient three-port charger. A maximum output of 65 watts allows it to charge a wide variety of today’s laptops, while PPS support ensures it’s compatible with advanced fast charging protocols. There’s even a three-year warranty that provides peace of mind.
If you don’t need a full 100 watts for your computer and other electronics, this three-port option from Tecknet is more economical than most others but offers a lower peak output by 25%. But it can still charge Chromebooks and many Windows laptops, especially with Intel Evo certification.
Samsung’s newest smartphones, and this charger, use a technology called PPS, which lets a device alter a charging current in real time and promises optimized charging without damaging any power cells. High-end Galaxy devices can even use up to 45 watts, which just so happens to be this charger’s peak output. It’s normally pretty expensive for a one-port charger, but for the rest of the 2022 buying holiday, it’s a great, reasonably-priced choice to go alongside your premium Samsung phone.
Samsung’s Super Fast Charging is guaranteed to work with this one, but it’s traditionally pretty expensive for a one-port power adapter. During the rest of the Cyber Monday sale, though, it will remain reasonably priced.
Thanks to its use of highly efficient gallium nitride transistors (as opposed to the silicon found in most electronics), this 65-watt Baseus charger is relatively compact and lightweight for something so powerful. With three ports, it can juice up any smartphone, many laptops, and a wide range of other electronics simultaneously. It wasn’t expensive to begin with, but it’s an impressive 40% off for the rest of Cyber Monday.
This one’s really similar to the Tecknet model that we also recommend, but it’s actually a touch more compact. Baseus also makes somegreat portable power banksworth considering, which will work perfectly in conjunction with this charger.
Spigen makes a lot of great phone accessories, including this dual-port ArcStation car charger that supports the USB Power Delivery protocol at up to 65 watts total, and 45 watts from a single port. It’s small, unassuming, and looks nice enough to go well with any car’s decor. It’s currently priced at just over $20 for the next few days, so it’s the perfect pickup if you need to keep your devices topped up while on the go. It can even accommodate many modern high-efficiency laptops.
As the editor’s choice pick in our roundup ofquality car chargers, this is one of the most useful options for refueling your devices while driving around. The only drawback is that it doesn’t support the PPS technology required by Samsung’s 45-watt Super Fast Charging.
Best wireless charging pad deals
To get the most out of your wireless charging experience, you’ll need a 15-watt charging pad like this one from Mophie. At 50% off for the rest of Cyber Monday’s events, it’s hard to ignore, especially if you’re without a wireless charger or are stuck with one limited to 7.5 watts (which doesn’t charge very quickly). Not only is this one efficient and effective, but its fabric covering is also slightly more classy than the hardened material most use.
It has a premium feel and appearance, plenty of coils for easy phone placement, and for the rest of the Cyber Monday sale is about as cheap as you’ll find a wireless charger from a reputable brand. Its 15-watt output should max out any device that supports wireless charging.
OEM accessories are sometimes considered more reliable than third-party gear, so consider Samsung’s 15-watt Wireless Charger Duo if you want to power up your late-model Galaxy smartphone quickly, but without plugging it in. It sports a small, nearly silent cooling fan to avoid any worry of overheating and encourage efficient operation. You can use 15-watt Super Fast Charging on one pad while simultaneously using standard Qi charging on the other.For now, during Cyber Monday sales, Amazon ships it with a 25-watt wall charger and cable included, while Best Buy offers it with just the cable.
For peak performance and reliability, it can’t hurt to go with the OEM Samsung Duo wireless charging pad. It’s one of the few with an integrated cooling fan, which both ensures safety and helps keep the circuitry efficient. Thanks to the sale, it’s not super expensive right now.
Best USB-C charging cable deals
Most people won’t be able to take full advantage of this top-of-the-line cable from connectivity leader Belkin. But if you need something that supports the advanced Thunderbolt 4 standard, this is the one to get. It delivers the required minimum and maximum throughput and other performance metrics that the latest Thunderbolt protocol calls for. Both the standard one-meter and active two-meter versions are on sale for Cyber Monday, with the active one at a significant $20 discount.
Belkin is one of the most known names worldwide regarding connectivity; this cable is an example of why. With only premium devices taking advantage of Thunderbolt 4 for the time being, Belkin is one of the few manufacturers to supply standard and active TB4 cables.
A USB-C cable doesn’t have to be fancy, but it does have to be rugged and reliable. Like most Anker products, the 333 cable is exactly that. It comes in black, silver, or red and sports durable aluminum plug housings and a professional-grade woven nylon shell, and you’re able to choose from 1m, 2m, and 3m versions. It’s an especially worthwhile choice between Black Friday and Cyber Monday because it’s only about $15 for a pair of 2m cables.
It’s always worth considering Anker chargers and cables, and this two-pack lets you get your hands on a couple for cheap. There’s even a bright red one if you want to add a little color to your life.
As USB-C cables go, this well-made offering is pretty standard. We’re highlighting it for Cyber Monday because both the 6- and 10-foot options are nearly 50% off, and there’s nothing like a super-long charging cable to keep your phone charged while you lay in bed and stare at it. A metal housing, rugged rubber collar, and braided nylon shell ensure it should last quite a long time as long as you don’t abuse it. It can accommodate up to 100 watts of the Power Delivery protocol and comes in three lengths from 6 to 15 feet.
Uni’s host of great USB hubs and adapters means it also makes great cables. And if you want something really long, it’s offering a great deal on a ten-footer for the remainder of Cyber Monday.
As you can see, not all chargers are created equally. confirm you’re getting something that has the wattage and charging tech you need, but is small enough to carry around without hassle.
