Satechi Model: Dual Type-C PD

Satechi Dual Type-C PD is the latest charger to join the Satechi series of device chargers.

Satechi learned that most important to business travelers is “speed of charging as oftentimes you are only in the charging place for a limited amount of time, so the more charge you can get in your window of opportunity the better.” And speed is what the company hopes Satechi will be best known, “Specializing is the way to go, especially as most people are brand loyal, so their devices will have similarly charging cables, etc.” Satechi found that going for a streamlined, compact size was essential, too, because “cumbersome chargers are a pain to travel with.”

The Powerbar by Jackery

Reps said the Powerbar has “an ultra-high capacity of fully charging a laptop or charging a cel phone up to eight times. It can be taken on a flight and charge both a laptop and cel phone at the same time, yet can fit in a briefcase, or even a laptop case. 

When designing a new product, “it has to be an upgrade over what they currently have or you won’t be able to break into the market,” said Steve Foley of Bulk Memory Cards. “You have to add charging capacity, efficiency, additional features, or all of the above.”

myCharge Hub Turbo

Reps said the myCharge Hub Turbo is the first charger to feature a built-in Apple lightning cable and a USB-C cable that push both Power Delivery and Qualcomm Quick Charge for a recharge up to 75% faster than a traditional charger or power block.

Regarding travel chargers, “It is all about convenience,” the rep added. “With the Hub chargers, they have built-in charging cords as well as wall prongs on the back to directly recharge the unit. Travelers do not want to deal with trying to remember to pack all of the charging cords needed, let alone waste time trying to untangle them. We came out with the original model that had built-in Apple lightning and micro-USB cables because the most popular phones on the market at the time used these to recharge, but then we released the HubPlus-C that features micro/USB-C, which was targeted to Android users.”

PureGear PureJuice 10K PD Portable Charger

“Portability is one thing, but how fast you can charge your device in the short duration of travel is also very important,” PureGear’s Arthur Chen said. “The last thing you want is to only get a few percentages juice after being plugged into a powerbank during your 30 minute commute.”

The charger works for both IOS and android devices. “We implement smart detect technology in our chargers to facilitate this, designing the output spec of each of our chargers strategically to different handset and user profiles,” Chen added. “Our new PD line up, for example, include models with 18W outputs catered to iPhone users as well as 45W outputs for the more power hungry 5G Samsung phones.”
