Review request for HKJ [USB Power Devices]

Thanks, I will be looking on some of these meters.
Now I also needs a real usb-c power supply with 20V 5A, anybody have a good idea where I can find one.

With power/energy meters I prefer to test currents ones, I have publishes a test of one more and I have one more in queue.

How about these 87W power supplies:

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B071KSKDFJ/

Anker already offers 60W:

I found a powerbank with 100W USB-C:

There’s a review of USB-C power supplies in the german c’t magazine:
https://www.heise.de/ct/ausgabe/2017-6-Vier-Steckernetzteile-mit-USB-C-Buchse-im-Vergleich-3635812.html

The Apple one is the most interesting one, but I am lacking more detailed specifications.

The c’t looks (You have to pay for the full article) to be about the same usb-c types I have been reviewing, not the smart ones.

Apple is not the best solution for technical innovations (first iPhone even hasn’t GPS and UMTS like Nokia had).

Found some Chargers up to 90W:

There’s a QC 3.0 device list, maybe there are some more power supplies listed.

That is not what I am looking for. I has to be a USB Type-C charger with 100W, not a Quick charger or docking station (That delivers power on some other connector).

I don’t understand why output has to be 100W, yet there are no known devices which can request 100W power.

It do not need to, but for testing it would be nice to cover the full usb-c power range. I nothing better shows up I will probably start with the Apple.

Would be interesting :slight_smile:

Found another USB Type-C voltmeter:

And thanks for the now brand new JustMobile AluCharge review :wink:

How about:

  • a 20A 5V Meanwell-Power-Supply?

What I want is something that understand and reacts to the usb-c commands for power delivery. This is much more complicated than Quick Charge and not something I want to make myself.

Hi, i did find some new and interesting devices (usb power supplies/chargers).
Could be interesting for your queue :slight_smile:

Most interesting would be your review of the YZXStudio Power Bank:

Powerbank which delivers 3A/5V via USB-C:

USB charger with reversible plugs (so work with every cable besides the reversibled ones like fom Blitzwolf)
http://www.raidsonic.de/en/standards/searchresults.php?we_objectID=3559

USB charger with integrated Current and Voltage meter for 1/4 ports (1x QC2.0)
http://www.raidsonic.de/en/standards/searchresults.php?we_objectID=3373

USB charger with current and voltage meter for every of each 6 2.4A Ports:
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01N07MW4G/

12V car USB charger with very slim case:

Saw another energy/power meter from ZhuRui-Tec:

LPT200 Lamp Parameter Tester (the name says it’s designed to test LED lights, but the item’s description notes that it can be used to test electrical consumption of most electric appliances)

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/LPT200-LCD-TFT-lamp-tester-AC-power-meter-2500W-power-energy-kwh-voltage-current-substitute-for/1564283122.html

I bought this one a few weeks back and was rather annoyed when I got it. Plug in my Nexus 6P, plug in my USB-C supply and it’ll show ~1.7A and wont “fast charge”. The phone realises something else is in line and doesn’t fast charge. Annoying.

I may look at them later, just know I have enough in queue

I doubt it, it is rather difficult to get ready made.

I have already reviews that usb charger, probably with another name on it.

I will think about it.

Review is nearly finished.

Converting any USB QC power source into an universal 5-20V power adapter:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1PCS-QC2-0-qc3-0-Tester-Automatically-Detects-Phone-Quick-Charge-Voltage-Meter-Simulator-Trigger-9V/32771660912.html

I have looked at something like that before: Test of USB QC2-3-MTK-PE Trigger J7-t

One problem is that it can easily damage a normal usb device, because the output is a usb connector.

I have ordered one, if I get the time I will review it.

Great, thanks for your link and the review!

Found an powermeter similiar to YZXStudio, but even more advanced (lots of features, logs, calibration, graphs, etc.):
https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-POWER%25252dZ.html?spm=2114.search0104.0.0.pQPV2d&initiative_id=SB_20170815113001&site=glo&groupsort=1&SortType=price_asc&g=y&SearchText=POWER-Z
https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_dp_s_web_0?ie=UTF8&search-alias=aps&field-keywords=ChargerLAB

I already have that power meter on the way, but I will not promise anything about when I do a review.
