Hi, i did find some new and interesting devices (usb power supplies/chargers).
Could be interesting for your queue
Most interesting would be your review of the YZXStudio Power Bank:

Sometimes I get excited about flashlights, batteries, power banks and measuring gizmos. But probably never as much as about the newest YZXStudio 8. gen power bank. Here’s some of my impressions.
YZXStudio is famous for its accurate and advanced USB power meters and DC loads. Check out HKJ’s reviews of the 1270 (Test of USB YZXStudio ZY1270 ) and 1266 (Test of USB YZXStudio ZY1266 ). With logging capabilities they offer comprehensive testing of…
Powerbank which delivers 3A/5V via USB-C:

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)

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.

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.

Hello HKJ,
i found nice powerbanks and two interesting (wall) chargers:

100% Silicon Nanowire Technology: Maximizes the content of active silicon, ensuring optimal conductivity and a long life cycle Huge Capacity & High-Speed Charging: 20,000mAh is enough to charge an iPhone 11 more than 5 times over. With PD 3.0 and...

The first power bank looks really nice, but I will take it a bit easy with ordering more stuff for review. I already have a lot of items on the way and in queue.

I'm sure HKJ will review one if you send him one. I would :)
You always seem to come up with quite costly things...

These power banks are definitely on the expensive side, I must admit I would like one. I am not going to buy one this month and probably not next month either, I have way to much “junk” in queue and I have used a bit much money recently (Bench DMM’s and other test equipment are not cheap).
But when my current queue is running low I may return to that list again and maybe order one of them.

While browsing around, I came across some reviewers of USB-C cables and USB-C chargers, maybe they’ll be useful for reference:
reviews of USB-C stuff by Nathan K.
https://plus.google.com/collection/UQ94NB
reviews of USB-C stuff by Benson Leung
https://plus.google.com/collection/s0Inv
and a Google spreadsheet summary of USB-C PD chargers and cables:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vnpEXfo2HCGADdd9G2x9dMDWqENiY2kgBJUu29f_TX8/pubhtml#
(if the above link doesn’t work, I got it from below:)
OK, so for car chargers, I am not clear on the best charger to use with a Pixel.
Not sure the question got answered about the real-life advantages of the Belkin PD car charger.
Any updates or clarity on this topic?
Look for a USB Type-C power...
seems like the Apple 87w USB-C PD power adapter is the highest-wattage USB-C PD power supply listed at the moment

That looks exactly like the Prufen Smart Cable from last year’s KickStarter project. There is a slightly updated version of it with auto-timer off (I think that’s the main difference of the revised version released this year). I think it’s available only in Singapore or ordered online from there (I believe the creator is a Singaporean).
See here (video explains the features):
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1633003644/worlds-first-usb-cable-w-safety-features-and-mah-m/description
http://prufen.com/landing-page/
some news release info and documentation (Word):
Singapore, Singapore (PRWEB) April 04, 2017 -- Prufen Smart USB Cable is the World's First with Auto-Off Timer, mAh Meter, Auto-Stop function against Temperature Overheating, USB Power Overload and Abnormal High Charging Current.
Perhaps Mr. DodgeReviews would be able to source it and make a review…

That link is useful to read about it, but they do not sell it (Except if you need many).
