I have been a bit quite when people is suggesting USB-C PD type chargers, mostly because I could not test them. This has been fixed now and I can run my usual test on all the supported voltages in a charger. The last couple of days I have been testing a few.
I have also added a Paypal account to info@lygte-info.dk if anybody what to help me pay for some of the stuff I test. I cannot promise that any specific request is honored, but I will try.
I do not believe so. Maybe one or two support it in the auto coding, but I have not tested it.
How about the Xiaomi CDQOM06 ?

The review is written, but I do not know when I will publish it. The type number I have is CDQ06ZM
Great to know!
I’d just find some teardown pictures from another site:

HKJ, can you give us a bottom line thumbs up/thumbs down on that Xiaomi charger?
From the sidebar on that review Angerdan suggested, some topical info:
http://chargerlab.com/2018/03/15/amazon-recalls-260k-power-banks-due-to-fire-hazard/
That is a thumbs up, but it has more ports than power.
I have just published the Xiaomi review: Test/review of Xiaomi Mi 60W Fast+QC+PD usb charger CDQ06ZM
Can you confirm the report from Chargerlab about having to plug, unplug, and plug in again to get the Apple charging protocols recognized?

How would a user be able to tell this recognition had happened correctly, without the “Power-Z” test device they used?
No, I did not notice any problem when testing, but i did not try with a IPad.
Was just browsing around in AliExpress and came across this:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/info/32863092690.html
(not sure if something like this has been reviewed before)
it's labeled "smart USB charger" appears to convert DC12-36v into 4-ports USB voltage (supports QC2/3) and also displays the current being supplied (like a USB meter).

Was just browsing around in AliExpress and came across this:
I will take a look at it, but the specifications looks phony: QC2: 5V only, QC3: 5V, 9V, 12V that standard usb and QC2
I like to put this USB meter in:

It has a silver case, unusual futuristic display font and a lot of connectivity.

Hi HKJ,
I’d like a slim, small capacity powerbank, around 3-4000 mAh or so. I’m considering building recycling a smartphone lipo, but I’m also having a look to ready options… these two for example could be interesting, in case you are interested in reviewing them:
Hmm, just my opinion, regarding the low-cost small-capacity powerbanks,
I think there are too many such kinds it may not be possible to do that much “stringent” testing on them — low-cost unbranded items tend to not have that much quality control and while one batch may perform better, the next batch may easily change… at least based on my experience of them. Just my 2 cents worth…
Actually, I have something that looks practically the same as your second link (the one here: https://www.gearbest.com/power-banks/pp_436972.html), someone passed it on to me (my relative got it as a “giveaway” souvenir from some club event).

The seller do not ship to Denmark (Shipping would probably be way to expensive anyway) and I could not find it on Aliexpress or Abay

They are marked as “discontinued” and “out of stock”
