How about the YZXstudio QC2VOOC QC to 12-in-1 Flash Charger Adapter ?

Specifically the LeTV QC3.0+MTKPE version (note: this is the YZXstudio store).

Finally there might be a quality MTKPE charger with at least 2A output at 12V.

EDIT:
This one seem even better, it offers the full 2.4A at 12V with MTKPE and you can even change the plug type:

Not a USB device but a 12V DC power adapter with UPS functionality using a standard 18650.

YZX usb meter is very good, but the price is too higher …
but RD (ruideng meter ) is cheaper and have more function.
for “”UM24C”:https://www.aliexpress.com/item/RD-UM24-UM24C-for-APP-USB-2-0-LCD-Display-Voltmeter-ammeter-battery-charge-voltage-current/32845522857.html?spm=2114.12010108.1000023.1.5aa25437tcldCc” and “”UM25C”:https://www.aliexpress.com/item/RD-UM25-UM25C-for-APP-USB-2-0-Type-C-LCD-Voltmeter-ammeter-voltage-current-meter/32855845265.html?spm=2114.10010108.1000023.3.39efe6d4UQtfqh”: , it can support PC software and android APP, APP can support 21 kinds languages
and
APP and PC software can export data by excel. it is easy to research the data…

but YZX meter did not have ,
For UM34C, it support USB 3.0 and Quick charge recognition mode:QC2.0、QC3.0、APPLE 2.4A/2.1A/ 1A/0.5A、Android DCP、SAMSUNG, support support OPPO phone VOOC, OnePlus DASH
Though UM34C and UM25C have Type-c port , but there is not trigger, only support type-c charge, not recognition

although for data or some function, it is not better than YZX meter, but for the price , it is already best …
for USB load, there are many choice , LD25/LD35
If someone need more cheaper meter, but colorful display, there is also choice
AT34

Waiting for everyone to discuss …

Hi HKJ

I would be really interested in your review of the Armytek Handy C1 pro. It looks like an excellent everyday or travel charger, at least on paper.

https://www.armytek.com/products/chargers-and-batteries/chargers/armytek-handy-c1-pro/handy-c1-pro.html

12 USD ? wawo , too expensive, in china , it is about 1.5-3 usd for this same things ….

I do not like is the $10 shipping charge.

Would love to see you review this one HKJ: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/LVSUN-QC-3-0-quick-All-in-1-phone-tablet-charger-laptop-adapter-with-type-c/32814356965.html

4 Quick charge 3.0 ports, 1type-c PD port with 60W output!

Dear HKJ

Would you be able to review this?

Also, after reading your testing methodology, I still cannot understand how you perform the “USB coding test” to determine if it has AUTO CODING capability or not. Is there some device that can test that?

Also besides using an oscilloscope, any way we can test the noisiness of the power supply?

Many thanks & regs

I have a problem testing 4 quick charge at a time and also more than 4 independent ports.

I have ordered one.

YZXStudio ZY1280 and ZL1100 are good for that, then scay for many protocols and list what is supported. Earlier I used a home made device that changed the voltage on the data pins, on the response I could see if it was auto coding.

A AC milivoltmeter, but bandwidth is important, something that just works to a few kHz is not good enough.

That’s the wrong thread for chargers - they have their own thread:

What kind of specs should have an oscilloscope for this job? I ask because the price for the cheapest is around 20 USD (DSO138) but I don`t know if is good enough.

You either have to use fully shielded setup (Cable from charger to scope is shielded) or you need to run you scope on batteries. I do the last and some of the noise is common mode noise from the charger.
The scope needs bandwidth enough, 10MHz would be fine for most cases and a input sensitivity that can can see the noise. I usual record two traces, the one I publish and another one with better sensitivity to read the actual noise level.

A USB type C cable round up would be nice where you test several cables off Amazon and gearbest. Data is very limited on these cables and they are very important and overlooked component.

Look up Dodge_Reviews on Youtube, he also has a spreadsheet testing the resistances of various USB cables (micro-USB, lightning, type-C).

Lameazon and GearCrap?
AliExpress has an insane range at ludicrous prices. Don't see a reason to buy from one of the above.

Of course, can understand each one can have its own preferences.

Cheers :-)
