Frequently Asked Questions
There are a couple of different things to consider when choosing a charger:
Charging speed
The higher the power of the charger, the quicker it can restore energy to your device. You should also keep an eye out for models that feature "Quick Charge".
Number of ports
Want to charge more than one device at a time? Choosing a model with multiple ports means you can restore power to multiple devices at the same time.
Check the charger's compatibility with your device, the charging speed (measured in amperage and wattage), the number of charging ports, and any additional features like quick charge technology or multi-device support.
Yes. USB charging is typically "smart" — the charger provides only as much power as the device requests. For example, using a 65W charger on a phone that only draws 18W is safe. The device limits how much it pulls.
MagSafe is Apple's wireless charging technology that provides faster and more efficient charging by using magnets to align the charger with compatible iPhones for optimal performance.
A smartwatch offers features like time display, fitness tracking, heart rate monitoring, GPS navigation, smartphone notifications, music control, and sometimes mobile payments or call functionality.
An item tracker is a small device that helps you locate personal belongings using Bluetooth or GPS technology, usually controlled through a smartphone app.
You can attach them to keys, wallets, bags, backpacks, luggage, remotes, bicycles, or even pet collars—anything you want to keep track of.
Networking powerlines work by transmitting data through your electrical circuits. You plug one adapter into a power outlet near your router and connect it via Ethernet cable, then plug the second adapter into a different outlet to connect to a device like a computer, smart TV, or gaming console.
