Chargers

Wall and car chargers with real USB-C Power Delivery, from 25 W units that refill a phone over lunch to 65 W GaN chargers that will run a laptop and two phones at once. All fitted for South African sockets and stocked in Johannesburg.

Watts describe how fast a charger can deliver power, not how fast your device will accept it. An iPhone tops out around 27 W and a typical Android between 25 and 45 W, so a 65 W charger will not make either one charge faster. Where the extra headroom earns its money is laptops, tablets, and charging several things at once without everything slowing to a crawl.

Here is the part most listings leave out. A multi-port charger splits its wattage, it does not multiply it. Plug two devices into a 65 W three-port charger and it typically becomes 45 W and 18 W, not 65 W each. That is normal and it is how the standard works, but it matters when you are buying for a desk that has to run a laptop and a phone together. We publish the per-port split on every multi-port charger we sell.

Two things worth checking before you buy anywhere. GaN chargers run cooler and pack more power into less space than older silicon ones, which is why a modern 65 W brick is smaller than a 20 W charger from five years ago. And plenty of imported chargers arrive with a two-pin European plug that will not fit a standard South African wall socket. Ours are supplied to work here without an adapter hunt.

Free delivery on orders over R750, 30 days to change your mind, and six months of cover if anything turns out to be faulty.
