One good charger, one power bank, one adapter. That covers almost every trip.
A single GaN charger with several USB-C ports replaces the pile of chargers most people pack. Keep power banks in your cabin bag: airlines do not allow them in checked luggage.
Power bank
Several phone charges or a laptop top-up on long travel days.
Enough capacity for a long-haul day and USB-C fast charging. Power banks belong in your cabin bag, never in checked luggage, and some airlines restrict using them on board.

One charger for phone, tablet and laptop at once.
GaN technology keeps it small for its power. Multiple USB-C ports mean one plug in the hotel room instead of three.
Check current price →Travel charger
A charger with swappable plug heads for different countries.
Change the plug, not the charger. Fewer adapters in the bag and a single charger for every trip.

The one adapter worth buying if you visit more than one region a year.
