Top 10 Sharkk USB Chargers
for December 2023

The Anker PowerCore+ 20100 PD ($35) is our favorite USB wall charger, thanks to its powerful and fast charging, compact size, and long battery life. Anker's PowerCore+ 20100 PD has three USB-A ports, which can each deliver 2.1 amps, for a total of 6.1 amps. That power - along with Anker's PowerIQ and VoltageBoost technologies - means it can charge any USB-compatible phone or tablet, including Apple's latest iPhone 11 Pro Max, at 50% faster than a standard charger. The Anker PowerCore+ 20100 PD also delivers the fastest charge to Apple's latest iPhone 11 Pro Max, and faster than the average charger for most other smartphones. Anker backs its chargers with a 18-month warranty and customer service team.

The SHARKK USB SYNC Power Charger Cable Cord for SHARKK Bluetooth Boombox Speaker is shorter and lighter than its predecessor, but it still works well for charging and syncing devices. The cord's length makes it suitable for charging phones in cars, but it also works well for charging other devices at home, and it's light and compact enough to carry in your pocket. The cable is black, which makes it a good match for the boombox's white finish. The cord's USB end has a male Mini-B connector, which is compatible with most USB devices, and it also has a 3.5mm audio jack, which is compatible with most MP3 players and portable audio devices. The cord's charge and sync functions are fast and easy, and we found it worked reliably with all of our devices. The cable is long enough for charging phones in the car or at home, but it's short enough for easy portability. The 3.5mm audio jack is also suitable for carrying along in a backpack.

The AILKIN 2.4A Wall Charger Plug is a handy and lightweight travel charger that plugs into virtually any wall outlet. It's practical enough for everyday home use, but it's small enough that you can easily bring it with you on trips. The charger features a 2.4A input, which can handle most smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices. The charger's output is 2.4A, which is fast enough to charge most phones and tablets, but it's slower than the 3.4A output on our top pick. The charger's only drawback is that it doesn't support Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0, so you'll have to wait longer to charge your phone. The charger's design is simple and intuitive, and it's small enough to fit in a purse or backpack. The charger's two ports are spaced far apart, so charging two devices simultaneously is impossible, but it's perfect for charging one device, especially if it's a large phone or a tablet. The charger's LED indicator lights show how much power the charger has, and unlike some chargers, the AILKIN's indicator lights stay lit even when the charger isn't being used. The charger's compact size, light weight, and low price make it a great choice for anyone looking for a travel charger that plugs directly into a wall outlet, and it's the only charger we tested that supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0.

The Anker Elite Dual Port 24W Wall Charger is our favorite travel charger because not only is it compact, foldable, and 100-240 volt input compatible, but it also supports Qualcomm Quick Charge and PowerIQ to ensure the fastest possible charging speeds. The Anker Elite Dual Port 24W Wall Charger has fast-charging ports on both of its sides, as well as a fast-charging USB port on one of its sides.

The AUNC 3-pack 6FT Lightning cables are well designed, well-made, and smooth, making them our pick for best iPhone charger. They're also among the fastest cables we tested. These cables offer dual functionality: They can charge and sync your iOS device and they pack two 1.5-foot Lightning connectors into one 6-foot cable, so they're easy to stow when you're not using them. The AUNC cables are slightly thicker than standard Lightning cables, but they're also slightly heavier, so they're less convenient to carry around. They deliver fast charge and sync speeds, and they're compatible with all versions of iPhone, iPad, and iPod. The AUNC cables come with a 1-year warranty.

The adapter itself also charges quickly, and we found that it reached full charge within 4 hours. The adapter is compact and lightweight, making it suitable for travel, and it comes with three extra tips in case you'd like to share or loan it to someone else.

The FOBSUNLAND USB Wall Charger is a well-designed, compact, and easy-to-use charger with fast charging speed. Our tests showed that it charges our iPhones (including the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro) and iPads (including the iPad 11 and 10) very quickly. The charger's 2.1A output is strong enough to fully charge an iPhone 11 or 11 Pro battery in about 90 minutes, and it even charges our 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display in about 2 hours. The charger is small enough to fit in your pocket or a bag, and with the provided rubber housing, it won't scratch your smartphone or tablet. The charger also charges other USB devices, such as keyboards, mice, and portable hard drives, which you can't charge with iPhones or iPads because of their power draw. The charger is 1.9 inches high, 1.6 inches wide, and 0.9 inches thick, and it weighs less than 1.5 ounces. The charger includes 2 USB outlets, so you can charge 2 devices at a time. The charger does not come with a cable for connecting it to a power source, so you'll need to purchase one separately.

The AILKIN 2.1Amp Dual Port Quick Charge USB Wall Charger is compact and portable, but it packs a lot of power into its 3.5-inch cube. The five ports give you three USB outputs and two USB-C outputs, allowing you charge five devices at once. The ports are spaced far enough apart that charging multiple devices won't cause usher each other. The wall charger is also effective with Android phones, including the new Pixel 6, and it supports fast charging. The charger is easy to set up, and it's simple to connect the charger to an outlet and a device. The wall charger also gets power from the wall, so you'll always be able to charge a device directly. The wall charger's USB-C output supports 60W charging, so it's powerful enough to charge an iPhone Xs Max or a Nokia 6 almost twice as fast as an iPhone X. The wall charger is also compatible with fast-charging-capable, so you'll be able to quickly charge most Android phones, including the new Pixel 5 and 6, and Nokia 6. The wall charger's quality is decent, but it's a bit pricey, but it's well worth it if you're frequently charging multiple devices.

The USB Charger Station is an impressive 10-port USB charger, with the fastest possible charging speeds for all of your devices. It's compatible with a wide range of devices, from iPhone to Samsung, from iPad to MacBook, and, thanks to its 60W total output, it can quickly charge up to four devices at once. It has two 3.0A ports and four 1.0A ports, with fast charging enabled for compatible devices. That's twice as fast as the Nomad 7.0, our former top pick, and it's substantially faster than any 5-port USB charger we tested. It's also a lot more versatile than Nomad's model, since it's a 10-port charger, rather than a 7-port charger, and it's compatible with a wider range of devices. However, it's a lot bulkier than most 5-port USB chargers we tested, and it doesn't come with any charging cables or adapters, so you'll need to bring your own.

There are two big problems with Apple's 5W charger: it's slow, and it's expensive. The 20W Fast Charger Adapter from Aukey solves both those problems. The adapter is much faster than the Apple charger, and it's significantly cheaper, too. It offers two USB Type C ports, so you can charge two devices at the same time. It's also equipped with power delivery, so it supports fast charging (up to 20W), which is much faster than the 5W charger Apple ships with the iPhone 13. The adapter's USB Type C port is also backward compatible with all devices equipped with USB Type A ports, such as Android phones, tablets, and PCs. The adapter also protects your phone from overcharging, overcurrent, and short-circuiting. It's well-built, and it includes a USB-C cable, a USB-C travel wall charger, and a USB Type C to USB Type A cable. The adapter is small enough to fit in your pocket, so you can take it with you on trips.
