Extremely small portable USB-PD USB-C power supplies

Hi there,

I would like to gather insight on which, if any, single-port compact USB-PD chargers will reliably deliver 5V 3A to newer GL.iNet devices such as Slate Plus, Beryl AX, Slate AX, etc.

The point of this is to find power supplies that are good for travel and use on a plugstrip:

  • small (GaN based)
  • do not block any adjacent power socket
  • have one (1) USB-A or USB-C port (no integrated cable)
  • have a folding plug
  • will provide up to 5V 3A to any "dumb" device plugged in
  • no "quirks," noisy power, or unreliability at max power draw

Any insight would be appreciated. I will edit this top post with findings from myself and others in the thread.

Personally tested

  • Ugreen CD318 Nexode - US - 20W - [5V 3A; 9V 2.2A; 12V 1.7A; PPS] - Amazon US
    powers newer routers
    not yet tested with connected USB devices
    will not block outlets above/below in most cases
    may block outlets left/right :warning:

  • Spigen PE2009UJ ArcStation Pro - US - 20W - [5V 3A; 9V 2.2A] - Amazon US
    powers newer routers
    not yet tested with connected USB devices
    may block outlets above/below :warning:
    will not block outlets left/right in most cases

I've obtained a Spigen 20W USB-C, a Ugreen 20W USB-C, as well as a 2-port Anker unit for testing. Excited to report back in a few days!

I have been very happy with the uGreen line of products. Only have good things to say about their hardware.
