- Why should you get a multi-port GaN PD Wall Charger? The biggest benefit is being able to charge multiple devices at once BUT a quick trip to Amazon results in a ton of products. I’ve bought and tested the most popular ones and here are my Top 5 multi-port 45W to 67W GaN PD Chargers.
Top 5 Multi-Port GaN PD Chargers (with Amazon affiliate links*)
1. Anker 735 GaN Prime 67W Charger (A2669) - mreh.ca/43LOjCE
2. Spigen ArcStation Pro GaN 452 (PE2203UJ) - mreh.ca/43Pkt0b
3. VoltMe Revo 65W GaN Charger - mreh.ca/43R27vM
4. Belkin BoostCharge Pro 45W GaN Charger - mreh.ca/3U7oo43
5. AOHI Magcube PD 40W GaN Charger - mreh.ca/3J64Wzm
*The links have model numbers encoded in them since brands reuse product names
In general, based on my testing, I personally think the 65-67W chargers are going to be the most useful because you get an extra charge port (it is USB-A though) BUT at 65W, I am able to charge my M3 MacBook Pro while gaming without losing any battery power. At a fraction of the size of the normal charger

#1 - Anker 735 GaN Prime 67W Charger (A2669) - mreh.ca/43LOjCE
-It features 67W output across three ports, adapting power distribution (67W solo, 45W and 20W for two ports).
-Although the heaviest, its size is optimized for portability and effective heat management.
-Nice design with blue accents and a reflective finish.
-Performance-wise, it leads, particularly in full capacity tests, and maintains the lowest temperature.
-With its price modestly above average, the newer Anker 735 offers unmatched performance and longevity.
#2 - Spigen ArcStation Pro GaN 452 (PE2203UJ) - mreh.ca/43Pkt0b
-The Spigen ArcStation Pro GaN 452 ranks second, with a newer version outperforming an earlier one with faster charging and foldable prongs.
-Its embossed logo facilitates easier unplugging, and it provides 45W charging, with a 25/20W split if both ports used.

-It has three ports, two Type-C and one Type-A, and stands out with a textured design and orange accents for easy handling and visibility.
-While it can deliver up to 65W through a single port, using multiple ports reduces the output, limiting one device to maximum speed.
-It shines in solo device charging, outperforming others by 16%, but falls slightly behind in multi-device scenarios.
-Its cooler operation during use is a major plus for durability.
-Priced at $25, 40% below average, the VoltMe Revo 65 is an attractive choice for its performance and price.
#4 - Belkin BoostCharge Pro 45W GaN Charger - mreh.ca/3U7oo43
-It delivers 45W, split into 25W and 20W across two ports, requiring strategic device connection for optimal charging.
-Its design is simple, with a white finish and smooth texture, but it stands out for its clearly labeled ports and collapsible prongs, accommodating its larger size.
-Performance-wise, it charges iPhones 10% faster than average and shines in tests with multiple devices, charging 18% faster, although it tends to run hotter than expected.
-Priced at about $30, this charger offers good value, especially considering Belkin's typically higher price point and the charger's superior test results.
#5 - AOHI Magcube PD 40W GaN Charger - mreh.ca/3J64Wzm
-The MagCube features a 40W output in a compact design, with indented sides for easy removal, setting it apart from smoother alternatives.
-It's known for its unique yellow color and an indicator light that signals charging status, enhancing usability.
-While it charges single devices efficiently, offering a 12% faster charge for iPads, it struggles with two large devices, showing a 20% decrease in performance.
-The charger tends to heat up more than others but is optimal for charging a combination of smaller devices.
-Priced at $30, the MagCube is valued for its portability and effective charging of individual devices.

I dont need this right now. But the way you present something makes me think "better watch it, might need this later" 😂
Plz dont stop making content. I literally buy whatever u recommend. I buy my cases, chargers, and screen protectors solely based on ur top pick. Ur a legend man ❤
Great review, as always! Anker 735 rocks in my personal use. I’ve been traveling for 8 months and this unit consistently charges my MacBook Pro, iPad, and iPhone so fast that I don’t even worry about charging anymore. I connect a device and in under 30 minutes I’ve got enough juice to use it for a few hours. No-brainer buy!
great overview and quick run through. this has earned you a subscription!
I believe the reason for the design difference in the Anker plug is due to the taller (older) version having a tendency to fall out of a vertical wall outlet…especially in a frequently used/ worn outlet(e.g., hotel room) This is because the older version of the plug is top heavy. The shorter/stubby (new) version shouldn’t have that problem. However, this newer version will take up more space on most power strips and may not fit as easily into an office desk power supply (e.g., the type built into the top of a lot of corporate conference room desks).
I got the Anker Model number "A2667", which i think is the old version. And it came with a rubber suction cup socket holder. That was VERY nice.
The Voltme 65W is not safety listed. A CE mark is self-declared and thus worthless. Chargers have been known to electrocute people by allowing high voltage to pass through to the low voltage side.
Most chargers under 100W don't have power factor correction and are inefficient. For low power chargers it's not a big deal but at 65W its wasteful.
Some chargers do not meet USB PD voltage specifications, excessively sag under load, or have significant ripple.
Some chargers will overheat and throttle.
Is all of this being tested?
Best tech reviewer out there! Always look at your reviews before anyone else, great videos!
after watching youtube for a decade man you're the best. you beat all ends!
Bro you are looking YAKKED thanks for the inspo 🤘
Great video as always
Please do one on chargers with more power and ports!
I was a day late to this review(s), but I really needed this information for future. Great job! I will use you in the future!
You are the CZcams tester I trust the most. Could you please test and show the best 3in1 charging stands with Qi2/magsafe? THANKS!
Would love a video like this for charging hubs in the 100-140w range, particularly useful to travel with a single chager and a laptop
I really appreciate when it’s easy to pull out.
Today I ordered my Anker 735 charger based on your review. Thanks bro for helping me out 😁
I know videos can’t be infinitely long, but one thing I care about more than anything is footprint. I’m usually in situations where speed of charging doesn’t matter a ton. On the other hand, I frequently find myself short of outlets. Finding a charger that takes up exactly one outlet is tougher than you might think! So many of them encroach on the outlets around them.
Great video!
When traveling a 6" pigtail is indispensable.
Anker makes a single USB-C 30w that only takes up one outlet slot.
I love your “best” videos, because it’s always stuff that as a techie I’m sure n the lookout for. Unfortunately these videos always come out about a month or two after I’ve made my purchases 😂
It’s impossible to test every brand. I’m curious how ugreen chargers stackup tho
0:58 - For the products with indicator lights, I would’ve loved to have seen tests on how those indicator lights affect the ambient light level in a fully dark room?
My thinking here is that sometimes product LEDs might look okay during the daytime-but come nighttime when you’re trying to sleep, they end up illuminating half the room.
Very good point. Manufacturers for some reason feel all their stuff need to have bright shining LEDs all the time.
I appreciate the video. I can finally make an informed decision on which charger to get out of hundreds offered on Amazon.
Love your videos. Would love to see one on gan travel adapters
I have the old #1 version of the Anker. Great to know and see that they have updated it with a second version! Would love to get that new edition one for travel in my tech kit.
Thanks for the reviews, I'm hoping that the Anker is available in the UK. Great dog too!!
Love your videos like these, would love them even more if you had excel files with all the results of the comparisons for those of us looking for a bit more info.
Great video - thanks.
So glad I got the Anker 735 charger. One of the reasons I got it though was that it was one of the few UK style charger which had foldable prongs which is common on US style plugs but not others. The performance has been very good as well.
Thanks a lot.
Especially when it comes to compact multichargers, some of us are traveling worldwide (you know, Digital Nomads), so a test of fitting compact socket adapters for worldwide travel for your multicharger would be great.
Curious to ask, is it better to
1. to use one charger like 735 and then add a plug changer (like changing British to America) to the local charger requirement
2. or is it better to just buy one that has multiple plugs version like the anker powerport 3
3. or those big ass square like chargers that can in and out different versions?
@@wilsonlamlyt7138 Personally, so far I travel with Apple‘s Dual Charger, as only Apple‘s chargers have a solid system with interchangeable wall plug types, which is just much more convenient to use within a country, instead of adding some wobbly lengthy clunky adapter to your charger, that often won‘t attach properly to the wall.
I would love to see a solution with a powerful charger and several outlets, that has an interchangeable system of plugs like Apple does, though.
I'm so fascinated by how well behaved your dog is :D
thank you for doing this!
Now a video on car cig plug ones
Would love to see the overall rankings of all the chargers you reviewed. Would like to see where the one I have stacks up.
I have both versions of the Anker charger. I bought the old one via Costco for full price. Then a few months later, they had the new version plus an extra solo charger for less than I paid for the old one by itself. I bought it just because I couldn’t believe the price drop.
Did you try the INVZI 45w dual usbC charger? I fell down a rabbit hole trying all these and when the kickstarter finally shipped, it is my holy grail. Your #1 was my favorite before that. I now use the INVZI for phone/watch/airpods/kindle etc and travel with an Original Lenovo GaN 65W just for my laptop (this thing is crazy thin)
It'd be great to have one these videos for multi port car charger
Luv ur videos !
Thank you very much just a video I wanted to see 👍👍👍✅✅
Excellent!
Great video.
Anker wins again .... I am probably going to get their Qii2 Charger.
Have you tried the 1-world travel chargers. They have all the same charging credentials, but they are also travel chargers so let you plug something into them. It would be good to see you review those also. There are several out there in addition to 1-world so there are enough for you to get your teeth into if you were so minded. What do you think?
Also - do even recommend them as travel chargers or do you recommend these instead?
I love your Dog he was so good!!🤣🤣
Appreciate the review
When are the Qi2 multi charger reviews coming up?
I agree with someone else’s comment… “better watch it, might need it later.” Often I buy stuff because it’s on sale, current one is getting old or need more functionality. It’s so frustrating when I get it and it doesn’t do what I need or it’s just a piece of crap. So I watch your videos, when the time comes I know if I should buy it and if it’s a good product. Thank you for your unbiased reviews!
I'd really like to see a video like this one on the 100W+ multiports for laptops and then some. Especially laptops like my XPS 13, its super picky on what USB-C chargers it'll ACTUALLY charge on :(
And does cable matter? Love your reviews by the way!!
Excellent video, looking for your next review in the 100-300w range.
67W is not a good choice, it's usually coming with multiple port, but it's inefficient when you charge macbook and ipad/iphone together. Something more powerful, 100w or 150w will be more useful.
Thank you for this!
right now the spigen 65w(PE2204UJ ) is $1 more than the 45w
thank you for including the model item #. much easier to find them that way to make sure we get the EXACT one
Can you do another video on Magsafe battery packs since new ones came out?
I bought your #1 Anker. Plugged my iPad in overnight with a 3’ Apple cord and did not charge. I also have a 10’ Anker USB to USB-C and it seams to charge very slow when it’s the only thing being charged. I think I may have a bad one, BUT does length of cords affect charging?
aohi is the best charger i’ve used ever! the 67W the single type c one truly shows off and barley gets hot.
Have you tested any surge protector or strip plugs with USB C chargers? I have limited space around my outlet and typically have to use a strip plug to get my cords away from the outlet.
Have the old anker charger and got it to charge my drone stuff and works great. Now I use it for my 3 in 1 charger and the second port is a incase of emergency cable for charging my phone.
Would you recommend the minix neo p3? It’s a4 port 100w charger that seems to do it all compared to these 🤔
Hi Monty. Looking good!
Love the pup.
Curious where the ugreen ended up since I’ve heard good things about them.
Hello, can you redo top cases for iPhone 15 as of right now? Many new cases came out and many inflated in prices.
I like the dual port charger from nomad, the one called slim specifically. The flat profile is the best for use in narrow places and for travel. Pair that with mophie/zag’s magsafe 3 in 1 travel wireless charger and you will only need to cables.
I think the Anker is a little bit on the pricey side, any 65w charger that supports most of the fast charging protocols will just get the same job done. Thanks for all the testing, these are really good chargers. BTW, AOHI is pronounced as "au-hai" according to it's Chinese name "奧海" if someone is curious about it.
I look forward to your review of >100W multi-port chargers. I’m interested in your review of Anker 747 150W C$100 vs. Minix 140w C$90.
When travelling, I need to simultaneously charge a MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, and Apple Watch. ( I charge my AirPods through the MacBook.)
It would be nice to have more info on charging standards like PD vs IQ+. I have a camera battery charger that doesn’t function on IQ+ for some reason.
Belkin Dual USBC 65W is very similar to 45W you reviewed, very decent charger for iPhone and MacBook :)
Could you do a comparison for higher wattage adapters 150-200w with 4-6 ports?
Is there a list of accessories you have tested? It’s hard to determine if something not on your top 5 list means it’s not as good or you have not tested it.
Sweet. Confirmed my Anker purchases were justified.
there is the old anker 735 GaN prime A2668 model (the one that was #1 in the best iphone 15 accessories video), and then there's the Nano II 735 model number A2667. Now I'm wonder where the former would rank in this video, since it seems the latter is the one that is used for reference here
Agree with your #1 ranking. But the older 65w version is $20 cheaper at the moment.
Any idea if the UGREEN Nexode 2 Port GaN Foldable 45W with two ports is any decent? Been using it for phones and MacBook airs no problems, just wondering how it would compare to the #2 Spigen since they’re like same specs. Thanks!
I’m using it for almost a year now (the EU version). I’m pretty pleased with the speed, it doesn’t get too hot, very robust feeling/materials/building quality. Of course the charging speeds are great as promised by 45W (or 25W & 20W when both type-c ports used).
7.40 it doesn't matter how big the heat sink is, the heat still has to be dissipated through the case. So, if it's running cooler it's because it working more efficiently and not making unnecessary heat. None-the-less a great review, thank you
Your video showed me the 67W charger. Amazon showed me the 100W charger... let's hope it is similar in best multiport charger.
While using a single device won't the 45w damage the iPhone 15?
I found the Anker 3 port for $40 at Target. But i was looking for the newest Otterbox 67 watt 3 port. Thought it was too new to find it in a store. But only 1 left at a Verizon store and it was $65. Thing is this brick is big but the plug is sideways so doesnt block outlets. Figures i found out Dewalt has a 65 watt 3 port thats new and more what i needed. Smaller and runs far cooler according to those who have it. Although i get lots of attention with the Otterbox.
What about stand-by power consumption and efficiency? Over the time of use that adds to the cost….
from what I've seen. a 5w charger is what u mainly need. what do ppl do? plug their phone when they go to sleep. u dont want to fast charge ur phone all night, u dont need it...sure there are safety features in the phone hardware/software as well as the brick to slow down the charge as it gets to 100%, but for me i use a fast charger as a emergency when i need a charge cuz im about to be out and about... most phones can usually last a day without needing to be plugged in anyways. so 5W to chargee overnight. fast charging when i need it when it counts. what drives me crazy is my cousin playing games on his phone and using his fast charger the whole time he is playing. im talking gaming at 100% charge with the cable still attached... that will kill ur battery
i use a fast multiport charger but the way i configured it im using a non mfi usb-a to lightning cable so the iphone slow charges instead of pulling the 15 watts from that particular port on my charger. I use the other ports for charging bigger things.
Agree with you, if possible I use old 5W Apple charger, but lately it is difficult to find 5W charger. Two years ago I managed to buy Apple 12W charger when I was on holiday in Spain. I have to use a plug converter for the UK.
Also for earbuds it is best to use low wattage charger.
Sharge retro 67w with 3 sockets any good ?
i have used 735 charger for long time. It heats up the device so much. Tried in mac, 15 pm and ipad pro too
What about the Momax, Xiaomi, X power chargers which go up to 200-300w?
Car chargers next please!!!
What about PPS support and other QC protocols support?
u wanna compare cheap, lightweight portable battery packs? the nitecore looks dope and smaller brands like baseus and inio might be better than anker
Did you test these on any non-Apple products? (I don't own anything made by Apple)
FYI collapsible prongs are NOT always a good thing. I just had an Otterbox 20w/30w charger crap out on me … after pretty minimal use (left in one outlet for a year or more, the prongs didn't appear connected (rolling as one). Looking at it to see what was wrong, one prong FELL OUT.
Yes, fell out. It appears the metal prong was only held in by some plastic hub, and without that intact, the prong literally just came out like a child's baby tooth. Glad I didn't have that happen while it was plugged into an outlet!
I may try that Belkin but dang Anker has never let me down. Chargers and cables have all been solid for me.
Do video on 140watt charging
Q: do any reviewed chargers support 24/7 charging of overclocked arm64 devices running Linux?
I like power adapter with a lot of ports. It’s easy to find multiple USB-A ports but somehow it is much harder to find one with more than 2 USB-C ports.
I wanted to charge laptop and smartphone on the go and took the bigger anker charger with 100W. A little bit expensive, but not that much bigger and still very travelabel. There is a very similar model from ugreen. If you want to go over 100W, the chargers get quite big for mobile purposes.
I was under the impression that higher charge rates ages the batteries faster. Have I got this wrong?
Have u done one that can charge a laptop?
If you have multiple cables plugged in, but only one device connected to one of the two cables, do these chargers still deliver max speed to your one device? Or does it split the charge the moment a second (even unused) cable is plugged in?
Cable plugged in doesn't matter. Only devices.
Depends on the charger and the cable, some chargers always step down, others step down if the cable signals that its active and some cables always signal as active when plugged in. Both behaviors are almost never listed or documented.
I like mycharger because of its built-in cable for my lightning devices and the other for my usbc. Not small very heavy, not what you're reviewing. But it also is a powerbank. hey! Tell monty, Hey!
I just clicked on the number one charger affiliate link and it’s only $45 now
This video was too short. We want more Monty, and reviews.
question, I have a 65W ugreen robot charger, but if I have a single cable connected to my MacBook it charges at 65W but if I connect a second cable (just connect the cable without connecting any device to that cable) my MacBook drops to 45W, does this It is normal? that's how it works?
Depends on the charger and the cable, some chargers always step down, others step down if the cable signals that its active and some cables always signal as active when plugged in. Both behaviors are almost never listed or documented, I believe UGreen is the former.
to me the best is only from ugreen, i got the 65w, 120w and 100w, heavy, lukewarm, safe, at a reasonable price tag.
Every single one of your links across all of your videos do not take me to the specific product - it just puts the name in the search bar and searches and it never comes up as one the results after searching. It’s clearly on my end based off other people locating it but I’m not sure how to fix it…
Trying to get the anker 735 you suggested but the new version isn’t coming up. Only the old version whenever i search for it
Nomad 65W Slim is expensive, but travels better than everything on this list due to it's size and dimensions. It's the king for now.
You need to try cmf charger which is cheaper than most of these
Let’s get him to a million subs! HIT that subscribe button people!
What about ugreen?
Hello Monty!
Imagine a charger that has a heatsink the size of pc heatsinks, temperature related failures won’t be a thing
