The 10 Best USB Wall Chargers to Power Up Your Gear in a Flash

Plus, nine other chargers to keep your devices charged and ready to go! 🔋
 
Just about every piece of mobile tech these days requires a USB wall charger, so having an extra one around is always a great idea. Our picks are much more powerful, affordable, and faster at recharging all your devices than the charging brick that probably came with your device. We've evaluated 30-plus USB wall chargers to help you find the best third-party and multi-port offerings available right now.

 
 

Anker PowerPort II with Power Delivery and PowerIQ 2.0 USB Wall Charger
 
 
With the help from Apple's USB-C to Lightning Cable, this charger can recharge your iPhone X, iPhone 8, or iPhone 8 Plus' battery up to 50% in just 30 minutes. 
 
This option charges most laptops, any tablet, smartphone, and the Nintendo Switch at the absolute fastest rate with its onboard USB-C or USB-A port. Not only is this charger super fast, but it's also ultra portable. It weighs less than 3 ounces, and it's small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. It only comes in white, and it's backed by an 18-month warranty.
 
Anker PowerPort Speed 4 USB Wall Charger
 
 
Odds are, you probably have multiple gadgets that need recharging. Why not charge them all simultaneously with this nifty adapter from Anker? It pushes out 43.5 watts of power — that's three times more than the iPhone's included adapter. Plus, it supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0, so all your devices charge much faster. 
 
HGD 2.4 Amp Dual USB Fast Charger
 
 
If you need the fastest charging speeds possible and tend to charge your devices fast, we recommend this 2.4-watt charger from HGD. Its two ports each charge 2.4 amps, so you can recharge your smartphone, tablet, and smartwatch simultaneously at full speed in less time you could with their included chargers. 
 
Anker PowerPort II with 2 PIQ USB Wall Charger
 
 
Confusingly enough, this 24-watt USB wall charger happens to share the same name with another Anker charger, but rather than having a Power Delivery and PowerIQ 2.0 port, this one has twin PowerIQ USB ports that charge up to 2.4 amps per port, so it's not as powerful or fast as the other 30-watt Anker PowerPort II charger we mentioned.
 
Regardless, this charger is a hair larger than the standard iPad charger, but it's twice as powerful with twice the amount of ports for half the cost. It comes in black or white, has a fold-in plug, and easily slips into a pocket or bag. 
 
AUKEY USB-C PD Charger
 
 
If you don't need multiple charging ports and want the smallest charger for fast-charging your USB-C smartphone, the AUKEY charger is the best option available. It is extremely compact, has foldable prongs, and is backed by a 2-year warranty. Just remember: If you want to use it with your iPhone, you'll need a USB-C to Lightning cable!
 
Apple 18W USB-C Power Adapter
 
 
If you are weary to use a third party charger with your smartphone or tablet, you should know that Apple finally started selling a USB-C power adapter of its own. This cheaper charger used to only be available with purchase of an iPad Pro, but now you can buy it separately.
 
Anker PowerPort 6 (60W 6-Port USB Charging Hub)
 
 
If you need to charge several devices simultaneously, the six-port Anker 60W Charger is your best bet. Rather than featuring a brick-style design, this charger connects to an AC outlet by a 5-foot-long detachable power cord. The charger's six ports pump out 60 watts of power. The PowerPort 6 is backed by an 18-month warranty. If you need even more ports, there's a 10-port model, too!

 
 

Anker PowerCore Fusion USB Wall Charger
 
 
This unique offering from Anker is a hybrid of a wall charger and a portable battery. The charger is equipped with a 5,000mAh battery for on-the-go charging when an outlet isn't nearby. When your device is plugged into the Anker unit while the unit's plugged into a wall, it prioritizes recharging the device over itself.
 
Its built-in battery has enough capacity to fully recharge an iPhone 7 twice. Plus, it has two USB ports, a foldable plug, and comes in white, black, and red. The charger is about 3 inches wide and 3 inches tall, making it a travel-friendly pick.
 
Nekteck 4-port 72W USB Wall Charger with Type-C 60W Power Delivery
 
 
This affordable 72W USB wall charger from Nekteck is equipped with three USB-A ports, in addition to a single USB-C port that can charge most USB-C laptops and other devices at full speed. It's USB-IF-certified so you can ensure that it's safe to use with your $1,000+ laptop. We love that it comes with a 3-foot-long USB-C charging cable and a lengthy 4-foot power cord, so you can reach faraway outlets, too.
 
RAVPower PD Pioneer 45W GaN Wall Charger
 
 
If the Nekteck wall charger is too large for your tastes, consider this ultra-thin option from RAVPower, instead. The charger is the thinnest MacBook charger money can buy. It still delivers 45-watts of power to charge power hungry devices like your iPad Pro, Nintendo Switch, or Dell XPS laptop but it's just a half inch thick, and 2-inches tall.
