Phone charger - which brand?

1y 2mon ago by feddit.org/u/dieTasse in buyfromeu@feddit.org

Actually I don't need it for my phone, but I need USB charger with 10W output (5V,2A). And I would like it not to cost too much, because I need more than one, but if its guaranteed made in Europe... Or any asian made that is not China? I know this is BuyEuropean, but if there is no option, my second rule is no China/US. Thank you

I don't want to ruin your day, but China might have a monopoly on those.

thats what I was afraid of

Ikea had a range of fairly good phone chargers a number of years ago, I wonder if they kept that line up to date

Edit: yep:

45w usb-c https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/sjoess-45w-2-port-usb-charger-fast-charging-80574457/

17w USB-A https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/smahagel-3-port-usb-charger-white-40539183/

They have a wireless charger too

Though it's not necessarily clear where they're made

They're made in China unfortunately.

Good luck with that.

Thanks.

I think Anker is the company for you. Based in England and Germany.

I'll check it thanks, do you know if they manufacture anywhere else than china?

Anker ist chinesisch und das schon lange. Anker is chinese and has been for a long time.

Where have you seen the “based in England and Germany”?

The German part is probably a mistake because I thought it was about this company: https://www.anker.net/

ANKER Solutions GmbH is a 140-year-old German company, but it is not ANKER SOLIX

Also apple google etc got companies in countries in the EU

It’s for legal matters 👍

Raspberry Pi power supplies are made in Cambodia (yes, really - though may just be final assembly). The one for the Pi 4 is USB-C and does 15W/3A.

I see, thank you :)

Whatever you do, dont buy HAMA

They are such a scam with their cable and electric products

You know what, I think I had HAMA once, and it was unable to charge anything...
