There is a lot of talk about chargers for the new iPad Pros with more than one USB-C port so I said in another thread I would write up a quick review.
This USB Charger from Inateck is a double port, USB-C wall charger which is great for travellers. Measuring in at 77 × 77 × 30mm and weighing 189g, it's a fairly portable size for the frequent traveller. Included in the box along with the charger are a selection of 3 regional wall plugs, a USB Type C cable and user guide.
The supplied wall plugs cover EU, UK and US regions and are easily swapped out by pushing in a small button and sliding the plug off.
This charger supports the Power Delivery protocol meaning it can charge the likes of a Macbook or other supported devices. This port offers a range of voltages from 5V through to 20V and a maximum of 60W output.
The first port is limited to 15W output. The second will output 60W when used on its own but is restricted to 45W when port 1 is also in use. Official output options for the higher rated port are 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/3A, 15V/3A, 20V/3A.
I’ve tested with my new 2018 11” iPad Pro. Charging from 10% to 85% took exactly an hour which is noticeably quicker than the Apple supplied 18w charger. I didn’t get a chance to time from 0 to 100% but I’m estimating around 1.5 hours due to trickle charging towards the end of a full charge.
This wall charger performed its tasks without issue and while warm to the touch, as expected with a high performance charger, it never gave cause for concern. I actually got this due to previous experience of Inateck USB chargers and would certainly recommend them.
Build quality feels very solid and I am more than happy to use this as my go to charger when travelling thanks to the quick charge times on offer as well as the flexibility of dual USB-C ports. I think it is well priced for what it offers and the package as a whole.
