Hello all.
I am looking for a dual or tripple (2 usbc+normal usbA) charger. My original charger for macbook has only 30w (A2164 model i think) what suprises me a little. It means 50w should be ok for both devices.
I am thinking about aukey pa-bs4 65?wat model or higher model with usbA and 90w (not sure its model number from memory). People say that this ps-bs4 model gives only 45w on first port when second cable is connected, but anyway, for my devices it should be ok.
1. Please, tell me what chargers You are using without any issues. Which can You recommend?


Some additional questions from me:
2. How can i determine my mac and iphone max W can be used?
3. What is the difference using original chargers vs non original? What apple will do when something bad happens with devices while i am using non original charger? Devices can somehow notice this, yes?

Thank You for help.

I'd go with something like this Anker 735 i've got the 1 port USBC 65w adapter and it's great, this thing is on my list for my next macbook.

The 65w is split, IF multiple devices are connected, if it's a single device it gets all the power (unless it's the USB A socket which gets 22.5w

There shouldn't be an issue with buying genuine third party adapters from reputable companies, THEY don't want hier image tarnished because of blowing things up etc.

All my chargers, cables and powerbanks are anker, never had any issues from them.

There is a 120w version also which is a massive amount - i'd only use it for charging 2 MB's lol
