With the average number of electronics devices used by each person increasing, keeping them all charged has become quite a challenge. Fortunately, many of these devices can now be charged with USB Power Delivery based chargers using the USB Type-C connector.

With the Energear 46W USB-C Wall Charger, you can now charge a variety of popular notebook PC's, tablets, mobile phones, game consoles, and action cameras. Unlike a lot of chargers found on Amazon, the Energear 46W USB-C Wall Charger has been certified by the USB Implementers Forum to be compliant, meaning it should enjoy a high degree of charging compatibility with other certified products in the market.

Most smaller notebook PC's, tablets, and phones use a maximum of 45 watts which is covered by the Energear 46W USB-C Wall Charger but if you have a notebook PC that needs over 60 watts, Energear also offers the Energear 65W PD Charger.

The Energear 46W USB-C Wall Charger was designed with travel portability in mind, having foldable AC power prongs which can also be changed depending on which country you are in. With support of 100 to 240V AC power, the Energear 46W USB-C Wall Charger can be used in most places around the world in addition to providing the most popular DC charging voltage levels- 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V, and 20V.

The Energear 46W USB-C Wall Charger comes in professional packaging showcasing it has been certified to provide up to 46 watts of USB Power Delivery based charging.

The Energear 46W USB-C Wall Charger itself has a nice compact design with smooth rounded edges.

 

 

The Energear 46W USB-C Wall Charger has a single USB Type-C port and comes with a 6 ft USB Type-C to Type-C cable.

Through USB Power Delivery technology, the Energear 46W USB-C Wall Charger is actually five chargers in one, and can provide 15 watts (5 volts @ 3 amps), 27 watts (9 volts @ 3 amps), 36 watts (12 volts @ 3 amps), 45 watts (15 volts @ 3 amps), and 46 watts (20 volts @ 2.3 amps) depending on what power profile fits best with the device it is charging.

The AC power prongs can be removed to support different regions, although the Energear 46W USB-C Wall Charger itself is sold in only one region.

Using the USB Power Delivery Compliance C2 Tester from Granite River Labs to run just a subset of the full USB Power Delivery compliance test suite, we can verify that the Energear 46W USB-C Wall Charger does support the following PDO's for charging as claimed: 15 watts (5 volts @ 3 amps), 27 watts (9 volts @ 3 amps), 36 watts (12 volts @ 3 amps), 45 watts (15 volts @ 3 amps), and 46 watts (20 volts @ 2.3 amps).
