I've found my ideal Travel Charger

[Cruiser Elite]

Purchase something like this https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0C4Y2LTQQ?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_3 and tether to one of your USB type-C cables and problem is solved. No need for that extra cable.

Like these? Had them in my stocks just no string

I bought them in Shanghai like years ago and never used them until this last trip - think I paid like AUD0.50eA

Only a little plug thing thats going to get lost one way or another!!

Correct so the insurance is a full cable not only for in flight but in hotels also to connect for o/n charging besides bed - A to C cable guarantees it

Hence with the little string so you can tether it to the cable

Oh and the power bank I have has 2 x A output and micro charging port so still need the A to C flexibility for that to re-charge phone when out and about

I don't bother with string. Tried and it can get tangled.

Just travel/store with 'em plugged in to a cable.

Yes that is what I did - but on o/n flt it’s easy to accidentally bump cable and cable can seperate from plug - in CX where they store headphones in those middle compartments easy to dislodge when accessing head phones which it did last flt and no charging whilst sleeping - I also did have it seperate and drop down beside seat - luckily was able to grab it before it disappeared to floor - a separate A to C cable is the simple and 100% effective answer - but clearly others hold different views

Was hoping to touch base to see if anyone has found any good alternatives to this travel charger from Zyron? Touchwood so far it's been pretty decent for our travels and has been working fine thus far.

Daver6 do you mind re-posting that image again as it seems link no longer active. After multiple flights where USB A ports only available you may be spot on with this.

You can get other variations on this. Just search Amazon for "usb a to c adapter"

Thanks for that I will get my Chinese team to source me a few - likely to be $0.50 or less there

Find out who supplies Jaycar. They have similar in store for same price (although not as pretty).

I just carry a USB-A to C cable as well as my USB-C cable.

Yes but totally unnecessary with adaptor

And for when you're travelling these are also essential:

I've used Zyron GAN chargers for years and they are great. Just be careful, though, with charging an iPhone in one of the higher power ports - this can erode the battery life of the iPhone.

I'm beginning to buy the local power connectors as the adapters are never a good fit. I have European poewer pack for my laptop. The adapter I have for my phone is awkward but most hotels have usb outputs.

 

[Beano]

Strangely my adapters aren't friendly with the Aus/NZ plug. I seem to have to force them into the adapter.
