Choose a charger
There are several types of chargers. Ask yourself the following questions to choose the best charger:
- Do you want a charger with or without a cable?
- How much power do you need?
- What kind of charger do you need?
Do you want a charger with or without cable?
The cable that's included with your smartphone by default is usually short and breaks easily. That's why you should buy a charger with a good cable. Sturdy nylon or kevlar cables last longer than plastic cables. With an extra long cable, you can also connect your smartphone to a socket that's far away. For your iPhone 14 or older, choose a charger with a Lightning cable. Go for a USB-C cable if you have an iPhone 15 or newer or smartphone from a different brand.
How much power do you need?
With chargers, the power (in Watts) or current (in Ampere) is often indicated. These values determine how fast the battery of your smartphone can be fully charged again. The most affordable chargers supply 5W / 1A, which means it takes about 5 hours to fully charge the battery. With a charger with 10 to 12W (2.1 or 2.4A), charging is twice as fast. You can also charge devices with a larger battery with a charger like this (like tablets). For even faster charging, you'll need a fast charger that's specifically suitable for your smartphone.
What kind of charger do I need?
There are several ways to charge your phone. If you want to charge your phone quickly, go for a fast charger. Depending on which charger you choose, the battery of your phone can charge up to 4 times faster. If convenience is important to you, choose a wireless charger. You'll never have to search for your cable again. Are you on the road a lot? We have fast chargers with multiple connectors suitable for your car.
