Apple, Samsung, and more brands stopped providing power adapters for smartphones, and the search game for proper power adapters became serious. While looking for new power adapters and cables, you should consider the below three factors to choose wisely:
- Check your devices
- Find out your device usage habit
- Select a charger from a reliable brand
Step 1: Find out what devices you have, the charging standard, and the charging protocol your devices support.
This helps find synergy in your different charging scenarios.
For example, when you have several USB-C devices, upgrading your original USB adapter to a USB-C adapter is wise since properly made USB-C adapters and appliances can communicate. The right combination will offer fast charging for PD (Power Delivery) across different devices.
Q: There are dozens of adapters in the market; how to know if a USB-C adapter follows PD & QC protocol?
A: Check the packaging or the print on the device. A USB-C adapter supporting PD fast charging should indicate the output voltage for 5/9/15/20V.
To take care more, Innergie adapters added 12V in our charging protocol to be compatible with more devices, such as a power bank and some particular laptops.
Every Innergie One For All adapter supports PD fast charging. You only need to consider the power requirement of your devices to pick the most suitable adapter/charger:
In addition, Innergie C3 Duo, 45H, and C6 Duo adapters support PPS (Programmable Power Supply) that can charge more efficiently and better for battery health when your device applies to PPS, such as Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, Note 10, S22 Plus.

Step 2: Clarify your usage and charging habits.
If you carry 2+ devices regularly, a two-port adapter will be your best option for the following reasons:
- More compact than two single-port adapters.
- Only one wall socket is needed to charge two devices simultaneously.
- When pairing with the right cables, only one adapter is needed to replace the original ones.

Step 3: Pick your product from a reliable brand
Electricity can be dangerous if the adapters and cables do not fulfill the safety standard, use low-quality material, or have poor circuit design. Go for a reliable manufacturer since they have higher corporate standards and inspections on their suppliers to ensure the material quality and production SOP.
For example, Innergie, as a brand of Delta, fully utilized the power technology and supply chain of Delta Electronics, the most prominent global manufacturer for original laptop adapters, such as HP, Dell, and Asus, to ensure Innergie products, from cables to adapters, are durable, stable, and efficient.
