Recommendations for the best worldwide travel charger

With the better half having 'borrowed' my long serving SK Ross charger (combined with her travelling more now as well), I am in the market for a new world-wide travel charger. I just thought I would ask anyone out there if they had any particular suggestions. For what its worth my main requirements / considerations are (in no particular order);

Hi Ourmain, the prefect charger fot you:

If your a mac user, one adaptor is great. https://oneadaptr.com/products/twist-plus-world-charging-station

There's a slew of multi-socket adaptors out there, and most of the better ones include one or two USB ports. However, my new fave is this one from HK-based XPower – the WC3PD – and I reckon it could be perfect for you.

I discovered it at Hong Kong's Mongkok Computer Centre during a trip in March this year. It's a replacement AC adaptor for the MacBook with a solid 60W output, so you can leave your standard adaptor at home (which I love, because the regular powerbrick now lives in my office and the XPower lives in my tech 'grab-bag'); there's a USB-C socket into which you plug your MacBook (tip: buy a decent and preferably tough USB-C cable so this too can live in your traveltech bag); plus a pair of standard USB sockets rated at 2.4A so they've got the juice to handle tablets and larger smartphones; AND, the cool bit, it includes plugheads for UK, EU and AU sockets, while the 'native' prongs are US (you flip 'em out to connect to a US powerpoint or flip 'em up to accept a plughead adaptor). Current list price is HKD$328, although at MCC mine was HKD$348 – either way you're talking A$60, which I rate as an absolute bargain for all that it does and how it's made my life so much easier!

Oh, if you are in HK and head to MCC or its Wanchai equivalent to pick up one of these chargers, XPower also makes a versatile three-in-one USB cable with Lightning, USB-C and microUSB plugs which might be worth looking for. I grabbed one of these because it replaces three stand-alone cables, works with my iPhone and iPad, and it's very long and nylon-coated, making it practical and durable while on the road. Can't recall the price but it wouldn't have been very much.

Without adoubt the Skross PRO + USB.

That's a very cool solution for a MacBook Pro, David, I am going to add one of those to my shopping list! Apple should produce something just like this as an accessory for travellers.

Thanks David, sounds like an excellent solution, especially as a trip to HK is on the cards in a couple of weeks time!

Just remember that a MacBook Pro willl draw 87w so if you use that 60w charger and do anything CPU intensive it will drain the battery even on charge.

Another Skros PRO + USB fan, have 2 and they go everywhere with me plus a 4 point, multi plug power board.

I wouldn't leave home without my Polaroid International Power board.

It has an interchangeable plug like an iPhone charger and provides 4 USB ports and 2 Australian sockets for items that can't be powered by USB..

+1 for the SKROSS product - never had any issue anywhere I've been using them.
