currently available wall charger – any recommendations?

You want to carry it with you backpacking and charge when you get to a place with an outlet so light weight is important?  And speed?

I got an extension cord with a bunch of AC plugs, and USB a and c plugs.  For home.

I have a bunch of chargers that came with products.  You actually have to buy these??? :)

Yes lightweight, one plug to rule them all. Charge everything at once during a resupply. Surely you don’t carry a bunch of chargers that came with products for 150 miles?

I never go more than about a week, so I never charge from an AC outlet.  I just carry a big enough power bank.

Hopefully someone will answer your question : )

I got a wall charger that has two USB-A outs on it.  And the metal plug things fold up so the item becomes a 1.5 inch, by 1.5 inch by 1 with nothing protruding.  I got short cords.   I’ve also got Nitecore battery banks.  These have one input and several outs.  What I’ve tested at home is that I can go out of the charger, into the Nitecore, but then OUT of the Nitecore and into say the headlight, the phone, the Garman.   Yes it slows charging so this is a way to charge 4 items when you are taking a zero day.  Otherwise I can charge two items and just have to decide on the priority.  Headlight and phone first?  Then Garman?  Or phone and Nitecore first?  With a charge nitecore I can charge up the other items while hiking out.

The Anker Nano  30w GaN chargers(38g) are very nice and have done me well. Charges my devices as fast as they can accept. Use a USB-C to Micro adapter for the inReach, 1g or so for that.

I don’t mess with gas station or no-name chargers.

+1 Anker Nano 30w GaN.  Small, fast, cheap, reliable, 1.6 oz.

Another vote for Anker.

I have experimented with other devices, and some from AliExpress are remarkably cheap (but not very reliable). Mokin makes a popular dual port “40W” charger (that’s 2x 20W ports) with folding prongs that is popular, but reports are that it doesn’t negotiate with all devices or cords, so test it with all of your gear before relying on it on trail. (To be fair, that is possible with any USB-C device, but I see more trouble reports for Mokin than for Anker. YMMV.)

I keep coming back to Anker. Their reliability and performance:weight is hard to beat, and they come in a variety of ports and power ratings.

This 30W Anker charger is currently on sale, claimed 1.4 oz. (Ninja’ed by JCH — it’s the same as his link, probably the same as Brad’s.)

Lots of good conversation on this topic in the /ultralight sub.  Best solution depends on your needs: one device at a time, multi at a time, maximum charge rate needed, do you need slow charge capability, do you want the IQ smart charging…?

But ya, to make it simple, Anker is a safe bet :)

Bleah, it’s like the cereal aisle, too many choices. I want to charge my iphone 11 and my Anker 10k battery at the same time, if possible. The inReach can just be charged off the battery, since it only rarely needs a charge the way I use it. Of course in an emergency it goes quickly!

If your battery supports pass-through charging, then you may be able to charge both with one port.

Otherwise, get a two port charger:

@AK. The iPhone 11 supports about 20 watts max-a little more  with different chargers, but for argument sake 20w. Look up your specific power bank for max input rate. Find appropriate dual port GaN charger. It will need to be 40-60 watts I would guess. FWIW my Anker Nano 10k bank can charge from 0 to 100% in 1.5 hours with the Nano 30 watt charger. The bank is not the lightest but is the fastest at recharging.  Speed = weight.

I have the same phone and (maybe) battery.

If speed is paramount, get the Anker 523, 47W (20W+27W), 81g

If weight, get the Anker 323, 32W (12W+20W), 60g

But if you’re charging both from empty, then the 323 will be just as fast by charging the battery bank from the 20W port because the battery bank is ~ 3x bigger than the iphone’s battery.  This assumes your anker battery bank max charge rate is 20W

This will give you an idea how fast the phone will charge at 20W

A related issue: I’ve had good luck with these small, short 3-way charging cables:

Cut & paste isn’t working, so here is the item description off Amazon: “[3Pack 1Ft] Multi Charging Cable, Short Multi Charger Cable, 3 in 1 Braided Universal Multiple USB Cable Charging Cord Adapter with IP/Type-C/Micro USB Port for Cell Phones/iPhone Series/Galaxy & More”

Three for $9.  Micro / Apple / USB-C.  When I’ve put an ammeter on them, they do as well and usually much better then other cables I’ve got and handle at least 2.3 amps when charging my battery bank (hence, take watt-hours faster than my devices do).

The following battery bank is more than I like for 3-4-day trips, but if there’s stuff you HAVE to do (blood sugar monitor, etc), I’ve found it charges fast and has a good capacity:

$36.  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09831LM66

Amazon won’t ship it to Alaska, but it’s legal to fly with it in your carry-on bag.  I just had one delivered to my sister in the L48 (because my wife commandeered my first one) and got it from her at the Grand Canyon last weekend and brought it north to Alaska yesterday.  It’s not UL (I just put my phone in airplane mode and turn it off overnight if not also during the day), but if you need a lot of watt-hours, its four built-in charging cables are convenient, it has two types of input connectors and those LED lights ought to last about forever, given its capacity.

David T: Is the solar feature useful? Or do you just use it as a jumbo sized power bank?

Sweet price on those cables.  Any multi terminated cable like it’s best to test at home with your specific gear first, sometimes they don’t support the sense resistors and compatibility can be hit or miss

I’m using incharge6 multi charge cable.  Same Micro / Apple / USB-C but adds USB A or C on other end-but its much more expensive

Bill: I haven’t bothered to use the solar feature since I know that much surface area won’t produce many watts.  In a base-camp situation where you could place it on a rock all day, sure, maybe over a few days it would add some useful amount of charge.  So, yeah, I just use it as a big battery bank.

Heh, yeah, I would make the same estimate (probably not worthwhile). I’m not sure that I could avoid testing it for a few hours just to be sure. :)

Thanks, though. I use similar four-end cables, but yours are shaped better (mine have all four leads in the same direction). I like yours better.

Weight-wise, your power bank competes well with Nitecore NB10000 (carbon case) on energy:weight:

• NB10000 5.3 oz
• GOODaaa 15.2 oz, 3.6 times the rated energy* (for only 2.9x the weight)

(*) Of course, as David D points out, that’s the energy required to charge the device, not the energy that you can discharge from it, so this is just an off-hand note).

I’d weigh it to confirm the claimed weight, but my wife took 1) the one I had that she always borrowed and 2) the one I got to gift her for our anniversary next month so I might get mine back (defensive gift giving) on a week-long remote hike to power gear on the trip.  Weight matters less when you toss them in the 25-y-o son’s backpack.
