RAVPower 45W USB C PD Charger Review

The RAVPower 45W USB C PD charger is a super slim charger that can charge a lot of gadgets. It’s perfect for travelers that need to charge fast, and without carrying bulky chargers and for commuters who want something they can always keep in a bag.

About the size of a deck of playing cards, this is a great USB C PD charger for the 2018 iPad Pro, Nintendo Switch, 12-inch MacBook and a fast charger for the iPhone and many Android devices. That’s just a sampling of what you can charge with this small, but powerful charger.

The RAVPower 45w Wall Charger is normally $54.99 at Amazon, but if you use code Q4KQ7H7T it drops the price to $46.74. This code is valid through January 31st.

With a thickness that is half of what you’ll find in most wall chargers, a fold flat plug and support for 110V to 240V outlets, this is a charger that is ready for basically anything you encounter. The charger can supply up to 45W of power, which is what makes it so versatile. There is a smart sensor inside that detects how much power to send and then it will scale up or down the power output from 5 levels of power.

The use of GaN technology is what allows this slim design without giving up any speed. The overall design is very nice and the fold up socket makes sliding it into my backpack side pocket very easy. I’ve also tossed it into a coat pocket to carry with me during Thanksgiving so that I had a charger handy for myself and other relatives.

You can only get the RAVPower 45w Wall Charger in white, which is a good color for something that is going to spend most of its mobile life in the bottom of a bag where it may be hard to see.

This is a better option than buying the $29 USB C 18W charger from Apple if you have a range of devices and it’s a better deal than the 30W Apple Charger with the coupon code. It’s more affordable than their 61W charger, but it doesn’t deliver as much power. You can use it to charge a 13-inch MacBook Pro or 13-inch MacBook Air, but it won’t be at full speed.
