"I'm a big fan of universal travel chargers that can shapeshift into whatever power outlet I'm faced with. But most of the ones I've been traveling with are pretty big and bulky. Sure, they can push out a lot of power and handle power-hungry devices like my MacBook Pro, but they're overkill if I've just got my phone with me. This is why I've been testing Rolling Square's Pocket Travel Charger, a tiny charger that transforms to allow for worldwide power outlet compatibility."
"Yes, Rolling Square produced two versions of the same device. The one with the USB-C port is a 30W unit, perfect for someone traveling with a smartphone, and there's a 20W unit that has alongside the USB-C port a legacy USB-A port (25W max when using the USB-C port alone, 20W for the USB-A port, and 15W if using both)."
"The business end -- the bit that plugs into the host power outlet -- are the same for both. They consist of a selection of prongs that can be extended and retracted to suit US, EU, Australian, and UK sockets, making these tiny chargers compatible with the sockets found in over 200 countries worldwide. I've tested the chargers with a number of different sockets from around the world, and they worked just fine."
The Rolling Square Pocket Travel Charger is a compact, transformable charger offered in a 30W single USB-C model and a 20W dual-port model with USB-C and USB-A. The 20W unit delivers up to 25W from USB-C when used alone, 20W from USB-A, or 15W when both ports are used. The 30W model is slightly smaller and slightly heavier than the two-port version. Both models use extendable, retractable prongs for US, EU, Australian, and UK sockets, provide compatibility across more than 200 countries, support 100–250V at 50/60Hz, and are pocketable and travel-ready.
