Mains chargers that suit the device
Phones now ship without a charger in the box, so the plug is something you buy once and keep for years. Getting the wattage right matters more than the brand on it: too low and the device charges slowly, and paying for far more than the device can accept buys nothing.
Compact single port plugs for a bedside or travel bag
Higher wattage USB-C power delivery plugs for tablets and laptops
Multi port plugs for charging more than one device from one socket
Wattage, briefly
A phone typically draws between 20 and 30 watts at its fastest, a tablet a little more, and a thin laptop between 45 and 70. A device never draws more than it is built to take, so a larger plug is safe, just unnecessary. Cables are under charging cables and 12V options under car chargers.
Buying in New Zealand
Stock sits in Queenstown rather than being ordered in per sale, so anything ordered before the 2pm cut-off leaves the same working day and reaches most New Zealand addresses overnight. Pickup can be arranged by appointment.
Questions answered
Are these New Zealand plugs?
Yes. Everything listed here takes the standard New Zealand and Australian socket without an adaptor.
Will a higher wattage charger damage my phone?
No. The device negotiates how much it draws, so it takes only what it is designed for and the rest of the capacity sits unused.
Why is my phone charging slowly on a fast charger?
Usually the cable. A cable that does not support power delivery caps the current regardless of what the plug can supply.
