Instead of the sane approach of specifying 5, 9, 12, 15, and/or 20 volts and the amperages, products insist on listing every model of device in existence instead.

Most will do 12V, but I always want to make sure it’ll power my laptop (20V) as well.

A big thank you to reviewers who post images of the actual products where it shows the relevant info in one short line on the labels:

e.g. PD Output: 5V=3A, 9V=3A, 12V=3A, 15V=3A, 20V=3A

    Good to know. I had heard Anker did some shady stuff but never caught wind of a good replacement. The phone charger scene is obscene as seen by OP, and and I would rather buy from Anker than buy garbage.

      Oh definitely. If my choices are no-name garbage or Anker, it’ll always be Anker. You’d be better off with nothing than that shit.
