i travel with a steam deck. although the 735 charger is capable of charging at the correct speed and protocol, it will not charge a steam deck at the correct rate. you will get the slow charging warning from steam deck every time. the slow charging warning will pop up either because input power is less than 30w or it isn't using pd 15v for charging. the anker 735 charger will not use the pd 15v protocol with a steam deck. the charger does well with everything else i've thrown at it, but if you have a steam deck, look at a different product.
edit:after some testing and digging i was able to determine the reason this product did not work what i intended. while most of the marketing on this product suggests it can handle 65w with an output range of 4.5v - 20v, it is misleading. supported voltages include 4.5v, 5v, 9v, 15v and 20v, with 3a throughout the range, except the usb a which is limited to 5v 5a. usb c pps is limited to 3.3v or 16v only.anker's data sheet says the usb a will support 12v but in my testing i was only ever able to get 5v out, with load, from the usb-a port.i wouldn't recommend this charger for anyone planning to take advantage of its power delivery features, unless you have a macbook or just plan to use it as a charger for phones and tablets. it is not well suited for anything except for 5v, 9v and 16v outputs over 20w.the gan series chargers have a slightly more robust output range but are still limited to 12v 1.5a on the usb a output. however the gan series does support 12v output on the type c ports, which the nan do apparently do not.
i bought this charger so that i could consolidate all my chargers into one during travel. i deliberately chose the 45w charger because i was willing to compromise on charging speed in order to maximize compactness.what a mistake! the power management on this adapter is awful. if i plug in my ipad on one usb-c port, iphone on the second usb-c port, and apple watch on the usb-a port, i would expect them all to charge but at a slower rate.not what happens. instead, the first usb-c gets nearly full power, second gets partial power, and usb-a gets none. not optimal, but potentially okay if the charge delivery changes once the ipad and iphone are fully charged.that’s also not what happens. instead, the usb-a never gets power until you unplug and plug the adapter back into the wall. even if you disconnect the ipad and iphone, it still won’t send power to the usb-a until you physically unplug the adapter from the wall. it is almost like some sort of reset.if you charge your devices overnight like i do and hope to have a full charge in the morning, you’re out of luck unless you want to set an alarm to plug/unplug at 4am.i thought i had a defective unit and anker replaced it, but the replacement does the same thing.i’ve used many other anker products over the years without issue. this is the first one that has left me very disappointed. save your money.
this charger simply doesn't not work consistently. i got this headset to provide power too a vr headset when it's batteries are dead - tot his end it should be providing a constant power flow, however, it does not do that.if i have this plugged into my phone, vr headset, or other device, it will constantly cut off, about once every 5-10 minutes. it does so for about a second or so, but in that time any device i am powering with it can die if it's at low charge, or if it's depending on this outlet for power.i purchased one unit and returned it assuming it was defective, and ordered a replacement from amazon. the replacement had the exact same issue.check out the 65w usb c charger by baseus instead. it does not have these issues.
charger works fine, except that the computer port only outputs 40 watts even when only that port is being used. it does seem to be switching or recognize the only one i'm going to plugged in.
i had an issue while on a trip with my anker 60w piq 3.0, but found out later it was the cable (had issues with both ports, anyhow) but i kept this one because i like the form factor, but it doesn't have as much power. laptop charging takes longer and when i have phone and laptop plugged in the phone says check charger 21 hours remaining. take the same cables to my anker 60w piq 3.0 and everything has the power it needs again.
the good:• it is a very compact 3 port 60w charger• the plug folds• it is convenient when you use multiple devices (but with a catch - read below)• the first usb-c port when used alone can supply the full 65w power of the chargerthe ok:• port power varies per number of connected devices, this is somewhat 90% accurately described on the charger and anker's product page• supports pd and iqthe bad (what they don't tell you, and don't want you to know, but you should):• power factor is bad - ranging from 0.48 for smaller loads to 0.59 for full load. this means you will pay for twice the electricity it puts in your devices and if you are using it in emergencies on batteries and inverters means that as much power that goes in your devices will be also wasted. it also runs at 103va under full load, so running from a 100va (100w) inverter may be hit and miss.• the low power usb-c port will switch to 5v only if anything is plugged in the usb-a port. it is not enough to disconnect the devices from the charger to rectify this, you also need to disconnect the charger for at least 20 seconds to reset the internal controllers• while it supports pd, it does not support 12v on any of the usb-c ports; 12v is supported only on the usb-a port and only in iq (the usb-a port does not seem to support pd or bc) • it heats up easily to 155f at 70f ambient which is both above the widely accepted temperatures for burning hazard (above 120f) and fire hazard (above 140f) - do not use unattended, do not let kids touch it, do not touch for longer than 5 seconds
1.8amps is a slow charge and not adequate unless using the usb 3.0 port and plus no cables can be attached to the other ports. 3.5amps or greater is needed.
does not charge acer chromebook, tried different cables even bought the anker brand usb-c cable vs standard usb-b cable and both ports does not charge the chromebook. used a brick type of charger and it charges right up meaning the anker charger is way too weak to be able to charge anything. avoid at all cost.
charges everything extremely slow and is way too big for what it does. and it definitely does not charge at 65 watts which is clearly the biggest selling point. i have too many anker products failing after less than a year. i am done with anker.
has issues charging different device types. it will just power on and off constantly and you won't realize it until hours later when your device isn't charged. the foldable power pin are real flimsy. i bought 2 of these, dropped one from my night stand and the pins just broke off.
worked great for the last few months. using different cables and other working charges, i confirmed the charger no longer outputs 65w. tested at 12w using one connection on each test on each usb-c port. outside amazon return/exchange window. warranty attempt through anker's website is difficult. no response. disappointing short-lived product.
i was trying to use this to power a hub for my laptop. unfortunately, it doesn’t deliver enough power to allow for even one extra monitor to stay on consistently. no matter what monitor i used they constantly flickered. it’s essentially a glorified charger for a switch or steamdeck anything else is too much for it. pretty disappointed since amazon itself advertised that it would work with the hub and provide sufficient power.
i can not seem to get more than 13/14 watts from either usbc port. my iphone 12 is at 20%. reached out to supplier to see if i’m doing something wrong or if it’s just a problem with the charger. will update review if i get a response.
