Satechi's new 165W USB-C charger can keep four of your devices fully topped up while saving desk space.




We've all been there -- you've got a plethora of dying devices on your desk and a limited amount of charging cables available. Usually, this requires a bit of technology triage, requiring you to guess which device you'll need to charge first.

Satechi aims to solve that problem with its new 165W USB-C 4-Port PD GaN Charger. It features next-gen Gallium Nitride technology to provide faster charging and better power efficiency for your devices.

Charge up your new MacBook Pro, your iPad Pro, your AirPods, and your iPhone simultaneously. It automatically adjusts based on the number of ports used, resulting in 100W, 100W/60W, 60W/60W/45W, or 100W/30W/30W, 60W/45W/30W/30W splits, depending on the devices plugged in.

You won't need to worry about devices overheating, thanks to the Power Delivery standard, as well as the CE and ETL certifications.

Satechi's new 165W USB-C 4-Port PD GaN Charger is available at Satechi.net for $119.99 and is 20% off with the code CES20 until January 13.

    This is almost exactly what I’m looking for. If only it had a wall mounting option…I’m trying to minimize my surface spaces and power outlets.

    You can solve this with some third party things. These work great: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083S91WV7/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_FYZPE5NZCDHREYNJ2T55?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

    Why bother with an actual mounting system? I would just use 2 of the highest strength Command strips, which are rated to hold 4 pounds each. 8 pounds of hold is more than enough for a power strip.

    There’s really no reason you would need to wait. The plug isn’t built in to the charger. The charger itself
    supports worldwide voltages. It’s powered through an included cable with a two prong IEC C-7 connector on the end that goes into the charger. So you would just need your own cable with Australian plugs on one end and IEC C-7 on the other end, which you could get from dozens of online sources, and this would work fine there.

    They sell with AU cable as an option on the website.

    Yeah, I prefer your solution 3 reasons. Firstly, while that strip he mentioned is nice, it looks like it’s too big for the port and will have unsightly overhangs. Secondly, the Command Strips are much cheaper. Thirdly, I can walk to the corner and have them in 5 minutes vs. having to wait for a delivery. Thanks for the suggestion.
