Just wanted to share that Zendure released an updated Passport III line that goes to 65W now (not sure if they improved on any of the split charging capabilities from the prev model). Was contemplating getting that but its steep at 69.99USD. It was going for 39USD on their kickstarter. Perhaps worth a taking a look in the future also - there's really no one technical who has reviewed that yet.

I saw that afterwards. It looks like it changes the USB lineup a little, improves the power distribution, more USB C, less USB A, and adds more PPS modes although I don't see a 5A 11V mode so still 25W for most Samsung devices (which is plenty) so really welcome changes. I will have to check it out eventually.

That plug is the Europlug (CEE 7/16 Alternative II). It is designed to work in all continental Europe but it is limited to 2.5. That is why it should not be used with for example hair dryers. Assume any travel adapter using it to be dubious. Also it does not support grounding yet many of these adapters accept grounded plugs That makes them illegal for example in Finland.

@starbase218 10 ай бұрын

@@AllThingsOnePlace There isn't such a thing as a "German socket". In Germany they sell extension cords with the big round, earthed sockets as well as small, unearthed sockets. Wall outlets typically have the former because you need to be able to fit all kinds of devices in, including class-1 (single insulated) devices that are earthed. Plugging such a device into an outlet that does not have an earth contact is a potential safety hazard, so the inability to do so is by design. Class 2 devices typically aren't earthed since they have better insulation (the cabinet will typically be plastic instead of metal as well).

@okaro6595 5 ай бұрын

No, schuko is specifically designed to be used in unearthed outlets (CEE 7/1) though of course only in environments where earth potential is not available. You can never break the earth where availabile. Unearthed CEE 7/2 plugs cannot be used on earthed sockets for safety reasons. They have not been used for decades though so unless you collect for example old radios it is not an issue.

Is there an outlet adapter that you would recommend just to convert the plug type? I'm using the Satechi 165W power adapter, like we talked about before, but I need something to convert the foreign plug type into a US one. It would be nice to not have to bring multiple adapters just for this purpose. Does just any outlet adapter work? I guess it would be nice to have a resetable fuse.

That's not an Italian style plug, that's called a "Europlug" and it's limited to 2.5A and works in most of Europe (UK/Ireland excluded) due to its peculiar design. The official name is CEE 7/16 Alternative II plug.

@AllThingsOnePlace 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, it's a weird hybrid thing, it mostly closely resembles the Italian plug but I should've put more emphasis on the 'it is like'. The Italian plug has the middle ground pin also. Thank you for the plug name though, useful info! Certainly not limited to 2.5A in these adapters, 6 amp fuses, oops!

@LGNilsson 2 жыл бұрын

@@AllThingsOnePlace actually, it's closer to the Swiss plug or the IEC 60906-1 standard, just minus the ground in this case. It's not weird at all, it's been used in Europe since the 1970's.

@AllThingsOnePlace 2 жыл бұрын

@@LGNilsson The standard I am sure is good. I was referring to these travel adapters and a 2.5 amp limit. Is that socket limited or do the plugs have 2.5A fuses? In either case these are not compliant. These things seem like they probably don't comply with any of the standards instead of fully complying with one. It sounds like the best action would be to have a proper plug for the job, or if you have to use an adapter get one that does one thing correctly and doesn't try to be all the adapters... in one place... I like the ones with the bag of slide on plugs and only one socket type.

@LGNilsson 2 жыл бұрын

@@AllThingsOnePlace the plugs obviously don't have fuses, only the UK does that... But yes, the travel adapters don't tend to comply with the Europlug standard, so if used in Europe, or any other country with a socket where it would fit, it would not be meeting the standard if a higher amperage device was plugged in. Fully agree with you on the second point.

@philippstenkamp8558 Жыл бұрын

Wanted to add a comment very much like this but then found this discussion. The power plugs in Europe are a mixed bag and differ in a lot of aspects. The "Europlug" or CEE 7/16 basically is the common denominator between those and compatible with most outlets found in Europe. What you called the German plug is a CEE 7/7, in Germany referred to as a "Schuko", abbr. for Schutzkontakt, meaning it has a protective earth contact. CEE 7/7 will fit Type E and Type F Sockets used in Belgium, France, Netherlands, Germany and others. In regards to safety CEE 7/7 should never fit in a travel adapter. This boils down to: - no protective earth being provided by the travel adapter, but required for CEE 7/7 compatible outlets - as you pointed out too, vastly different current allowance between in this case Europlug and CEE 7/7 (2.5A vs 16A). In most situations these will work fine and be "safe enough". But when misused they can become a fire and safety hazard. As everything electric I guess. Just some trivia for you. Keep up the indepth reviews!

I'm guessing it's not possible for a travel adaptor to be much smaller than these. We don't need to plug in ac plugs into the adaptor, we just need a USB hub that can plug into a any wall socket, and these seem quite large while not supplying much power. Good to see the resettable fuse though.

You can buy travel adaptors which don’t plug directly into the wall but instead have a C7 (figure of 8) mains socket. You can then buy short country-specific mains leads (cheap on Amazon). Personally I think this is a better approach.
