What USB adapter can I use with the SL Battery Charger (USB C)?
This is a rapidly developing market. New and better products are coming every day. Freefly has tested several adapters and provided our reviews below (in no particular order). We’ve only included adapters below that worked well for us.
Chargers Freefly has tested that work well with our charger:
Manufacturer and Product Name | Part Number | 100W Ports* | Cost (USD)** | Freefly Review / Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Nekteck 100W GaN USB-C Charger | PD100U-1TGA | 1 | $42.99 | Single USB-C port only. Solid feel. Worked great in our testing |
Apple 140W USB-C Power Adapter | 1 | $99.00 | All Apple USB PD power adapters tested worked well. 140W, 96W, 67W, 35W, 29W, 20W. On the lower wattage or older units, make sure they say ‘USB-PD’. | |
SlimQ 100W USB-C | SlimQ-F100 | 1 | $59.99 | Nice and small. |
WOTOBEUS 130W USB C | PD-061PT | 1 | $89.99 | Either of the first two ports can output 100W if nothing else is connected. Includes extension cable |
UGREEN Nexode 100W USB C | 40737 | 1 | $79.99 | Top two ports (labeled C1, C2) provide 100W each if nothing else is connected. |
Dell Slim Power Adapter – 130W Type-C | 450-AHOM | 1 | 66.99 | Worked well, bulkier than other options but includes a USB C Cable. |
WOTOBEUS 200W USB C | PD-065PT | 2 | $129.99 | Four ports total. Love the flexibility – plug straight into outlet or use the included detachable cord. clearly marks the first two ports as 100W and the others less. |
SlimQ 240W DC & USB-C | SlimQ-F240 | 2 | $139.99 | Includes 20V DC output port, helpful if you have a laptop that takes that. Adaptors available for HP, Dell, Lenovo, and Asus laptops. |
If you want to know how your existing power adapter might work for SL charging or if you have your eye on something that’s just not on our list, here are a few things to consider:
- Be sure to look for “USB PD” on the label.
- 65W+ is recommended. 100W will give you the shortest charge times.
- If an adapter says it’s 100W, that’s the total for all ports. If it has multiple ports, still look at the details for each port.
- For example, there are some 2-port 100W chargers which will supply 65W max on one port and 35W max on the other, even if you only have one thing plugged in.
If you have a charge adapter that you love, let us know! We’d love to post it here.
