Not long ago, I posted a review of a QC 3.0 charger. It was very inexpensive when I bought it, but turned out to be not fully functional. In fact, the QC feature itself didn't work. To fix it, I found the right chip on Taobao, ordered it, repaired the charger, and decided to report back in case it might help someone.

I was browsing Taobao and happened to come across a charger that caught my eye with its low price and pretty decent looks, especially for the price. I ordered it, received it, and was somewhat disappointed—twice, in fact. But more on all that in the review. Inspection, testing, conclusions.

Power banks are pretty rare subjects in my reviews. Somehow, I hardly ever use them in everyday life, but when I was offered the chance to review one, I decided not to turn it down. As usual, this review covers the exterior, teardown, tests, and conclusions.

Standalone devices that support Quick Charge are becoming increasingly common, so I decided to take a closer look at what “feeds” these “pets”—a QC 3.0 charger (power supply). It’s very compact, but you can read all about it in the review: as usual, I’ll take a look, run some tests, take it apart, and share my conclusions.

Not long ago, I posted a review of an almost no-name charger (power supply) rated for 5 V and a claimed current of 7.2 A. As it turned out, the actual power was considerably lower. Today I have a model from the better-known (or perhaps simply known) brand BlitzWolf on my desk, with a claimed combined output current of up to 10 A. Inspection, teardown, tests—as usual.

Not long ago, I was asked to review a USB charger. Since I enjoy tinkering with all kinds of power supplies, I agreed. So I’ll take it apart, examine it, and test it.

A short video that could easily go in the “notes from the field” category.

Another review of another small charger for 3S (12.6 V) battery packs. Not long ago, I published a review of the 3 A version; today, it’s a simpler 1 A model. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned, but I won’t get ahead of myself—the details are in the review.
