The quality of your charger matters. If you’re after better charging speeds and something that lets you plug in a couple of devices at the same time, the Baseus PD3.1 USB-C charger offers all that and more. This charging block is now down by 33% on Amazon, which brings the retail price of $59 to $39. Both Prime and non-Prime members get free delivery with their purchase too, which sweetens the pot even more.

Charge multiple devices at once

This compact block packs a mighty punch. It features four ports that let you power multiple gadgets (smartphone, laptop, earbuds) simultaneously, so you won’t have to wait for one to fully charge before plugging in the next or need a separate charger for each gadget.

The port selection includes three USB-C ports and one USB-A port. The USB-C1 and C2 ports can push up to 140W of power when a single device is plugged in, which (according to the brand) can fully charge a MacBook in about 97 minutes. If you’ve got two hungry laptops, you can also top both of them together. In this setup, each port delivers up to 70W. When you’re using all four, the combined output reaches up to 128W.

The charger is also handy if you prefer travelling light, since packing in this single block with a couple of cables is going to be more than enough. It’s almost 35% smaller than Apple’s standard 140W power adapter. The prongs fold when the charger is not in use, which saves even more space and makes sure it doesn’t scratch the other items in your bag.

Anker takes safety and durability pretty seriously, which is why this block features a really solid build. The GaN technology keeps temperatures in check, so overheating won’t ever be a problem. Compatibility-wise, the charger supports multiple fast charging protocols, including PD3.1. It works well with iPhone, iPad, Samsung phones and tablets, Switch, MacBook, drones, and plenty of other devices.

There’s a lot to like here, especially now that the charger block is available for only $40. That’s after a nice 33% discount. We’d recommend it even at its full price because of how convenient and powerful it is, but this offer makes the purchase a lot easier on your bank account. Grab it quickly, before the price goes back up. We’re expecting it to wrap up soon, so you don’t really have a lot of time left to snag the savings.
