Universal Travel Adapter PD (Power Delivery). help!

Hi, I have to admit that I am not an expert and I need some advice.I travel quite often to remote areas of Africa, Asia, South America and I need a good Universal Travel Adapter to be able to quickly recharge my devices: Osmo Pocket 3 batteries, Notebook, batteries for my lamp, etc.I need a Universal Travel Adapter PD (Power Delivery) that allows me to fully exploit my needs. Sometimes I recharge them individually but sometimes also simultaneously.I already know that these recharges can deteriorate the batteries more quickly, but I will recharge them about 4-5 times and no more on each trip. I travel twice a year, so all the other times I will recharge the batteries at home in a slower way.My question: can anyone recommend me a good and reliable plug adapter, Universal Travel Adapter PD (Power Delivery)? Could a 65W be enough?T HANK YOU for your kind replies.

My current charger by Samsyng that I bought when I got my new A16 5G Samsung, is labeled 25W. It charges it to 100%, starting with battery at 35% in about 1h 25m approx.
 
Start by determining what voltage levels (and therefore what power levels) are needed by each device. Probably, a laptop computer is the biggest draw – my Lenovo needs a 60 watt/20 volt PD supply. Determine the highest draw items, and which things you'll want to power/charge at the same time.

This will give you the biggest single load you have, the maximum total load, and the number of ports.

Let's say you have these devices to charge at the same time:

● Laptop, 20 volts, 60 watts

● Device x, 15 volts, 45 watts

● Phone, 9 volts, 25 watts

To charge these devices at the same time, you'd need a 130 watt PD supply with at least 3 ports.

Here's where it gets a bit tricky. Let's say you find a 5 port charger that can supply 180 watts. Looks like that's a good option. But wait. You need to determine what each port is capable of, and sometimes they aren't so forthcoming with this info. Dig into the details and you may find:

● 4 ports are capable of supplying 15 volts, 45 watts at the same time.

● 2 ports can supply 15v/45w while 2 ports can supply 9v/27w and the last port can supply 5v/10w.

● Other combinations of loads per port, totaling 180 watts.

The critical thing to note is that no port can supply 20v/60w. So this supply wouldn't work to power the laptop even if it's the only device connected. Make sure the the PD charger can supply the maximum needed voltage/power through a single port while also powering other devices.

Be very careful if any of your devices require 12 volts – 12 volt operation is no longer part of the USB C PD standard. Some supplies continue to support it but not all do.


Also, be sure that the supply can handle the needed input voltage – not all of them can handle the 100v – 240v range.

One final point: you can't power a bunch of different PD devices through a USB hub.
 
I don't know how to thank you for the precious information. However, what I connect to it is all under 12 volts. I ask you one last question:can you indicate some specific model of Universal Travel Adapter? I repeat: It is difficult for me to connect 3 devices at the same time but sometimes I connect 2 to the Adapter. On my trips I have to travel light.I had thought of this model, but you will surely have a better model to suggest:https://www.amazon.it/LENCENT-Adatt...7?__mk_it_IT=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=OZWYNMVDDV47&dib=eyJ 2IjoiMSJ9.NOeUOKFl0LqD2XaWEk7K_HQhg8NI_7UXX2p__fj06RokBqgWWtBt87m7Z74q0pcfqaa2EQXok4lt cvQq1AOaGCK2PoSGFWkocQskC5YQhzIa8yNnIRtFT4j_nd6oB1RQM99wF6zeUmYJibw_Vneafafw4pm6CpwOIb DWJKfcpnqdkNbePS8OIhBZjDmuVRKenkb5Gjg0V6TmtqSiyUe5-Ic8DsuI9h7BuvZ1BkwQcuVGzQaVaUnEOrBl c5tNA4chqlpVpmkBnzI-0aAx7kBBg8hVd56JsM0iZnj67SQyuKs.mpCRmHbTYBFezWLjc6qrANYFZhYOytGp8l s69kNJZyw&dib_tag=se&keywords=Adapter%2BUniversal%2Bprotocol%2BPD%2B30W&qid=1745484611&sprefix=adaptor%2BUniversal%2Bprotocol%2Bpd%2B30w%2Caps%2C123&sr=8-7&th=1
 
When I travel for extended periods away from the grid, I rely on my trusty USB battery bank. For the Phone, I also have a mobile wireless charger disk, which is slower but cordless. Your link has only one male plug to suit your target country and the receptacle outlet supports all

I already have a Powerbank, I am looking for a Universal travel adapter for electricity. I apologize if I expressed myself badly or if I did not specify it. Sorry.
 
I thought all mobile chargers these days were universal AC voltage butyou may just need a plug adapter. Those are common.

Check the label fine print.
