Phone charger - which brand?

Actually I don't need it for my phone, but I need USB charger with 10W output (5V,2A). And I would like it not to cost too much, because I need more than one, but if its guaranteed made in Europe... Or any asian made that is not China? I know this is BuyEuropean, but if there is no option, my second rule is no China/US. Thank you

I don't want to ruin your day, but China might have a monopoly on those.

Ikea had a range of fairly good phone chargers a number of years ago, I wonder if they kept that line up to date

Edit: yep:

45w usb-c https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/sjoess-45w-2-port-usb-charger-fast-charging-80574457/

17w USB-A https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/smahagel-3-port-usb-charger-white-40539183/

They have a wireless charger too

Though it's not necessarily clear where they're made

They're made in China unfortunately.

I think Anker is the company for you. Based in England and Germany.

Anker ist chinesisch und das schon lange. Anker is chinese and has been for a long time.

Where have you seen the “based in England and Germany”?

D_a_X@feddit.org · 3 pts · 1y

The German part is probably a mistake because I thought it was about this company: https://www.anker.net/

ANKER Solutions GmbH is a 140-year-old German company, but it is not ANKER SOLIX

Raspberry Pi power supplies are made in Cambodia (yes, really - though may just be final assembly). The one for the Pi 4 is USB-C and does 15W/3A.

Whatever you do, dont buy HAMA

They are such a scam with their cable and electric products

You know what, I think I had HAMA once, and it was unable to charge anything...
