Collection: Battery Chargers & Power

Chargers and power gear keep your devices running — a phone charger and cables at home, a power bank when you're out, and power boards to run several devices from one outlet. The key is matching the charger's output to what your device can accept, since an underpowered charger is slow and a mismatched one can be unsafe. Think about which devices you're charging, whether you need portable power, and always buy power gear that meets Australian electrical safety requirements.

What power gear do you need?

Different situations need different solutions:

• Wall charger or usb charger: the everyday charger for phones and tablets, with USB-A or USB-C outputs.
• Power bank: a portable battery that charges devices away from an outlet, sized in milliamp hours.
• Multi-port charger: charges several devices from one wall socket, useful for a family or a desk.
• Power board or surge protector: runs several mains devices from one outlet, with surge protection guarding against spikes.

What is a fast charger?

A fast charger delivers more power than a standard one, so a compatible device charges in a fraction of the time. The device, the charger and the cable all have to support it, and a power adapter rated below your device's requirement will simply charge at normal speed.

What size power bank do you need?

Power bank capacity is measured in milliamp hours (mAh), and it tells you roughly how many times it'll refill a device. A typical phone battery is around 4,000 to 5,000 mAh, so a 10,000 mAh power bank gives roughly two full phone charges allowing for conversion losses, and a 20,000 mAh one about four. Bigger means heavier, so 10,000 mAh suits daily carry and 20,000 mAh suits travel and camping. Check the output wattage too, since a low-output bank charges a tablet or laptop very slowly. Note that airlines have rules about carrying power banks, so check before flying.

How do you charge devices safely?

Charging safety comes down to using the right gear properly. Use a charger that meets Australian electrical safety requirements, which for mains-powered items means the regulatory compliance mark — cheap uncertified chargers are a genuine fire and shock risk. Match the charger's output to your device's requirement: an underpowered one charges slowly, while a good-quality charger negotiates the correct rate with the device. Don't cover a charging device or leave it charging on bedding, since batteries generate heat. Replace damaged cables rather than taping them, and don't daisy-chain power boards.

Common questions

What size power bank do I need?
10,000 mAh gives roughly two phone charges and suits daily carry; 20,000 mAh gives about four and suits travel and camping. Bigger capacity means more weight.

What is fast charging?
Higher-power charging where the charger and device negotiate a faster rate. Both the charger and the cable must support it, and the device has to be capable, or it charges at normal speed.

Can I use any charger with my phone?
Use one matching your device's required output. An underpowered charger works but charges slowly. Avoid cheap uncertified chargers, which are a real fire and shock risk.

Can I take a power bank on a plane?
Airlines have rules on power bank capacity and require them in carry-on rather than checked luggage. Check your airline's current limits before flying, since they vary.

Can I pay for chargers with Afterpay?
Yes. You can split it with Afterpay, Zip, Klarna or PayPal Pay in 4. Our chargers and power gear start from $22, which is four fortnightly payments of $5.50.
