As ZMi is a Xiaomi brand, it’s expected that these will be well put together.

(They also did a tear down of the smaller charger I mentioned, only con was availability - that fits... https://www.chargerlab.com/zmi-zpowe...n-constraints/)


Eyeballing the Griffin and Belkin offers they suspiciously look the same as Aukey
Don’t think so: the Griffin, Belkin and Aukey seem to have differing placement of ports, prongs, and dimensions? Perhaps they all look similar as they start with Navitas reference designs?

USB certified products: https://www.usb.org/products most amazonbasics cables are there, you can grab the ASIN from the URL and search for model number curiously the gen2 cables aren't.
Thanks, didn’t realise it was so easy for AB products!

One of the advantages of buying the Mu One was getting advance notice of the Mu Two, the early price was quite reasonable.
$70 may be acceptable... but a $100 or more retail price is a difficult sell and - especially if those smallish non-GaN chargers are available for 1/2 that - these will remain somewhat niche. (Though, the higher cost is perhaps linked to Navitas licensing fees.)

The kikkerland adapter is still a Road Warrior RW75 knockoff...
Yes, wasn’t aware of the RW. Still, is it certain Kikkerland did not licence the design - seems quite unique, & no other copies flooding the market?

Though, if the design was first unveiled in 2002, it’s now 18+years, the design patent will likely expire soon?
