When it comes to the USB-C charger, the brands Anker and SHGRGE have been the two capable options. But, which among the Anker USB-C charger and SHARGE USB-C charger should you go with?
Anker has a stronger presence on Amazon and other online retail stores. It has always been competitive.
While some of the users believe that Anker USB-C chargers provide an exceptional quality of products, a few other users claim that the SH ARGE USB-C chargers offer you access to a better service. So which among them should you go with?
In this post, we are going to make comparisons between the hot-selling Anker PowerPort III 3-Port 65W Charger and the latest SHARGE PD 65W Dual USB C 3-Port GaN Tech Wall Charger.
Anker vs SHARGE
Both Anker PowerPort III 3-Port 65W Charger and SHARGE PD 65W Dual USB C 3-Port GaN Tech Wall Charger are excellent USB-C chargers. They both come with 65W of power output to charge your phone, tablet or laptop.
But regarding the type of charging port, single port output, and size, they still differ greatly.
Small Size vs Super Small Size
The most obvious difference between the two models is their size. Anker 65W measures 3 x 1.2 x 2.8 inches (76 x 31 x 71 mm). That's compact enough for a high-powered 3-port charger
As for the SHARGER 65W, each of its ports is more powerful than Anker's, while it still maintains a small size. At 2.6 x 1.1 x 1.6 inches (66 x 29 x 41 mm), it’s nearly 50% smaller than Anker!
It’s because SHARGE adopts GaN tech. Gallium Nitride (GaN) offers better power efficiency in a smaller area than traditional silicon parts. GaN chargers are physically smaller as they don’t require as many components as silicon chargers.
Comparisons in Charging Port
Another difference between Anker 65W and SHARGE 65W is the specs of their charging ports, which lead to their usage difference.
Anker has a 45W USB-C port and two 12W USB-A ports, while SHARGE has two 65W USB-C ports and one 30W USB-A port. Judging from this aspect, SHARGE is a notch above Anker.
45W USB-C vs 65W USB-C
Anker’s 45W USB-C port support both Qualcomm Quick Charge, Power Delivery, and Apple 2.4A fast-charging protocol. It can charge smartphone and tablet at full speed.
Although it’s able to power some small laptops, when comes to the large laptop like 15” MacBook Pro, it seems to be powerless.
SHARGE has an edge over Anker. It features two USB-C ports. Both ports can output up to 65W of power. Also, they support multiple fast-charging protocols. They can handle 15” MacBook Pro without any problem.
Better yet, dual USB-C ports mean versatile usage. That said, it can fast charge two PD devices simultaneously.
12W USB-A vs 30W USB-A
Anker comes with two 12W USB-A ports, which can juice some small mobile devices such as smartphones, Bluetooth headphones, etc.
SHARGE has just one USB-A port, but it doesn’t matter considering its extra high-performance USB-C port.
SHARGE’s USB-A port outputs up to 30W which is much higher than Anker’s. It supports multiple fast-charging protocols, such as QC3.0, Apple 2.4A, XIAOMI Charge Turbo, and HUAWEI SuperCharge. That means it can fast charge most smartphones on the market.
If a multiport charger is at full load, it will automatically regulate the power output to ensure all devices can be charged as fast as possible. For example, when the SHARGE’s USB-C port works alone, it will output the entire 65W; when its two USB-C ports work simultaneously, they will output at 45W and 18W separately.
Which should you choose?
Well, from the comparisons above, SHARGE PD 65W Dual USB C 3-Port GaN Tech Wall Charger is superior to Anker PowerPort III 3-Port 65W Charger in respect of charging performance and portability. Plus, at the $45.99 sale price, SHARGE is a bit cheaper than Anker ($49.99).
So, we believe that SHARGE PD 65W Dual USB C 3-Port GaN Tech Wall Charger is a better choice. Of course, it’s all up to you based on your needs.
At last, no matter which charger you choose, it’s best to clearly know the input power of your device and whether your device supports Power Delivery in advance. That way, you can make sure your device can take advantage of the most efficient charging.

Perfect travel charger
Bought as a travel charger for my MacBook Air and my iPhone, nice not having to carry two chargers. This charger works great! Have had both devices on it and charges my iPhone from about 20% to full in about 45 minutes and the MacBook from about 10% to full in about an hour. Highly recommend!

It is a game changer
I travel for work and used to carry four charging bricks. This has replaced the bricks and has made me lazy about charging my devices. I can charge devices lightning fast, no longer strategically charging my devices all night. If you have multiple devices that need power this is a game changer.
