Instead of the sane approach of specifying 5, 9, 12, 15, and/or 20 volts and the amperages, products insist on listing every model of device in existence instead.
Most will do 12V, but I always want to make sure it’ll power my laptop (20V) as well.
A big thank you to reviewers who post images of the actual products where it shows the relevant info in one short line on the labels:
e.g. PD Output: 5V=3A, 9V=3A, 12V=3A, 15V=3A, 20V=3A
This is mostly the fault of what people search for.
90% of your average buyers don’t go on shopping sites and search “20W USB-C PD Charger” they go on and search “Samsung S22 charger” or whatever they’ve got.
Sellers are incentivised to design the listings around that, or they simply won’t get the clicks.
Yeah, I get the “SEO” aspect of it, but they could at least include the actual specs somewhere.
I always do just so other people can search for it later. There’s sellers of aftermerket chargers that will blur out the specs so you can’t just find a cheaper one.
