30W, gallium nitride, Quick Charge 4.0, and one decision to make: how many sockets you want on the front.
Both versions are the same thirty watts, the same GaN, the same protocols and the same Australian plug. The only thing that changes is the port layout, and the price follows it.
Single port — USB-C. One socket, and the full thirty watts always goes to it. Nothing shares, nothing negotiates, and whatever you plug in gets the maximum the 30w usb c charger can give.
Two ports — USB-C and USB-A. The same thirty watts, split between them when both are in use. The second socket is for the cable you have not replaced yet.
That is the whole choice, and it comes down to one question: do you still own a USB-A cable? If everything in the house ends in USB-C, the single-port 30w usb c charger is the one and the extra socket buys you nothing. If there is still a USB-A lead in the car or the bedside drawer, the two-port version is worth the difference.
Quick Charge 3.0 and USB Power Delivery were rivals. Two different fast-charging schemes, and a plug that spoke one did not necessarily do anything useful for a phone that spoke the other. You ended up with a drawer of chargers that were fast for one handset and slow for the next.
Quick Charge 4.0’s headline change was that it is built on USB Power Delivery rather than competing with it. It works over USB-C, and it is PD-compatible.
So one plug covers both camps — a Samsung or Xiaomi handset expecting Qualcomm fast charging, and an iPhone or Pixel expecting Power Delivery, and neither one falls back to a trickle. Whichever phone comes out of your pocket, this 30w usb c power adapter is the fast one for it. Both versions have it.
30W is the “one device, properly” tier. It is roughly where a large phone stops being the limiting factor and starts charging as fast as it is willing to — which is the reason to step up from a 20W plug to a 30w charger.
At full speed: iPhone 15 and 16 including the Pro Max, Google Pixel including the Pro, Samsung Galaxy S and Note, iPad Air and the standard iPad, and every smaller device you own. A 30w charger is the right size for all of them.
The difference shows in the first half hour, on a big-battery phone, which is the window most people actually charge in.
It will run, but not at their own rate: an iPad Pro, a Nintendo Switch, a Steam Deck. These want more, and a 30w charger will hold them steady rather than fill them quickly.
Not a laptop plug. A MacBook Air will charge from thirty watts while it sleeps and lose ground while you work. The bigger bricks in the range are built for that, and we would rather point you at one.
Not thirty per socket. Plug in two devices and the supply divides between them — right for a phone and a set of earbuds overnight, slow if you expect two phones to charge at full rate at once.
That is the trade for the second socket, and it is worth knowing before you choose rather than after. If the phone is the only thing that matters, the single-port version never has to make that decision.
Gallium nitride switches faster than the silicon in an older power supply and wastes less of the input as heat. Less waste heat means less housing needed to shed it, which is why this 30w gan charger is about the size of the plug rather than the size of the plug plus somewhere for the warmth to go.
It runs cooler in the socket, too. The same efficiency that shrinks it is why this 30w usb c power adapter is not uncomfortable to unplug after a night on charge.
The pins are moulded into the body — nothing to fold out, nothing to snap off, nothing to lose. A folding-pin plug is lighter in a bag and is also the one that turns up with a pin bent sideways.
Two colours, black and white, on both versions. The 30w adapter is small enough to disappear behind a bedside table either way.
The charger carries the Regulatory Compliance Mark — the tick in the triangle, printed on the body.
That is the mark Australian law requires on mains equipment, and it covers three things together: electrical safety to the AS/NZS standards, electromagnetic compatibility, and a registered Australian supplier standing behind the declaration. Plenty of cheap wall plugs sold into Australia through marketplaces carry none of it. We hold the certificate and will send it if you ask.
Alongside it: overcurrent, overvoltage, short-circuit and over-temperature protection, and a flame-retardant polycarbonate shell.
Stocked in Melbourne, not drop-shipped, and RCM marked rather than hoping nobody checks. Order before 10am and your 30w usb c power adapter ships the same day via Australia Post with tracking and insurance, backed by our 180-day warranty and a team who will tell you which of the two you actually need.

Will charge, more slowly than their own supply:
Not the right charger for a laptop. A MacBook Air, XPS 13 or Surface will draw from thirty watts but not fast enough to charge while you use it. The 65W and 100W bricks in the range are built for that.
Choosing between the two versions:
Both fast-charging camps, from one plug. Quick Charge 4.0 is built on USB Power Delivery rather than competing with it, so a Samsung or Xiaomi handset expecting Qualcomm fast charging and an iPhone or Pixel expecting Power Delivery both get what they are asking for. Both versions have it.
Any USB-C cable works. At thirty watts there is nothing to match on rating — no e-marker, no 5A lead, no special cable. A standard USB-C to USB-C or USB-C to Lightning cable is all it takes.
RCM marked. Electrical safety to the AS/NZS standards, electromagnetic compatibility, and a registered Australian responsible supplier behind it — the mark Australian law requires on mains equipment. We hold the certificate and will send it on request.
