I have several usb-c devices:

My Samsung Galaxy phone

My camera battery charger

My rechargeable head torch

My portable battery/device charger

I would like: One cable to rule them all, one cable to find them, One cable to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them; In the Land of my travel shit where the shadows lie.

What wattage, version, output, recommendations can you give me.

Currently I have 5 cables, but I should really only need one.

Thanks in advance

    Ugh. It is a headache. I’m not aware of a naming convention to simplify this unfortunately. You want to look for peak power 240W. Usb 3.2 gen2.

    Cable that meets both of those should be universal ime.

    That’s kind of the point of USB C, you can use one cable to charge all of those things. As far as wattage and output it would depend on the devices requirements, but I have a fast charger I bought at Target and honestly it works fine for all of my devices

      Sorry, but that’s really not the case. My phone cable won’t charge the power bank or the head torch, but will charge the camera battery, hence my question

        I suspect that you already have one cable that will charge all five devices. The device pulls the necessary current, the cord does not push current into the device. This means your most capable charger should charge all of the devices.

          This is awesome advice, thank you and might be the reason why some things charge on my adapter and some things don’t, while on my partners they do.

          I’ve ordered a new 65w travel adapter after reading your comment, mine was quite old, before Usb-c PD I think.
