After burning through countless chargers and dealing with dead batteries at the worst moments, I started documenting what works and what fails. These are my findings after three years of testing.
Back in 2022, I was traveling through Japan when my laptop charger died in Osaka. No backup. The replacement I bought at a convenience store lasted exactly four days before it started overheating. That trip taught me something important: most people have no idea what makes a good charger.
Since then, I have tested over 40 different charging devices across various brands and price points. Some were excellent. Many were mediocre. A few were genuinely dangerous. This site exists to share what I have learned so you can avoid the mistakes I made.

Building a reliable wireless charging corner took more trial and error than expected. Here is what finally worked.

I test in actual situations: airports, hotel rooms, coffee shops, home offices. Not a controlled lab.
I buy everything myself. The moment money enters the equation, objectivity leaves.
