USB-C headache (lemmy.world)

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

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.
