What to look for when buying power products
From plug adapters to wireless car chargers, here’s what’s worth considering before you add to basket:
• Charging speed: 18W to 45W gives you that quick top-up when you're in a rush
• Port types: USB-C is the new standard, but make sure it matches your device
• Number of ports: For when one device just isn’t enough
• Power output: Higher wattage = faster charging (hello, tablets)
• Compatibility: Always double-check your device model to avoid surprises
• Durability: Go for braided cables and solid connectors for long-term use
• Sustainability: EE’s dbramante1928 range is made using recycled materials, so it’s better for the planet too.

Charging cables: USB-C, USB-A and Lightning
A solid cable is the unsung hero of any charging setup, but not all cables are created equal. EE’s dbramante1928 range features durable, tangle-resistant and planet-friendly cables in 1m and 2m lengths for every port type.
Key tip: For newer Android phones and tablets, go USB-C to USB-C. For iPhones, go USB-C to Lightning. And if you’re still on USB-A, we’ve got you covered too.

Key tip: For newer Android phones and tablets, go USB-C to USB-C. For iPhones, go USB-C to Lightning. And if you’re still on USB-A, we’ve got you covered too.

We recommend:
1m Cable USB-C to USB-C 60W: Fast, durable and ideal for daily use
2m Cable USB-C to USB-C 60W: Extra length desks, sofas or awkward plug spots
1m Cable USB-C to Lightning 27W: Apple-friendly and fast
1m Cable USB-A to USB-C 18W: Great for older plug adapters

Wall plugs: fast, compact and powerful
Want your device to charge in minutes, not hours? The plug matters. We stock single and dual-port options that support USB-A and USB-C, including chargers up to 45W for super-fast power that actually keeps up with your day.

Quick tip: 25W-30W plugs are great for most smartphones. If you’ve got a tablet or multiple devices, 45W is your new best friend.

We recommend:
25W USB-C Single Charger: Slim, quick and ideal for travel
30W USB-C Single Charger: Great for phones and tablets alike
45W USB-C Single Charger: Ideal for larger devices and fast top-ups
Dual 18W USB-A + 25W USB-C Plug: Charge your phone and headphones together
Dual 30W USB-C Charger: Two USB-C ports, one plug, no problem

Which charger is right for me?
text

Wireless chargers: fast and fuss-free
If your phone supports wireless charging, this might be the easiest upgrade you make. Just place your phone on a pad or stand and let the battery do its thing. No plugs, no cables, no fumbling behind furniture.
Good to know: Most wireless chargers work with iPhone 8 / Samsung Galaxy S6 and newer. If in doubt, check your phone model.

We recommend:
• Wireless Charging Pad: Slim and simple for desks or bedside tables
• Wireless Charging Stand: Keeps your phone upright while it charges
• Wireless Car Holder (MagSafe): Snap on, power up, and go

In-car chargers and phone holders
Long drive? Forgot to plug in overnight? Maps draining your battery by lunchtime? We’ve all been there. Whether you’re commuting, road-tripping, or chauffeuring the family, a decent in-car charger or holder can save your phone (and your sanity).

Top tip: For reliable in-car top-ups, look for chargers with at least 18W output, especially if you’re streaming music or running Google Maps in the background.

We recommend:
• Dual USB Car Charger: Charge two devices at once and avoid the dreaded “my phone’s on 3%” standoff.
• MagSafe Wireless Car Holder: Quick, snap-on charging for iPhones with zero cable fiddling. Great for sat-nav and Spotify on the go.
• Adjustable Car Vent Mount + Charger: Fits most phones and keeps them steady, even on bumpy roads or roundabout marathons.

What do all the numbers mean?
Feeling lost in a sea of acronyms and power ratings? Here's a quick jargon buster:
• W (Wattage) - How powerful the charger is. Higher wattage means faster charging.
• mAh - Battery capacity. Typically used for power banks, higher mAh means longer charge.
• USB-A / C - Connector types. USB-C is newer, faster and becoming the standard.
• Fast charge - Typically 18W or more. Ideal for getting 50% in under 30 minutes.
