How it was tested
- standby (idle) power draw
- single-device charging power ramp at the start, 5 minutes, and 30 minutes, measured at both the wall outlet and the receiving power bank, with charger efficiency computed from the difference
- charger surface/case temperature after 30 minutes of single-device charging
- physical size in cubic inches, compared within wattage tier
- wall-outlet pullout/retention force measured with a force gauge, compared within wattage tier (corded chargers skipped)
- maximum simultaneous multi-device output using all ports at once, with resulting temperature and any wattage drop under sustained load
- efficiency and temperature under the multi-device max-output test, compared within wattage tier
