    USB-C PD Charger Recommendations

    I’m looking to purchase 4 sets to have in my grilling tools for my Fireboards. I’m like a bull in the china shop, I run shit over so easy, generally when backing up, or turning. And I have gone through everything that came from FireBoard and the ones I have now, are not likely to last more than a year. But I would like to buy something that’s a bit more rugged to use.

    Anyone have recommendations on these, stuff that can handle being in our ways of cooking?

    USB-C PD Charger, that’s their words on the cord.

    Are you looking for the cords or the actual charging unit itself? The cords are consumable and I just toss them when they die. No brand has ever lasted very long. The charger itself, I do like Anker.

      Yep. Even the heavy duty cords just wear out or get broken. At least around here.

      I too like Anker. I have at least 5 of them since Apple doesn’t include them anymore with their new products that utilize USB-C cords. I prefer over the ones Apple makes because they’re smaller.

      I'm on the Anker bandwagon as well. Good products, but I'm not sure if they are any more durable than others.

    My Fireboard is new enough that the manual was still easy to find. It says any standard USB C cable will work for charging. I just did a quick search and it looks like there are many options and vendors to choose from if you opt to get a heavy duty USB C cable.

      I use this, I've used it for the FB before when I forgot to charge it before a cook. And we also use it a lot when on vacation for our phones. Fits nicely in my pocket or wifes purse. DO NOT buy generic chargers, it's a lottery ticket to a house fire.

      When I had to use the charger I actually have a lithium envelope for my RC batteries, but I suspect a sandwich baggy would suffice. I won't use a plug as I don't trust them to be rated for outdoor use, then again my USB C cables probably aren't either

      Amazon.com: Anker Portable Charger, USB-C PortableCharger 10000mAh with 20W Power Delivery, 523 Power Bank (PowerCore Slim 10K PD) for iPhone 14/13/12 Series, S10, Pixel 4 and More (Black) : Cell Phones & Accessories

        For a portable charger, I just bought a Nimble Champ but haven't put it to work yet.

          If it's just for the house that seems to be a good one, I love my Anker, smaller profile than our phones but can charge both of our phones to get us through the day in bad signal areas or high use vacation scenarios without being a burden.

        I'll second STEbbq 's recommendation for Anker products. These two have been providing stellar performance for a variety of devices:

        The newest: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4DGBHY2?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detail s

        It's slightly less expensive still-available predecessor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...e?ie=UTF8&th=1

        I've got several of each and couldn't be happier.

          55.5Wh. Talabox maybe $15, hard shell. Click image for larger version

            I've been using this one since September. Seems solid. A nice benefit, wireless charging works on my Galaxy phone with a stout case, which others wouldn't. It's sold private labelled through a ham radio outfit, but I found the same unit on the universal online sales site at about $25 less..
