While the outside of this new travel adapter has a slightly retro feel, the inside is completely up to date. The primary USB-C port can deliver up to 65W, enough power to charge an iPhone to 50% in under 30 minutes or fully charge a 13-inch MacBook Pro in just two hours. It’s also got sufficient power to charge and power an iPad or other power-hungry device. Passport III uses GaN semiconductor technology to deliver high conversion power in a small form factor without the danger of overheating.
The Passport III can work in over 200 countries and regions thanks to a range of connectors and it is compatible with a broad range of AC voltages ranging from 100 to 250V up to 10A total load. It’s versatile enough to replace a pile of proprietary charging bricks, whether you’re working in your home office, a coffee shop or a hotel room halfway around the world.
Unlike many other chargers on the market, the Passport III has a built-in intelligent auto-resetting 10A fuse that immediately cuts off the flow of power if the temperature of the adapter exceeds 120°C. Once the charger has cooled down, the fuse resets itself and the charger will work normally again. Many other power adapters use a physically replaceable fuse that must be renewed if the charger cuts out.
As I said earlier, the Passport III has slide-out controls that push out prongs to match almost any power outlet whether that be US, Shuko, UK or Australian/NZ types. The charger can accept virtually any type of power plug. This means you can, for example, plug the unit into a European wall socket and then plug in your US hair drier into the Passport III and use it without any problems.
If you’re traveling and want to dump the power adapters you usually need to carry, the Zendure Passport makes a lot more sense and is the ideal travel companion. I’ve been testing a prototype for a few months now and it’s a versatile power supply that is the Swiss Army knife of power adapters. The Zendure Passport III is launching today on Kickstarter. Early birds can grab one for $35/ ￡25.86 / €30.63.
