The latest version also sports a funky, translucent design with a metallic finish (purple is best). (It covers more than 200 countries.) There’s an auto-resetting fuse to protect your gadgets from power surges, and the Passport III has a 10 amp limit. It has a boxy design with sliding toggles to switch between US, European, and British plugs. Zendure's all-in-one travel adapter is what I toss in my bag first for every trip. The downside? It's frequently out of stock. The rare British Standard 8546 compliance guarantees that the OneWorld PD has been fully tested and is one of the safest travel adapters you can buy. Over-current protection automatically shuts down the power if there’s abnormal usage, and it resets via a button on the top. Most universal travel adapters offer two-pin US plugs and make the third pin on the UK plug plastic, but the OneWorld PD provides fully grounded connections for every plug type to protect you from the risk of shock due to faulty wiring. What sets the AC plugs apart is that each one is earthed. You can plug in your laptop's AC charger to speedily juice it back up, but that means carrying the heavy charging brick around. That's enough to fast-charge most phones and tablets, not so much a laptop.

There are three USB-A ports on the bottom as well as a USB-C port that supports Power Delivery and Quick Charge 3.0 to deliver up to 18 watts.

It promises to work in more than 150 countries. The OneWorld PD has sliding toggles on the side that cover the US/Canada, the UK, and Australia/China, and you can pop out a much smaller stand-alone European adapter. ( This video explains grounding really well.) Thankfully, there's overload protection with an 8-amp fuse, and it comes with a spare, but you should not use this adapter with any device that has a third metal ground pin on its plug. The main problem is the lack of any grounding, which is meant to reduce the risk of an electrical shock if there's a fault, such as a loose wire inside a device with a metal case. The USB-A ports can deliver a maximum charging rate of 15.5 watts, while the USB-C ports offer up to 18 watts (one PD and one QC 3.0). You have a universal input socket, and Ceptics has included three USB-A ports on the bottom and two USB-C ports on the side. I appreciate how securely the plugs lock into place, and you must press a side button to retract them. The classic slider design pushes out EU, UK, and US plugs, and you can rotate the pins for sockets in Australia or China.
