TL;DR
Baseus’ EnerCore CG11 universal travel adapter is on sale at Amazon for about $34 through January 12, matching its previous low. The compact unit supports charging up to six devices, includes a retractable 27-inch USB-C cable and several USB ports, and works in more than 200 countries.
What happened
The Baseus EnerCore CG11 universal travel adapter is being offered at a discounted price on Amazon through January 12, dropping to roughly $34 and matching the lowest price seen in late November. The block-style adapter can supply power to as many as six devices simultaneously and supports four plug types for use in over 200 countries, including the US, UK, much of Europe, Australia, India, and South Africa. It includes a braided, retractable USB-C cable that extends to about 27 inches and is rated to deliver up to 70W. On the adapter’s underside are three additional USB ports: a USB-C port rated to 60W, a USB-A port also rated to 60W, and a USB-A port at 5W. The unit weighs roughly half a pound, is small enough to fit in a palm, and lacks surge protection — a detail the maker highlights as useful because surge-protected units are often disallowed on cruise ships.
Why it matters
- Consolidates multiple chargers and cables into a single compact unit for travel convenience.
- Built-in, retractable USB-C cord reduces the need to pack a separate cable.
- Wide plug compatibility makes it usable in more than 200 countries without extra adapters.
