Highly recommend the chargers that are also power banks, like this:

Basically you just plug it into the wall to charge, you don't need a separate charger to charge your power bank. I'm surprised at how much more convenient it is to me.

Thanks for the write up. Definitely some things to consider. Couple questions:
Would a 65W charger like this work to charge the Mac while in use? It's not quite 67 like you said but its close?
Also you put a lot of emphasis on charging the MBP while in use vs not in use.....If I used something 60W or less WHILE it is in use, what would happen? Just charge slower but do no harm?
If I am using all three ports to charge, even if it's going slow, I imagine it could still charge everything over the course of the night. Is that probably true?
You mention only needing to charge three things. Are you simultaneously using that to charge other things at the same time? I didn't realize iPads could charge other things! I found the power bank I have. Do you know if this will support through charging (so I can charge the bank and connect the bank to something else to charge)?
Unfortunately, I can't switch out some of my tech. What camera do you have? I have Sony a7iv, and I'm not quite sure but I think it can be charged by USB-C....do you happen to know? Im really new to the thing so apologies for not knowing.
Thanks again for the help, curious to what you think of these!
I recently condensed my tech pouch to 3 items for all my devices
Mogics bagel is great because it has adapters for most of the world and acts as an extension cord, plus has 2 usb outlets on top of the normal plugs. I use it for domestic and international travel, as the extension cord function is great anywhere.
Anker 733(could also use the Anker 521 for usb-c only if you don’t need to charge a laptop. also a bit smaller it looks like). The 733 is 65w, enough to charge my laptop and it doubles as a battery bank. The 521 is only 20W, good for mobile devices. A bit pricey, but I never need another now, and I don’t have to worry about prioritizing charging my phone vs my battery bank when I go to bed.
CHAFON multi charging cablehas both usb-a and usb-c inputs and outputs, as well as iPhone connectors and micro usb outputs. I saw you use android so you can probably find a better option than this that is usb-c specific, but a handy item nonetheless. This one is tiny, if you need something longer there is a more expensive brand that makes 6-10 ft versions.
I’m on mobile so apologies in advance if any of the links are funky.
Good luck!
