The Coolest Looking Charger I’ve Ever Bought Just Got 22% Off on Amazon

That’s all Antoni Spadaforawine. Our Senior Security and Networking Editor loves his charging gadgets, and when we wrote an article about what was the best thing you bought on Prime Dayjust had to go and buy a cute robot GaN charger. So of course I had to go out and buy myself a USC-B robot charger, right?

Currently The GravaStar 65W USB-C Alpha64 Robot GaN Charger Block is on sale for $49 on Amazon. And hoo-boy, I hope I never have to type out such a long product name again. But wait! That’s not all. If you apply the 25% off coupon code on the screen, this deal gets even sweeter, dropping the price to $37. That’s a sweet $23 savings off the regular list price of $60 for what is hands down the coolest charger I’ve ever owned.

I’ll be completely honest with you: I bought the GravaStar robo-charger because I’m a huge man-child who loves buying fun-looking gadgets. As an ’80s kid who loves movies like “Flight of the Navigator” and “Batteries Not Included,” how could I not immediately fall in love with an adorable little robot with blinking eyes that lets me know when my devices are charging?

Despite its cutesy retro sci-fi look, the Alpha64 brings just as much functionality to the party as it does fun. And just in case you’re wondering “What the heck is a GaN charger?!” let my rival Anthony recap what makes them so useful:

What is a GaN charger?

“While standard power supplies are based on silicon, GaN chargers use gallium nitride—hence GaN—which is a semiconductor that runs cooler than standard charger components like silicon. Because they are very efficient at conducting current, you can squeeze more power out of a smaller charger. GaN chargers can fit multiple ports close together and distribute power to them more efficiently.”

Best regards, Anthony.

So yes, they are awesome when it comes to power efficiency. Thanks to GaN technology, GravaStar claims its little robot can charge a MacBook Air from 0% to 51% in just 30 minutes. And based on my experience with the charger, which looks like a long-lost cousin of “WALL-E,” the Alpha64 can charge my M4 iPad Pro faster than any USB charger I’ve had in the past.

It is also packed with safety features that prevent overvoltage, overcurrent, short circuit, overheating, overload, undervoltage, electrostatic discharge and anti-interference protection problems. Phew!

So if you want a little droid to quickly charge your favorite gadgets, take advantage of this offer while it lasts.
