The everyday charger for two devices
The 35 W Xtorm GaN2 Ultra answers a very common need: charging a phone and a tablet, or two phones, without taking up two sockets. It offers one USB-C PD (35W) port and one USB-A (18W) port, all in a 57 g housing.
Situations where it proves useful
At home
On the bedside table it powers the phone through the night while the e-reader or earbuds use the other port. In a family, one unit per room saves carrying adapters from bedroom to bedroom.
Travelling and at work
A weekend by train, an off-site meeting, a waiting room: take out the charger, find a socket, and two devices pick up energy again. For a laptop, 35 W may fall short depending on the model; check the value yours asks for before counting on it.
What can be said about the construction
The only construction detail supplied is the 57 g weight. No dimensions, materials or protections are described. The GaN2 Ultra name is part of the model designation; we draw no extra performance claims from it. As for bulk, simply set that weight against what you already carry. Since the datasheet is brief, it is wise to read the manufacturer’s manual for anything beyond the figures listed below, in particular how the two ports behave when both are in use at the same time.
Using it in four moves
- Plug the charger into an accessible wall socket, without letting it dangle from an unsteady power strip.
- Connect the first device to the USB-C port with a suitable cable.
- Connect the second to the USB-A port.
- When the batteries are full, unplug the block so it does not stay warm for nothing.
No step needs a tool. If you plan to feed it from an inverter or an off-grid system, ask a professional to confirm that everything is compatible.
The takeaways
- Two outputs for two devices, with a single connection point.
- 35 W on the USB-C PD side, suited to phones and tablets.
- A weight of 57 g that goes unnoticed in a pocket.

Using it safely
Plug the charger in somewhere open, away from curtains and textiles. If the housing is unusually hot, disconnect it and let it cool. Do not force a connector that will not go in: check its orientation or its type. Cables must be intact, and the output limits of each port must be respected. With no protection rating given, avoid bathrooms and damp places.
Storage and cleaning
A plain dry cloth is enough, applied with the power off. Keep the charger in a pouch with its cables; avoid pockets full of keys, which could scratch the housing or bend the pins.
