Checking USB power output
 

Following on from my brief foray into solar power, I noted that it wasn't
easy to measure the power output of the USB adapter.

Amazon offers, for instance
https://www.amazon.co.uk/COOWOO-Mult...y-Banks-Black/
dp/B06XFZFZX6/

or

https://www.amazon.co.uk/PortaPow-Mo...ers-Panels/dp/
B01CVMAK2M/.

I'm sure some people here have used such things. Does anyone have a
recommendation?

Should I be looking for USB 3 capability for the few USB 3 devices I use
(none of which are chargeable).

Cheers

USB 3 can also provide more power.

As standard, USB 2 can provide up to 500mA; USB 3 up to 900mA and
special versions for fast charging connected devices, up to 1500mA.

The latest USB 3.1 (IIRC) can supply a lot more than that and at a
higher voltage than 5V.
