Baseus Compact Charger 3-Port (CCXJ020301) 17W USB Wall Charger Review
The Baseus Compact Charger 3-Port (CCXJ020301) arrived on my desk promising fast and efficient charging for multiple devices simultaneously. With its sleek design and claims of intelligent charging technology, I was eager to put it to the test. Over the past few weeks, this charger has been a constant companion, powering everything from my iPhone and iPad to my Android tablet and various other USB-powered gadgets. This review details my experience.
The Baseus Compact Charger boasts three USB-A ports, allowing for simultaneous charging. The claimed 17W output, coupled with its Smart IC technology, suggests the ability to intelligently adjust power delivery for optimal charging speed and safety across a range of devices. Its compact size makes it ideal for travel, and the robust build quality (aluminum alloy + PC material) inspires confidence in its durability. The matte black finish is both stylish and fingerprint-resistant.

During my testing, the Baseus charger consistently delivered on its promise of fast charging. I simultaneously charged my iPhone 13, an iPad Air, and a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7. While not achieving the absolute fastest charging speeds possible with individual wall chargers, the simultaneous charging speeds were impressive. The charger remained cool to the touch even during extended use. The Smart IC technology seemed to work as advertised, detecting each device and optimizing the power delivery accordingly. I experienced no issues with overcharging or overheating. I also tested the charger with a variety of other devices, including Bluetooth speakers and smartwatches, all with satisfactory results. The input voltage adaptability has proved extremely useful during my recent travels.
One minor point to note is that when charging three high-power devices concurrently, the charging speed on each device is slightly slower than when charging individually with a higher wattage charger. However, this is expected and is acceptable considering the simultaneous charging capability.
Pros:
- Compact and portable design.
- Three USB-A ports for simultaneous charging.
- Smart IC technology for safe and efficient charging.
- Fast charging speeds (considering simultaneous charging).
- Durable build quality.
- Wide input voltage range (100V-240V) suitable for international travel.
Cons:
- Slightly slower charging speeds for each device when charging three simultaneously compared to using individual higher-wattage chargers.
- No USB-C ports (although, this isn’t unusual for this type of charger).
Overall, the Baseus Compact Charger 3-Port (CCXJ020301) is a highly effective and versatile USB wall charger. Its combination of compact size, multiple ports, intelligent charging technology, and durable construction makes it an excellent choice for anyone needing to charge multiple devices simultaneously. While it doesn’t quite achieve the absolute fastest charging speeds for individual devices, the convenience and reliability more than compensate for this minor drawback. I would highly recommend this charger for everyday use and travel.
