I want to purchase a charger and cable for my UBook Pro. I want to get the charger and cable on Amazon. Can someone point me to the correct ones for my UBook Pro? My first time using a USB-C port. ---

I use the ZMI 65W PD Charger (HA832) and it works well. ---

I requested about this matter the support but didn’t get any answer so far. I am looking for a car charger for this device. I was very disapointed to know that xiami powerbank 2C 20000 cannot charge it. ---

Do you use both types of ports (USB-A and USB-C)? ---

I am not sure I understand your question. If you mean for charging the UBook Pro, I use the USB-C. I used the USB-A ports on the PD Charger for charging phones. ---

Yes it was exactly wat I asked. Because they have different amperage and voltage. Anyway, the support answered to me that they recommend to use the following charger ![Charger.jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/chuwi/original/2X/f/fd5c4834be087725eb0e78a722faff1ce2e6a07b.jpeg) ---

Baseus 45W dual charger (USB A+USB C) is perfectly working (PD charge, USB C to USB C). Charges at 12v2A (24W) like the original charger. If you use the USB A port, the USB C stops charging the Ubook (it goes down to 5V, which is not enoguth to charge ubook). ---

Anyone know the correct size of the Ubook Pro charging port? I wanted to use USB power delivery charger but would like to buy an adapter to charge via the DC port instead of the USB C Port, but doesn’t seems to be able to buy the correct size (bought 2 already). ---

Did you ever find an answer for this? The tip of my original charger was torn off and I’d like to replace it, but I can’t seem to find anything on eBay or Amazon. Does anyone know of a compatible charger (not USB-C)? The model number on the original charger is: A241-1202000D Input 100-240V – 50/60Hz, 0.8A. Output 12V Brand is “Marshal Corporation.” ![PXL_20210411_211014172](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/chuwi/original/2X/b/bc4736bdf12c40d0340508890becda24380ecdc4.jpeg) ---

This one should do just fine: [12V 2A 3.5X1.35 Oplader Voor Chuwi Ubook Aerobook Lapbook Se 13.3 Teclast X1 2 Pro X3 Pro x5 F6 X6PRO F15 F7 Pro Cube I7 Stylus|Tabletladers| - AliExpress](https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/4001174252310.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.83184f16R24CBF&algo_pvid=c73e1366-575e-40c5-a6e0-08b2607e275f&algo_expid=c73e1366-575e-40c5-a6e0-08b2607e275f-3&btsid=0bb0623416182590581074394e0fa7&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_) Altough I really don’t know why you’d avoid using USB-C. It works flawlessly for me (N4100-model, using a 65W PD-charger) and charges faster than through the original adapter, though not at the full 65W from the charger. ---

I purchased the ZMI zPower 3-Port Travel Charger: 45W USB-C PD and 18W-Split Dual USB-A Wall Charger. It seems to work okay. Recently, we had some winter storms and lost power for a couple of days or so. To ensure I can use all my devices, (Ubook Pro, phones, tablets), I purchased these Imuto battery packs. I am disappointed to say that while these battery packs will charge all of my devices, including my grandchildren’s iPads, when I plug it into the Ubook Pro USB-C, nothing.

Yes, the Ubook Pro has quite a picky charging circuit. It negotiates with the charger/powerbank through PD, but AFAIK it absolutely needs 12v to begin charging. This is pretty rare for powerbanks to support. Since Li-ion batteries run at 3.7v standard you need a lot of conversion (and thus a lot of power-loss) to get to 12v. iPad’s (and most non-laptop devices) accept charge even at the standard USB 5V, which is a lot easier (and cheaper) to implement. However there are powerbanks that are able to do it, like the [ZMI QB823](https://www.zmipowerbank.com/product/PowerBank/QB823.asp) (65W, 20Ah) that I’ve been using for about a month now. Still, it’s way better than the Hi10X. That one doesn’t negotiate about voltages or currents but just expects 12v/2A straight out of the USB-C charger, so that’s what its included charger does out-of-the-box. The problem with this is that no other USB-C device expects this, and most aren’t built to cope with 12v. I’m betting there are a lot of bricked devices because of someone thinking “hey, it’s USB-C on this Chuwi charger and so is my phone, let’s just top it off a little” → Insta smoke insues… If it doesn’t support PD-negotiation, it shouldn’t have a USB-C plug, Chuwi! ---

Nope, mine already dead less than 6 months after purchase though I rarely used it. You may want to try USB C charging or perhaps go to Aliexpress to have a look and asked those sellers. If you want to continue using the charging point instead of USB C, I think it is possible to find those adapter tip where you can plug into the hole in your device and at the other end to those USB power delivery charger. ---

Thanks. I was able to order that one, and it finally showed up. After it made its way from China to California (where I live), for some reason it got sent to Iowa! But eventually it worked its way back to me and seems to be working fine. ---

I’m not actually sure that last scenario would work. PD over USB-C uses a pairing/negotiation between the charger and the device to determine the right voltage and current to charge at. Connecting a PD-charger to the main power inlet would require the charger to instantly deliver 12v/2A without this negotiation, because the charging port isn’t PD-compatible. There are devices elsewhere on this forum that force any charger to instantly do this (for instance, the Hi10X “famously” uses a USB-C port for charging without supporting the PD-negotiation), but just an adapter tip would probably not be enough. ---
