Any good ones that would essentially replace a USB load tester? I'm thinking applications where I want to monitor power draw from a battery pack to say: a phone, or power being produced from a small solar panel (small, off the grid stuff)


I've been using the cheapest aliexpress cable ($1.79 for "100W" model) for a few month, and it seems to work fine for 40W charging of my laptop. The display is extremely useful, as the charge light is hard to see when the laptop is in the bag.

The quotes made me laugh. So true. I can just imagine talking with a friend and they use air-quotes to describe the technical specs of any random item from AliExpress. Well said!
