A GaN travel kit is not a bigger brick. It is a small stack that covers the laptop, the phone, and the tablet from one outlet, then still works when that outlet is UK, EU, AU, or US.
The method below is a shopping list that stays mutually compatible: a 65W multi-port GaN wall charger for the hotel desk, a second ultralight single-port GaN for the day bag, e-Marker 100W USB-C cables (the brick does not ship with any), a worldwide plug adapter that is not a voltage converter, and a padded pouch so the kit survives the backpack. If you want the full range of USB-C chargers beyond a travel-focused kit, see our USB-C charger guide.
What You Need
This is one compatible kit, not a mix-and-match catalog. Every item is a real Amazon US listing. The Anker 735 is the primary brick. The Anker 715 is the optional ultralight second brick. Cables, the plug adapter, and the pouch close the gaps travelers forget until the hotel nightstand.
Anker 735 Charger (Nano II 65W)
The hotel desk brick. Two USB-C ports and one USB-A share 65W total, with foldable US prongs and a footprint roughly the size of an AirPods Pro case. A single USB-C port can push the full 65W into a 13 inch class notebook. Three devices at once split to about 40W + 12W + 12W, which is enough for a laptop plus phone and earbuds, not two laptops at full tilt.
Anker 715 Charger (Nano II 65W)
The day-bag cube. One USB-C port at 65W, foldable prongs, and a body about 58% smaller than a classic 61W silicon brick. Use this when the partner keeps the 735 in the room, or when the trip is phone and ultrabook only. Cable still sold separately.
Anker 100W USB-C cables (2-Pack, 3.3 ft)
Neither brick includes a cable. This 2-pack is e-Marker rated to 100W, short enough for a nightstand, and long enough for an airplane seat. USB 2.0 data only, no video. That is fine for charging.
EPICKA Universal Travel Adapter (TA-105)
Foreign wall shapes, not foreign voltage. Slide out US, UK, EU, or AU/CN pins and plug the GaN brick into the adapter AC socket. Built-in USB ports on this adapter are low-power 5V only, so treat them as phone trickle ports. Laptop-class wattage still comes from the GaN brick. Not a voltage converter. Skip India (Type D) and South Africa (Type M).
BAGSMART Electronics Organizer
The pouch that keeps the two bricks, two cables, and the adapter from becoming a knot in the backpack. Mesh pockets and elastic loops fit chargers and short cables. Water-resistant shell, padded, about 9.5 x 6.3 inches when closed.
| Item | Role in this kit | Approx. street price |
|---|---|---|
| Anker 735 65W | Multi-port hotel brick | about $25 |
| Anker 715 65W | Ultralight day-bag brick | about $30 |
| Anker 100W cables | Charging leads | about $13 |
| EPICKA TA-105 | Worldwide plug shapes | about $20 |
| BAGSMART organizer | Pouch | about $12 |
What It Costs
About $100 as of writing for the full five-item kit. Drop the second brick and you land near $70. Drop the pouch and you save about $12, then spend it again untangling cables in a security bin.
Step-by-Step Setup
1. Confirm every charger is 100-240V
Open the fine print on the Anker 735 and Anker 715. Both list 100-240V input, which is what lets them ride foreign mains through a passive plug adapter. Hair tools that say 120V only still need a real converter, and they do not belong in this kit.
2. Pack the cables with the bricks
Seat both 3.3 ft 100W cables in the pouch loops before the bricks. The bricks do not include leads. A 65W GaN brick with no e-Marker cable is just a paperweight at the gate.
3. Use the EPICKA for wall shape only
At the destination, slide the matching pins on the EPICKA adapter, lock them, and plug the GaN brick into the adapter AC socket. Charge phones from the adapter USB ports only when you do not care about PD speed. Keep laptop charging on the GaN USB-C port.
4. Split roles between the two bricks
Leave the 735 on the desk for laptop + phone + earbuds overnight. Drop the 715 in the day bag when you only need one USB-C port. If you only buy one brick, buy the 735.
5. Zip the pouch before every move
Close the BAGSMART case and treat it as a checklist: two bricks, two cables, adapter, done. That is the habit that stops a $25 brick from living forever in a hotel drawer.
