Recommended model: RP-PC017
 
It is estimated that many people will be quite unfamiliar with the brand RAVPower, which is a sub-brand operated by Zebao Group (Sunvalley), known as one of the five tigers of cross-border e-commerce in the charger industry, mainly engaged in power supply products, including USB chargers, wireless chargers and mobile power supplies, with a good reputation in overseas markets RavPower wireless charging pad was our favorite”。
 
Similar to other cross-border e-commerce, Zebao's market focus is overseas, and online sales are mainly through Amazon, and its sales revenue mainly comes from the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom and Japan, so it is less known in the domestic market. Zebao's products are not as unique as Anker's, and many of them use male models, so you can always find products with similar shapes in the market.
 
The common problem faced by cross-border e-commerce is that it is too dependent on e-commerce platforms, and the marketing management costs are huge.
 
Zebao was acquired by Guangdong Xinghui Precision, a listed company, for 1.53 billion yuan at the end of 2018. Guangdong Xinghui Precision is in a leading position in China in terms of R&D innovation, production technology, product design, etc., and its main business does not have much intersection with Zebao, but the online channel is extremely weak, which happens to be the strength of cross-border e-commerce.
 
Cross-border e-commerce that has done a good job has its own unique skills, Anker takes the brand route, Aukey marketing is good, Zebao is the main customer service, after-sales service is very good, which has a huge effect on maintaining brand reputation, on Amazon, similar products to Zebao are easy to fall below 4 points, Zebao can maintain the same model above four stars, the same is true in China, RAVPower charger after-sales support for 18 months only replacement without repair, there is almost no such after-sales service in the industry.
 
The disadvantages of RAVPower are also obvious: the business focus is overseas, and the number of domestic products is too small, with only 1 USB charger and 1 wireless charger. Judging from the characteristics of the product itself, the RavPower charger seems to define itself as a replacement for Apple's original charger, which is also not compatible with QC standards, but the whole line is a multi-port charger, and the price is much lower than Apple's original, basically under $20.
 
RP-PC017 is the only PD 2.0 charger sold by RAVPower in China, with a nominal maximum output power of 36W, with two output interfaces, USB-A interface supports a maximum of 5V/2.4A (APPLE protocol) output, USB-C port supports 5V/3A, 9V/2A, 15V/2A, 20V/1.5A (PD protocol) four specifications, this interface design is still very practical.
 
The RP-PC017 shell is made of flame-retardant PC material, which is relatively small, and the folding American standard plug design is compatible with the national standard, which is very convenient for storage and carrying. However, the nominal value of this charger is relatively conservative, and the actual maximum output in the test can reach 45W, of which the maximum power of the USB-C port can reach more than 37W, whether it is iPhone 8/8 Plus/X that supports PD fast charging or iPhone 7, iPad, etc., which does not support fast charging, it can even be used as a cameo to charge a laptop.
 
In terms of price, RP-PC017 is only 89 yuan, compared with the price of the original Apple charger of the same level350 yuan, the cost performance is undoubtedly very good.
 
RAVPower has also encountered the situation of trademark squatting overseas, involving categories including bottles, electric toothbrush replacement heads, electric toothbrushes, tea sets, toothbrushes, air purification devices, electric fans, flashlights, water filters, water purification devices, etc., and the pirated registors are also Guangdong Pineng.
