Compatibility checks
Will this cable, charger or accessory work with what you already own? The short answer comes first, then the specification behind it. If a manufacturer hasn't published the detail, we say so.
Buying guides for US shoppers
Compatibility checks, side-by-side comparisons and buying calculators for US shoppers. Every figure we rely on links to the manufacturer, standards body or government agency that published it.
Will this cable, charger or accessory work with what you already own? The short answer comes first, then the specification behind it. If a manufacturer hasn't published the detail, we say so.
What will it cost to run, and do you need the bigger one? Each calculator shows its formula, names its data source and lets you change every assumption.
Sale dates you can plan around: federal holiday weekends, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and retailers' own events once the retailer has announced them. No dates guessed from last year.
The short version. The full rules are on the methodology page.
Specifications come from manufacturers and from standards bodies such as the USB Implementers Forum. Electricity prices and holiday dates come from government sources such as the US Energy Information Administration and the Office of Personnel Management. Seller listings and other review sites are never the source of an answer.
Calculators print the formula and every assumption, each with a default you can change. The arithmetic runs in your browser; nothing you type is sent to us.
Each page says when it was last checked against its sources and which month its data describes. When a source changes, we update the page and record what changed at the bottom.
Some pages will link to shops through affiliate programs. No shop can pay to be included, see a page before it's published or change what it says. Read the affiliate disclosure.
