When it comes to charging USB-C compatible laptops it can be confusing to know which type of charger you should be using. That’s because certain laptops that use USB-C require a certain amount of power to actually charge. Also, you’re likely going to have to use a USB-C Power Delivery charger with a USB-C laptop to charge it quickly.

Power Delivery (PD) is basically a fast charging technology that is being used with the new standard that is USB-C. Power Delivery is being used with not only laptops but also with tablets and smartphones too. This results in some people being able to use the same charger for charging their smartphones and their laptop if it’s a USB-C Power Delivery compatible laptop.

In this case, we’re going to be focusing on the best chargers for the Dell XPS 12 9250 laptop. The laptop has sold very well on the market for its performance and also for its reach into the future with its tech. Especially when it comes to USB-C charging. Just something to know before we see what type chargers are best to use for this laptop is that it requires a 30W Power Delivery charging speed, so you can’t charge it with a lower charging speed. Anything 30W or more is able to charge it and that’s why a few of the chargers in this guide will be able to deliver over 30W of PD charging.

So let’s get started.

Best Power Delivery Portable Chargers for Dell XPS 12 9250

There are quite a few Power Delivery portable chargers on the market now, as there are now many types of devices that are able to use the tech. That’s really one of the major benefits of using USB-C Power Delivery charging with laptops, as you don’t have to only rely on a large power adapter to use with an AC outlet to charge your laptop. There are now more options to use and in this case, it would be power banks.

Anker PowerCore+ 26800 30W Power Delivery Portable Charger

The first Power Delivery portable charger that we’re recommending comes from one of the best brands on the market, Anker. Anker is known for creating some top quality charging electronics from their portable chargers to wall chargers. This is one of their highest power capacity power banks and basically their top portable charger.

It has a 26,800mAh power capacity so there’s a lot of power capacity to use to charge your Dell XPS 12 9250 to its full power about two times, as the laptop has about a 10,000mAh battery. You can also use the power capacity for charging other devices, with this Anker power bank featuring three charging ports in total.

There are three output ports in all, two of which are USB-A ports, and the one that we’re most focused on is the USB-C Power Delivery port. The two USB-A ports have a 5V/3.0A charging speed that can charge standard devices quite quickly. The USB-C Power Delivery port has a 30W charging speed, so this Anker PowerCore+ charger is indeed able to charge your Dell laptop at its max charging speed.

To recharge this power bank you can use the USB-C Power Delivery port and this is another great reason that Power Delivery portable chargers are the future. That’s because you’re able to recharge this power bank at Power Delivery speeds when you use a 30W Power Delivery wall charger or higher, thankfully, this power bank actually comes with a Power Delivery wall charger.

iMuto 45W Power Delivery Portable Charger with Quick Charge

This iMuto power bank is a bit more bare bones in terms of the charging ports that it offers and also because of its lower power capacity in comparison to the previous Anker charger that we mentioned. That’s because this iMuto power bank has a 20,100mAh power capacity, and two output charging ports.

That said, the power capacity is still quite a lot and the charging power from the USB-C Power Delivery port does make up for the lower capacity. That’s because the USB-C Power Delivery charging speed on this power bank is 45W, so you’re able to charge your Dell XPS laptops at its max charging speed. Also, if you plan to upgrade to the Dell XPS 13 which requires that you use a 45W Power Delivery charger or else it won’t charge, then this power bank will be perfect for that laptop too.

The other output port on this power bank is the USB-A port that features Quick Charge so you can charge your Quick Charge compatible smartphone at its max charging speed.

To recharge iMuto Power Delivery portable charger, you can use one of two options. There’s the USB-C port that can recharge this power bank at Power Delivery speeds when you use a Power Delivery wall charger or you can use the Micro-USB input that has a recharge speed of 5V/2.1A. This power bank does not come with a Power Delivery wall charger, so if you only have a regular wall charger then you won’t be able to recharge it at Power Delivery speeds.

Jackery SuperCharge 26,800 Power Delivery Portable Charger

This Jackery SuperCharge Power Delivery portable charger is very similar to the Anker PowerCore charger. That’s because this power bank also has a 26,800mAh power capacity that can be used to charge your laptop to its full power multiple times, and for charging other devices too. The charging from this power bank is done through two ports.

The charging ports are where this SuperCharge power bank is in some ways better than the Jackery power bank and that’s because this charger has a 45W USB-C Power Delivery port. While the other port is a USB-A port that features Quick Charge 3.0, so you can also fast charge those compatible devices.

To recharge this power bank you have to use the USB-C Power Delivery port and that’s perfectly fine when it comes to this power bank and that’s because this charger actually comes with 45W Power Delivery wall charger that can recharge this Jackery SuperCharge at its max charging speed.

RAVPower 26,800mAh 30W Power Delivery Portable Charger

The final Power Delivery portable charger that we’re recommending for the Dell XPS 12 is this RAVPower power bank. The charger has a 26,800mAh power capacity that is basically on the same level as the other two Power Delivery chargers that we mentioned. So there’s plenty of power capacity to be used to charge your laptop, and other devices such as tablets or smartphones to full power as well.

The output charging for this RAVPower portable charger can be done from three ports. There are two USB-A ports that each have a 5V/2.4A charging speed. The max output of the USB-A port section of this charger is 3.4A.

The USB-C Power Delivery port has a 30W charging speed, so it is able to charge your Dell XPS 12 laptop.

To recharge this power bank you can either use the USB-C port or the Micro-USB input. It’s better to use the USB-C port to recharge this power bank and that’s because you’re able to recharge the power bank at Power Delivery speeds. At the same time, this charger does not come with a Power Delivery wall charger, so you’ll have to purchase one separately; the power bank does come with a USB-C to USB-C charging cable though.

Or you can use the Micro-USB input with its recharge speed of 5V/2.0A, which is ultimately a lot slower than the USB-C port recharging.
