The Best Hoverboard Chargers | Autance

The Wyness Battery Charger is a mighty powerful little adapter for your dead hoverboard batteries. With a whopping 42V the charger is quite capable of powering up your hoverboard in no time. Through its advanced technology it has an eight-detection process to ensure quicker charging, a product failure rate control of 1/1,000, and functions well in extreme temperatures.

One of the best features of the battery charger is its built-in, four-stage protection. To better ensure you, the hoverboard and the charge are safe, it includes short circuit protection technology, battery polarity error protection, overcurrent protection, and overvoltage protection.

The Jucuwe Power Adapter is a lightweight and budget-friendly hoverboard charger. The universal adapter features 42V of power for fast and efficient charging of the two wheeled toys. It includes a charging indicator so you can monitor just how far along the charge is on the hoverboard.

It too includes multiple protection features that help ensure it doesn’t overheat, overcharge, or short circuit. It even functions with laptops as well so you can replace that cable you’ve lost. However, the charger is not suitable for batteries that run on 24V or lower. There have also been complaints of blown batteries, but there is no way to tell if they were under 24V or not. 

The EVAPLUS Power Adapter is one of the best for charging hoverboards and scooters. It is compatible with just about every brand, so you can be sure that it will work with your hoverboard. It features 42V, a two-amp output for quick charging, and has indicator lights so you can see how far along the charge is.

The best feature has to be the LED charging lights. Nothing is more annoying than having to judge when exactly the charge will be done. Red means it is charging, and green means it is finished. It’s that simple. The one really big downside of the charger is it does take quite a long time to charge. It could take up to six hours to reach a full charge.

The Owrieo Power Charger features a PowerFast three-prong inline connector. It’s a 42V charger capable of working on a number of hoverboards, making it universal and versatile. It also includes 2,000mAh and a maximum power of 84W, so you get plenty of power in its small black box.

Many have noticed it may provide a better charge than the original cable the hoverboard came with. The charger is also rather cheap as well and includes a little light to let you know it’s working. Although, there have been complaints that even though it connects to the hoverboard it may not charge it all that quickly. It may also get quite hot while charging.

We’re all afraid of overloading, and from that we’re all worried about fire risks. Tangsfire, despite having an unfortunate name for this specific issue, comes with a four-stage protection system in place to ensure the pack doesn’t overheat to dangerous levels. You’re charging a lithium-ion battery—there’s going to be a bit of heat involved, but it’s very mild in comparison to other chargers. At the best, it gets kind of warm.

The thing is, there’s no three-prong output. It’s very specific, which makes it viable for certain models (list available on their page), but it’s not universal. If it’s able to fit your hoverboard, this will be a great addition. The LED indicator light is must-have, and the cable length is 39”, allowing you to plug it in just about anywhere. We’d argue that it’s the perfect cable length because it makes it versatile enough for long use while still being compact enough to fit into your backpack or luggage for travel.

While this is listed as a power chair charger, it meets the same three-prong male outlet and voltage/amp requirements as hoverboard chargers. Basically, you can take advantage of this and make it work for your hoverboard while having it as a back-up for a power chair, if that’s an option for you. If not, don’t worry; this is about as universal as hoverboard chargers get. The three-prong male outlet allows you to attach this to an extensive list of different hoverboard brands and models.

The charging period is good… kind of. The first 80% of your charge is extremely quick, but then it heats up, overheat protection kicks in, and the last 20% of your battery charge carries on dreadfully slow. While the cable length is great and the size is compact for travel, it’s a charger with its fair share of issues.

Unlike some brand-specific chargers, BestHot made this to work with every hoverboard on the market. There isn’t a single hoverboard that won’t work with this charger, and that’s something to be excited about. The entire piece is extremely lightweight, making it super simple to bring from A to B. If you’re heading out on a trip, it’s compact and takes up very little space. That’s partially because that cable isn’t all too long, and while we wish it were, it works out.

The only main issue with this is that while the indicator light is appreciated, it begins to fade and becomes difficult to see if any lights are on in the same room. This process takes about six months or so before it’ll get to this level. With the low power consumption and voltage surge protection features, it’s a solid choice that sits at the perfect price point. The overload shut-off will ensure that nothing bad happens, and you’ll be able to confidently charge your hoverboard without issue.

As hoverboard chargers go, there’s a few things you always want to be on the lookout for. Wyness hits the mark on almost everything, but where it falls short, it falls hard. The charger heats up pretty quickly, and that’s something you have to be aware of right out of the gate. As with any charger, you should be careful about where you place it when it’s going to be left unattended. The charger works quickly, but after about ten or so uses, that speed diminishes slightly.

It’s no Razor hoverboard charger — it’s built to be cost-effective, and with that, you will see some corners cut during production. You get four separate safety features that work to cut off the power if it overheats, but even with that, you shouldn’t use it as your only failsafe against heat damage or fire. Compatible with OEM parts for custom boards or replacements, it’s a versatile charger that helps you get the job done without spending a ton of money upfront.

UL ratings can dictate the flexibility of your cords, and the test methods used to ensure that your wires comply with standards set in place to prevent electrical fire risks. It’s a big deal, and LotFancy has that necessary rating. There’s no issue with this heating up, at least not in the model that we tested, but the charge time is where the concern tends to come in. It can take anywhere from four to six hours to get a full charge on a standard lithium-ion battery, which is a bit longer than we’d like to see.

With that, there’s also a slightly less convenient connection method. It’s a three-prong, but it’s a female plug, so your connections are limited to specific models. Those models are listed on the sales page, and are still extensive enough to make this a viable pick. Using the multi-stage overload protection, this won’t melt or cause a fire, and it will also be rated to last you for quite some time. There’s a 30-day money-back on this, but also a one-year warranty if the charger malfunctions at all. A classic win-win.

Suposun actually made one of the best chargers on our list that don’t heat up from a ton of use, but the problem is that it’s not exactly the most sturdily constructed. You’re going to get a quick charge off of this, and be able to use it for a myriad of vehicles including ATVs, dirt bikes and others. The charger can even be used for some electric skateboards. The thing is, the plug is a three-prong, just like you want, but it’s a female output which can sometimes limit its versatility depending on the brand of hoverboard you own.

It’s a basic charger that gets the job done right, and doesn’t cost a lot upfront. It’s actually one of the cheapest on the list, and still comes with an LED indicator light, as well as overload protection. The main thing with this is that the wire—specifically the one that goes from the three-prong cord to the power box—has a very flimsy connection. It works, but the wire would be best treated as fragile. It’s good for home use, just don’t bring it out on travel.

Last but not least on our list, you have TekkPerry’s take on the hoverboard charger. One thing we like about this right away is that the LED light is a multistage bar, so you can see how charged it is in case you just want to mess around with your hoverboard on a half-charge before the sun goes down. Tested and UL-certified, TekkPerry’s charger runs on a 1.5a output, which isn’t very much. Charging times are going to be a little longer than you’re used to.

On top of that, the cable is short. In this price range, you’d expect something different, but clearly, Perry Lee wanted to put all of its budget into the power box. The LED is nice, but what’s also nice is the comprehensive overload and overheat protection. Where other chargers usually leave a hot spot on the floor when they were when you charged your hoverboard, this gets a bit war mat best. If you don’t like it, TekkPerry offers a full money-back guarantee, you’ve just got to contact their great customer service, and the rest is history.
