Multi-port fast chargers with a mix of USB-A and Type-C outputs, supplied with the cables that match them. Sourced to your wattage, port layout, plug format and packaging, from 50 pieces. This is a category where the number printed on the box and the number a port actually delivers are two different things, so a good part of this page is about telling them apart.
Description
This category grew for a fairly boring reason. Phone makers stopped putting chargers in the box. Apple went first in 2020, Samsung followed, and the Chinese brands that dominate shelves here went the same way soon after. A thing every buyer used to get for free became a thing every buyer had to go and pay for. Walk through Computer Village on any afternoon and count the tables selling nothing else. Then add the fact that a single household now runs a phone each, a tablet, earbuds, a power bank and usually a laptop off two working sockets, and you have a product that simply doesn't stop moving.
The charger in the photograph is a multi-port adapter with USB-A and Type-C outputs, sold as a set with the cables that match. What you order is yours to pick. 20W, 33W, 45W, 65W or 100W. Two ports up to four. UK three-pin, EU two-pin, or a folding travel pin. GaN or ordinary silicon. Cables in USB-A to Type-C, Type-C to Type-C, Type-C to Lightning or micro-USB, in 1m, 1.5m, 2m and 3m, with PVC, braided nylon or silicone jackets.
Charging speed rests on protocol support, and that's where the cheap units quietly fail. A charger carrying Power Delivery and Quick Charge 3.0 negotiates with the phone and hands over the highest current both sides agree is safe. A charger without those protocols gives you 5V and stops there, whatever figure is printed on the housing. If your customers are buying for recent Android phones or iPhones, PD is the protocol that matters, and it has to sit on a Type-C port to do anything at all.
Half the charging system is the cable, and buyers forget that constantly. Pair a 65W charger with a thin 2A cable and you've sold a 2A charger. Above 60W the cable needs an e-marker chip inside the connector, or the charger refuses to go past its safe default and your customer decides the charger is fake. When we quote a bundle we write the cable rating next to the charger rating, so the pair actually performs at the number on the carton.
Which brings up the dullest mistake in this trade, and one we've watched cost real money. Plug format. Nigeria is UK three-pin, BS 1363. A factory's default export moulding is very often EU two-pin, because that's what most of their volume ships as. We had a consignment where the approved sample came three-pin and part of the production run arrived on two-pin, and the buyer spent weeks selling travel adapters alongside chargers to move them. Plug format now goes into the purchase order in bold and gets photographed at pre-shipment inspection.
Packaging and branding sit at the end of the conversation. Plain neutral units are always available. Or put your own name, logo and colours on the housing, the cable, the box and the insert card. Retail packaging can be a hanging blister card for counter display, a printed colour box, or bulk polybags if you're supplying other shops rather than selling at retail yourself.
How the headline wattage gets away with it
The headline adds up every port at once. A 65W four-port unit might deliver 45W on one Type-C socket and split 18W across the rest. That's a perfectly reasonable product and a badly described one, and the description is what your customer reads. Ask for the per-port output table before you commit to anything.
Above 60W the cable decides the speed. The cable itself has to carry an e-marker chip, or the charger falls back to a slower speed and the complaint arrives at your counter rather than at the factory.
Two things we won't do. We won't quote a wattage we can't show you on a test report, and we don't source chargers wearing somebody else's trademark, however good the price looks.

We do not publish prices, because the landed figure depends on the specification, the Customs valuation and the exchange rate on the day you pay.
Minimum order
Fifty pieces is the floor, and that's fifty across the shipment. Split them any way you like. Twenty of a 20W two-port with a 1m Type-C cable, twenty of a 45W GaN with a 2m braided cable, ten of a 100W four-port for the laptop buyers. Custom-printed housings and printed colour boxes generally start at 100 pieces per design, because the factory has a minimum print plate run and won't set up for less than that. Plain or neutral packaging carries no such floor and stays at fifty.
Lead time. Stock items in plain packaging usually reach Lagos in about 12 to 18 days on sea consolidation, or 6 to 9 days by air. Chargers are small, light and dense in value, which makes them one of the few things we ship where air freight genuinely pencils out. Custom-branded housings and printed boxes add roughly 7 to 12 days on top, and most of that is artwork, plate setup and sample approval rather than the production run itself.
What decides the right one
Somebody wrote to us last year wanting a charger with the cable moulded in, four ports, and a pass-through socket on the back so it could live behind a hotel bed. Nothing remotely like it on this page. We found it anyway, because that's the job.
The picture at the top of this page exists to give you a starting point for a conversation. Venocipal buys to order and holds no stock, so there's no shelf here for you to choose from. A trader asked for multi-port fast chargers with matching cables, we went looking for factories that build them properly, and the outcome got published so the next person has something concrete to react to.
React however you like. A different port count, a different wattage, a folding-pin travel version, a car charger, a power bank with the charger built into it, or something from an entirely different aisle. Photograph it, screenshot it, paste a link, or describe it in one sentence. We work out who makes it, confirm what the specification genuinely is rather than what the listing claims, price it landed in Nigeria, and ship it.
Fifty is where the arithmetic starts making sense. A factory will take a mixed order of that size seriously, and we can fold it into a shared container without the freight per unit turning ridiculous. The number climbs toward 100 only when you want your own printed housing or your own retail box, since a print plate has a minimum run that nobody will break. Specification, colours, cable pairing, packaging style: all of that stays yours to decide.
Common questions
Can I mix wattages and cable types inside the fifty?
Yes, and most first orders do exactly that. Fifty is the size of the shipment, however you choose to split it up. Buy the mix your customers actually ask for.
Will these work on Nigerian mains?
Yes. Input is specified 100-240V, 50/60Hz as standard, and we order UK three-pin (BS 1363) unless you tell us otherwise. Tell us early if you want otherwise, because the plug moulding is fixed at production.
How do I know the wattage on the box is real?
Ask us for the per-port output table and the test report before you confirm the order. Where we can't evidence a figure, it doesn't go into the quotation.
Is GaN worth paying extra for?
At 65W and above, usually yes. It runs cooler and the housing is physically smaller, which matters on a crowded socket board and matters again when it has to hang on a blister card. At 20W it's mostly marketing and you can happily skip it.
Can you print my brand on the charger and the cable?
Housing, cable jacket, box and insert card, all of it. Custom printing usually pushes the minimum to 100 pieces per design, because a print plate has a minimum run and no factory will break it for a smaller order.
Do you supply cables on their own?
Cables alone, chargers alone, or bundled sets. The minimum works the same way whichever you go for.
What about car chargers, power banks or wireless pads?
All fine, same minimum, same process. Show us the item and we'll go and find who builds it properly.

Folding Solar Camping Lanterns
Four hinged panels open out into something bright enough to light a whole room, then fold back into a block that fits in a market bag. Wall charge, USB charge, and a small panel on the body for topping up in the sun. Demand for these holds steady right through the year in Nigeria, and you can probably guess why.

Digital Display Fast-Charging Power Banks
A phone in Nigeria does the work of a bank, a shop counter and an office, and the grid has no opinion on that. So power banks sell here on daily need rather than on novelty. What separates a batch that clears from a batch that sits is narrower than most buyers expect: real capacity, a display customers believe, and a fast-charge claim that survives someone plugging a phone in at your counter.

Rechargeable Solar and USB Standing Fans
Heat doesn't check whether NEPA is up. The hours a fan matters most, late afternoon and right through the night, are the hours the grid is least dependable, which is why households buy these without needing much persuading. This particular build does two things that lift it clear of the cheap end of the market: the column adjusts, and it takes a top-up from a small solar panel as well as from a cable.
