Mark Sparrow from Forbes called Passport III "the Swiss Army knife of power adapter" and "the ideal travel companion", citing the new travel adapter’s versatility.

Like previous travel adapters from Zendure, the new Passport III has an auto-resetting fuse and press-and-slide controls for easy one-handed operation. But in this latest offering, the company has departed from the subdued charcoal and white exterior to add some fun and nostalgia to the design. With a metallic ombre faceplate and translucent enclosure, Passport III evokes design trends from the mid ’90s and early 2000s.

While the outside of the new travel adapter is a throwback, the inside is 100% modern. The primary USB-C port can deliver up to 65W, enough power to charge an iPhone to 50% in under 30 minutes or fully charge a 13 inch MacBook Pro in just two hours. Passport III uses GaN semiconductor technology to achieve high conversion power in a small form factor without overheating.

Passport III is, ostensibly, a travel adapter. After all, it works in over 200 countries and regions, with a variety of connectors and compatibility with a broad range of voltages. But Zendure has positioned their newest product as an "everything charger", with the potential to replace numerous proprietary charging bricks, whether you’re in the home office, at the coffee shop down the street, or halfway around the world.

Zendure’s Passport III travel adapter is now selling on Kickstarter, with shipping planned for April of this year.

Zendure is an outdoor consumer electronics company located in Silicon Valley in the United States and the GuangdongHong Kong – Macao Greater Bay Area in China. Zendure has continuously launched innovative products, made rapid breakthroughs in the core technologies of outdoor energy storage and power supplies, and continues to bring pleasant surprises to the user experience.
