    Idk. I've never had one. I would assume so with the right cable.

    The lightest weight ones I've found are the ones that come with our phones. But, if you want a multi-port charger, that's a different story.
    I'm not lost. I'm exploring.

    On a trip to North Carolina I misplaced my Apple charger. I found a double outlet charger at the register line in Walmart. Less than $10. Handles the iPhone and a 10k external battery OR two 10k batteries. Or two digital cameras.

    Dual port, but it doesn't have quick charge. But it does weigh less than an ounce.

    2.14 oz. One port charges faster. 18W

    They have a 24W one as well, with two fast charging ports, but it looks a bit bigger/heavier.

    You have to check some of the multiport chargers because they are not always upfront about the drop in output when another device plugs in. Aukey is bad about that in my experience. Sometimes you can only tell by the listed wattage of the charger. Overnight not a problem but a quick pit stop you might be charging your phone and the battery you use to charge your phone and if the amps drop because of the two devices it'll be a long lunch break.

    This is why I bought the single port qualcolm 3.0 fonken

    Having two ports isn't necessary. Then you just carry more cables.

    Up to my experience two ports, both of them high-power, are essential.
    At least the phone and the powerbank wants to get charged simultanously, and usually there are more items in the pack that demand charging (and if not in my pack, there are some in my wife's pack).

    iPhone doesn’t use Qualcom qc, I tried this one a while ago. Didn’t charge any faster than current setup. I just got the aukey dual port. It charged my ravpower 6700 in 3 hrs solo, will try phone later but should be sufficient at 1.1 oz.
