Sometimes it can be the cord and not the charger.
Thanks for your reply but most of the links seem to link to the Poweradd adaptor that isn't available in the UK.
Has anybody used an adaptor available in the UK with success other than the MacBook charger as I haven't got a MacBook.
I tried a RAVPOWER USB C charger I had sitting here I got off Amazon and worked fine.

It may be it can’t be a USB output and cable convert to USB-C I have used a USB C to USB C cable so charger has USB C out.
Thank you. I've ordered one more lead (one with an E chip) to try with the Tommox charger I've purchased. Prob wishful thinking but I'll give the new lead a try and then look at replacing the charger if that fails.
Hi, if it assists anybody after trying a few chargers without success I've managed to find one that works ok for a reasonable price.

It seems to work with several different USB C to C leads I've tried
Hope this saves someone some time.

can I ask which Tommox charger you tried and did the new USB cable solve the problem?
Hi, the first Tommox charger I purchased didn't work at all with any of the leads I tried..

The link above is a different Tommox charger which works fine with all the leads I've tried.
This may help others- After much fiddling about with a RavPower USB-C PD brick that outputs at levels “acceptable” to the Move but still wouldn’t charge it, I figured out that even though the move was the only device plugged into the charger and drawing power, the other port on the charger (with a lightening cable with no device connected) was causing the charger to output at 30W/30W rather than the 45W the Move needs. Removing the lightening cable and plugging everything back in solved the issue.
Bottom line, if you have a multi-port charger, try it with only one cable connected.
These Anker products will charge the Move. I purchased the charger first and could not get it to work initially. I finally realized my cables were not sufficient. The proper USB-C cable did the trick!

I finally figured out how to charge the damn thing
need 2 items --
- 45w PD power bank (I use Anker 26800 45W PD)
- USB c to USB c cable (I use Apple OEM)
while Sonos move is off … plug in USB c cable
turn on device
then plug other end of USB c cable into PD power bank
it should indicate it's charging if connected on WiFi on Sonos app
enjoy!
Recently purchased these and charging the Move successfully.
