Preferred USB C charger?

Hi I would appreciate it if anybody can offer advice on USB C PD chargers that work to charge the Move. I have purchased a 60w PD charger which on paper the specs should tally with those specified by Sonos but it doesn't work.

Having read similar articles online I'm not the only one having issues with this.

Can I say I am a little disappointed with Sonos having spent a lot of money on the Move I wouldn't expect to have to start forking out for expensive chargers in order to charge it on the move.

I appreciate the speaker will have a higher capacity battery than a mobile phone, but surely you would at least be able to trickle charge with a standard USB C cable / charger.

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!
