Why do the readings on the charger screen differ from those on a power bank or third-party tool such as POWER-Z?
Why does charging stop at 80%?
Why does the power bank charge fewer times than expected?
The new premium 3-port compact charger is a lofty $150 with member coupon.
But more surprising is the USB-C power output spec:
One Port in Use Output
USB-C1 / C2 / C3: 5V⎓3A / 9V⎓3A / 15V⎓3A / 20V⎓5A / 28V⎓5A / 28V⎓5.36A(150W Max)
Does this imply it doesn't do PPS?
Many of the DJI drone battery chargers and some Pixel phones require PPS to reach their highest charge rates. Surprising it has none listed.
I just received the device recently, but to my surprise, it's actually substantially smaller than my Anker 140w charger with display:
Anker 140w vs 160wTo make it more perspective, I put Apple's 140w and 70 on the side(both also GaN equipped)
Now you understand my speechless when opened the box, it's size just disproportionately unimaginable in this world, almost 30% smaller in size compared to Apple's 70w charger. or nearly one third of a Apple's 140w charger:
albeit, I'm not even touch the topic that it has 3 USB-C ports while Apple only got 1
And it also came with display like the 140w do:
What's more? does it have bluetooth? Absolutely! 🤯
First firmware update from the AppSo the port use standard 140w for single port and 160w when use multiple:
I tested with my power meter, it does say 140w on any port:
And interestingly, it also says AVS, but I don't have device to verify for now:
I tried 3 ports charging for 160w max:
So you might wonder how long it can sustain this power output, I did a quick test, using 140w to recharge my battery:
The initial temp on hottest spot is about 40c
After 40 minutes, it still pull the same 140w, and temp rise to 63c
I had to use a cigarette cable to transfer power from my smaller battery to big one cause 140w is too fast to refill it:
