Things You Must Know Before Choosing a Charger

2024-11-14
Today, medium and high power chargers are very popular. They come in all shapes and sizes, and the prices of different chargers vary greatly. Choosing the right charger and adapter for your specific purpose can be difficult. It may not be so easy to understand what the various specifications mean and whether they will affect the way you use the charger. Chargers come in all shapes and sizes, with a variety of size, power, and technical material innovation options. These components mean that there are some points to consider when buying a charger for your specific purpose.



Guide For Purchasing The Best Fast charger
When buying a charger, you will find a lot of things to consider. Here are our top picks for these points.
- Matching charging power:
One of the main things to consider when buying or choosing a charger is the required power. Think about how much it should be charged, because tablets consume more power than smartphones, etc. In addition, some smartphones consume more power than others. To find out, check your smartphone specifications. The charging power will be given in the battery section. For a full charge, the power of the charger should be the same or slightly more than the power of the device to be charged - preferably a little more to ensure that the device is fully charged in a short time.

For example, regarding the charging power of iPhone 16: when testing the original or third-party charging of iPhone, except for Apple's 87W charger, the other original chargers above 29W can shake hands with 15V PDO, and the charging power is maintained at around 30W. Secondly, most third-party chargers above 30W can provide 28-31W charging power for iPhone 16 Pro Max, while 20-25W chargers can provide 18-24W charging power, which is compatible with most chargers on the market. If you need to get a good fast charging experience, it is recommended to buy a charger of 35W or above.

- Number of ports:
Early chargers had only one output port; however, as people use chargers more and more frequently and need to charge multiple devices at the same time, many large power banks come with two or even more ports. Look at the output current capabilities of each port - are they sufficient? Also, keep in mind that if you are charging multiple devices at the same time, the charger may not provide the maximum current for each port; there may be an overall maximum current output that is distributed to the output ports to ensure safety and protect the devices.

- Size and weight:
Size and weight are critical when buying chargers, especially if you are using them while traveling. The more powerful the charger, the larger and heavier it will be.

Gallium Nitride Technology:
Gan chargers—Gallium Nitride chargers are not only highly efficient and heat-dissipating, but also make chargers smaller and more powerful. GaN chargers have become the mainstream for charging portable electronic devices. GaN charger is one of the your best options.

- Charging connector:
While the charger has both Type C and USB Type-A outputs, the charging power is different, and the charging connector supports different powers.

How to charge devices with different power requirements
It is worth mentioning that different devices have their own charging protocol requirements. The smaller the device, the lower the charging power supported by the protocol (Bluetooth headphones and smart watches, etc.). Assuming you have a 10w charger with 1 amp and the device has a battery capacity of 5000 mAh, then charging may take 5 hours - well, it will take longer. Using a charger with the corresponding power can greatly shorten the charging time.
Can a high-power charger charge a low-power device? Yes, a 100W smart charger will only allocate 20W power to a 20W mobile phone. For example, using an 35W charger to charge an iPhone 16 Pro Max:



It takes 26 minutes to charge 50%; 57 minutes to charge 80%; and about 2 hours and 20 minutes to fully charge.
