What is Fast charging?<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Fast charging literally is to charge the devices faster, which speeds up charging and shortens the charging time within a proper load range. With the evolution of devices, it requires more and more power to charge quickly. Therefore, the old chargers (such as 5W or 12W charger) can no longer support fast charging function. Currently, the popular fast charging technologies are: Qualcomm&#8217;s Quick Charge (QC) and USB-IF&#8217;s USB PD.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b0c9822 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b0c9822\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f14efa8\" data-id=\"f14efa8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a9d947d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a9d947d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>2.

It can support a variety of devices and also support to charge iPhone\/ iPad devices.<br \/>Except for the iPhone (Lightening port), all devices that support PD fast charging must be charged through a USB-C port, so if your new device still use a traditional USB-A charging port or charger, it is high chance that it may not support fast
