Why high-wattage PD fast chargers won`t overcharge your smart phones?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Firstly, USB PD (Power Delivery)<\/span> fast charger typically feature intelligent systems: smart detection, smart fast charging, and smart distribution<\/span>. <\/span>Power Delivery (USB PD) protocol<\/span> can adjust the charging voltage and current based on the power required by the device. Whether for a single device or multiple devices, they can quickly allocate the most appropriate charging power for each device. Therefore, if you use a 100W charger to charge a 20W phone, the charger will adjust the charging power to match the phone’s specifications, providing a charging rate of 20W.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/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

Why high wattage charger become popular on the market?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Every device come with different power loads (power-consuming components) and are paired with corresponding battery capacities. As a result, devices have varying charging power requirements. For example, the 14-inch MacBook Pro is recommended to use a 96W\/70W charger, while the iPhone 15 series is recommended to use a 30W charger. Therefore, when purchasing a charger, it is important to choose one with the recommended wattage for all your device. If you want to charge multiple devices simultaneously, you can calculate the total power of the devices and choose a charger accordingly. For instance, a MacBook Pro 14-inch and iPhone 15 can use a 100W charger for simultaneous charging (such as C10\/C10<\/span> Duo).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/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
