Which power adaptor do I need?

Check the charging connection, supported charging standard and maximum power requirement of your device. Choose an adaptor with the correct port and enough power for the device you intend to charge.

Can I use a higher-wattage adaptor with my phone?

Yes, provided the adaptor and device use compatible charging standards. Your phone should only draw the amount of power it is designed to accept, so a higher maximum output does not normally force additional power into it.

What is USB-C Power Delivery?

USB-C Power Delivery, often shortened to USB-C PD, is a charging standard that allows compatible devices and adaptors to negotiate a suitable power level. It can support faster charging and higher-powered devices such as tablets and laptops.

What is a GaN power adaptor?

GaN stands for gallium nitride. GaN technology can allow an adaptor to provide higher power from a more compact design while operating efficiently.

Can one adaptor charge several devices at once?

A multi-port adaptor can charge several compatible devices simultaneously. Its total available power may be shared between the connected ports, so check the product specifications for the output available when multiple devices are connected.

Does the charging cable affect charging speed?

Yes. The device, power adaptor and cable must all support the required charging standard and power level. A cable with a lower power rating may prevent a compatible device from charging at its maximum supported speed.
