Charging your power-hungry devices is about to get faster and more convenient. Anker, our manufacturer best portable charger selected, announced a new, third generation of Galium Nitride (GaN) chargers promises a smarter and more efficient charging experience in an even smaller form factor. Until recently, silicon was the preferred charging technology used in most laptops and mobile devices.
GaN technology converts energy into electricity more efficiently, generating less heat so internal components can be placed closer together. This means that even giant laptop power bricks can now be replaced with more compact chargers. Anker has become popular USB-C chargermany of which include an earlier generation of GaN.
With its latest products, Anker adds PowerIQ 4.0 technology, which not only tells the charger exactly how much power is needed for each connected device, but also continuously adjusts distribution to ensure each port USB gets what it needs. Previously, if you plugged two devices into a multi-port charger, such as a laptop that claimed 65W and a phone that used 15W, and you disconnected the phone, your laptop wouldn’t be damaged. charge extra.
With GaNPrime, the charger will recognize that the phone has been disconnected and deftly redistribute and reallocate available resources. It also determines which device has the lowest battery level and prioritizes that device. That way, if you need to quickly charge your laptop before heading out and it’s only at 20%, it will be powered on before the phone has reached 80%.
In addition to reducing the size of the charger (for example, the Anker 737 GaNPrime 65W charger is 53% smaller than Apple’s 61W charger), Anker says the GaNPrime saves energy use because overall charging more efficiently takes less. more time. And because the new charger is compatible with over a thousand mobile devices, you can easily carry just one. Hallelujah!
To take advantage of this new technology, you need one of the new GaNPrime multi-device chargers, with outputs ranging from 65W to 150W, and a USB-C cable. Here’s what to expect.
With 150W of power, this charger has the highest output power in the GaNPrime series. It has three USB-C ports and one USB-A port to deliver that power, making it capable of fully charging a 16-inch MacBook Pro in 1.7 hours.
This 120W charger distributes the output power between two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, so you can charge your laptop, smartphone and smartwatch simultaneously. It can charge one iPhone 13″ Up to 3x faster than the original 5W charger.
This is the smallest GaNPrime charger with two USB-C ports and one USB-A port for 65W of power.
This power bank does double duty. Use it as a wall charger and you’ll get 65W of power, enough to charge a MacBook Pro in 50 minutes. Take it with you on the go, and the 30W power can charge your iPhone up to 50% in 30 minutes. It has two USB-C and one USB-A ports but is still light enough to slip into your pocket for portable power use.
Serious multi-taskers need a powerful multi-port charging station. This GaNPrime charging station features two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, and two AC ports with a maximum output power of 100W – all in a slim, lightweight design you can take with you on the go. If you want to leave it on your desk, the Anker 615 Power Strip has the same 65W output, two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, and two AC ports in a larger form factor.
