Charging & Power FAQs
GaN Charger FAQs
Does GaN charge faster than traditional chargers?
Yes,but only if your device supports fast charging protocols (PD, QC, PPS). GaN makes fast charging more efficient and consistent.
Is GaN safe for my devices?
Absolutely, as long as the charger is certified and from a trusted brand. GaN chargers intelligently deliver the correct voltage and current.
Why do GaN chargers cost more?
You’re paying for newer, more advanced technology that offers better performance, safety, and longevity.
Can I use a 100W GaN charger to charge my phone?
Yes! GaN chargers automatically regulate power output, so they only deliver the wattage your device needs.
Will GaN chargers work with Apple, Samsung, and other brands?
Yes. GaN chargers typically support USB-C Power Delivery, which is standard across Apple, Samsung, Google Pixel, and more.
Is GaN just for travellers?
No. While their compact size makes them ideal for travel, GaN chargers are equally useful at home or in the office, especially if you want to charge multiple devices from one plug.
Are all GaN chargers the same?
Not quite. Some manufacturers may use “GaN” as a buzzword. Stick to reputable brands with transparent specifications and proper safety certifications.
What’s the difference between PD 3.0 and PD 3.1?
PD 3.1 supports higher voltages (up to 240W), ideal for newer laptops and future-proofing. PD 3.0 covers most smartphones and tablets.
USB Power Delivery FAQs
Does USB-PD work with iPhones?
Yes. All iPhones since iPhone 8 support fast charging via USB-PD.
Can one PD charger work across multiple devices?
Yes. As long as wattage matches, one PD charger can power phones, tablets, and laptops.
Is USB-PD safe for batteries?
Yes. PD automatically adjusts power to prevent overheating or overcharging.
Do I need PD 3.1 for my laptop?
Not always. Many laptops run on 65–100W PD 3.0 chargers. PD 3.1 is future-proof for next-gen devices.
Programmable Power Supply (PPS) FAQs
Do I need PPS for fast charging?
Not always. If your phone supports PPS, you’ll benefit from faster, safer charging. If not, a PD-only charger will still work.
What’s the difference between PD and PPS?
PD sets the “rules” for power delivery, while PPS fine-tunes voltage and current in real time for more efficiency.
Is PPS only for Samsung phones?
No. While Samsung popularised it, other brands like Google also use PPS. Expect more devices to adopt it in the future.
Will a PPS charger work with non-PPS devices?
Yes. PPS chargers fall back to standard PD or Quick Charge if your device doesn’t support PPS.
Is PPS safe for my battery?
Yes. It’s actually safer than older fast-charging standards because it minimises heat and stress on the battery.
