Load balancing

 The USB charger dynamically distributes power to connected devices, with a maximum total output of 65 W peak.

 First device connected

• The first connected device (Load 1) is given full priority.

• It can draw up to 65 W peak when no other device is connected.

Second device connected

• As soon as a second device (Load 2) is connected, the charger applies an initial power distribution:

  • Load 1 is limited to 50 W.

  • Load 2 receives 15 W to enable start-up.

• After 30 seconds, the charger automatically renegotiates the power distribution:

  • Load 1 determines its required power.

  • Load 2 receives the remaining available power, with a minimum of 15 W.

  • Power values are rounded to the nearest 5 W increment.

• Example:

  • If Load 1 requests 37 W:

    • Load 1 is assigned 40 W.

    • Load 2 receives up to 25 W.

• The charger reassesses and updates the power distribution every 30 seconds.

  • Load 1 remains the priority device in each cycle.

 Temperature protection

• If the internal temperature rises, the charger reduces the total available power from 65 W to 45 W. The load balancing behaviour remains unchanged. Load 2 continues to receive a minimum of 15 W.

• If the internal temperature rises even more (above 90°), the charger stops charging. It will resume charging when a normal internal temperature has been reached.

User recommendations

• Connect high-power devices (such as laptops) first to ensure they receive priority and sufficient power.

• Connect lower-power devices (such as smartphones or accessories) as the second device.

• Avoid connecting two high-power devices at the same time if optimal charging speed is required.

• Allow up to 30 seconds for the charger to optimise power distribution after connecting a second device.

• Be aware that charging performance may be reduced in high ambient temperatures due to thermal protection.

• Avoid leaving a cable attached without a connected device.

Cable requirements

The performance of the USB charger depends directly on the cable used.

Recommended cable types

Standard use

• Use a USB-C to USB-C cable that:

  • Supports Power Delivery (PD)

  • Supports at least 3 A (60 W)

• This is sufficient for:

  • Smartphones

  • Tablets

  • Most laptops

Optimal performance

• For best and future-proof performance, use a USB-C to USB-C cable that:

  • Supports 5 A (100 W)

  • Includes an E-marker chip. An E-marker (Electronically Marked) chip is a protocol controller embedded in the cabl that communicates the cable’s capabilities (power supply, receiving and transmission) and that ensures correct negotiation between charger and device.

• Benefits:

  • More stable charging performance

  • Reduced voltage loss

  • Safe and accurate power negotiation

  • Optimal power delivery for high-power devices, such as laptops

  • Enables full utilisation of the charger capacity (up to 65 W)

  • Better performance when using multiple ports simultaneously

Cable types to avoid

• USB-A to USB-C cables:

  • These do not support Power Delivery

  • Charging power will be significantly limited

• Low-quality or unspecified cables:

  • May result in slower charging

  • May cause unstable performance

Example of suitable cables

Standard use

Standard cables from major brands (such as Apple and Samsung) are generally compatible:

• Typically support Power Delivery up to approximately 60 W

• Suitable for smartphones, tablets and most laptops

Optimal performance

Examples:

• Anker USB-C to USB-C cable (100 W)

• UGREEN USB-C to USB-C cable (100 W, with E-marker)

• Belkin USB-C Power Delivery cables

• Baseus USB-C cables (100 W)
