You can use them to charge a connected device or power the host device itself. We have the USB Power Delivery (USB PD) standard to thank for that. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, everything seems as convenient as plugging a cable into the form-fitting holes! <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is it, though?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with data connectivity, just because there\u2019s a universally fitting port, the USB-C, doesn\u2019t mean the power output is the same. That\u2019s not to mention the foreseeable future need for the legacy USB-A port. Like all things, USB PD charging can be complicated. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This post will explain all that in simple terms so that you can plug things into things with confidence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dong\u2019s note<\/strong>: <em>A portion of this piece was originally part of the post on the <a href=\"https:\/\/dongknows.com\/usb-vs-thunderbolt-and-the-usb-c-port-type\/\">USB-C peripheral standard<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group related-posts-series\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong>Related stories on<\/strong> charging<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-perfmatters-preload=\"\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-UGREEN-Nexode-Pro-160W-Charger-with-Retractable-Cable-in-action-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"The UGREEN Nexode Pro 160W Charger with Retractable Cable in action\" class=\"wp-image-154176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-UGREEN-Nexode-Pro-160W-Charger-with-Retractable-Cable-in-action-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-UGREEN-Nexode-Pro-160W-Charger-with-Retractable-Cable-in-action-270x360.jpg 270w, https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-UGREEN-Nexode-Pro-160W-Charger-with-Retractable-Cable-in-action-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-UGREEN-Nexode-Pro-160W-Charger-with-Retractable-Cable-in-action.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" fetchpriority=\"high\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A USB-C charger in action.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"usb-power-delivery-a-complex-technology-made-convenient\"\/>USB Power Delivery: A complex technology made convenient<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To understand how USB Power Delivery works, we need to understand electricity at a basic level. Let\u2019s do a quick and not-so-boring refresher.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-basics-of-electricity-and-charging\"\/>The basics of electricity and charging <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a class=\"dkt-current-page-link\" href=\"https:\/\/dongknows.com\/usb-power-delivery-usb-pd-explained\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"153955\">flow of lectricity<\/a> is somewhat like water. There are three things involved:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Voltage (V) <\/strong>or <strong><strong>Pressure<\/strong><\/strong>: The force ready to be sent over the wire. It\u2019s like the built-up water pressure before you open the valve or floodgate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ampere (A) <\/strong>or <strong>Current<\/strong>: The size of the energy flow. It\u2019s the pipe size in the flow of water or the size of the floodgate. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Watts (W) <\/strong>or <strong>Hydraulic Force<\/strong>: The amount of energy being delivered or consumed in real time. In water delivery, it\u2019s the force of the liquid flow from one container to another.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s the relationship between these three: <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>W = V * A<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wattage means power: The higher the watts (W), the faster electricity moves from one place to another (charging speed) or the more energy it can produce (power output).<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the two ends of the electricity flow, we have the volume of electricity or the <strong>capacity<\/strong>, which is the amount of electricity accumulated or consumed \u2014 similar to the total amount of water in a tank (or lake). Electricity capacity is often measured in two units, depending on the size \u2014 the higher the value, the larger the capacity: <\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Large batteries or devices (such as EVs) use <strong>Watt-hours<\/strong> (Wh), often kilowatt-hours (kWh). 1 kWh = 1000 Wh.<\/li>\n<li>Small batteries or devices (such as power banks, laptops, or smartphones) use <strong>Ampere-hours<\/strong> (Ah), often in milliampere-hours (mAh). 1 Ah = 1000 mAh. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ampere-hours is generally more accurate than watt-hours because it focuses on small increments in quantity, but it applies only when the voltage (V) is predetermined, which is generally the case with electronic devices\u2019 internal batteries. Here\u2019s the relationship between the Wh and Ah:<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>mAh = (Wh \u00d7 1,000) \u00f7 V<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, a 72 Wh battery has a capacity of 14,400 mAh at 5V.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"usb-power-delivery-and-port-types\"\/>USB Power Delivery and port types<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">USB Power Delivery follows the same principle above and applies that to the USB port, originally invented primarily for data delivery, as an alternative to the standard power socket.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the power source\u2019s perspective, there are two main USB port types applicable to charging: type A (USB-A) and type C (USB-C).<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"usb-pd-and-usb-a\"\/>USB PD and USB-A<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The USB-A port type generally has low\u00a0real-world power outputs and became part of USB Power Delivery version 1 in 2012, which generally formalized this port\u2019s existing power outputs. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though USB PD 1.0 has multiple power profiles, as shown below, within it, USB-A has a realistic <em>max <\/em>real-world power output of 18 W. The point is that if you see a USB-A charging port, generally expect no more than 18W of charging speed. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The truth is that we still use USB-A for charging only for backward compatibility \u2014 generally, legacy USB devices that don\u2019t use USB-C for charging only work well when plugged into a USB-A port.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"USB Power Delivery (USB PD): UGREEN 145W Faster Charger underside\" class=\"wp-image-128124 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/UGREEN-145W-Faster-Charger-underside-768x1024.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/UGREEN-145W-Faster-Charger-underside-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/UGREEN-145W-Faster-Charger-underside-270x360.jpg 270w, https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/UGREEN-145W-Faster-Charger-underside-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/UGREEN-145W-Faster-Charger-underside.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Here\u2019s the power output readout of a power band\/USB PD charger.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"usb-pd-and-usb-c\"\/>USB PD and USB-C<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s safe to say the power of USB charging is in the USB-C port type. In fact, true USB Power Delivery starts with version 2.0, released in 2014, which applies only to USB-C \u2014 later versions follow suit. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some quick highlights of different USB PD versions:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>USB PD 2.0 (2014)<\/strong>: Increases the max output to 100W via four voltage profiles of 5V, 9V, 15V, and 20V with a max amps of 5A. This version lacks flexibility (and, hence, efficiency): a voltage profile is generally fixed and can only be combined with a specific fixed amperage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>USB PD 3.0 (2015)<\/strong>: Adds support for Programmable Power Supply (PPS) for flexibility. Devices can request variable voltage or amperage in small increments \u2014 typically 20 mV and 50 mA, respectively. This version makes charging more efficient and safer \u2014 charger and devices have improved communication during the charging process. USB PD 3.0 is fully backward compatible with USB PD 2.0.<\/li>\n<li><strong>USB PD 3.1 (2021)<\/strong>: Adds a new voltage profile that includes three new levels of 28V, 36V, and 48V to deliver extended power range (EPR) with max output of 240W via enhanced requirements for USB-C cables for safety. This version is fully backward compatible with PD 2.0 and PD 3.0.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tables below show the general specs of different USB Power Delivery versions.

they must all use the USB-C port. A device or charger (power bank) with over 100W of power requirement or output uses USB PD version 3.1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Important<\/strong>: The max charging speed is only for reference. The actual speed is always lower after overhead and varies depending, among other things, on the quality of the charging cable as well as the device involved. <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"usb-power-delivery-profiles-and-their-interchangeability\"\/>USB Power Delivery profiles and their interchangeability<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you see a device that requires or supports more than 100W of power, it features USB 3.1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s the most important thing about USB Power Delivery: No matter what version you use, the following are generally true:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A higher-charging-profile power source (in Watts) does everything a lower-charging-profile one does without any harmful effects. <\/li>\n<li>A higher-charging-profile device can draw power from lower-charging-profile power sources at their highest compatible output.<\/li>\n<li>For safety reasons:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>USB Power Delivery\u2019s amperage is limited to 5A.<\/li>\n<li>For 45W or lower power outputs, any USB-C cable will work. Higher power outputs generally require specific (rated) USB-C cables.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The point is that, for <em>charging<\/em>, you can plug any USB-C-enabled battery-powered device into <em>any <\/em>USB-C power source without worrying about \u201cfrying\u201d it. The power source will automatically deliver its max charging speed or the max charging speed supported by the device, <em>whichever is lower<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, to <em>power up <\/em>USB-C devices that are not battery-operated, such as a router or a printer, you need to plug them into a power source with the same or higher power output than their power profile.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"brand-specific-proprietary-usb-chargers-and-wireless-charging\"\/>Brand-specific (proprietary) USB chargers and wireless charging<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While USB Power Delivery has become more universal, big-name hardware vendors have over the years made their own proprietary USB charging protocols for their products.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This approach allows them to create a device-specific charging protocol for optimal charging speed, often better than USB PD.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"771\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Here's the wireless charging surface of a power bank.\" class=\"wp-image-154352 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Heres-the-wireless-charging-surface-of-a-power-bank-771x1024.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Heres-the-wireless-charging-surface-of-a-power-bank-771x1024.jpg 771w, https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Heres-the-wireless-charging-surface-of-a-power-bank-271x360.jpg 271w, https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Heres-the-wireless-charging-surface-of-a-power-bank-768x1020.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Heres-the-wireless-charging-surface-of-a-power-bank-1156x1536.jpg 1156w, https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Heres-the-wireless-charging-surface-of-a-power-bank.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Here\u2019s the wireless charging surface of a power bank.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some examples among many existing brand-specific USB charging protocols:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Apple:<\/strong> USB-A charger (<strong>5V\/2.4A)<\/strong> for legacy iPhone and iPad that don\u2019t use a USB-C port or USB-C charger with 30W+ power output for first-generation USB-C iDevices.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Qualcomm Quick Charge (QC):<\/strong> An 18W USB-C charging protocol developed by Qualcomm for devices powered by its mobile chips. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Samsung Adaptive Fast Charging (AFC):<\/strong> Similar to QC but tuned for Samsung devices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">End devices with these proprietary charging standards are generally compatible with USB PD \u2014 you can safely charge them using a standard USB PD charger, possibly at a slightly slower charging speed. However, their chargers might or might not be compatible with standard USB PD devices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 2010, there\u2019s been a new wireless charging technology, called \u201cQi\u201d, by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wirelesspowerconsortium.com\/standards\/qi-wireless-charging\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wireless Power Consortium<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the name suggests, this type of charging doesn\u2019t require a wire. Instead, you can charge a supported end device (such as a phone) by placing it on top of an inductive surface of a charger. This surface is often magnetized to keep the device in place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Qi is currently available in three main versions:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Qi<\/strong> (original, 2010): Up to 5W of power output.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Qi v2.0 <\/strong>(2023): Up to 15W of power output.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Qi2 <\/strong>(a.k.a. Q v2.2.1, 2025): Up to 25W of power output.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most modern Qi wireless chargers support Qi2 (and newer) and connect to a power source via a USB-C cable, effectively making them USB PD devices themselves. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wireless charging is convenient but often slow and impractical when you need to charge multiple devices simultaneously.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"usb-pd-power-banks-and-chargers-general-buying-guide\"\/>USB PD power banks and chargers general buying guide<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first thing to note is that you should always buy third-party USB PD chargers, those that can charge all USB devices from all brands. Getting proprietary chargers means unnecessary e-waste much sooner than necessary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news is most, if not all, third-party power banks and chargers support USB PD, brand-specific USB charging protocols, and some even comes with a surface for wireless charging.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For safety reasons, you should get chargers, and especially power banks, from known brands that carry safety and compliance certifications. A low-quality charger can fry your device or even cause fires.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"UGREEN Nexode Pro 160W Charger with Retractable Cable front\" class=\"wp-image-154353 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/UGREEN-Nexode-Pro-160W-Charger-with-Retractable-Cable-front-768x1024.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/UGREEN-Nexode-Pro-160W-Charger-with-Retractable-Cable-front-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/UGREEN-Nexode-Pro-160W-Charger-with-Retractable-Cable-front-270x360.jpg 270w, https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/UGREEN-Nexode-Pro-160W-Charger-with-Retractable-Cable-front-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/UGREEN-Nexode-Pro-160W-Charger-with-Retractable-Cable-front.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0GLXGZWMY\/?tag=dkt-ct-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored\">UGREEN Nexode Pro 160W Charger<\/a> comes with everything you\u2019ll need, including a retractable USB-C. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other than that, keep the following in mind:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Size and design:<\/strong> Pick chargers\/power banks with a design (such as wall mount or desktop) and physical size that fit your need \u2014 generally, compact is good, but that also means fewer ports or lower power output. Pick the right balance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The number of ports: <\/strong>The more ports, the better, and there should be both USB-C and USB-A port types, as many legacy devices only charge well with the latter. At the minimum, a charger should have at least two ports, but ultimately this depends on how many devices you want\/need to charge at a time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Power output <\/strong>(in Watts) and<strong> capacity<\/strong> (in Wh or mAh): There are three things to note:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The max output of a single port: <\/strong>This is the charging speed. Generally, you want at least 45W (but 100 W or even 140W never hurts) for a USB-C port and 18W for a USB-A port.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Total power output: <\/strong>This is the amount of power the charger can deliver to one of its ports simultaneously.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Capacity<\/strong>: This applies only to power banks, and the higher the better. As a typical phone\u2019s battery is around 5,000 mAh, a power bank should have at least twice that, 10,000 mAh or more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optional features: <\/strong>These are features that can be useful:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>GaN support:<\/strong> Applicable to chargers only. Short for the element gallium nitride, GaN is an advanced semiconductor material that allows chargers to deliver high power output in a small physical size with less heat generation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wireless charging support:<\/strong> Many chargers and power banks come with a surface to support one wireless charging device. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Built-in retractable USB cable: <\/strong>This feature is extremely handy when you realize you don\u2019t have a USB cable readily available.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Status screen: <\/strong>It\u2019s helpful to know how much juice is left in the power bank or how fast the charging speed is in real-time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mobile app: <\/strong>Some desktop chargers can be connected to Wi-Fi and allow users to manage them via a mobile app. This can be helpful for remote management or firmware updates. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, while any USB cable is fine for charging handheld devices, for safety reasons, it\u2019s best to get cables that can handle high wattage.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"A USB charger in action, note its status screen\" class=\"wp-image-154351 perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-USB-charger-in-action-note-its-status-screen-768x1024.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-USB-charger-in-action-note-its-status-screen-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-USB-charger-in-action-note-its-status-screen-270x360.jpg 270w, https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-USB-charger-in-action-note-its-status-screen-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/dongknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-USB-charger-in-action-note-its-status-screen.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/dongknows.com\/sabrent-voltik-252w-8-port-usb-pd-3-0-charger-review\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"153832\">USB charger<\/a> in action, note its handy status screen.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"12-conclusion\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-takeaway\"\/>The takeaway<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to charging, it\u2019s generally safe to connect any USB-C devices to any USB-C power source. The difference is just a matter of how fast the charging speed is or if the device can be powered up at all.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, the most important thing is to get the right charger or power bank for your needs. When it comes to power, safety is a big concern, so don\u2019t skim and get cheap knock-off or no-name hardware.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By now, you might have been aware that USB-C is the universal port type for data connectivity.
