Understanding USB-C Wattage
Wall Charger Power Ratings for USB-CDevices
18–27W Phones, digital cameras, and drones
27–45W Medium-sized tablets and ultrabooks
45–100W Full-sized laptops and large screens
For high-powered devices like large laptops and external displays, the wall charger needs to be paired with a 5A cable to safely support up to 100W of charging. A regular 3-amp cable, by comparison, limits charging to 60 watts.
Lower-wattage USB-C chargers are often compatible with more power-hungry devices, though the charging speed will be reduced.
USB-C chargers have emerged as the norm for contemporary electronic devices, offering a one-size-fits-all, streamlined, and convenient solution for energy delivery and connectivity. With a slim, flippable design, USB C eliminates the hassle of figuring out plug orientation and provides high-speed power delivery and fast data transfer compared to earlier USB types. Its widespread implementation across mobile devices, tablets, laptops, and accessories cuts down on the number of multiple chargers, making it more convenient for users to use and recharge various devices with a single cable. This growing standardization also contributes to sustainability efforts by reducing electronic waste and making device interoperability easier.
