its less crappy compared to other chargers and actually seems pretty well built with proper y cap, proper isolation distance, sync rectifier compared to a diode, properly rated, interference inductor, fuse, ntc, chonky FULL BRIDGE RECTIFYA, reasonable pretty nice transformer, insulation shield....

I have a FNIRSI FNB58 USB tester that stopped working while testing a charger with the QC3.0 fast charging protocol activated. The charger was outputting 20V with a charging current between 1.5 and 2A. The charger was connected to the USB Type-C input, and the load was on the USB Type-A output. The tester turned off in the same way as shown in this video when exceeding a certain current, but I was unable to get it to turn back on. I tried with other chargers, but it still doesn't work. According to the product specifications, it should be able to handle up to 28V and 7A, so I am surprised that the device failed under these conditions. Does anyone have any idea if this is normal and what I could do to repair it?

But than you can’t use it for charging a iPad or a power bank. So it’s useless. Better buy a Anker or similar good brand charger.

[@Kraaketaer]

Really love to see you testing slightly "higher end" chargers like this. I actually have one of these myself, so it's great to see that for the most part it's safe and well designed - though clearly not meant for continuous 40W loads. I suppose in its defense one could argue that most USB-C loads (like smartphones and tablets) don't draw constant high currents like that but tend to taper off quite quickly, and at least this isn't quite a laptop charger in terms of output power (or, at least, for any laptop that would draw more than 15-20W under load when fully charged). Those temperatures are still not acceptable, and this really should have had some kind of metal heatsink included in its design, as clearly "sinking" to the plastic casing through those flimsy pads is completely insufficient. Btw, do you have any plans to test the new IKEA Sjöss USB-C chargers? They're close to this in price, and IKEA chargers have tended to be very well designed previously from what I've seen.

[@DrHouse-zs9eb]

A metal heatsink probably wouldn't help the slightest. The case has the same surface area and that's just too small to dissipate the heat. Bigger housing or higher efficiency would do the trick.

[@Kraaketaer]

@@DrHouse-zs9eb True, but a metal heatsink would increase the size of the casing as there's no room for one with the current design. And a larger casing with no heatsink wouldn't really help, at best it would increase the time it took to heat up by a few minutes. You need a highly thermally conductive material to get heat away from the hot components and to the outer edges of the charger where it can be dissipated into the air. The heat output of this at 40W is still too high for continuous use unless it had some unreasonably advanced cooling, but even a pretty basic aluminium heatsink shroud surrounding the charger and touching the hottest components inside would lower internal temperatures significantly. Not enough for continuous 40W output, but probably enough to extend the charger's lifetime by quite a bit.

[@d46512]

Using a metal shell would require a three prong grounded plug in the USA for safety.

[@Kraaketaer]

@@d46512 To be clear, I don't mean an *outer* metal shell. Most high quality high output chargers have an internal metal heatsink, which typically wraps around part of the outside, but inside of the plastic shell. No grounding needed.

It is 40W. Most phones charge super fast with that power. Its actually unnecessary to leave it for hours with maximum load. I will get hot, sure. But it wont get that hot in a short period of time, at max load. my 45W Huawei charger wasnt even hot to the touch after a full charge on my phone, only if I accidently left it for hours during work.

[@Alex-mj7km]

USB-C can be used for laptops, soldering irons, etc. Not just phones, and those can consume huge amount of power for long periods of time. High quality chargers don't get that hot at max. rated power output. Charger in the video should have been limited to 30W.

[@Conservator.]

@@Alex-mj7kmWell said. It only needs to go wrong once. It’s not worth the risk.

[@galaxya40s95]

​@@Alex-mj7km Yeah, I wonder how difficult it would be to decrease the maximum output. Guess it depends on how accessible the resistors are.

@@Alex-mj7km Doesnt even need to be limited, some thermal throttling would be enough.

[@Freeman666Gordon]

And how much of chargers have a marking about how long it supposed to operate at maximum load?

[@gabest4]

We had a hand blender and its motor burned out. Upon closer observation there was a warning text printed on it, something similar to this: "do not run it for more than a minute". Sometimes you just have to know how long it can be used before it gets too hot.

[@galaxya40s95]

Yep, just bought a cheap blender, it says: "run for 60 seconds max, then let cool down for 5 minutes" Makes sense considering it is completely sealed and has 800w motor in it. To be fair, the thing can do most stuff in under 30s anyway.

[@absurdengineering]

@@galaxya40s95They did cheap out on a thermal switch in the motor windings. If it had one, there would be no burn-outs. The whole “use it for 60s” thing is silly when it could be automatically enforced using cheap components.

[@galaxya40s95]

@@absurdengineering I definitely agree. But that is kind of what you expect when buying cheap stuff. Hardly enough money to pay for decent materials, much less for proper engineering I suppose. And much easier to add a sentence or two into the manual. But imo as long as you keep this in mind and do not try to use it in professional environment, its fine.

[@rhiantaylor3446]

My smartphone has a 5000mah battery and charges at a maximum rate of 18 watts so I would need to be charging two of them at the same time for a decent period before it gets excessively hot - looked like a good device and worth the money.

[@Kraaketaer]

Also your phone won't be pulling 18W constantly while charging the battery - typically you'll see the peak power draw only up to 40-60% charge, then it will drop off quite quickly to not damage the battery.

[@Conservator.]

If you are aware of that and would make sure it’s never used above 30W then it would be ok, in theory. It would be a good charger if those limits would have been built in. As it is now, I think it’s not worth the risk. Keep in mind that it only needs to go wrong in all of its lifetime. It’s unfortunate because other than that, it’s very well designed.

[@Kraaketaer]

@@Conservator. It is unfortunate that it has such insufficient cooling, but also remember that smartphones and other small electronics don't draw anywhere near their maximum charging current for the full charging time. To avoid damaging the battery charging will start slowing down from ~40-60% and go ever slower as the battery fills up. So even charging, say, a phone and a set of headphones, or two phones, or a phone and a small tablet would be fine in most cases. Just don't connect two tablets or large battery phones with fully drained batteries at the same time.

[@Conservator.]

@@Kraaketaer That’s ok if you’ll make sure that no one will ever draw 40W from your charger. So you should never leave it unattended etc.

[@Kraaketaer]

@@Conservator. Drawing 40W isn't the problem. Drawing 40W for extended periods of time is. Remember, in the video it was tested outputting 40W constantly for two hours, and while I'm sure it reached the temperatures we saw after far less time than that, I still wouldn't be worried if it was to occasionally output 40W for 20-30 minutes at a time. And no regular use of a charger like this will see it outputting a constant 40W for hours. Now, is it a charger that's likely to last forever? Obviously not. Is it dangerous to use with the types of things people typically connect to chargers like this? Arguably not, for the reasons I've given above. Will it eventually fail? Yes, obviously. Does that make it unsuited for things like charging smartphones? Again, arguably not.

Not bad if you only use it at reduced load. The problem is if your device or devices are capable of charging at the higher power levels, they'll do it irrespective of the internal temperature of the charger. Besides using chips with some kind of thermal throttling, I'm not really sure how they could reduce the temperature of these kinds of chargers. They're just too small and have too little surface area to dissipate that much heat.

Think it withstood 160 degrees without failing - not recommend but not bad from a shear performance point of view. And the customers ask for such small packades - of course without sufficient cooling surfaces and without active cooling via ventilators like with a PC power supply for instance. It's not the manufacturers fault when the market asks for the impossible.

15:40 you can get two power MOSFET, tank capacitor, 20v+ zener, ultrafast rectifier, centertap the dual primary And about 100uh inductor Remove the feed back from the transformer And use feedback wound on same inductor Or just regulate power and current on secondary a side, and output constant voltage it's a flyback so the cheap zvs driver works. The problem with em back in the day was running over 100volts without blowing up transistor gates

[@Clancydaenlightened]

Push 100w and run at half the heat waste That topology only switches the transistor on or off only when the voltage across drain and source is as close to a possible zero Could also switch based on when the current across is zero too Or when the voltage and current cross with effectively no flow of power too Want a extremely low rds on the transistor Make sense to turn a switch on or off when no load is apparent Less work it actually needs and switches can switch faster Cant have switching loss when the switch hardly sees any apparent power...

[@Clancydaenlightened]

Zvs doesn't need digital logic to switch voltage It's a resonant smps Pretty much a Tesla coil driver in cw mode but much more efficient

[@cambridgemart2075]

Looking at the quality of the transformer, the complexity of the circuitry and the capability, I wonder if the circuit boards were developed to meet an OEM spec, but then they reused the parts in a cheap enclosure without heatsinks to make a cheap charger. Edit: I noticed the 40W rating is spread across both outputs, it looked like you were applying the full load on just 1 output. Granted, the charger should limit the output to 20W on each output, but the test was not absolutely fair.

Keď tá nabíjačka zvládne trvalý výkon 40W po dobu 30 minút, tak je dobrej kvality aj keď to je čína. Skoro všetky telefóny s podporou PD sa nabijú zhruba za 30-40 minut pri 40W. Samozrejme že 40W berie len v určité momenty kedy teplota baterie nie je nad limitom tepelen ochrany.

I wish I could send you my $3 66w charger, it works so well I've bought 3 of them so far, really like to know how they made it so cheap!

It looks ancient but it has USB type C

[@yoppindia]

ok design, management probably skimped on quality components and heat sink.

The best transformer i guess..!?

[@DiodeGoneWild]

Definitely the best transformer outside the EU market.

This looks like a pretty nice 30W charger. Shame they chose to run it at 40W.

[@getyerspn]

Seems like it could have been a good PSU if only they hadn't tried to fit it all in such a small box.

[@FAB1150]

Idk why I'd want to risk it with a 15€ aliexpress charger (other than to have fun with tearing it apart lol), when the anker 65W is like 20€ on Amazon and smaller lol

[@mik310s]

Its a nice design, but like most of these they require some heatsinking.
