The fact that modern power adapters cannot sustain their full load without thermal throttling is just sad. It should be able to perform at maximum capacity indefinitely. If it can't, that should be noted on the marketing materials.

Not sure if I agree, there always are going to be inefficiencies, and how often are you going to continuously draw full load? And if you know you're going to do so, why not buy a slightly more over provisioned charger?
@AllThingsOnePlace
@AllThingsOnePlace Ай бұрын
Yeah, it's a question I ask a lot. It's the computer power supply problem, if you have a 150W CPU and a 300W graphics card you don't buy a 450W PSU, you buy a 750W PSU or more even. Many PC power supplies are optimized for maximum efficiency at half load too. But for USB chargers, I do think there could be clearer marketing, and there is a shift in power level, a 30 watt charger I expect to do 30 watts all the time, but a 100 watt charger that isn't much bigger, it's just not going to do it, it's too small to get the heat out. I agree on over provisioning though. I do that with the 165W Satechi, I use about 100 watts maximum and it's been extremely reliable. I think I should make a short follow up on this.

I'd agree. If it's a desk power supply then there should be no issue making it a hair larger for better heatsinks and a fan. This device is one I would leave on a desk and not move. So size is less of an issue for me vs a travel supply.

Thank you for another wonderful review! I've created an (hopefully) improved version of the Cable Comparison table. Saw in another comment that you're not much of a SW guy (I'm not much of a HW guy), so hope this helps! Some of the improvements I've made: 1. Improved statistics accuracy (2 decimal points) 2. Added a reference to the max/min values, i.e. which cable(s) scored the max/min (Example: most expensive cable shows as cable #206) 3. Added a separate column for data transfer rates* 4. People will be able to copy this table and use table filters and sort options! 5. Additional visualization improvements Google spreadsheet ID: 1whYvrKok5RHmTfs5LhnTo7scp4cIWNUzwEvKwBnUZPM (Unfortunately links cannot be posted in the comments, so you'll have to go into any Google Spreadsheet document and replace the ID in the URL to access the doc) (Note: It has to be a Google SHEETS document, not Google DOCS) *I've filled everything I could in the "Data Transfer" column, some data was missing and couldn't fill it. If you'd like to use this new format please copy it and go over this column to make sure it's correct. I can assist further if needed and add additional features upon request :)

Hey, thanks for all the tests! 5:41 It actually does support a slider for the wattage for each port (now after a firmware update lol), there are some restrictions (All USB Ports need at least 15W, only port 1 goes up to 140W, and the USB-A ports can switch between 15W and 24W) and you can only set the “custom charging modes” via the App. But it works actually quite well.

Well, you can see from this video, they actually optimized the 200W for operation on the higher voltage. It was not great on the lower voltage, but acceptable on 230V. In general, the idle power is a bit higher on 230 and the current is lower under heavier loads so often the efficiency will improve a bit.

Hi, I have a basic question: When a USB-A port charger is advertised as ‘up to 2.4A max’ (and only capable of 5V output), does that mean it will be able to operate at lower current settings too, such as 1A, based on a device’s needs? I have an Anker Powerport 2 Elite USB-A Charger (A2023) and wanted to know be sure it’s safe for low current devices (eg, 5V/1A). Thanks in advance!
@AllThingsOnePlace
@AllThingsOnePlace 5 күн бұрын
Yes, that should be fine. The charger won't force more current into the device just because it can. It is the responsibility of the device manufacturer to make sure they limit charging to whatever the product can handle. A lot of cheap products skip this step and some very expensive ones. I have a $20,000 piece of test equipment that blows up batteries regularly, purely the charging circuit. Of course they also serialized the battery with a chip so you can't replace the cells either.

Hello, I have a few small suggestions. In your clip, at 8:27s, I see you set the electronic load to 100W, resulting in the charger operating at 5.2A per port. As I understand it, the operation is higher than the parameters of the PD charging standard (20V@5A). This setting is not true to reality because no device can pull the charger to operate at 5.2A unless using an electronic load. In addition, you use the voltage displayed on the load to evaluate, which in my opinion is not accurate because it is affected by the internal resistance of the Type C cable and the cable connected to the electronic load. To be more accurate, you can use a USB tester plugged into the charger output, then all influence of the cable will be eliminated and the results will remain unchanged even if different long or short cables are used. Hope you have more good and accurate clips in the future.
@modecir
@modecir Ай бұрын
Sorry if I'm pointing out the obvious because you make some interesting points and this is just to add some info. not to take from your arguments :) But I just wanted to say that, since the voltage in 20V mode is quite low with this charger (I assume it would still be low and under 20V if measured at the source as you suggested, which is also where I usually place my USB tester), his equipment obviously had to increase the current to 5.2A to reach the 100W load that it was asked to pull.
@dhphuckts
@dhphuckts Ай бұрын
@@modecir In electronic tests and measurements, it is necessary to limit external factors that can affect the measurement. For that reason, it is necessary to measure Ripple & noise, voltage... as close to the source as possible. In addition, each device or charger has nominal parameters (W, V, A...) announced by the manufacturer. Changing parameters during testing, for example current, leads to changes in many related technical parameters such as performance, voltage noise, voltage drop, PF, CF, THD.... If It's an overload test or an OCP function test... then it's ok, but to evaluate whether the product operates within specifications or not, the published parameters need to be used.

I really like the idea behind the 250W configurable desktop adapter. Hopefully we see more products in this class with better idle efficiency and thermals. IMO, even active cooling would be OK in this form factor if it only turns on under high load. The proprietary app and need for Wifi is concerning, though.

The fact they're pushing the idea of connecting to WI-FI for a charging station is absurd, and goes to show they can't be trusted for a lot of their products.

Thanks! I picked up the 200w for $50usd, it's replaced a few lower wattage adapters but it does get very hot if I plug a laptop into it. I mostly use it to charge batteries. Occasionally it does fail to negotiate and stops delivering power but it's been pretty inconsistent, it could be the cable or the equipment but I haven't noticed that behavior it on some of my older adapters.

Yeah, battery packs are the tough load scenario. It's when I can get them to turn off as well doing real work. The Ankers larger power banks will pull right to 100W on a 100W port.

First of thank you for your review videos. I need a small suggestion so that I can make the decision. Currently I am staying in USA, and I am planning to buy an Anker charger for my brother who is staying in India where the input voltage is AC - 240volts 50hertz. Which of the following will be safer to use. Mostly it’s for desktop use to charge the devices like 16inch MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, Apple Watch, iPhone, DJI batteries, monitors etc. and occasionally used during travel. 1. Anker Prime Charging Station, 240W 8-in-1 USB C Power Strip 2. Anker Prime Charger, 250W GaN Prime USB C Charging Station, Ultra-Fast 6-Port, 2.26" LCD Display and Smart Control Dial. Please let me know so that I can make the decision. Thanks & Appreciate it

Will you be making "The best USB power adapters/power banks" for 2024? Also, while the reviews you make aid greatly, it's still hard to figure out which ones are the best in class. Like, some older models, (like Anker's 737 120W adapter) look to be really good in comparison with the latest offerings (recently released 100W Anker Prime), but are they really?

The Zmi no20, it's expensive but should run 2 tablets for a reasonable while. It depends on usage and needs. At full tilt it'll be flat in under an hour. The larger power stations would hold up for longer, but depends on whether you want a luggable or a bag size power bank.

I ran the battery down and pressed the battery disconnect button. Now it appears to be working. A very poor first impression of fancy charging. Makes me wonder what was actually happening.

I probably missed it, but does the 200W renegotiate when you plug anything in? I still don't get it why those things are renegotiating at all: the 250W certainly has power monitors built-in so they know if the system is overloaded or not, if it isn't, there's absolutely no point in renegotiating, if there're is, they could simply send an update to a high power device, requesting to draw less; if that device doesn't obey, they could simply reset that one port to force a renegotiation. Power renegotiation is the pest of our time... 😠

If I may said this. I love your videos and knowledge I got from your video. But I probably will never buy any of those products. The reason is brand name cost a lot, there is no bargain or even understand the specs. Brand names has its quality control, so I know I can trust those products. But I don't want to pay so much for thing that I will never need, or I can easily use two cheaper chargers (still much cheaper than one brand name) to achieve the same result or relatively keep charger in cooler operating condition. I appreciate if you can help us find good product and save money. Like I recently bought an charger 175W UEETOP. I have tested things that I will use on UEETOP charger (all good) but I knew UEETOP might not perform as 175W max. If you can test chargers like that and tell use who to trust and who don't. That I think will make a lot of sense for us.

I understand it's very hard to find good budget chargers. He's also reviewed plenty of adapters from cheaper brands. For 100W, the Rocoren is excellent kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWO1lZ-cocZjqas And there's a lot of relatively affordable 140W chargers with PD 3.1 (many are clones of a design that's quite good): kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmXIpomciZaeqc0 and kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2TMg4GDqqtljpY I'd be careful with much cheaper options because of safety and reliability. Also, they may not last very long and you'll end up having to replace them, so at some point it isn't worth it and you get what you pay for.
