I'm a techy. However ignorant of this "new" protocol. My nephew claimed the charger and cable he got with his Samsung changed faster than a pair I pulled out of my collection. I told him 5V is 5V, and the only way to push more power was to UP the V. I=E/R. I didn't realize he was correct. Now I am aware. Thanks!

[@kona328WH]

Solid video my man. I wanted to know the difference from PD 1.0 to PD 3.1 and this video nailed it.

[@johanvanrijn1043]

Great explanation. This 2.0and 3.1 versions are great news for the consumers. Thanks to the EU comity, they are in the process of forcing companies like apple and samsung the use universal power supplies. So hopefully at the end of the struggle the consumers in the EU will benefit from all these new features of USB-C

[@mr.miranda4624]

Oh man, such a quality info in just one video, I tell you, if this info was in other languages It would be a hit !

[@polontang7909]

There are power banks with USB-C ports handling both input and output. So that a mains charger charges the power bank on the same USB-C port that charges another device (such as a phone). How does that USB-C port know the direction of the power. For example, when 2 power banks are connected together over their USB-C PD ports, which power bank is changing or being charged? Thanks.

[@mrpicky1868]

my problem is that even laptops that can accept PD charging do not specify anything. what how when... so often you know only after you already bought it

[@GlennNDavis]

Great Discussion: Thanks! I tried going to the links above, It seems that it is not easy to find your USB-c PD gear! My recommendation: Please, make the link page go to PD enabled gear starting with the most capable products first! This would be in the spirit of the good and easy features of powering with USB-c PD chargers. I am only trying to make you more money! You have already done most of the work by presenting this video! You already sell & MAKE the products! (I think!) It seems that all is needed is to clearly list the PD feature capabilities and current and wattages etc. Also, The website needs to point back to these videos! Thanks again! Also, For ease of reading see how the site handles reading with several CTRL+'s that I use to read! I usually prefer 7 Ctrl+'s if it doesnt break things too much!

[@Greg-vq9tu]

Aaand just like that I found my newest addiction. Loved your video, my goodness! So informative. Thank you so much!

[@SabrentUSAOfficial]

Welcome!!

[@krashdown5814]

Thanks man, sweet presentation, now I rest assured I won't fry my Olympus camera. I will wait until my new Olympus with the USB-C port arrives, don't want my Gimbal on such a high charge rate it tries to strangle me. I will use the correct charger for the appliance, definitely worth subscribing to your channel, peace Bro'.

[@dr.fitprofessor4363]

I have to take issue with one thing. I own a 65 watt warp charger from OnePlus and it offers PD type C charging. I discovered this when I attempted to use it to charge my Microsoft surface laptop. In addition, I also own 2 type C output super vooc 125 watt chargers and they are also capable of PD charging. It is true that they deliver proprietary charging formats but, they also support pd, PP as well as QC formats. As it turns out, they are very versatile.

[@zan1971]

I had no idea such different chargers existed. No wonder my phone was not charging fast enough. Now I'll have to buy a new charger.

[@robertstodomingo409]

Highly informative, excellent English, and concise.

[@ZacHarvey]

Great explanation. Covered exactly what I wanted to know, and what I didn't know I wanted to know.

[@briannielsbergh]

Great video, thank you very much for explaining :)

[@SabrentUSAOfficial]

You're very welcome!

[@vladislavkaras491]

Great and short. Thanks for the video!

Very nice! Thank you 😃

[@megapangolin1093]

Thanks, Mike, interesting and helpful video. Good to hear a Brit voice supporting a USA company.

[@epicmomogamer8378]

A quick question about usb pd3.0, Im thinking about buying a hub for my laptop but it only has one usbc port and it's a pd3.0, this brings to the question can this port be used as a normal usbc to connect an external monitor? Thanks

[@Gyppor]

240w through a usb-C connector, that is bonkers! thanks for the explanation.

[@BenPhanStudios]

Great video! Do all USB-C ports have PD charging? Meaning as long as I'm using USB-C I never need to worry about frying a device? Thanks!

[@wisteela]

Excellently explained. Subscribed.

[@SabrentUSAOfficial]

Awesome, thank you!

[@NithinVarghese-zk4vt]

can we program usb pd functionality in stm32? for upto 29 volts...?

[@kaede_jing]

My laptop usb c port only support data transfer, wondering if it could be charged when connected to a usb c pd port in monitor or docking station...

[@gayandesilva3180]

Thanks

[@blepz8818]

I have RavPower charger 45watt output max. It has 1 type C PD port and 1 usb A fast charging. Is it safe charge macbook pro (USB type C PD) and iphone (usb A) simultaneously?

[@stefanya8330]

so i have a question. im going to use satechi USB c hub and i want ethernet on my ipad pro . so can I use cable creation USB c to ethernet converter in a USB c pd of satechi hub . please tell . and if this is wrong ,tell me a solution

[@stelic9515]

Even if will be proprietary we can cheat using PD decoy (hope) Thank you for information's

[@charruaporelmundo]

So I can ise a usbc PD to plug my iphone 14 pro?. I was scare to do it since it say 100 w.

[@tyronewalker5764]

Well done sir, I've got some cables I can trash.

[@tbterrorist]

Thanks for the explanation... I have a question. I have a netbook-sized computer that has 1 USB - C port for charging and connecting devices. The Charger plug: TYPE-C30IC suggests 30W PD. I want to purchase a Pass through hub to be able to charge both the device and connect other devices at the same time... I've been told NOT to use either of the 65W, 87W or 100W PD Pass-Through Hubs. I'm confused... the advice I was given appears to contradict what's being said in this video... I don't want to fry my little CODA WAVE computer - HELP!

[@firdaus99031]

It doesnt matter whether 65, 87, or 100W. USB PD will auto adjust based on device wattage needs and do the pass-thru

[@thomasjust2663]

Very confusing and I'm an engineer, however made this really screwed up

[@mariantubal899]

USB C-PD is good for Dynabook vc72/d?

[@florida199]

I have 3 type c chargers at home , 1 in the car and 1 at work. Not one of them can change my new Pixel 7pro ! I'll be returning the phone just because of the complexities of charging, it should have been able to charge with a simple type c . All these big companies are creating more waste at a time when we are trying to recycle.

[@omarbacchus7127]

My hoco 5A PD charger keep saying pd and not changing

[@laptopgamers9158]

So if my phone dont support pd,can it have pd charging?or charger and phone also need to support pd?

[@ShadowriverUB]

If it does not support charger will just send standard 5V/0.9A and nothing happens, USBPD extra power modes need to be requested by device.

[@ASIFNASAR]

I need a USBC hub that has 2USBC PD ports. Is anyone aware of any hubs?

[@hungrywolf4903]

can I have a male to male usb cable to run a charged pc alongside a pc with no battery?

[@dylanh3712]

I will give you a try, here you have an extra subscription!

[@SabrentUSAOfficial]

Welcome aboard!

[@Chris-zu4es]

so what's new? PD3.0 is the latest?

[@ann-njuguna]

My monitor came with a 85W pd cable, will I damage my monitor if I replaced the 85w cable with a 100w cable?

[@ShadowriverUB]

No, those values only say maximum power that cable can handle before isolation starts to melt, every cable has this parameter usually, power cables most obviously. Also the way USB PD works is that host/charger as long as it follows the spec won't sent more then standard 5V/0.9A (4.5W) until client device request it.

[@ann-njuguna]

@@ShadowriverUB thanks, I appreciate this

[@007max.]

Dear Sir, kindly suggest a pd charging adapter for my laptop ( MSI creator 15 -20.0V,11.5A,230W ) . The charging adapter is very heavy and big size also so I can't carry it for my daily purpose . Please suggest an alternative small size adapter for my daily usage .Product Name / Serial Number Creator 15 A10SFS-287US-GG71087H32GXXDX10P , K2009N0041193

[@firdaus99031]

USB-PD only support max 5A. Even the new USB-PD 240W only up to 48V 5A

[@champasama6839]

Only useful video on this topic.

[@alifkhan5806]

Can I charge a PD device with a non PD charger and a non PD device with PD charger?

[@ShadowriverUB]

Mostly Yes, as long as they USB devices follows the spec, all USB devices are made to receive standard USB power of 5V/0.9A (4.5W). Only exception may be non battery devices that require more power to function. 2.Yes, USB-PD is optional feature and all chargers that follow spec will always start up by sending standard 5V/0.9A until client device request more, so or else charger is faulty it should work and function normally.

[@demetriospapavasiliou8167]

Perhaps a dumb question, but I'm really just trying to figure out if a usb-c PD cable is a thing and if it's required to work with a charger that has PD. I'm seeing some cables advertised on Amazon as PD and other cables that are for fast charging but it doesn't mention PD

[@6210classick]

Generally, most Type-C cables capable out at 30-60w but PD ones are capable of reaching 100w so any Type-C cable that can charges at 100w if not more, is PD certified. Just don't cheap out and buy the least expensive option and brother's go for the most expensive

[@demetriospapavasiliou8167]

@@6210classick I just purchased a cable that is max 60w and has PD

[@6210classick]

@@demetriospapavasiliou8167 I didn't anything less than 100w can't have PD, it just that 100w cables are mostly PD certified so yeah, there are 60 and even less wattage PD cables, ya just need to know how to pick them out from the ever increasing crowd of garbage cables

[@kona328WH]

Cables are not rated in wattage. Its in Amps. Most of them are 3A And 5A. That's 60W and 100W respectively

[@winhtut9050]

Excellent explanation. Advanced tech for all gadgets but not for iPhone. Bye bye iPhone.

[@packratswhatif.3990]

OK ...... Now what could possibly go wrong here ?

[@colinmorand129]

This is why apple are going with this connector for the new iphone 15

[@syarifairlangga4608]

i would never buy PD charging again. my laptop broke and ineffisien. i recomended to use Buil-in charger with standard DC in. because it doesnt have special chip to regulate the wattage

[@TechmagnimeHD]

Hey there, can you help me with a question ? I have a USB C hub equipped with a USB C PD up to 60W, can I power/charge my laptop through this USB hub safely ? Please note that my laptop is powered by a charger with the capacity of 65W. Thank you!

[@lian-illuminati]

Hello, I guess your original question has already been answered since it's been almost a year, but I wonder if that USB C PD port can also transfer data? Or is it charge only?

[@injured_lion]

Normally i dont like British accents but dude yours is different i can listen to u talk all day 💛
