What is the real temperature when it charges big devices like laptops?
The charger’s standard operating temperature range is 86-122 °F (30-50 °C). It may run warm when charging high‑draw devices such as laptops, this is normal and does not affect performance or safety.
Does it support PPS protocol?
Yes, it supports PPS protocol.
Is it normal for the charger to be warm to the touch?
It is normal for the charger to get warm to the touch at times, especially when having 3 devices connected at one time.
Since this charger has GaN technology (Gallium Nitride), it will be able to handle a higher charge at a lower temperature.
Can I connect my devices in any order on this charger?
Yes. Devices can be connected in any order. The charger intelligently distributes power via its two USB‑C PD ports (45 W and 30 W) plus a USB‑A port (30 W) to support up to three devices simultaneously. Power is dynamically allocated without requiring a specific connection order.
Can you use a USB‑C male to USB‑A female adapter to connect a USB‑A to Lightning charging cable to this charger?
Yes, you can use our USB-C to USB-A Adapter or any USB-C to USB-A adapter with our charger!
Can I use any Type‑C to Type‑C cable for charging at the maximum power?
For maximum performance, use a 100 W‑capable USB‑C to USB‑C cable that supports full Power Delivery wattage. Lower-rated cables may limit charging speed or not negotiate full power.
What is the charger made of? Is it Plastic or Aluminum?
The housing is constructed of durable, heat‑resistant hard plastic, designed to meet safety and quality standards.
What does GaN stand for?
GaN stands for Gallium Nitride, a semiconductor technology used in charging devices to improve power efficiency and heat management, enabling a compact form factor with high charging output.
I have a MacBook Pro (13‑inch, M1, 2020), iPad Pro 12.9‑inch (5th gen), and iPhone 12 Pro Max. Will it be compatible with all my devices and can it charge my devices quickly?
Yes. The charger is fully compatible with all those devices. It can deliver up to 90 W for laptops, 18 W for tablets or phones via the second USB‑C port, and 12 W total via USB‑A. Your MacBook Pro will draw up to 90 W, and your iPad and iPhone will charge at their supported PD rates, ensuring fast charging across the board.
Will I be able to charge my Samsung Galaxy or is this just for Apple devices?
Yes, you can charge your Samsung Galaxy. While Satechi documentation highlights Apple ecosystem compatibility, the USB‑C PD ports support any PD‑capable device, including Android smartphones like the Galaxy.
When charging 3 devices, how will it distribute power through all 3 devices?
With up to 108 W total output, the charger smartly allocates power:
- USB‑C PD port 1 provides up to 45 W
- USB‑C PD port 2 provides up to 30 W
- USB‑A port provide up to 30 W
The system dynamically balances output based on each connected device’s needs to optimize charging across all connected devices.
