Product Overview
The Satechi 100W USB-C PD Compact GaN Charger uses GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology to deliver fast, efficient charging from a compact wall charger. The charger has two USB-C Power Delivery (PD) ports and one USB-A port, and can charge up to three devices simultaneously. Total output adjusts automatically based on connected devices — up to 100W from a single USB-C PD port.

- USB-A Port: Delivers up to 12W. Use for smartphones, earbuds, and other USB-A devices.
Setup
Step 1: Connect the 2-pin power connector to the back of the charger, then plug into a wall outlet.
- Connect the 2-pin power connector to the input port on the back of the 100W USB-C PD Compact GaN Charger.
- Plug the charger into a wall outlet. The charger is compatible with 100–240V outlets worldwide.
- Connect your USB-C device to one of the USB-C PD ports using a USB-C cable. For full 100W output to a laptop, use an EMark-rated USB-C cable — a cable with an embedded chip that enables safe 100W charging (sold separately).
- Connect additional devices to the remaining USB-C PD port or the USB-A port as needed.
- The charger automatically adjusts power distribution based on all connected devices.

The 100W USB-C PD Compact GaN Charger automatically adjusts output when multiple devices are connected:
