Understanding USB-C Wattage
Wattage Ranges of USB-C ChargersDevices
18–27W Mobile phones, action cameras, and small drones
27–45W Medium-sized tablets and ultrabooks
45–100W Large laptops, displays
For high-powered devices like large laptops and external displays, the wall charger needs to be paired with a 5A cable to safely support up to 100W of charging. A regular 3-amp cable, by comparison, limits charging to 60 watts.
Lower-wattage USB-C chargers may still be used with devices that need more power, though the charging speed will be reduced.
USB Type C chargers have emerged as the norm for today’s electronic devices, offering a versatile, high-performance, and easy-to-use solution for charging and data exchange. With a small, flippable design, USB C eliminates the hassle of figuring out plug orientation and supports faster charging and higher data speeds compared to previous USB types. Its wide adoption across mobile devices, tablets, laptops, and accessories cuts down on the number of multiple chargers, making it more convenient for users to use and recharge various devices with a single cable. This growing standardization also contributes to sustainability efforts by reducing electronic waste and making device interoperability easier.
