Technical Capabilities
The new charger features five USB-C ports and one USB-A port, allowing users to charge multiple devices simultaneously. The primary USB-C1 port supports the PD3.1 protocol and can deliver up to 240W of power, making it suitable for high-performance gaming laptops and even electric bikes.
The remaining USB-C ports (C2 through C5) each provide up to 100W of power, while the USB-A port offers 22.5W. This configuration enables users to charge several power-hungry devices at once without compromising on charging speed.
Advanced Technology
At the heart of this charging solution are six embedded Gallium Nitride (GaN) chips, which contribute to an energy conversion rate of up to 95%. This high efficiency ensures that more power reaches your devices while generating less heat than traditional silicon-based chargers.
The device incorporates a multi-channel NTC detection system that monitors temperature 100 times per second, allowing for real-time adjustments to maintain optimal performance. An interesting addition is the orientation sensor, which reduces power output if the charger is tipped over, preventing potential overheating issues.
Safety Features
UGREEN has implemented 11 protection protocols in this charger, including safeguards against:
- Over-current
- Overload
- Over-temperature
These safety measures are housed within a V-0 rated flame-retardant casing, demonstrating the company’s focus on user safety alongside high performance.
Design and Specifications
Despite its considerable power output, the charger maintains a relatively compact form factor, measuring 146 x 114.6 x 60.6mm. The Space Gray exterior gives it a modern aesthetic that should blend well with most desk setups. The device comes with an AC power cord for flexible placement options.
Technical specifications:
- Input: 100-240V~ 50/60Hz 7.0A Max
- USB-C1 Output: Up to 240W Max (supporting various voltage/amperage combinations)
- USB-C2/C3/C4/C5 Output: Up to 100W Max each
- USB-A Output: Up to 22.5W Max
- Total Output Power: 500W Max
Overall
The 500W capacity makes this charger particularly useful in shared workspaces, creative studios, or gaming setups where multiple high-power devices need charging. The ability to deliver 240W through a single port also future-proofs the device for upcoming laptops and other equipment that may require more power than current models.
For travellers or remote workers who frequent co-working spaces, this single device could potentially replace multiple chargers, reducing the bulk and weight of their tech carry.
The UGREEN 500W 6-Port GaN Fast Charger will be available for purchase on Amazon at £219.99 starting 26th May 2025.
