Since most smartphone batteries are limited to 5,000 mAh, the next challenge for battery life is fast charging. Fortunately, modern smartphones charge faster than they did a few years ago, and charging speeds of 25-40 watts are common.
However, some phones can charge at 60W, 80W, or even 180W! Meanwhile, many manufacturers no longer include high-speed chargers with smartphones, citing a desire to reduce e-waste. An additional charger often sells for $45 or more (at 45W).
This is where high-performance chargers like the EZQuest UltimatePower 90W GaN Wall Charger come in, especially for heavy users who may need to charge multiple USB-C devices.
Block EZQuest UltimatePower 90W power supply It's equipped with two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, allowing it to deliver up to 90W of total power via USB-C or distribute the power to charge multiple devices. Overall, you can get
- 1x 90W USB-C
- 2 x 45W USB-C ports
- 1x 24W USB-A + 1x 24W USB-C + 1x 60W USB-C
This means you can charge three devices at very high speeds, or even power a lightweight 60W laptop and charge two mobile devices simultaneously.
I tested it with different phones and the charger used the maximum USB PD (Power Delivery) power stated by the manufacturer, so it works well.
At Ubergizmo, we travel frequently. So, we find it more convenient to carry one of these power banks for a small laptop (like the Lenovo X1 nano) and a couple of mobile devices than three original chargers.
We try to sync all our devices (including toothbrushes) with the USB-PD charging standard so we always have spare chargers on hand or can share them with colleagues. Similarly, if you lose your laptop charger, it's easy to buy a new USB-C charger anywhere in the world. This doesn't apply to laptops that use a proprietary power connector.
We haven't tested the 120W version, but if you have a laptop that draws more than 60W, consider upgrading to 100W GaN charger and more. Travelers should remember that 75 watts is typically the maximum power allowed for airplane seats.
If the laptop attempts to draw more power than specified, the outlet's protection mechanism will be activated. We've heard of 100W outlets, but haven't seen one in the wild yet.
We like the build quality, size, and functionality of this product. The gallium nitride (GaN) charger market is very competitive, but EZQuest is gaining a strong reputation, which likely gives it an advantage over lesser-known brands with similar products.
