FAQ About Laptop Chargers

What features should I look for when buying a laptop charger?

When buying a laptop charger, look for key features like USB-C Power Delivery (PD) for faster charging, high wattage output (ideally 60W or more), and compatibility with your specific laptop brand and model. A compact, portable design is also important for on-the-go charging, while a multi-port charger allows you to charge multiple devices at once. Safety features, such as overcurrent and overvoltage protection, are also crucial for safe operation. Anker 737 Prime Charger (120W, 3 Ports, GaN) meets all the above requirements and is the best choice for a laptop charger.

How long does it take to charge a laptop with a laptop charger?

The time it takes to charge a laptop depends on the charger’s power output and the laptop’s battery capacity. On average, a laptop charger with USB-C PD 3.1 can charge a laptop to 50% in about 30-45 minutes. Full charging can take 1-3 hours, depending on the wattage and the specific laptop model. Anker Prime Charger (250W, 6 Ports, Control Dial) with higher wattage, and the exclusive PowerIQ 4.0 technology uses dynamic power allocation to detect the power needs of connected devices and automatically adjust the power to ensure faster and more efficient charging.

Can I use my laptop charger for other devices?

Yes, laptop chargers with USB-C or USB-A outputs can typically be used for other devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and even high-capacity power banks. However, charging speed may vary depending on the device's power requirements. For example, Anker chargers for laptops with PD 3.1 can fast-charge phones, but slower devices may charge at a reduced rate.

Can I use a laptop charger with multiple ports?

Yes, many laptop chargers now feature multiple ports, including USB-C and USB-A, allowing you to charge multiple devices simultaneously. This is especially useful if you need to power both your laptop and a smartphone or tablet at the same time. Anker’s multi-port chargers offer high-speed USB-C ports alongside additional outputs, providing efficient charging for all your devices while ensuring reduced clutter. Anker Prime Charger (250W, 6 Ports, GaNPrime) is an excellent option, offering up to six ports for various devices, making it perfect for reducing the number of chargers needed at your desk or while travelling.

What is the difference between a laptop charger and a power bank?

A laptop charger is typically designed to plug directly into a wall outlet and supply consistent power to your laptop. In contrast, a laptop power bank is a portable battery pack that stores energy for charging on the go. Laptop chargers offer higher power outputs, while power banks provide flexibility and portability but may not always match the wattage required to charge larger laptops efficiently. Some high-capacity power banks can charge laptops, but they may take longer due to their lower output capacity.

Can a Wall Charger Charge a Laptop?

Well, that depends! Laptops typically have higher voltage and wattage requirements for efficient charging, which are not commonly met by standard wall chargers for phones and other gadgets. That's why laptops come with dedicated chargers or power adapters, specifically designed to meet their unique power needs.

 

However, there are some great high-wattage wall chargers available that can handle a range of electronics, including laptops equipped with USB-C ports. Take Anker Prime Charger (100W, 3 Ports, GaN) for example. This charger works wonders for charging laptops, phones, and tablets, thanks to its exceptional compatibility. Moreover, these universal laptop chargers boast GaNPrime technology, making them smaller yet 100% faster.


Can I Use My USB-C Phone Charger to Charge My Laptop?

It depends on the specific power requirements of your laptop and the capabilities of your USB-C phone charger. Though it seems fine to use your USB-C chargers for iPhone as a USB C laptop charger, the phone charger may not provide sufficient power a regular laptop needs. So it may not work as expected.

To make sure your phone charger is able to charge your laptop, it's better to use universal multi-port USB chargers like Anker 737 Charger (GaNPrime 120W) which has 2 USB-C ports and one USB-A port and can power 3 devices like phones, laptops, and tablets simultaneously. What's more, its GaNPrime™ technology can also help you significantly save energy.


Can a Phone Charger Damage a Laptop?

Worry not! A regular phone charger won't harm your laptop. However, it might not deliver optimal charging performance since phone chargers often lack the necessary voltage and current output required to power laptops efficiently.

 

If you need a charger that works seamlessly for both your laptop and phone, it's wise to invest in a high-quality universal charger, ensuring compatibility and safety for all your devices.
