What is USB Power Delivery?

USB Power Delivery (PD) is a universal fast charging standard that works through the USB-C port. It allows you to charge a smartphone, tablet, and laptop with a single charger. The latest versions of PD support up to 240 W of power, which is enough even for monitors and gaming computers.

Key benefits

⚡ Fast charging – significantly reduces the time it takes to fully charge a device

🔌 Versatility – one USB-C charger for multiple devices

🧳 Travel convenience – fewer cables and adapters

🔒 Safety – intelligent voltage and current control prevents overheating

How does Power Delivery work?

When you connect a USB-C cable, the device and the charger negotiate the optimal voltage and current.

Voltage levels: 5V, 9V, 15V, 20V, up to 48V

Current: up to 5A

Maximum power: up to 240W

This means that the USB-C PD charger can adapt to a variety of devices – from a phone to a powerful laptop.

What to consider when choosing a PD charger?

Check if your device supports USB-C Power Delivery

If you need power above 60W, choose a certified EPR cable with an E-Marker chip

Avoid cheap, uncertified cables – they can limit charging speed or pose risks

Choose GaN technology chargers, which are more compact and efficient
