6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Common Issues and Solutions
- Q: Why do all ports shut down and restart for a moment when I plug in a new device?
- A: This is normal behavior. When a new device is connected, the charger's intelligent chip re-shunts and readjusts the power distribution to all active ports to optimize charging efficiency. This brief interruption ensures safe and efficient power delivery.
- Q: Why does the wattage displayed constantly change during charging?
- A: The charging process is dynamic. The wattage displayed reflects the real-time power draw, which is determined by the connected device's battery state and charging optimization algorithms. Fluctuations are normal.
- Q: Why isn't the wattage displayed when charging, or why does it show 0W?
- A: If the power draw is very low (e.g., between 0-5W), the display might show 0W for values less than 1W. This does not mean no power is being delivered, but rather that the power is below the display's minimum threshold for showing a non-zero value.
- Q: Why does the 140W charger seem to charge slower sometimes?
- A: This is normal for all chargers. Device manufacturers implement charging speed limits to protect battery health, especially when the battery level exceeds 80%. The fastest charging typically occurs when the device's battery is below 50%.
- Q: My Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, or Samsung mobile phone's charging power is not as high as expected.
- A: Due to specific Android phone charging protocols, this charger supports Huawei's maximum 22.5W Super Fast Charge, Xiaomi's maximum 27W, Oppo/Vivo's maximum 20W, and Samsung's 45W. Ensure your laptop supports the PD protocol if you expect high-speed charging for it, as some laptops do not.
- Q: Does the 140W charger get excessively hot?
- A: It is normal for chargers to generate some heat during operation due to energy transfer from AC to DC. The charger's shell is made from 750°C fireproof PC material, and it includes a temperature control IC chip that automatically cools down if the temperature exceeds 70°C, ensuring safe operation.
- Q: Why is the displayed power low when charging?
- A: The charger intelligently adjusts and allocates the optimal charging power based on the connected device's battery level. When a device's power is higher, the allocated charging power will be lower to protect the battery. Conversely, a lower battery level will result in higher allocated charging power. The charger supports up to PD 100W and PPS 45W fast charge.
