Operating Instructions
The Prolink PTC36501 charger features IntelliSense technology to optimize charging for connected devices. It has two USB-C PD 3.0 PPS ports and one USB Quick Charge 3.0 port.
- Single Device Charging: Connect your device to any available port using a compatible charging cable. The IntelliSense technology will automatically detect your device and deliver the optimal charging speed up to 65W. For best performance with high-power devices like laptops, use one of the USB-C PD ports.
- Multiple Device Charging: You can charge up to three devices simultaneously. The charger intelligently distributes the 65W total output across the connected ports. For optimal charging of specific devices, refer to the 'Power Allocation' section below.
- GaN Technology: This charger utilizes Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology, which allows for a smaller, lighter, and more efficient charger compared to traditional silicon-based chargers. This results in faster charging with less heat generation.
- PPS Technology: The USB-C PD ports support Programmable Power Supply (PPS), enabling super-fast charging for compatible devices such as Samsung Note 10, Galaxy S20, and S21 series.
- Power Delivery (PD): The USB-C ports deliver Power Delivery, allowing for rapid charging of devices like iPhones (e.g., iPhone X/13 from 0-50% within 30 minutes) and compatible laptops.
