5. Operating Instructions

The KENUBI 180W charging station automatically detects connected devices and delivers the optimal charging current. It supports simultaneous charging of up to 7 devices.

  • For fastest charging, connect high-power devices like laptops to the USB-C1 (65W) port.
  • When multiple devices are connected, the charger intelligently distributes power. Note that if USB-C1 and USB-C2 are used simultaneously, the maximum output for USB-C2 may adjust to 20W.
  • Plugging in a new device may cause a brief interruption (less than 1 second) in charging for other connected devices as the charger readjusts power distribution. This is normal operation.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your charging station, please refer to the following common solutions:

  • Device not charging:
    • Ensure the charging station is securely plugged into a working power outlet.
    • Check that the charging cable is properly connected to both the device and the charging station.
    • Try a different port on the charging station.
    • Test with a different charging cable or device to isolate the issue.
  • Slow charging:
    • Verify that your device supports fast charging and that you are using a compatible cable.
    • Ensure high-power devices are connected to the higher wattage USB-C ports (e.g., USB-C1 for laptops).
    • If many devices are connected, the total power is shared, which might reduce individual port speeds. Disconnect less critical devices to prioritize others.
  • Charger feels warm:
    • It is normal for the charger to become warm during operation, especially when charging multiple devices at high power.
    • If it becomes excessively hot, disconnect all devices and the power cable, allow it to cool, and ensure it is used in a well-ventilated area.
  • Brief power interruption when plugging in a new device:
    • This is a normal function of the intelligent power distribution system. The charger briefly resets to re-allocate power optimally among all connected devices.

9. Maintenance

  • Keep the charging station clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
  • Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
  • Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use.
