This chart illustrates the power distribution for single and dual port charging scenarios.

Power Output Reference
Charging ModePort C1Port C2Total Output
Single Port (C1)45WN/A45W Max
Single Port (C2)N/A45W45W Max
Two Ports (C1 + C2)Optimally distributed by Nova Intelligence45W Max (e.g., 20W+20W, 30W+15W, 15W+30W)

Note: When charging two devices simultaneously, Nova Intelligence automatically distributes optimal power within the total maximum of 45W, depending on the connected devices. Depending on device compatibility, the maximum power may not be reached. PD charging for PCs requires different voltage and power levels depending on the manufacturer. If PC charging is unstable when using multiple ports, please charge the device using a single port.

6. Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Disconnect the charger from the power outlet and all devices before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
