9. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your XCOOL 100W USB-C Charger, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Slow charging: Verify that your cable supports fast charging and that your device is capable of receiving higher wattage. When charging multiple devices, the power output per port is dynamically allocated, which may result in slower charging for individual devices compared to single-port charging.
• Overheating: While the charger is designed to manage heat, excessive heat can occur under heavy load or in poor ventilation. Ensure the charger is in a well-ventilated area. If overheating persists, discontinue use and contact customer support.
