Operating Instructions
The imokin 100W GaN USB C Charger automatically detects connected devices and delivers optimal power. For best performance, use high-quality charging cables.
Power Distribution:
The charger intelligently distributes its total 100W output across the connected devices. The maximum output from individual ports varies depending on the number and type of devices connected:
- Single USB-C Port (C1, C2, or C3): Can deliver up to 100W, ideal for fast-charging laptops like the MacBook Pro 16-inch.
- Single USB-A Port: Can deliver up to 22.5W.
- Multiple Ports in Use: The 100W total power is dynamically allocated. For example, when charging two MacBook Air laptops simultaneously, the power might be distributed as 65W for one and 30W for the other, or similar intelligent splits based on device requirements.
