- Slow charging:
- Ensure you are using a fast-charging compatible cable for your device.
- Check if your device supports fast charging protocols (PD, QC).
- If multiple high-power devices are connected, the total power is distributed, which might reduce the individual charging speed for some devices.
- Close background applications on your device to reduce power consumption during charging.
- Charging station feels warm:
- It is normal for the charging station to generate some heat during operation, especially when charging multiple devices at high power.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the device. If it becomes excessively hot, disconnect it from power and allow it to cool down.
