6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Charging Your Devices
- Single Port Charging: Connect your device to either USB-C1 or USB-C2 for up to 100W max output. For USB-A, the maximum output is 33W.
- Multi-Port Charging: The charger intelligently distributes power when multiple devices are connected. For example, with two USB-C devices, power might be distributed as 70W + 30W. With three devices (two USB-C, one USB-A), typical distribution could be 80W (USB-C1) + 12W (USB-C2) + 7.5W (USB-A). USB-C1 is prioritized for maximum output during three-port charging.
- Low-Current Mode: USB-C2 or USB-A ports automatically switch to 95W + 5W Low-Current Mode if the output remains at or below 5W for 1 minute. This safely charges low-power devices like earbuds.
