5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your boAt 100W GaN Charger, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Power Output:
- Ensure the charger is securely plugged into a working wall outlet.
- Try a different wall outlet to rule out power source issues.
- Check if the charging cable is properly connected to both the charger and your device. Try a different cable.
- Slow Charging:
- Verify that your device and charging cable support fast charging protocols (PD, PPS, QC 3.0).
- Ensure you are using a port that provides sufficient wattage for your device (refer to Operating Instructions for port power distribution).
- Charging multiple devices simultaneously may distribute power, potentially reducing individual port speeds.
- Overheating:
- While the GaN technology helps manage heat, prolonged high-power usage can cause warmth. If the charger becomes excessively hot, disconnect it immediately.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the charger. Do not cover it while in use.
- The charger includes 12-Layer Smart IC Protection to prevent overheating and over-discharge. If persistent overheating occurs, discontinue use and contact support.
- Intermittent Charging:
- This can be caused by loose connections. Re-seat all cables and ensure they are firmly connected.
- Try a different charging cable or port.
- If the issue persists, it may indicate a fault with the charger or the device being charged.
