The details of this technology

To learn more about this technology, it is necessary to take into account the following points that explain this trend, so that you take full advantage of it and obtain great benefits:

1. 1. The first thing we should know is that fast charging is a type of technology that manages to charge a device battery faster than usual.

• How does fast charge increase speed? Charging occurs in two phases. In the first phase, a higher voltage increases the charging speed. Fast charging chargers take advantage of this phase to increase energy flow. Once the battery has received the majority of its charge (about 80%), the charger will decrease the voltage to prevent overheating or overcharging, ensuring that the device and charger are safe.
• Before adopting high-speed charging, it is necessary to verify that the devices use the same standard of fast charging, the cable must have port C in the connection of the power source and at the other end corresponding to the power supply of the Lighting device (iOS), USBC (Android / iPad Pro / Laptops).

Once you have a charger and cable with the fast charge standard supported by your device, make a note of the maximum charge speed for both. Remember that the charging speed will be the maximum of the device and not that of the charger. For example, if you are using a 27W charger with a smartphone that has a maximum charging speed of 18W, the smartphone will charge at 18W (like the iPhone 11 Pro).

4. Speaking of safety, because these technologies allow your device to charge faster than standard charging speeds, the device and charger can get hot during charging. To ensure you’re always charging safely, use high-quality chargers and cables that have all the relevant certifications.

When fully certified accessories are used, fast charging is as safe as standard charging.

5. 5. It is essential to take into account three elements that must meet the following conditions:
      • • Mobile device. In the case of iPhone, fast charging is possible from model 8 onwards, Android devices must validate that the purchased model accepts fast charging, for devices other than a phone such as tablets or laptops, you should consult the specifications if your device is enabled to receive fast charge.
        • Charging cable. This must be type C at one end, which is the one that allows greater power transmission, at the other end it must be Lightning for Apple users or type C for Android users or users of the latest versions of the iPad Pro.

   6. The charger or power source that must be for 18W phones. This will allow a faster increase in power than a standard charge.

• Fast charge standards. The original and most popular types of fast charging standards are USB Power Delivery (or USB-PD) and Qualcomm Quick Charge. In addition to these, you may be familiar with TurboPower, Adaptive Fast Charging, or SuperCharge. Many of these are based on Qualcomm Quick Charge and have been renamed for marketing purposes. Similarly, Apple uses the USB-PD standard in its devices, so your iPhone will be compatible with all Belkin USB Power Delivery chargers and cables.
