Creative position statement: gallium nitride charger has evolved again. Let’s talk about the topical Anker super charging recently. The actual test sharing is a clear statement of advantages and disadvantages.

On May 25, Anker held its first domestic press conference. As an old user who has been using Anker since overseas shopping, frankly speaking, there are quite a lot of surprises at the press conference. In terms of

products, a new One Piece joint series has been released. Anker has been playing IP collaboration in recent years, and it still works very well at present. The charging accessories products have been transformed from the professional user market to the novice-oriented public.

20W Nano is a celebrity product in the current Anker product line, and IP collaboration is naturally the first to bear the brunt. There are two models in total, including Chopper and Luffy models.

Chopper and Luffy's 10000 mAh mobile power , Zorro's magnetic wireless mobile power . In addition, the 2C1A of Ace's 65W model was released, but this Yajingyuan solution is not as powerful as other co-branded models.

As the highlight of this press conference, Anker released the new gallium nitride super charging series. The power covers 30W, 45W, and 65W, which meets the coverage of electronic devices from small to large.

The reason why I used "The True Chapter to End" as the title of this article is that after 20W Nano, the gallium nitride super charging series finally gave me a bright feeling again.

has a brand new ID design, the latest PI chip, internal design reconstruction, and uses three-board stacking power technology, etc. The most intuitive change of

is that it is smaller in size and better heat dissipation, which has always been the two major pain points of 65W high-power PD chargers.

This article will mainly talk about this, the gallium nitride super charging series that I am interested in.

Appearance and design

This new gallium nitride super charging series has been replaced with a new ID design style. Deep space gray + black, the entire color matching will have a very textured texture.

is 30W, 45W and 65W in turn from left to right. All three models use gallium nitride technology, so the volume is well controlled. I have done a lot of related horizontal reviews and tests for the charger with

GaN technology, so I won't go into details here. Simply put, it is the application of GaN gallium nitride technology, which can achieve the implementation of high-power and small-volume products.

The GaN super charging series of this generation of Anker has been upgraded to the latest PI chip, which can increase the frequency to 2 times. At the same time, source clamp Flyback (Active Clamp Flyback), referred to as ACF circuit, is added. This is a set of topology circuits that can implement soft switch , which can realize zero voltage on or zero current off. To be honest, it is to reduce energy loss, and reuse the leakage inductance energy, so as to improve the overall energy utilization rate and reduce heating. Therefore, this gallium nitride supercharger series will have better temperature control than similar products, and will be put on test later.

front-end deep space gray decorative panel, the overall look looks very recognizable.

Look at the details, the surface is sandblasted evenly, and there are no particle burrs. The blue inner tongue is topped with Anker's unique PowerIQ technology logo.

Currently, PIQ has developed to the third generation and can support compatible with PD, QC, PPS and other fast charging protocols, which means that there are more electronic devices that can be adapted to.

I like the style this time. Compared with the 20W Nano, the overall texture has been greatly improved. What is more prominent in 20W is the ultimate compactness, and the new gallium nitride supercharging series enhances the texture while being compact.

is the power identifier on the side, and 30W, 45W, and 65W can meet the daily power supply needs of most people. The surface is made of some special coating, so it won’t be so easy to get fingerprinted.

Except for 30W, the pins cannot be folded due to their small size, the other two models have folding pins. I think the ID design of the

GaN super charging series is the most beautiful one among all Anker's product lines at present. More refined and more design-oriented.

Compared with the previous generations of designs, the ID of this generation has changed a lot.The contrasting colors of black and gray can better highlight the positioning of performance and texture.

Just look for some other brands of chargers to compare, and you can clearly see that the Anker GaN super charging series is the most special.

Performance parameters

See the specific parameters, the three supported PD levels are as follows. It is worth noting that the three models of 30W, 45W and 65W all support 3A PPS. There will be better compatibility for some Android private protocols designed based on PPS.

But let me mention it here, because I got the US version, and the support voltage is 100-240V. The official domestic version is available for sale, with a voltage range of 200-240V. I asked, the general reason is that it is mainly considered from a security perspective. In view of the characteristics of the domestic market power grid, different regions have great fluctuations and unstable fluctuations. So special treatment was made, not to shrink the domestic market.

Full load and fever test

test conditions are full load, run for 20 minutes. You can see the current and voltage curves of the three models, which are very stable at full power without any abnormal fluctuations.

30W

45W

65W

room temperature 26 degrees, and the heating data measured by thermal imager is as follows.

30W hottest position is 57.1°C, 45W hottest position is 56.8°C, and 65W hottest position is 54.6°C. None of the three models has exceeded 60°C.

is currently switching from IEC60950 to IEC62368 according to the most stringent IEC safety standards in the world. Other 65W standards on the market use IEC60950, with a maximum temperature of 95°C. This time, Anker stipulates that the maximum temperature standard is 77 degrees. The temperature control results of the three models

have greatly exceeded my expectations. The smaller the volume and higher the power density, the greater the heat will be. This is the physical common sense that everyone knows.

However, the heating performance of Anker's generation of gallium nitride supercharger is obviously better than that of many similar products. The picture below is the 20W/30W horizontal evaluation and heating test I did the previous paragraph. The 30W temperature control score of GaN Super Charging is 57.1°C, which is comparable to the old folding 30W.

However, the volume of the gallium nitride supercharged series is much smaller than that of folding 30W, so this temperature control result is still commendable.

65W Gallium Nitride Super Charging

three products are briefly discussed, let’s focus on my favorite 65W model.

In addition to the good-looking ID and excellent temperature control mentioned above, the volume is also the biggest highlight of 65W. Compare with the Xiaomi old model 65W and Apple 61W on the right, and you can see that it is much smaller. Compared with the

, the old Anker model 65W, Lenovo lipstick 65W, and the 2C1A 65W, it also has obvious volume advantages. Television fans are also Yajingyuan's solution, and it should be the same as the Ace co-branded model.

Take out the 65W on the hand and compare it horizontally. Anker GaN Super Charging 65W is obviously much smaller. The shape of the cube greatly weakens the length and becomes smaller and more round.

Anker, this super power charger, should be one of the smallest 65W folding chargers on the market, and is not the same as these common 65W.

vernier caliper measured, Anker GaN Super Charging 65W measurement dimensions are 35.98mm*41.66mm*44.26mm, volume is 66.3cm³, and power density reaches 0.98W/cm³.

and the above chargers made a power density comparison. The larger the value, the smaller the volume. It can be seen intuitively that Anker GaN supercharger has a very obvious volume advantage in these 65W specification chargers.

protocol test, supports Apple 2.4A, DCP-1.5A, QC3.0/2.0.

PD 5V/9V/15V/20V gears are all successfully triggered, supporting 3A PPS.

is connected to MacBook Pro M1, successfully shakes the 20V protocol with a power of 56.6W.

is connected to iPad Pro, and the PD protocol is successfully shaken, and the power can reach 35W.

is connected to iPhone 12 Pro Max, and successfully shakes the PD protocol with a power of 23.5W.

is connected to Xiaomi Mix Fold, which can also reach 26.5W, which is good for Android compatibility.

connects to AirPods Pro, AirPods, Beats Pro and other headphones. There is no problem in charging low-power devices, and Power IQ is correctly identified.

is connected to MagSafe Duo, and it can also reach 17.1W of power.

65W power can be adapted to cover charging from laptops, tablets, mobile phones to small devices. Currently, thin and light laptops are basically this power level.

Due to its super small size, my commonly used charger has also been replaced by this, and I will bring it with me on business trips recently.

Shenzhen Sheraton socket is extremely bad. I have never seen such a bad socket in the Marriott series, and even a slightly larger charger cannot be mounted. Anker GaN Super Charging 65W has been reduced in size a lot, so even this very bad socket can be used stably, which is also an advantage brought by ultra-small size.

Today I switched to Beijing JW, and the problem of sockets no longer exists. The gallium nitride supercharger series design is quite pleasing to the eye whether it is traveling or business trips.

Charge the laptop while working during the day.

Sleep at night and can be connected to MagSafe Duo, which can also achieve maximum charging efficiency.

65W 2C Super Power Charging

Finally, let’s talk about the 65W 2C Super Power Charging that is rarely mentioned on the Internet. This time it was not launched at the same time. I asked about it and it will be launched in the near future. Compared with the 65W of a single C port, the 65W of a single C 65W is a cube block design, while the double C is a conventional longitudinal design. In comparison, the 65W single-port supercharged volume is even more amazing.

Look at the parameters.

C1/C2 supports blind plugging 65W, and both support Power IQ3 adaptation protocol.

output protocol: 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 15V/3A, 20V/3.25A, both ports have 3.25A PPS.

dual ports are loaded simultaneously, the power mode is 45W+20W and 65W Max.

summary

In general, Anker has brought out real and good technology this time to make this gallium nitride super charging series. Before, I also thought Anker was always playing co-branding and changing shells, but this time it was a good thing that "finally saw the truth".

's brand new ID design is very recognizable among a number of chargers. The latest gallium nitride chip has been added to the ACF circuit, which has achieved further volume reduction and excellent temperature control, and is very competitive in the same type of products.

, especially my favorite 65W, which is also the most outstanding model this time, with a very amazing volume control. In recent days, I have been chatting with friends in the industry and everyone is very sure of this 65W ultra-small size.

30W, 45W, and 65W all have their own usage scenarios.

If you have charging needs for mobile phones, iPads, etc., then 30W is undoubtedly the most suitable.

If you want to take into account the charging of your laptop and the power consumption of the notebook is very low, then 45W is actually very suitable, such as M1, after all, the volume is smaller than 65W.

65W is a universal gear, and it covers all the laptops, mobile phones and tablets from top to bottom.

As for the shortcomings, the first thing is that compared with the European version, the national bank adopts non-wide voltage specifications. If domestic users go abroad, it will be inconvenient. Of course, considering the current epidemic, this demand point is not strong. As mentioned earlier, the reason is that Anker has made special treatment for domestic security, which is not considered a domestic shrinkage. After all, the wide voltage cost is diluted to single products.

and then 65W are amazing, but the 30W volume still has room for further reduction. If it is another brand, the 30W volume is already very satisfactory. But after all, it is produced by Anker, a leading company at home and abroad. I still have very high expectations, so naturally I will have higher requirements for it.

Anker returns to the domestic market to make efforts. Whether it is joint branding or new promotion, it has been very popular recently. Anker's current strategy is to focus on research and development while vigorously conducting joint customization. When the product strength is strong enough, these joint customizations will become a good plus point.Currently, Anker's new products are not expensive, and their size and sales are gradually getting far away from most of the previous competitors.

At present, this trick is still very effective. After all, there are not many professional users in the market in the market, so it is a good direction to fight against the masses that are novice and towards the public.

Just look for some other brands of chargers to compare, and you can clearly see that the Anker GaN super charging series is the most special.
