A compact USB-C mains charger designed to deliver fast top-ups for phones, tablets and small laptops. Peace of mind when travelling comes from rapid charging and built-in protections with UGREEN 30W USB C Charger. Is a small GaN charger the better daily companion than an old bulky adapter?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Charging Power: 30W maximum output suitable for phones, tablets and some 13-inch laptops
  • Best for: Frequent travellers and commuters who need compact fast charging
  • Not ideal for: Users requiring multiple simultaneous ports for several devices

GaN II technology reduces size while increasing operating frequency and efficiency. PD 3.0 and other fast-charge protocols ensure quick top-ups for a wide range of devices.


Faster Top-Ups - with 30W PD 3.0 and QC support

Power delivery through a single USB-C port supports PD 3.0/2.0 and Quick Charge variants, plus PPS and BC 1.2, allowing higher voltage and current negotiation with compatible devices. GaN II efficiency keeps heat lower while maintaining the 30W output.

Noticeably quicker charge times for phones and tablets when paired with compatible cables and devices. Useful for getting a meaningful battery boost during short journeys or tight schedules.

Pocket-Friendly Design - thanks to GaN II compact engineering

Gallium nitride second-generation components allow a stacked circuit board and smaller transformer design, increasing operating frequency and reducing physical volume by design. The plug folds into the body for a neater travel footprint.

Easy to slip into a backpack or jacket pocket without sacrificing power, ideal for people who carry minimal kit. Folding plug reduces snagging and makes storage tidier on the move.

Wide Compatibility and Safety - with multiple charge protocols and protections

Supports a broad set of fast-charge standards and includes multi-protection circuitry against over-voltage, overheating and short circuit. Compatibility list explicitly cites recent iPhone, iPad, MacBook 13-inch, Galaxy and Pixel models along with the Switch.

A single charger can service phones, tablets, earbuds and a 13-inch MacBook Air, reducing the need for several chargers. Built-in protections make it suitable for daily use with mixed device fleets.
