A compact electronics charger designed to deliver fast, adaptable power for phones, tablets and some laptops. Reliable top-ups and travel-friendly folding plug give commuters and frequent travellers extra confidence, UGREEN USB C Charger. Is the 45W GaN II approach the right upgrade for everyday charging?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Charging Speed: PD 45W max output with single-port PPS up to 25W, intelligent distribution for two-port use
  • Best for: People who need a compact, fast charger for phones, tablets and lightweight laptops
  • Not ideal for: Users who require multiple legacy USB-A ports or an included charging cable

Compact GaN II charger with two USB-C ports and 45W maximum output. Thermal Guard monitors temperature continuously for safer charging.


Faster top-ups for phones and tablets – thanks to PD 45W and PPS 25W

Power Delivery 3.0 supports up to 45W output when a single port is loaded, while PPS provides adaptive voltage and current up to 25W for compatible phones. Multiple fast charge protocols including QC and BC 1.2 improve compatibility across device types.

Rapid charging shortens waiting time for everyday devices and keeps larger batteries topped up more quickly. Adaptive PPS means compatible phones receive optimised voltage for efficient charging.

Travel-friendly, compact footprint – with GaN II technology and foldable plug

Gallium nitride (GaN) II components allow higher operating frequency and a stacked circuit design, reducing size compared with older silicon chargers. A foldable plug simplifies packing and lowers the chance of snagging inside a bag.

Small dimensions and a folding plug make the charger simple to carry in a pocket or travel organiser. The reduced thermal footprint helps maintain reliability on the move.

Safe, consistent performance under load – with Thermal Guard and intelligent power distribution

Thermal Guard samples temperature up to 800 times per second to manage heat, while a power dispenser system allocates output between both USB-C ports. The charger supports multiple fast-charge protocols and adjusts behaviour depending on the connected devices.

Frequent temperature checks help prevent overheating during prolonged charging sessions. Smart distribution ensures two devices can be charged simultaneously without unnecessary strain.

✨ The 4 Key Reasons for UGREEN USB C Charger
  1. GaN II technology - Smaller and more efficient than older silicon chargers, runs cooler
  2. Dual USB-C ports - Charge two devices simultaneously with intelligent power distribution
  3. Wide device compatibility - Works with laptops, phones and handheld consoles without fuss
