Benefits of GaN technology in Newell chargers
GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology in Newell chargers significantly increases energy efficiency. With less energy loss, these chargers are more efficient, meaning that less energy is lost as heat and more goes directly to the device being charged. As a result, users can enjoy faster and more economical charging.
Compact size of GaN chargers
Newell’s GaN chargers are significantly smaller and lighter than their traditional counterparts. GaN technology allows components to be reduced in size, leading to more compact designs. This makes these chargers easy to carry and ideal for use on the move, taking up minimal space in a bag or backpack.
Faster charging
One of the key benefits of GaN technology is the ability to charge devices faster. Newell’s GaN chargers offer high power output, allowing even the most demanding devices to be charged quickly. This allows users to save time and always have their devices ready to go.
NEW PRODUCT: Newell GaN travel adapter 65 W mains charger
The Newell GaN travel adapter 65 W is a versatile charger that connects to outlets around the world. Powering or charging your devices in Australia, the US, the UK and dozens of other locations will no longer require you to invest in adapters. Using innovative GaN technology, the device exceeds the capabilities of traditional silicon chargers. Equipped with an AC outlet, USB-A port and USB-C ports, it offers a maximum power output of 65 watts. It allows you to power or charge multiple devices simultaneously using technologies such as PD 3.0 or QC 4+, among others. The retractable plugs will allow you to keep the dimensions small when transporting. There are also a number of safety features on board, such as protection against overheating, overload, overvoltage and short circuit.
Where will GaN chargers prove their worth?
In everyday use, Newell’s GaN chargers offer unparalleled convenience. Users can quickly charge their devices whether they are at home, at work or on the road. The compact size and high power make these chargers ideal for those with active lifestyles.
Professional photographers often need to rely on equipment that works reliably for long periods of time. GaN Newell’s chargers are ideal for them, as they can quickly charge batteries for cameras, flashes and other photographic accessories. This allows photographers to focus on their work without worrying about running out of batteries.
Travellers too will appreciate the compact size and lightweight nature of GaN Newell chargers. They take up little space in luggage, which is extremely important when travelling. In addition, their high performance allows them to quickly charge mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops, which is crucial on long trips.
Newell’s GaN chargers not only provide fast and efficient charging, but are also more environmentally friendly thanks to less energy loss. In practical terms, this means saving time, money and resources.
NEW PRODUCT: Newell GaN Tech T-power 100 W mains charger
The Newell GaN Tech T-power 100 W is a state-of-the-art mains charger in which silicon components have been replaced by gallium nitride. This makes it smaller, faster and more efficient than previously known devices. The charger is equipped with 2 USB-C ports and 2 USB type A ports. There is also a backlit screen to inform about the parameters of the charging process. The maximum power of the charger is up to 100 watts. This means that you will be able to quickly replenish the power not only in your smartphone or tablet, but also in your laptop. Express charging times are ensured by the Power Delivery and Qualcomm Quick Charge technologies. The device also features a number of safety features to protect against overheating, overcharging or overloading, among other things.
Technical aspects of GaN chargers
Newell’s GaN chargers feature an advanced circuit architecture that exploits the properties of gallium nitride (GaN) to enhance performance. GaN allows faster switching of transistors, which minimises energy loss and reduces heat generation. This allows for more compact and efficient devices.
Materials used in production
Gallium nitride (GaN) is a semiconductor material that replaces the traditionally used silicon in charger components. GaN has a higher conductivity and can operate at higher temperatures and voltages, making it ideal for modern charger applications. GaN makes Newell chargers more durable and reliable.
User tips for GaN chargers
To get the most out of Newell’s GaN chargers, it’s worth bearing in mind a few practical tips:
- Use high quality cables – choose cables that are designed for fast charging and compatible with GaN technology. Low-quality cables can limit charging speeds and cause devices to overheat.
- Avoid extreme temperatures – try to charge your devices at moderate temperatures. Extreme conditions, such as very high or low temperatures, can negatively affect charger performance and battery life.
- Keep the charging ports clean – regularly check and clean the charging ports to ensure good electrical contact and avoid charging problems. Dust and dirt can reduce charging efficiency.
- Monitor the condition of your cables – regularly check your charging cables for damage. Scuffed, bent or damaged cables can not only slow down charging but also pose a safety risk.
