Detonating Power Supply Adapter for USB Type-C dedicated to charging 50% of iPhone XR in 30 minutes 'Anker PowerPort Atom PD 1' review

' Anker PowerPort Atom PD 1 ' compatible with Quick Charge standard

Power Delivery (USB PD) from Anker will appear on February 19, 2019. I was wondering what happens if I charge my smartphone using a power adapter that was born by applying GaN (gallium nitride) used in power devices of satellites to consumer products, so I actually charge the iPhone XR I tried it.

◆ Appearance review
'Anker PowerPort Atom PD 1' is in the package like this.

The contents were cards with the main unit, instruction manual and contact information.

This is the place I took out the body.

On the front of the main unit, there is a character with PD indicating that it supports

USB Power Delivery and a USB port for USB Type-C.

It looks like this from the perspective of the power plug.

If you put “

Anker PowerPort II PD with 1 PD and 1 PIQ 2.0 ” reviewed on the left and compare the size, you can see that the height is about half.

Compare it from the side.

It is about half the size of a traffic IC card.

Looking at the bottom of the body, the output is described as '5V = 3A · 9V = 3A · 15V = 2A · 20V = 1.5A', and it can be seen that it can be charged at a maximum of 30W.

The output of USB Type-C of 'Anker PowerPort II PD with 1 PD and 1 PIQ 2.0' is the same '5 V = 3 A, 9 V = 3 A, 15 V = 2 A, 20 V = 1.5 A', which is so compact The output is the same.

In addition, the output was '5V = 1A' when looking at the power supply adapter that came with the iPhone XR.

The USB cable required for charging is not included, so Apple's '

USB-C-Lightning Cable ' has been prepared. The USB Type-C USB cable can be charged, but in order to be charged quickly with Power Delivery , the USB cable and the device to be charged must support the same standard.

◆ Try to charge
First, connect 'Anker PowerPort Atom PD 1' to a power outlet.

Next, connect the USB Type-C terminal of the cable to the unit.

Finally, connect the other end of the cable to the device you want to charge, such as a smartphone.

When I actually charged the iPhone XR, it was charged from 25% to 75% in just 30 minutes. The following image shows the remaining amount of power being charged with

NKB battery. The remaining battery capacity, which was 25% at 16:56, is 75% at 17:26 after 30 minutes.

It looks like this when graphing with NKBattery. You can see how the graph grows in a straight line up to 75% after charging started with 25% remaining.

When measured using the RouteR · USB Type-C voltage and current checker , the result is approximately 19.5 V * 1.45 A = approximately 28.27 W. Although it did not reach 30W of the maximum output, it means that it could be charged by the electric power close to it.

'Anker PowerPort Atom PD 1' is a power adapter that can charge the iPhone XR at 50% speed in 30 minutes while being compact size about half of the IC card. If this charge is too fast, you can charge quite a while before you go out, even when you say 'I forgot to charge my smartphone when I woke up in the morning' at home. In addition, if you put a pocket with the cable when you go out, when you find the power supply in a coffee shop or Shinkansen seat, it is possible to respond smartly without scooping your luggage. However, since there is only one USB port, only one device can be charged at one time, and the problem is that a cable with a USB Type-C connection is required.

'Anker PowerPort Atom PD 1' can be purchased from Amazon.co.jp from February 19, 2019. The price is 3,499 yen including tax.
