Accessories New Anker 313 Ace charger with 45W Superfast 2.0 Samsung PD/PPS support

[drjoe1]

There was an older thread that discussed the fact that there were no PD chargers available that supported Samsung's 10V @ 4.5A PPS implementation for superfast charge 2.0

100w same as 25w?

hi with my ultra i got a free 25w samsung charger i bought a 100w ugreen charger : ingle-Port USB-C1/C2：5V/3A 9V/3A 12V/3A 15V/3A 20V/5A 100W Max USB-C3： 5V/3A 9V/2.5A 12V/1.88A 22.5W Max USB-A： 4.5V/5A 5V/4.5A 5V/3A 9V/2A...

Even 100W PD chargers throttled back to 3A at 10V - if they supported PPS. If not they dropped to 3A at 9V. Samsung's brick was the only one out there with full 45W Superfast 2.0 charge support.

Now we have a new contender! The Anker 313 Ace claims full 45W Superfast 2.0!

It is available for $30 on the Anker site, I didn't quickly see other links.

edit: now also on Amazon

Amazon.com

Specs from Amazon listing:

Input: 100 - 240V
Output: PD: 5.0V=3.0A / 9.0V=3.0A / 15.0V-3.0A / 20.0V=2.25A (45W Max);
PPS: 3.3V-11V=5A / 3.3V-16V=3A / 3.3V-21V=2.25A (45W Max)

Has anyone tried this yet?

I'm returning to Texas Thursday from an international business trip; will order one when I get back.

Thanks,

Joe

I purchased it and have been playing with it.

1) It is small. Fit in the palm of you hand small. Easy slip into a pocket while travelling small. Similar form factor to the old Samsung lightning chargers -- they are rectangular while it is square, but similar volume.

2) I don't see that it is faster than my existing 65W PD/PPS. Both give a max of 7.2A @ 4.1V -- but it could be cable limited. I have three supposed 100W / 5A cables. If you add 1A for the discharging load (Ampere reports 1A is discharging when unplugged), it's providing ~ 34W. But that's using Ampere which tells me what the state of the battery is, not what the actual current/voltage from the power supply is.

Overall, I'm a little real-life disappointed that I don't seem to be seeing 45W charging, but think it is worth the $30. If you have 30 min between flights, it can definitely top off an empty tablet battery.

Take care,

Joe
