Question Not getting SuperFast Charging 2.0

[hafebim116]

I used UGREEN 45W USB C Charger along with Anker cable 543. Both says it supports SuperFast Charging 2.0 aka 45watt. But im not getting that on my S23 Ultra. Am I reading the specs wrong ? What is going on? Help anyone ?

The requirement for the cable is to support 5Amp. Not sure what the ampère rating for the 543 cable is, but it is not listed in the overview supplied bij Anker regarding 5A support... (https://support.anker.com/s/article/Which-USB-C-to-USB-C-cable-can-support-the-5A-charging-speed)

If cable does not support 5A, superfast charging 2.0 will not happen.

O I see. What cables do you recommend that does have 5A ?

I have a $10 5A cable from a store equivalent to Dollar store... works perfect and 2 meters long. A-brand probably safer . Sorry, cannot give recommendation, just search Amazon or Google.

Does the cable and charger brands have to match ?

No, they don't.

Most of the 100W rated cables should be fine.

They're doing 20Volts x 5 Amps = 100W.

They're doing 20Volts x 5 Amps = 100W.

O i see. The one in the question is 140W. Why wouldn't it be at least 5A ?

You could have bought the 45 watt Samsung for that kind of money. It even comes with the proper cable. Guaranteed to provide you with fast charging 2.0.

With PD3.1 also 48V is possible. 140W will then only require 2.9A...

I would buy Anker's charger ANY day over Samsung's stock charger. (I actually use Anker's GAN charger)

Stock OEM cables are garbage and break easily, plus they're usually SHORT.

Guaranteed work if you know what you're buying.

samsung 45 watt charger include 1.8 meter type c to c cable in the box(5A).
samsung 25 watt charger,no cable in the box.


cable inside S23 Ultra box is 3A cable.

now i use basesus 65 watt gan 5 pro charger to charge my S23 Utra.
there is 100 watt cable type c to c inside the box.

Thats the thing, so many brands CLAIM that it supports SuperFast Charging 2.0, at least 45 watt for chargers and at least 100W charging for cables, but actually tested, its just 25 watt at best. This is frustrating.

I bought the Samsung 45 watt charger when my overpriced Anker GAN died after 7 months use.
PS. the included cable with the Samsung charger is pretty decent.

Using Anker the past 7 years. Still have two of their chargers I bought 5 years ago.

Check the failure rate of stock OEM Samsung chargers vs third party like Anker. lel

So I tested the UGREEN charger (mentioned in question) with a genuine SAMSUNG 5A cable. Still not getting SuperFast Charging 2.0.....what is going on ?!

 

[momo6611]

It could be cable issue. I have a baseus charger 65w and bought a separate baseus 100w cables because I want longer cable. This combo only show super fast charge without 2.0. Surprisingly when I use the short cable that comes along the charger it show 2.0. Sorry for bad English. Hope this help you.

[momo6611]

I have no idea about UGREEN charger. But I just want to clarify that the cable I use comes with baseus charger not the Samsung cable that come in the box. Maybe I will try Samsung cable to see if it provides the 2.0 or not.
