What charging protocols do these sockets support?

The 22W & 45W sockets support both PD (USB Power Delivery) & QC (Qualcomm Quick Charge) for compatibility with the most popular brands*, whilst maintaining backwards compatibility for older devices that do not support PD or QC, but at lower, standard USB charging rate.

*PD (Apple, Google) & QC (Samsung, Snapdragon)

Will a 45W socket charge faster than a 22W socket?

A 45W charger typically charges faster than a 22W charger, however charging speeds will vary depending on the device and charging conditions, some factors to consider:

  • Device capability: If the device supports fast charging of 45W or above, you will see faster charging than with a 22W socket. If the device can only accept 22W, then charging speed for your device will be the same. 

  • Cable quality and type: The charging cable must support higher wattage for fast charging. 

  • Battery management software: As the battery gets closer to full capacity, the device's software controls may slow down the charging speed to prevent damage, affecting the perceived charging speed difference between a 45W and a 22W charger.

Are all USB-C cables the same?

No, not all USB-C cables are the same. It's essential to invest in high-quality cables to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.

Can I use a USB-C to charge my laptop and tablet?

The latest BG 45W USB-C Wall Socket is perfect for laptops, whilst the 22W USB-C Wall Socket is ideal for charging tablets and phones.

What is the difference between Variable Voltage and Fixed Voltage?

Variable Voltage sockets use built-in smart charging technology to communicate with the individual device, to only deliver the power a device needs, when it needs it. Meaning devices can charge from 0-50% or more, in as little as 30 minutes.

Variable Voltage follows three stages of charging:

  • Stage 1: Where fast charging occurs – 50% in 30 minutes.
  • Stage 2: The output slows as the battery nears full to protect battery health.
  • Stage 3: Once the battery is fully charged a small charge will be offered periodically as a ‘top up’, whilst pushing the maximum output to the other USB Port.

This protects and prolongs battery life, by never overcharging connected devices.

Our 45W & 22W USB Sockets are Variable Voltage.
