Chargeasap's
new Zeus 280W USB-C GaN portable charging adapter is one of the most
powerful and versatile types, with unique features. The
3.5-by-2.16-by-1.73-inch charger is marketed as the world's first and
smallest 280-watt wall charger. The Zeus charger harnesses the power of
Navitas GaNFast NV6127 Power IC technology, with four of these
industry-leading chips in each unit.
With that much power, it can do the job of four individual chargers. On one side of the charge are foldable AC prongs; find a standard AC wall outlet and plug it in. On the other side is an OLED screen, one of the features that makes this charger unique. It displays real-time information, including what ports are used for charging and the amount of amps and volts. Under the display are four charging ports: 3 USB-C and a USB-A for your charging cables.
The USB-C1 and USB-C2 ports have a maximum output of 140 watts each, the USB-C3 port has up to 100 watts, and the single USB-A has up to 65 watts. The Zeus 280W USB-C GaN charger can charge two USB-C ports, delivering up to 140W each.
With GaN charging technology, there are many safety features, including overcurrent, overvoltage, overtemperature, short-circuit protection and proper power distribution. The Chargeasap site and the user manual, which is included with the adapter, include a power distribution chart for using the ports in different combinations.
In general, charging and devices have many variables, with the most important being that you have to give the device what it needs to charge. Just because it's a laptop doesn't mean it charges the same as any other laptop.
Simultaneously, I had my 13-inch MacBook Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPad Pro 11-inch and my wife's iPhone SE charging. Just for kicks, I added a dual USB-A cable with an Apple Watch and Apple Lightning ports (on the same cable), and it actually charged five devices at once. I will add that this is not recommended; Chargeasap states the maximum is four devices.
Its laptop-first power distribution prioritizes C1 and C2 ports at 140W, guaranteeing your laptop is charged at maximum speed.
With the fold-out charging tip, the charger is designed for domestic use but is also set up for global travel. According to the company site, the Zeus 280W charger includes three interchangeable travel adapters (EU, AU, UK) for use in more than 190 countries worldwide. Each foreign adapter slides onto the built-in AC prongs and locks in place.
Chargeasap noted in a recent press release that they are currently working on producing an additional adapter that should be for sale within the next two months. This adapter will let the Zeus charger be connected via a C7 cable instead of being plugged directly into the wall socket.
