FAQs
Does it support Qualcomm Quick Charge?
No, this charger does not support Qualcomm Quick Charge (QC 2.0 or later). It uses Anker’s proprietary PowerIQ and VoltageBoost technology to deliver optimized fast charging up to 2.4A per port for a wide range of devices, but it won’t trigger Quick Charge speeds on compatible Android phones.
How many devices can I charge at the same time, and what are the speeds?
You can charge two devices simultaneously via its dual USB-A ports. It provides a combined total output of 24W (4.8A max). When charging one device, it can deliver up to 2.4A (12W); when both ports are in use, the power is shared intelligently (often 2.4A + 2.4A or adjusted based on device needs), making it capable of charging two phones or even two iPads at good speeds.
Will it damage my phone’s battery, or is it safe?
It’s designed with Anker’s MultiProtect safety system, which includes surge protection, temperature control, short-circuit prevention, over-current/over-voltage safeguards, and more to ensure safe charging. When used properly with quality cables, it won’t harm your phone’s battery—modern devices have built-in protections, and this charger avoids overcharging or excessive heat.
