Charging Performance:
Charging power is great with his Hyphen-X charger, as it has a 100W maximum output from a single port or have it shared between multiple ports. There are two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports on the charger. USB-C 1 and USB-C 2 are the most powerful ports, with USB-C 1 taking priority of power allocation. You can charge a single device via USB-C 1; with a 100W output, you can charge most USB-C devices, and that includes laptops, tablets, and smartphones. You won’t damage your phone by charging it from a 100W USB-C port as the device automatically accepts a certain amount of charging power.
Charging from USB-C 1 and USB-C 2 simultaneously gives you a 65W output from USB-C 1 and a 30W output from USB-C 2. It lets you charge a laptop and simultaneously fast charge a phone or tablet.
Charging four devices simultaneously gives you a 45W output from USB-C 1, 30W from USB-C 2, and the two USB-A ports share a 7.5W output. We charged a Lenovo IdeaPad Flex from USB-C 1, a Samsung Galaxy S22 from USB-C, and an LG G7 from USB-A port.
The Lenovo laptop was charges near its max speed of about 30W, even though the charger that comes with the laptop is a 65W charger but charging stats are the same with a 45W port; the Galaxy S22 was able to super fast charge at 25W via USB-C because USB-C and USB-C feature Programmable Power Supply (PPS) charging. USB-A Port1 has an 18W output when charging three devices, so it could fast charge the LG G7.
