The Transition to GaN

The shift to GaN (gallium nitride) has changed the way external power adapters are designed: less heat dissipation, reduced sizes, and higher power at the same dimensions.

Techly builds on this foundation a range of four USB-C power adapters with Power Delivery 3.0, each calibrated for a specific use. It ranges from the ultra-compact travel charger to the four-port desktop solution capable of reaching nearly 100W in total.

The Compact Travel Charger

The GaN USB-C Wall Charger 65W (IPW-USB-G65C1) focuses entirely on size. Measuring 36 x 36 x 74 mm, including the AC pins, and weighing just 81 grams, it makes it one of the smallest chargers in the range, designed to stay in your pocket or laptop case without weighing down your backpack.

The single USB-C port delivers up to 65W of power, with a scalable output profile: 15W at 5V, up to 45W at 15V, and a peak of 65W at 20V/3.25A. Support for PD3.0, PPS, FCP, AFC, and BC1.2 extends compatibility beyond the pure USB-C ecosystem, also covering some Android smartphone models with proprietary fast charging protocols.

The stated input voltage is 180-240V AC at 50/60 Hz, with a maximum draw of 1.5A. Overcurrent, overvoltage, overheating, and short circuit protections are an expected standard in this product range, but remain a necessary requirement when compressing so much electronics into a 36 mm square case.

The Notebook Desk Station

The USB-C Power Delivery PD 3.0 65W Adapter for Smartphones and Laptops (IPW-PD65W-BKD) changes the approach: it’s not designed for travel, but for remaining fixed on the desk as a secondary or replacement power adapter for the laptop. The dimensions increase to 46 x 107 x 32 mm, and the integrated 1.2-meter USB-C cable eliminates the need to carry a separate cable.

The maximum power remains at 65W, with output current up to 3250 mA and the same voltage scales as the travel version (15W, 27W, 36W, 45W, up to 65W at 20V). It also comes with a 1.2-meter AC power cable with Schuko to IEC 320 C5 plug, in addition to the user manual.

The stated standby consumption is below 0.1W, a figure that weighs on a product designed to stay plugged in permanently. Overload, overvoltage, short circuit, and overheating protections complete a technical sheet oriented towards continuity of use rather than portability.

The Pocket Version of the Same Power

The USB-C Power Delivery PD 3.0 65W Adapter for Smartphones and Laptops (IPW-PD65W-BK) shares with the BKD model the power of 65W and the maximum current of 3250 mA but reverses the design priority: here, portability counts. The body of 73 x 73 x 29 mm eliminates the separate power cable and directly integrates a 1.8-meter USB-C charging cable with a 2-pole EU plug.

The output voltages replicate those of the other 65W models in the range, from the initial 15W up to the peak of 65W at 20V. Again, the standby consumption remains below 0.1W, while the overload, overvoltage, short circuit, and overheating protections are identical to the desk variant.

The practical difference between the two PD65W models lies entirely in the intended use: fixed at the socket with a separate cable for the BKD variant, or ready for use anywhere thanks to the integrated cable for the BK. Those changing workstations frequently will find the second offers a more compact footprint to slip in a bag alongside the laptop.

Four Ports and 100W for the Entire Desk

Finally, the 100W Wall Charger with 2 USB-C Ports and 2 USB-A Ports for Smartphones or Tablets (IPW-PD100W-2A2CW) caps the range upwards, both in power and number of ports. The wall body measuring 35.3 x 68.5 x 99.3 mm and weighing 237.6 grams houses two USB-C ports and two USB-A, designed to cover smartphones, tablets, power banks, and laptops from the same power adapter.

USB-C1 alone reaches up to 100W (20V/5A), with extended PPS support (55W and 63W in the two modes). USB-C2 caps at 20W, while the two USB-A ports deliver up to 18W each. When using multiple ports together, the total power is redistributed: USB-C1 plus USB-C2 reaches a total of 85W, USB-C1 plus one USB-A port reaches 83W, up to a total of 80W for the combination of four active ports.

On the safety front, the model supports the same protections as the range: overcurrent, overvoltage, overheating, and short circuit, a requirement that weighs more on a charger tasked with managing four devices charging simultaneously.

Which to Choose Based on Use

The logic of the Techly range emerges from a direct comparison among the four models. IPW-USB-G65C1 remains the most natural choice for travelers looking for the smallest possible footprint while maintaining power. The two IPW-PD65W, identical in technical specifications but opposite in form factor, cover the fixed workstation (BKD, with separate AC cable) and the portable use with integrated cable (BK).

IPW-PD100W-2A2CW remains the option for those who need to manage multiple devices from the same outlet, from the laptop to the smartphone to the tablet, without multiplying chargers on the nightstand or desk. The presence of four ports, with dynamic power management between USB-C and USB-A, makes it the only model in the range designed for shared use rather than personal.
