UGREEN Nexode 45W USB‑C charger with dual PD ports

This compact GaN USB C charger delivers fast charging for phones, tablets and some laptops while taking up little space on a desk or in a bag. With a maximum PD output of 45W it is suitable for topping up an iPhone or powering an iPad and still allows a second device to charge at the same time, which helps when you need to carry fewer chargers.

Key Points

The charger uses the updated GaN II architecture to reduce size and heat, making it noticeably smaller than many traditional brick adapters. It includes two USB-C ports with intelligent power distribution so two devices can receive fast charging simultaneously. According to the manufacturer, a MacBook Pro 13-inch can reach a full charge in around 136 minutes using the single 45W output, a useful figure when you want quicker laptop top-ups. 🔌

This model is compatible with a wide range of devices, from the latest iPhone and Galaxy handsets to tablets and handheld consoles, and it supports multiple fast-charge protocols including PD 3.0 and PPS for adaptable charging behaviour. Do note that the package does not include a cable, so a USB-C PD-compatible cable is required to achieve the rated speeds. ⚡

Usage Recommendations

For best results use a quality USB-C PD cable rated for the appropriate wattage. Charge an iPhone or smaller device together with earbuds or a tablet while travelling, as the intelligent power distribution balances output between ports. If you plan to charge a larger laptop model frequently, check the laptop's recommended wattage, because although 45W suits many light notebooks it may not match higher-powered chargers for heavier workloads. 🎒

Consider the charger for minimalists who value compact gear and for anyone who needs a reliable secondary charger at home or on the move. The Thermal Guard feature measures temperature many times per second according to the manufacturer, which helps maintain safe operation during long sessions.
