Chargeasap, the Australian consumer electronics startup specializing in smartphone charging accessories, has launched a revolutionary new product.

Chargeasap launches the world’s first & smallest 280W charger

Founded in 2016, Chargeasap makes chargers, power cables, and other charging accessories for various electronic products, including smartphones and laptops. The firm’s newest offering is a GaN (gallium nitride) charger capable of delivering a power output of up to 280W. It features three USB-C ports, two of which can simultaneously charge your devices at 140W. The third USB-C port delivers 100W of maximum power.

Additionally, you get a USB-A port rated to charge compatible devices at up to 65W. These ports should be enough to simultaneously juice up your smartphone, laptop, tablet, and other devices. Chargeasap says it has equipped the charger with a laptop-first power distribution system, ensuring that the C1 port will always be prioritized at 140W to ensure uninterrupted fast charging for your PC.

Chargeasap’s Zeus 280W USB-C GaN Charger also features an OLED screen that provides a real-time display of charging volts and amps. The firm has included over-current, over-voltage, over-temperature, and short-circuit protection technologies. Despite all these technologies and power, the product only measures 89 x 59 x 44mm (3.5 x 2.16 x 1.73 inches) in dimension, making it the world’s smallest 280W charger.

At 380 grams (0.83 pounds), it is also relatively lightweight. According to Chargeasap, the charger features the Navitas GaNFast NV6127 Power IC technology. The product has “four of these industry-leading chips,” allowing for “superior efficiency and faster charging speeds in a more compact form factor.” Chargeasap ships the charger with four different types of travel adapters so it fits perfectly in the wall socket no matter where you live.

Price & availability

Chargeasap’s revolutionary 280W GaN charger is now available in white and black colors at Amazon UK for £160. The firm plans to sell it through Amazon US within the next couple of weeks. The charger will cost $219 in the States. Chargeasap may also release the product in other European countries in the coming weeks. The startup is currently working on another adapter that will allow this charger to be connected via a C7 cable instead of being plugged directly into the wall socket. It plans to launch it within two months.
