Technology

What is USB PD (Power Delivery)

USB Power Delivery is a universal multi-voltage charging standard that enables the maximum functionality of USB. It provides flexible power delivery bidirectionally, along with data, through a single cable to recharge a wide range of compatible devices safely and efficiently.

What is Required for USB PD

Electronic devices that have a USB PD compatible port. (Power bank, laptop, tablet, phone, etc.)
A power source with USB PD compatible port. (Adapt4 USB-C Charging Station, wall charger, etc.)
A USB PD compatible cable to connect the power source to the electronic device. (USB-C or Thunderbolt cables)

What is Quick Charge 3.0?

Quick Charge 3.0 charges compatible devices up to four times faster than conventional charging. It is engineered to refuel devices twice as fast as Quick Charge 1.0 and is up to 38% more efficient than Quick Charge 2.0. It is backward compatible with Quick Charge 2.0/1.0 devices.

Getting Started

Charging the Power Bank

Fully charge the power bank before the first-time use.

Connect a USB-C cable to a USB PD power source such as the Adapt4 USB-C Charging Station or a wall charger.
Connect the other end to the power bank’s USB-C port.
The LED battery level indicator lights will flash white indicating the power bank is charging.
Unplug the power bank when fully charged, indicated by all LED battery level indicator lights staying solidly white.

Charging A Device

Connect a charging cable to a device’s charging port.
Connect the other end of the cable to a compatible port on the power bank, charging cables need to be either USB-A or USB-C port compatible. (Larger devices such as a laptop will need to be connected to the USB-C port to be able to charge.)
Turn on the power bank by pressing the power button.
Unplug the device when it is fully charged.
To check the remaining power bank level, press the power button and the LED battery level indicator lights will indicate the remaining amount.

Low-Current Charging Mode

Designed to charge low-current devices (60mA or less). Try switching to this mode if a low-powered device (such as wireless headphones or a fitness tracker) is not charged using the default fast-charge mode.

Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to enter low-current charging mode.
The LED battery level indicator light nearest the USB-C fast charging indicator will turn green, while the other lights will stay white.
After 2 hours of charging in this mode, the power bank will automatically switch back to the default fast-charge mode and turns off.
Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to end low-current charging and enable the default fast-charge mode.
Unplugging and re-plugging in the charging cable from the power bank will also exit low-current charging mode.
Charging in low-current charging mode will not harm the connected device’s battery.
