Even the most experienced tech experts or fans may find the world of USB-C a little aggravating or confounding. Today, though, we’ll concentrate on a different facet of the USB-C world: power delivery.

What is USB-C Power Delivery?

The USB Implementers Forum, the developers of the USB standard, established the USB-C Power Delivery, or PD, a rapid charging technology that was introduced by the USB Implementers Forum. It’s an open standard that allows for high-speed charging with up to 20V of changing voltages and up to 5A at 100W of intelligent device negotiation.

And it’s meant to give higher levels of power than normal charging options, not only on Apple devices, but also on Android, Google, and even Samsung smartphones.

Each USB-charged item used to have its own converter, but that is no longer the case. A single USB-C Charge Delivery cord will be able to power a wide range of devices at the same time.

What devices have USB Power Delivery 

In most cases, USB-C Power Delivery is available on most modern devices. USB-C Power Delivery can also charge bigger devices, such as tablets and laptops, with up to 100W of power. All you need is a USB-C cable and the correct wall charger, portable charger, or battery pack, and you’ll be able to forget about your unwieldy power cables.

Using a USB-C connection, batteries and wall chargers that employ USB-C Power Delivery can charge devices with up to 100W output. Keep in mind that the majority of Power Delivery chargers have a power output of 30W, which is a bit more than most smartphones and tablets can take.

What are the Benefits of USB- C Power Delivery?

When compared to traditional 5W charging options, USB-C Power Delivery may charge your smartphone up to 70% quicker. This means you’ll spend less time plugged in while your phone’s battery is fully charged.

The best thing about USB-C Power Delivery is that it has increased the standard power output to 100W. As a result, your smartphone will be able to charge far more quickly than it could previously.

The fact that the power direction is no longer set is another fantastic feature of USB-C Power Delivery. In the past, you could charge your phone by plugging it into a computer. However, if you use Power Delivery, your phone might be the one that powers your hard drive.

Power Delivery will also guarantee that your gadgets are not overcharged and that you only get the power you need. Many other gadgets and computers, however, will be able to take use of the extra power, despite the fact that most smartphones will not be able to do so.
