What is the warranty period for this charger?
The Targus 100W USB Type-C PD Charger benefits from an official two-year warranty from the Targus brand.
Does this charger come with a USB-C cable?
The product description indicates a cable length of 1.5m and cable management, but does not explicitly state a USB-C cable is included. It is recommended to use your device's original USB-C cable or a certified high-quality cable rated for 100W.
Can I use this charger for my smartphone?
Yes, if your smartphone supports charging via USB Type-C and Power Delivery technology, this charger can be used to charge it.
What is the maximum laptop size this charger can power?
The charger is powerful enough for most laptop devices up to 17 inches, provided they use USB-C for charging and their power requirements do not exceed 100W.
Is this charger suitable for international travel?
While designed for travel, its primary AC power cord is for standard outlets. You may need a plug adapter for use in different countries, but it supports AC to DC power conversion.
How does the cable management feature work?
The charger comes with a cable tie that you can use to wrap around the power cord and USB-C cable (if separate) to keep them organized and prevent tangling when stored or transported.
What does 'Power Delivery technology' mean for charging?
Power Delivery (PD) is a specification for USB-based power transfer that allows for higher voltages and faster charging speeds. It intelligently negotiates power requirements between the charger and the device for optimal and safe charging.
Troubleshooting
Charger not powering on or charging device
Ensure the AC power cord is securely plugged into both the wall outlet and the charger. Verify the USB-C cable is correctly connected to both the charger and your device. Try a different wall outlet and a different USB-C cable if possible.
Device charging slowly
Confirm that the charger is providing the expected wattage. Ensure no other high-power-draw applications are running on your device. Check if the USB-C cable is rated for the charger's 100W output. Restart your device.
Charger feels excessively hot
Some warmth during charging is normal. However, if the charger becomes uncomfortably hot, unplug it immediately. Ensure ventilation ports are not obstructed and the charger is not being used in a confined space. If the issue persists, discontinue use and contact support.
