Product Information

Full details

The Targus 100W GaN Wall Charger is designed for professionals and frequent travelers who need to power multiple devices simultaneously. Its key benefit is the high 100W power delivery via GaN technology, enabling fast charging for laptops and other demanding gadgets, along with interchangeable international plugs for global use. A potential caveat is that while it offers four ports, the maximum output of 100W is shared across all connected devices, meaning simultaneous full-speed charging for all four may not be possible.

FAQs

What does GaN technology mean for this charger?

GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology allows for smaller, more efficient chargers. This means the Targus charger can deliver high power (up to 100W) in a compact size while generating less heat than traditional silicon-based chargers.

Can I charge my laptop at full speed while also charging my phone and tablet?

The charger has a maximum output of 100W, which is shared across all connected devices. While you can charge multiple devices simultaneously, the speed for each device will depend on its power requirements and the total power being drawn. The fastest charging will occur when fewer devices are connected, or when connecting to the primary 100W USB-C port.

Which countries are the interchangeable plugs compatible with?

The included plugs are compatible with power outlets in over 140 countries across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

Does this charger support fast charging for all devices?

Yes, it supports fast charging. The USB-C ports support USB Power Delivery (USB PD) up to 100W, and the USB-A ports support Quick Charge up to 18W. The actual charging speed depends on the device's capabilities.

Is this charger safe to use internationally?

Yes, the charger supports universal voltage (100-240V) and comes with interchangeable plugs for use in over 140 countries. It also features built-in over-current, over-voltage, over-charge, and over-heating protection.

What is the warranty period for this charger?

As a Targus product, it meets strict quality and safety standards. Specific warranty details can be found on the official Targus website or through the retailer where the product was purchased.

What are the dimensions and weight of the charger?

The charger is compact, measuring 83 mm in width and height, and 32 mm in depth. It weighs approximately 300 grams.

Troubleshooting

Device is not charging or charging slowly.

Ensure the charger is securely plugged into the wall outlet and the device's cable is fully connected. Try using a different USB-C or USB-A port on the charger. If charging a laptop, confirm the device supports USB-C Power Delivery and that the charger's output is sufficient. Check if multiple devices are drawing power simultaneously; try charging only one device to see if speed improves.

Charger feels unusually warm.

Some warmth is normal during charging, especially when powering high-draw devices. However, if the charger is excessively hot to the touch, unplug it immediately. Ensure the vents are not obstructed and that it is not covered by anything. Discontinue use if excessive heat persists, as this may indicate an internal issue.

Interchangeable plug is difficult to attach or detach.

Align the plug carefully with the charger's port. Apply firm, steady pressure to attach. To detach, gently pull the plug straight out while holding the charger body. Avoid forcing the connection, which could damage the pins or ports.

Charger does not power on.

Verify that the wall outlet is functioning by testing it with another device. Ensure the correct international plug is firmly attached and properly seated. Check the charger and plug for any visible damage. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
