What Is USB-PD

So, what is power delivery, and what does it do? Its goal is to charge your gadgets faster than regular USB. It uses the USB-C format, which a lot of modern-day devices currently use.

A USB-PD charger can charge devices with requirements up to 100 watts, which can power some pretty heavy-duty USB-C devices. Of course, if you plugged a 100-watt cable into your phone, it's likely to do more harm than good! That's why the cable "listens" to the device's wattage needs and adjusts its energy flow to suit.

With USB-C's universal standard combined with USB-PD's adaptable power output, you get a cable that can plug into and adequately charge a wide range of devices.
