GaN chargers guide
The everyday powerhouse.
One small RAXCEN GaN charger can look after your phone, tablet and laptop. Here is how GaN works, and how to pick the one that fits the way you charge.
The whole range.
Made to work together.
Chargers, cables, power banks and desk stations from one brand. Every product comes with a 12-month limited warranty.
At a glance.
The essentials.
Smaller and cooler
Gallium Nitride converts power more efficiently than silicon, so far less energy is lost as heat. That is why a GaN charger runs cooler and can be much smaller.
Works with your devices
USB Power Delivery 3.1, Quick Charge 4.0+, PPS and Apple 2.4A. Phones, tablets, laptops and consoles charge at full speed.

- 1
Check the standards.
Make sure the charger speaks the language of your devices: USB Power Delivery (PD 3.1), Quick Charge 4.0+, PPS or Apple 2.4A.
- 2
Count the ports.
Think about how many devices you charge at the same time. When several are plugged in, the charger divides its power between them.
- 3
Look for protection.
OVP, OCP, OTP and SCP guard every charge. Every RAXCEN charger has all four.
How to choose.
Which one is right for you?
You charge a phone and a laptop together
Choose a multi-port charger. A smart chip talks to each device and shares the power between them. For example, 45W to a laptop and 20W to a phone, without interrupting either.
You travel a lot
GaN is small, so one charger replaces a bag of plugs. Pick a model with enough ports for the devices you carry.
You want one plug for the whole desk
Look at our laptop chargers. They are built to run a laptop and the devices around it from a single socket. Laptop chargers guide ›
You charge a laptop above 60W
Pair the charger with a USB-C cable that has an E-Marker chip. Our cable guide explains why. Cables guide ›
Questions. Answered.
Is RAXCEN GaN compatible with all smartphones and laptops?
Yes. It supports USB Power Delivery 3.1, Quick Charge 4.0+, PPS and Apple 2.4A. That covers MacBook Pro and Air, iPhone, iPad Pro, Samsung Galaxy, Dell XPS, Lenovo ThinkPad and Nintendo Switch at full speed.
Will fast charging wear out my phone battery?
Your device decides how much power it takes, and a RAXCEN charger delivers exactly what it asks for and no more. As the battery nears 80%, charging eases off, which keeps heat low. Heat is what wears batteries most over time.
Why does a GaN charger run cooler?
Gallium Nitride converts power more efficiently than silicon, so far less energy is lost as heat. Efficiency varies from one charger to the next.
