The Chargeasap Zeus Can Juice Up All Your Gadgets
The new Zeus charger from Chargeasap boasts a combined charging output of 280W across its four USB ports, eliminating the need to carry multiple chargers for different devices. It can charge devices like laptops (including MacBooks), iPads and other tablets, smartphones, earbuds, smartwatches, handheld consoles, and many others.
It features two USB-C ports topping out at 140W each, one USB-C port maxing out at 100W, and one USB-A port providing up to 65W of output. To put it in perspective, the two 140W USB-C ports can simultaneously charge two 16” MacBook Pros at their fully supported speeds. Alternatively, you can juice up three MacBooks at once – one at 140W and the other two at 65W each.
When using three or more ports at once, the primary USB-C port maintains its 140W output, but the other ports experience a drop in wattage. Despite this, considering the charger’s compact size, its performance remains impressive. And we’re talking about laptops only.
For phones, too, it should be able to charge newer models from Samsung, Apple, and Google, at full speeds. Additionally, proprietary charging tech from some OEMs like Samsung, Oppo, OnePlus, and Huawei is also supported.
The charger also comes with a decently sized OLED display to show real-time information regarding charging, including volts, amps, and watts of output from each port. Using this display, you can easily check whether your devices are being charged at full potential.
A Closer Look Into The Specs
Let’s dig deeper into the specifications of the Chargeasap Zeus. It supports PPS, Power Delivery 3.0, Quick Charge 4.0, Huawei’s FCP and SCP, and Samsung’s AFC, among others, via its USB-C ports. The USB-A port supports Quick Charge 3.0 and Oppo’s and OnePlus’s VOOC Charge protocols.
The charger comes equipped with four Navitas NV6127 chips, one for each port. There’s also a graphene cooling mechanism that keeps the charger temperature below 75°C. It weighs 380g, which is less than many competing offerings.
