I Tested $1200 Worth Of 100W+ GaN Wall Chargers - Here Are My Top 5

Looking to get a wall charger that can all your devices at maximum speed? I've tested 12+ of the most popular GaN Wall Chargers with wattages above 100W. I've done multiple speed tests involving solo charging, charging under max loads, multiple device charging through laptops and multiple device charging through the charger.
Be warned though, these chargers are generally not cheap BUT there is one in my test group that was affordable AND fast!
Here are the 5 best 100W Plus Chargers (with Amazon links):
1. Spigen ArcStation Pro GaN 1402 Wall Charger - mreh.ca/4a36oxC
2. Apple 140W Charger - mreh.ca/4bmbSV1
3. VOLTME 100W USB C Charger - mreh.ca/3UsmevH
4. Ugreen Nexode Pro 4-Port GaN Fast Charger 160W - mreh.ca/4bn6EbD
5. AOHI Magcube 140W USB C Charger - mreh.ca/3wjw0Z8

#1 . Spigen ArcStation Pro GaN 1402 Wall Charger - mreh.ca/4a36oxC
-Claims 140W but each port can only handle up to 100W.
-Fast and efficient, particularly good at charging laptops.
-Runs cooler than most at 128 degrees Fahrenheit.
-Compact and competitively priced at $100, close to Apple's offering.
#2. Apple 140W Charger - mreh.ca/4bmbSV1
-Simple, powerful single-port charger, ideal for MacBook Pro users.
-Performs well in most tests, particularly with single-device charging.
-Slightly larger and warmer than average but cooler within its power class.
-Best suited for users who don't need multiple ports.
#3. VOLTME 100W USB C Charger - mreh.ca/3UsmevH
-Best value at $45, half the average price of top chargers.
-Limited flexibility; wattage decreases significantly when using multiple ports.
-Smallest and one of the hottest running chargers in the test.
-Light but potentially less durable due to an underpowered heatsink.
#4. Ugreen Nexode Pro 4-Port GaN Fast Charger 160W - mreh.ca/4bn6EbD
-Claims 160W total but only provides up to 140W per port.
-Consistently top three in performance tests; best for solo idle charging.
-Expensive and bulky, extremely hot, reaching up to 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
#5. AOHI Magcube 140W USB C Charger - mreh.ca/3wjw0Z8
-Colorful design with a yellow exterior and unique finish.
-Encounters issues under maximum load with inconsistent voltage.
-USB-A port outputs 33W, higher than typical 22.5W.
-Features a distinctive status light that changes colors based on activity.
-Pricier and larger than average, runs hotter but offers a cool aesthetic.

FYI Ugreen has 3 different categories for their Nexode line of chargers. (Nexode, X Nexode, Pro Nexode). After doing some research the specs on the X Nexode line of Ugreen chargers seem to be better than the "Pro Nexode" line.

I have the Spigen GaN III 1402 PD3.1 140W charger model PE2109UJ. It supports 140W 28V/5A EPR on the port that's marked with a laptop icon. The other port is 100W SPR 20V/5A. I use it as my bedside charger for my 16" MBP M1 Max. Plug the MagSafe 3 cable into one port, then the other. Check what System Information - Power - AC Charger Information shows for each. One will say 140W, while the other will say 100W. When you test charger protocol support with your KM003C you either need to have an EPR cable connected on the other side or use EPR cable emulation. Generally, a real cable is more reliable. Always test all ports on a charger individually with nothing else plugged into a multiport charger. Some cables are active and will limit power on adjacent ports simply by being plugged in without a device. The Voltme Revo 100W does not have an OSHA NRTL recognized safety listing e.g UL, ETL, TUV, SGS, etc. That's a red flag.

One of them was on the table (150W I think?), I am assuming it didn’t make the top 5. I really like my 120W 737 (although it only outputs 100W and the power splitting is stupid). I may get their super tiny 100W one.

@r34n1m8n 2 ай бұрын

This crappy "reviewer" repeatedly does this on these videos. Claims to test lots of units, "recommends" 5, omits all information about the other models tested; apparently, viewers must meticulously pause the video to figure out the other models tested because just "trust me bro" is in effect. Also, by the channel name it's Canadian, but are the quoted prices from Amazon Canada or Amazon US? The distinction for the pricing is never stated.

@ShoukaKanai 2 ай бұрын

Well the video title does state “Here are my top 5” so it would makes sense to only show the top 5 he tested that he thinks based on the tests that are the best. Hopefully he makes a longer form video showcasing the results of each charger but that video might be hours long.

@koreskalp 2 ай бұрын

I own an iPhone, Apple Watch, and MacBook Air, which collectively utilize three USB Type-C ports with three different connectors (MagSafe, Watch charger, and the MBA magnetic cord). If I ever need to charge another device, like headphones with a USB-C to USB-C connection, I have to disconnect one of the existing cables. It would be convenient if one of these companies could develop a 140-160W charger with four USB-C ports.

@hypernova7 2 ай бұрын

I get why they have USB-A ports, but come on I would much rather have a C port (I could use my C-A adapters if I needed to).

According to Ugreen, it puts out 140w in single port mode. So it’s at least as good as the Apple single charger. In 2-port mode it puts out 100w + 60w, then 65w+65w+30w in 3-port mode, and 65w+65w+5+5 in 4-port mode

Ankers' 100w charger is now only $42 for AmazonPrime, which imo makes this entire video obsolete. I personally got the Aohi and couldn't be happier. I even got 120W from a single port using Aohi's 240W cable. Why isn't the ugreen 300w on here?

excellent videos as always. Allow me to quote a very reliable source. Ok, not quote but regurgitate what an attorney who specialized in going after counterfeit electronics told me. He's cut open many, many of these type of units. The weight often comes from simple lead shot they put inside to make it heavy and fool people into thinking it is of higher quality.

You must be mistaken on the AOHI Magcube 140W. It can charge 140W oit of "each" usb-c port "at the same time." Not a "combined" 140W. So that 280W if you are using both ports at the same time. The AOHI Youth can only do 140W at a time but splits it if you use both ports. The Magcube doesn't. Also, it states that in irder to get the full 140W charging that you "MUST" use their magsafe 3 cable. You didn't use their cable I'm assuming. If none of this is true, then their Amazing page is straight up lying. Let me know.

I have the Voltme but my use case was to mostly charge around half the watts-steam deck or two phones. I generally don't like the idea of maxing out the capacity and would rather bump up to the next tier, like the 140 Voltme to charge around 100. That might be a PC building power supply way of thinking.

@r34n1m8n 2 ай бұрын

Another misleading video showing you shouldn't be trusted. You clearly don't understand USB Type-C specifications and how many of these adhere to that. Any model that can achieve over 100W charging through a single Type-C port is using the newer USB Power Delivery 3.1 specification which added Extended Power Range (EPR) capabilities. If it's not listed as such on the packaging, that's the fault of the manufacturer, but it likely is & you neither show the packaging long enough in the video nor clearly display the "fine print" (you claim you read that @ 2:15, but apparently that's not important enough to show to viewers) for anyone to check; you even have a tester (the ChargerLAB Power-Z KM003C, shown @ 5:11) that clearly shows the Apple 140W charger in USB PD 3.1 EPR mode, but remain ignorant to these standards. 3 of the 5 models: the Apple 140W ("#2"), the ugreen nexode pro 160W ("#4")

@adriftatlas 2 ай бұрын

I have the Spigen GaN III 1402 PD3.1 140W charger model PE2109UJ that he tested. It can charge my 2021 MBP M1 Max 16 at full speed. Verified in both System Information and with my KM003C. He for some reason doesn't think that's the case even though he claims to have thoroughly tested it. Few chargers are USB-IF certified unfortunately but most reputable ones are at least safety listed. The VoltMe he recommended is not safety listed, nor did he mention that it wasn't. That's bad. We're trusting AC chargers with our lives and our homes. People have been electrocuted and chargers have caught fire.
