SWISSTEN Swissten Edge GaN Travel Charger USB-C PD 45W + USB-A 18W QC, GaN

The Swissten Edge GaN Travel Charger is a compact dual-port wall charger designed for fast charging at home, in the office, or while travelling. It combines a USB-C Power Delivery port with up to 45W output and a USB-A Quick Charge port up to 18W, enabling simultaneous charging of a laptop or smartphone and an accessory such as earbuds. Gallium nitride (GaN) components provide higher efficiency and reduced heat in a smaller housing.

Advantages

GaN technology allows a high power output from a compact body, reducing size and heat compared with conventional chargers. The USB-C PD port supplies up to 45W, suitable for charging many laptops, tablets and modern smartphones, while the USB-A QC port offers fast charging for additional devices. With two ports you can charge two devices at once without carrying multiple chargers.

Suitable for

• Charging laptops that accept USB-C Power Delivery (up to 45W)
• Charging smartphones and tablets with fast-charge capability
• Powering accessories such as wireless earbuds, power banks and peripherals via USB-A
• Travel and daily use where a compact, lightweight charger is needed

When it may not be suitable

The USB-C port delivers a maximum of 45W, which may be insufficient for larger or high-power laptops that require higher wattage for full-speed charging. If you need to charge multiple high-power devices simultaneously, total shared output will be reduced (combined USB-C + USB-A limited to specified common output), so charging times may be longer.

Key specifications

• Dimensions: 42 x 41 x 29 mm (without EU plug)
• Weight: 58 g
• Input: 200–240V AC, 1.5A, 50/60 Hz

• Protections: over-current, over-temperature and short-circuit protection

How to use

Plug the charger into a compatible mains socket and connect devices using the appropriate USB-C or USB-A cable. The USB-C PD port will negotiate the optimal voltage and current with compatible devices up to 45W. Use the USB-A port for accessories that support Quick Charge. Avoid using damaged cables and ensure the connected device supports the required charging protocol for optimal performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Check your laptop or device’s maximum supported USB-C PD wattage to ensure 45W is sufficient
• Verify compatibility of accessories with USB-A Quick Charge profiles
• Consider that shared output limits apply when charging two devices simultaneously
• Ensure you have suitable USB-C or USB-A cables rated for the required power

Usage recommendations

For best results, use high-quality, certified USB-C cables for Power Delivery and support charging on a flat, ventilated surface to avoid overheating. When charging a laptop and a secondary device at the same time, expect reduced charging speeds compared with single-device use.
