What Happens If You Use a 65W Charger Instead of a 45W Charger?

2025-07-11
🔍 Short Answer: Yes, It’s Safe (With the Right Charger)
 Modern chargers like GaN chargers and PD chargers (Power Delivery) are designed with smart charging protocols. If your device only supports 45W charging, the 65W charger will intelligently limit the output to 45W.
✔️ No damage ✔️ No overcharging ✔️ Automatic power negotiation

🔋 Deep Dive: Why a 65W Charger Works with 45W Devices
1. Power Delivery (PD) Protocol Handles the Negotiation
 ·PD chargers (like ZONSAN's ZX-3U32T 65W GaN model) communicate with your device to determine its maximum safe charging wattage.
·Example: If your tablet supports 45W, even a 65W USB-C charger will only output 45W.
2. GaN Charger = Smarter & Cooler
 Compared to older chargers, GaN charging technology improves:
·⚙️ Energy efficiency
·❄️ Temperature control
·🔋 Faster charging with less heat
3. Built-in Safety Features Prevent Damage
 ZONSAN’s 45W & 65W chargers include:
✅ Overcurrent protection
✅ Overvoltage protection
✅ Short circuit protection
✅ Temperature protection
✅ Fireproof PC housing

❓ Will Using a 65W Charger Charge Faster?
 ➡️ For 45W-limited devices, no speed difference. The charger adjusts to 45W.
➡️ For devices supporting 65W charging, it charges faster than a 45W charger.

⚠️ What If I Use a Cheap, Uncertified 65W Charger?
Non-certified chargers lack proper power negotiation. This may cause:
 ·Overheating
·Voltage mismatch
·Reduced battery lifespan
·Safety hazards during long-term use
