The ZMI USB-C 65W Charger has a two-tone black finish with a foldable plug design albeit American and 65W branded on the sides. It has a single USB-C port at the top and measures 50mm x 50mm.
The charger is compatible with a wide range of devices and will automatically detect the device connected so as to supply the right power rating. ZMI says it will charge the 13.3” MacBook Air and 13” MacBook Pro in 1hr 50 minutes, the iPad Pro in 2hrs 28 minutes, the Redmi K20 Pro in 1hr 40 minutes, the Mi 9 in 1hr 30 minutes, and the Nintendo Switch in 2hrs 55 minutes.
It will also work with the iPhone XS and iPad Air when connected to a USB-C to Lightning connector cable and charge both devices in 1hr 50 minutes and 2hrs 10 minutes respectively. A full list of compatible laptops is included above.
The ZMI USB-C 65W Charger has 7 different protections built-in such as input and output high current protection, high-temperature protection, and short-circuit protection.
