UGREEN has launched a powerful new charging dock that can charge up to five laptops and one phone at the same time. It’s called the UGREEN 500W desktop charging base, and it’s now on sale in China. The company says this is the first 500W charging dock in the industry.
This charger comes with six ports: five USB-C ports and one USB-A port. The top port, USB-C1, supports up to 240W of power, which is enough to charge even big gaming laptops. The other four USB-C ports (C2 to C5) support up to 100W each. The USB-A port gives 20W, which is good for phones or smaller devices.
Different configurations for different use cases
Depending on how many devices you plug in, the charger will automatically change the power delivery to make sure each device gets what it needs.
For example:
If you use only one port, you can get the full power, up to 240W.
If you use two ports, the charger might split it to 240W + 100W, or 100W + 100W, depending on which ports you use.
With three, four, or even six devices connected, the charger keeps adjusting the power. Some ports might give 100W, others 60W, and the USB-A port always gives 20W.
You can see all the different power setups in the images below.
The charging dock also supports PD 3.1, the latest fast charging standard. That means your devices will charge quickly and safely.
UGREEN says the charger has smart safety tech built in. If the dock gets knocked over or overheats, it will automatically adjust the power to protect your devices and the charger itself.
Even with all this power, the dock is not too heavy. It weighs about 1.7 kilograms, and the total power it can give at once is 500W.
Price and Availability
The behemoth charging dock is available at a price of 899 yuan (around $125) in China. There’s no word on global availability yet.
