Lenovo has announced a new gallium nitride (GaN) power adapter in China, called the Lecoo Bellator 245W. As the name implies, it outputs up to 245W of power, which makes it clear that it’s intended for gaming laptops.
Now, as a GaN module, size is the main selling point here. Lenovo says the Lecoo Bellator 245W is about 30% smaller by volume and about 28% lighter than a standard 240W adapter. If you take your gaming laptop to class, the office, or a friend’s place, the difference adds up once the charger goes into the bag next to it.
It goes on sale on October 8 for 249 yuan, or about $37.
Size and weight
The Lecoo Bellator 245W measures 82 × 82 × 33 mm and weighs about 449.7 grams. High-wattage chargers tend to be bulky, and GaN is how Lenovo fits this much power into a smaller body.
The dimensions match the Legion 300W GaN4.0 adapter Lenovo announced in May, even though that one is rated 55W higher. Lenovo has been shrinking its gaming laptop adapters for a few years now, going back to the Legion C140 GaN charger from 2023.
It is not a pocket-sized charger. The Lecoo Bellator 245W uses a three-prong grounded plug, which fits a product designed for high-performance laptops. Still, you’re getting something easier to carry than a traditional adapter in the same power class.
The cable is built in, 1.5 meters long, and ends in a 5.5 x 2.5 mm round DC connector. So you have no separate cable to pack or lose. Lenovo has also used a thicker cable core and an internal shielding layer to ensure a steady power delivery.
The compatible laptops for the adapter include Lenovo Bellator 7000, Bellator 7000P, and Bellator 7000X. On these models, the adapter can enable Beast Mode and Battle Mode, the profiles that let the CPU and GPU run harder when the laptop is under stress. If you own one of these laptops, you get a smaller adapter option for 249 yuan.
