Baseus has opened pre-orders for a compact high-power GaN charger that tries to solve two common complaints with multi-device fast charging: heat buildup and dropping output over time.
The Baseus EnerGeek GH21 is a 160W all-protocol GaN display charger. It’s fairly small at 45 × 47 × 77.4 mm and weighs about 230 g without the box. Input supports the usual 100-240V range. Each of its three USB-C ports can push up to 140W on its own, and when you use two or three ports together the total maxes out at 160W.
The standout feature is the active cooling system. Baseus went with an e-sports-style air-cooling design that uses a surround airflow path, which they claim improves heat dissipation by 35%. Inside is a DC centrifugal high-speed turbofan with a magnetic levitation motor that spins up to 12,500 RPM and moves 0.96 CFM of air, 128% more than traditional designs. There’s also a sleep mode so you can manually turn the fan off for quieter nighttime use.
Combined with a large 2,584 mm² graphene thermal area and AI adaptive temperature control, the charger is said to drop temperature by 18°C within the first 10 minutes of full-power use and settle around 66°C, about 15°C cooler than most passive high-power chargers. Baseus claims it can hold full power for up to 72 hours without thermal throttling.
Power is managed by PowerTune 3.0, which checks the ports every three seconds and shifts power around so charging doesn’t get interrupted when you plug or unplug devices. The C3 port specifically supports Xiaomi’s 120W Hyper Charge protocol, so a Xiaomi 17 Pro can reach 80% in about 30 minutes.
On the front is a 1.8-inch full-color TFT screen running BaseusView 2.0 that shows real-time power, estimated time left, temperature, and other stats. It also generates a quick summary after charging finishes, supports double-tap to flip the screen, and even has a few playful screensaver options.
Pre-orders are already live in China for 399 yuan, which translates to around $60.
