Belkin has released a new charger called the Belkin 45W Retractable GaN Wall Charger (model WCH023) in China. It is priced at 199 yuan ($28) and is now available on JD.com.
Belkin 45W GaN Charger Specifications
The charger comes with a built-in USB-C cable that extends up to 0.8 meters and neatly retracts into its rounded, white housing. According to Belkin, it is highly durable: the retraction mechanism is rated to survive 20,000 cycles, while the cable itself can withstand 5,000 bends and a 10kg load.
It is also designed for easy portability, featuring foldable prongs, a compact footprint measuring 65 by 52 by 38mm, and a lightweight build of just 145 grams.
In terms of power, the charger delivers a maximum of 45W when connected to a single device, whether you are using the integrated cable or the secondary USB-C port located on the front. If you need to plug in two devices at the same time, the power splits into 25W for one output and 20W for the other.
It supports standard fast-charging protocols like USB PD 3.1 and PPS. According to Belkin’s estimates, the 45W output is enough to get an iPhone 17 Pro to 50% battery in 20 minutes, or a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra to 50% in 25 minutes.
Inside, the charger uses gallium nitride (GaN) components. Belkin claims its specific implementation allows for 92% power conversion efficiency and keeps the brick running about 10 degrees Celsius cooler than older, non-GaN chargers. It also includes active temperature monitoring and the usual set of safeguards against overvoltage, overcurrent, and short circuits.
The outer shell of the charger is made from 90% post-consumer recycled plastic.
In related news, Anker has recently launched a 160W smart charger with proprietary fast charging for Huawei and Xiaomi devices, while Baseus announced a tiny 100W GaN charger designed with foldable plugs for portability.
