USB-C isn't just used for data but also power! But you may not know that USB-C charging isn't as simple as it could be! With Power Delivery changing almost every other year, we thought it was time to give an easy to understand explanation of USB-C PD! We hope you learn something new and interesting in this video!

I'm a techy. However ignorant of this "new" protocol. My nephew claimed the charger and cable he got with his Samsung changed faster than a pair I pulled out of my collection. I told him 5V is 5V, and the only way to push more power was to UP the V. I=E/R. I didn't realize he was correct. Now I am aware. Thanks!

Solid video my man. I wanted to know the difference from PD 1.0 to PD 3.1 and this video nailed it.

There are power banks with USB-C ports handling both input and output. So that a mains charger charges the power bank on the same USB-C port that charges another device (such as a phone). How does that USB-C port know the direction of the power. For example, when 2 power banks are connected together over their USB-C PD ports, which power bank is changing or being charged? Thanks.

Oh man, such a quality info in just one video, I tell you, if this info was in other languages It would be a hit !

Great Discussion:
Thanks!
I tried going to the links above, It seems that it is not easy to find your USB-c PD gear!
My recommendation: Please, make the link page go to PD enabled gear starting with the most capable products first!
This would be in the spirit of the good and easy features of powering with USB-c PD chargers.

I am only trying to make you more money! You have already done most of the work by presenting this video! You already sell & MAKE the products!
(I think!) It seems that all is needed is to clearly list the PD feature capabilities and current and wattages etc.
Also, The website needs to point back to these videos!
Thanks again!

Also, For ease of reading see how the site handles reading with several CTRL+'s that I use to read! I usually prefer 7 Ctrl+'s if it doesnt break things too much!

I have to take issue with one thing. I own a 65 watt warp charger from OnePlus and it offers PD type C charging. I discovered this when I attempted to use it to charge my Microsoft surface laptop. In addition, I also own 2 type C output super vooc 125 watt chargers and they are also capable of PD charging. It is true that they deliver proprietary charging formats but, they also support pd, PP as well as QC formats. As it turns out, they are very versatile.

Great explanation. This 2.0and 3.1 versions are great news for the consumers. Thanks to the EU comity, they are in the process of forcing companies like apple and samsung the use universal power supplies. So hopefully at the end of the struggle the consumers in the EU will benefit from all these new features of USB-C

Awesome...makin the switch!
Buyin all the chargers and hubs and cables. Even getting the C to barrel plugs! C to multi-micro cables are a must.
Should take much I guess...😂
Just a couple multi port chargers and cables.🎉

Aaand just like that I found my newest addiction. Loved your video, my goodness! So informative. Thank you so much!

[krashdown]

Thanks man, sweet presentation, now I rest assured I won't fry my Olympus camera. I will wait until my new Olympus with the USB-C port arrives, don't want my Gimbal on such a high charge rate it tries to strangle me. I will use the correct charger for the appliance, definitely worth subscribing to your channel, peace Bro'.

[ZacHarvey]

Great explanation. Covered exactly what I wanted to know, and what I didn't know I wanted to know.

[megapangolin]

Thanks, Mike, interesting and helpful video. Good to hear a Brit voice supporting a USA company.

can we program usb pd functionality in stm32? for upto 29 volts...?

[mrpicky]

my problem is that even laptops that can accept PD charging do not specify anything. what how when... so often you know only after you already bought it

[dhruvabedre]

6:46 will my laptop charge at different voltages (like when GPU is in use or not)? Charging adapter(USB C PD) has output of 20/15/12/9/5V and i don't think it will charge at 15V (when GPU not in use) or lower. It must be charging only at 20V right?

[zan]

I had no idea such different chargers existed. No wonder my phone was not charging fast enough. Now I'll have to buy a new charger.

[Gyppor]

240w through a usb-C connector, that is bonkers! thanks for the explanation.

[ehsan]

Thank you man. learned a lot today from your video.

[BenPhanStudios]

Great video! Do all USB-C ports have PD charging? Meaning as long as I'm using USB-C I never need to worry about frying a device? Thanks!

[briannielsbergh]

Great video, thank you very much for explaining :)
