Kovol Launches Dual-Port Fast Charger for $89

Kovol, fast-charger supplier to Anker and other electronics makers, announced Friday a 140-watt dual-port wall adapter that can fast-charge two devices simultaneously. The 140W PD 3.1 ($89) uses gallium-nitride (GaN) technology, said to achieve high power levels from a design that's 5% smaller than a single-port USB-C charger. It can charge a 16-inch laptop PC to 100% in 70 minutes, and it can “top up” a laptop and phone together via a 120-watt USB-C port and 18-watt USB-A port, it said.
