What Is a GaN Charger, and Why Do You Need One?

Are you tired of your phone constantly running out of charge? Or maybe you’re sick of slow charging speeds? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you might want to consider investing in a GaN charger.

GaN tech chargers, like the RAVPower GaN Charger, are the newest types of chargers in the market and they offer several benefits over traditional chargers. For one, they’re much faster, so you can charge your devices in a fraction of the time.

A GaN charger is a charger that uses gallium nitride instead of the more common silicon in its construction. This makes it smaller, more energy-efficient, and faster at charging than a traditional charger. If you’ve ever been frustrated by your phone taking forever to charge or you’re always looking for ways to eke out a little more battery, a RAVPower Type-C Charger is worth getting.

Why Is Gallium Nitride Superior to Silicon?

Gallium nitride is a semiconductor material that has many advantages over silicon. It can be used to make smaller transistors, and as a result, smaller chips. GaN can handle higher power levels and charges faster than silicon. That means it’s perfect for applications like 5G radio and fast-charging accessories. And because it’s a better conductor of electricity, it can handle more power without getting hot.

GaN chargers can charge devices faster. RAVPower’s 100W GaN Charger, for example, can charge a MacBook Pro 15.4” from 0% to 100% in just 2 hours! GaN chargers are also more efficient than traditional chargers. This means they waste less energy as heat so they don’t need bulky cooling fins or heat sinks. That makes them smaller and lighter, which is useful if you’re always on the go.

If you’re fed up with slow charging speeds, or you’re looking for a more compact and portable charger, a GaN charger is worth considering.

Why Are GaN Chargers Better Than Ordinary Chargers? 

You may be wondering if a GaN charger is worth the investment. After all, there are a lot of chargers on the market and they all seem to do the same thing. So, what makes a GaN charger better than an ordinary charger?

The answer lies in the technology behind the charger. GaN, or gallium nitride, is a semiconductor material that is more efficient than silicon. Silicon is the material used in most electronics. It is a good conductor of electricity but is not as fast or efficient as GaN.

GaN chargers can charge devices faster because they have a wider bandgap (Silicon has a 1.12 eV bandgap, while Gallium Nitride has a 3.4 eV bandgap). This means there is less energy loss as electrons move from one band to another. Gallium nitride’s wider band gap allows it to sustain higher voltages and temperatures than silicon MOSFETs. Here are a few reasons why GaN chargers are better than ordinary chargers:

Smaller Footprint

If you don’t like chargers that take up too much space, you’ll love GaN chargers. Because they’re made with a more efficient semiconductor material, they are smaller and more compact than traditional chargers. They won’t take up much space in your bag or purse. 

Faster Charging Speed

If you’re always on the go, you need a charger that can keep up with your busy lifestyle. GaN chargers charge devices up to 3 times faster than traditional chargers. You can fully charge your dying phone in less than an hour. No more waiting around for your phone to charge!

More Energy Efficient

GaN chargers are also more energy-efficient than traditional chargers. They use less power which is better for the environment. You’ll also save money on your power bill. Win-win!

Benefits of GaN Chargers

Faster and More Efficient Charging

One of the biggest benefits of GaN chargers is they’re faster and more efficient. They can charge devices up to three times faster than standard chargers. And because they’re more efficient, they don’t waste a lot of energy.

Smaller in Size

GaN chargers are also smaller in size and portable, so you can take them with you wherever you go because they’re easier to carry around. No more bulky chargers taking up space in your bag! They also take up less space on your desk or nightstand.

Cooler and Safer Charging

Another big benefit of GaN chargers is that they’re cooler and safer to use. Ordinary chargers can get hot when in use, which can be dangerous. But GaN chargers stay cool even when they’re charging devices at high speeds. Plus they’re built with safety features that prevent devices from overcharging.
