Seeing your laptop battery drop 5% every half hour while plugged into a GaN charger is frustrating. You expect a steady charge, not a slow drain, especially with modern tech.

I’ve noticed my GaN charger drops to 65W when I plug in a second device. This happens because the charger splits its total power between all connected ports. Most multi-port GaN chargers share a fixed power budget, so adding a phone or tablet forces the laptop port to reduce wattage. This isn’t a defect—it’s how … Read more

This is confusing because you want to power your lights and devices directly from the controller. Most 48-volt solar charge controllers simply cannot handle the high current that a 48-volt load … Read more
