The readings you’re getting are about right. You should get around 80-85% of advertised max wattage, and that’s the case with all chargers from what I know.
No. You really should read >100% of advertised power (around 110%) when measuring input power and charger fully loaded. Fully loaded - load consumes maximum advertised power (if charger advertises up to 5A at up to 28V mode then load draws 5A at requested 28V)
I use a MacBook Pro 14 inch but I am not getting 140w output im limited to 100w. I am using the top port, I use MagSafe cable, my battery is close to dead. I don't know why I can't get 140w. I bought this specifically for that functionality.
Thanks for letting me know. I just confirmed with my MBP 16 Pro again and was able to get a max of 135W from it then dropped to 108W continuous. The original 140W Apple charger has a similar behavior and dropped to 118W continuous. I suspect this charging power limit is done by the laptop itself to optimize for battery longevity.
I think the 14" isn´t able to charge at 140Ws. The charger Apple sells with it only can deliver 70W for M3 oder M3 Pro with 11‑Core CPU or 96W for M3 Pro with 12‑Core CPU and M3 Max. So I think it is limited on the 14" and only 140W when using the 16".
can you explain the "you have to use a lighning connection" you said or else i can get max 100w... i have a laptop but its not a iphone/apple it is 140w so you say i can not get 140 watts with a "PD3.1 240w cable"? are you sure?
@@ToolsElectroDIY but there is cables that say "PD3.1 240w" what about them? I hear PD3.0 is limited to 100w and PD3.1 is 240w. it's really confusing are they just fake cables then? the big brands are doing these cables, ugreen, baseus..
Kind of wanted it, but the hardwired power cable took it off the table - I really can't stand hardwired power cables. Do I want the Ugreen 300w instead? - no, the overheating killed it. Sure I might never get to a usecase where this will happen, but I really don't like when products are not fit for purpose. When will someone make the right product?
Bro there's nothing in the market that supports more than 140w type c. Go read usb official specs. Pd3.2 supports 240w max but nobody has made devices that reach it. Mostly because of controllers but you probably don't know what I'm talking about 😂
@@datdudeinred That is correct. 140W will be 28V@5Amp devices and the 240@ will be 50V@4.82A but there is no devices there yet. I have cables that support it but not devices.
