Fast Charging technology is a must-have feature in today's mobile phones as they come bigger capacity battery. A standard USB 2.0 port typically outputs 5V at 0.5A. Fast Charging protocols boost the voltage and/or current to a higher value to fill up the battery quicker. With the Power Delivery (PD) specification, the total output power can go higher to cater for even a demanding device such as a laptop.
This module has solder points marked with + and - on the board for 6V to 35V DC input. You can connect the input to DC power adapter, batteries, solar panels, DC generators and so on. Very handy for outdoor, portable or emergency charging solutions. This board supports various fast charging protocols including Power Delivery PD3.0 with PPS, Quick Charge QC4+, QC3.0/2.0, Huawei FCP, Mediatek PE 2.0 and BC1.2. It is small enough to be embedded anywhere, including in a car. This is a buck controller module, so make sure that the input voltage is higher than the charging voltage supported by your device.
Other than battery charging, you can also use this module to power almost anything that requires 5V, 12V, 15V or 20V using the appropriate USB PD trigger cable.
Additional notes:
For optimum charging time, the charging module (this board), cable and target device must support one of the fast charging protocol. The target device will negotiate with this charging module what is the best output power that can be supported. For high voltage/current charging, make sure you use a high quality charging cable with low resistance
This is a buck converter module. Power source must be higher than the intended charging output. e.g. If you want to do 20V, 3A charging, your power source must able to supply at least 21V
High charging power will cause heat. Please make sure the working area is well ventilated
When both USB A and USB-C output ports are used at the same time, you will only get 5V output for both connectors
