I’ve been trying to learn more about which USB Power Delivery features are actually supported on Anker PD products. There is very little information to be found, what is is filled with myth and it’s all very confusing.
I understand that currently the best PD phone charger (available in my country) is the Anker PowerPort II PD and that the lack of a version number in it’s PD specification doesn’t technically mean it’s not PD 2.0 or 3.0 .
I also understand that new incompatible features is not exactly the point of Power Delivery. However from what I can Google, Power Delivery has everything from new voltage profiles in 2.0 which are potentially not provided in Power Delivery 1.0, to fancy features like the charger monitoring the battery temperature and adjusting the power accordingly in 3.0 .
One answer by Anker on Amazon states that the Anker PowerPort II PD supports USB 3.1, which corresponds with Power Delivery 3.0 . If this is true not including this information on the product page seems like a huge marketing fail as there are people with new phones specifically looking for a Power Delivery 3.0 charger, which you’d think the version-less Anker PowerPort II PD is not.
I also happen to have one of the 150 Power Delivery supported phones which are not iPhones or Pixels, so the list of supported phones is of no help to me whatsoever. Though I think for most consumers the number of different fast-charge standards has made it essentially impossible for a non-technical person to wrap their mind around, so most just assume every non-working combination is due to the charger being a forgery which as you might agree doesn’t help your brand recognition for what it really is.
Anyway, I would appreciate some reliable information on this…
