But… why?

Ghoelian ,

Isn’t higher current bad for battery longevity? How long will this thing last if you regularly charge it like that?

RamblingPanda ,

You can potentially split the battery into multiple cells so that you don’t charge them with the full voltage (if I understood correctly what OnePlus introduced some years ago). But still, that’s a lot. And potentially a lot of heat you have to disperse as well.

I don’t think we have the stats yet, but it most likely will not increase the lifespan of the battery ;)

My guess would be something like 500 cycles, which would roughly translate to 1-2 years, until the battery degrades noticeably.

16 Amps at 20V … what type of cables will they use? USB-C cables won’t allow this much current.

14awg to about 20’

cron ,

The metric equivalent to 14 awg is 2.5mm²

SirDerpy ,

I hypothesize that they’re using three or four USB PD, 20V 5A circuits in parallel. This would keep the hardware cheap.

But, a single USB cable could only handle two circuits. I’m with you. I wonder what cables they’ll use.

14g would be great “Yeah lemme just hook up this lamp cord to my phone real quick”
