Belkin has launched a 45W GaN wall charger with a built-in retractable USB-C cable in China. The compact design aims to reduce cable clutter while delivering fast charging for modern smartphones and tablets.
GaN technology delivers 92% efficiency and cooler operation
The charger, model WCH023, uses gallium nitride components to achieve 92% power conversion efficiency. It runs about 10 degrees Celsius cooler than older non-GaN chargers, according to Belkin.
