Time to read 3 min
When it comes to charging devices, terms like watts, volts, and amps are often mentioned—but what do they actually mean? More importantly, how do these concepts work together to ensure your devices charge quickly and safely?
At Strike , we specialise in fast chargers for phones, tablets, and laptops, offering solutions for both wall outlets and vehicles. As a trusted provider, we aim to not only deliver premium charging products but also empower you with the knowledge to make informed choices.
The Basics: Watts, Volts, and Amps
Understanding the fundamentals of electrical power can help you choose the right charging technology for your needs. Here’s a quick breakdown:
Volts (V): This measures electrical potential or pressure. Think of it as the force pushing electricity through a wire.
Amps (A): Short for amperes, this measures the flow of electricity or the current.
Watts (W): This measures electrical power and is calculated by multiplying volts and amps:
Watts (W) = Volts (V) × Amps (A)
Why This Matters for Fast Charging
Fast charging technology relies on optimising voltage, current (amps), or both to deliver more power (watts) to your device. Here’s why understanding these terms is crucial:
Power Delivery (Watts): Higher wattage means faster charging. For example, a 45W charger charges a laptop much faster than a 10W charger designed for a smartphone.
Voltage and Safety: Increased voltage enables more power to flow without requiring thicker cables. However, voltage must be carefully regulated to avoid damaging your device.
Amperage and Compatibility: A higher amperage allows more electricity to flow. Your device will only draw the current it needs, but using a charger with insufficient amperage will result in slower charging.
