When it comes to charging our devices, we all want it to happen as fast as possible. There are plenty of fancy chargers on the market but many of them can’t do the job efficiently. Some of those that do can handle only one device at a time. The Innergie C10 Duo (Fold) addresses those issues. It is a 100W GaN dual USB-C charger for your iPhone 16, tablets, MacBooks, and other comparable devices. The good people behind it were kind enough to send us a unit to review. Let’s see what was included:
Our Innergie C10 Duo came in a very compact package. The charger itself looks very well-built. We found it to be considerably smaller than our old MacBook Pro charger. It is powerful enough to charge two laptops or a laptop and smartphone at the same time. We were able to charge our iPad Air to 50% in about 37 minutes. It also charges iPhones, Android devices, action cameras, and other devices that accept a USB-C connection.
The C10 Duo may look like a simple charger, but it is quite smart. It has 3 charging modes. You can charge one device at full 100W power. It is also possible to charge two identical devices at 45W each. Last but not least, you can mix and match your gadgets when charging them with this. In that case, it delivers 30W and 65W of power, respectively.
We tested our Duo with an iPad, MacBook, Android smartphone, and SJCAM action cams and had no issues. All these chargers get a bit warm, but we found nothing too alarming when we inspected this with our FLIR thermal camera. The ports are identical, so you can get up to 100W total, depending on your setup.
This GaN charger supports PD 3.0 with a PPS (programmable power supply) feature. It offers 5V/3A to 20V/5A charging depending on the devices that you connect to it. The plug folds down, allowing the adapter to fit in even the smallest bags. This adapter should be able to handle MacBook Pro 14″ (M1 Pro, 10-core CPU).
Overall, we found the Innergie C10 Duo to be quite handy when it comes to fast charging our devices. It is a beast when it comes to charging large tablets and even MacBooks, but you can use it for smaller devices. It doesn’t get too hot and gets the job done pretty quickly. Lower-power models such as C3 Duo are available if you need less power. If you are looking for a fast, versatile GaN charger to charge 2 laptops or tablets at the same time, you should give the C10 Duo a look.
