USB chargers like this Trust Maxo 20W are a perfect reminder of something that still surprises me to this day, which is that many people (I’ll admit I’ve done it at some point) don’t hesitate to spend a few hundred euros on a smartphone and/or tablet , but then save as much as possible when it comes time to buy a charger, which will of course be responsible for charging them. I think that’s a pretty apt comparison buy a Ferrari and put tires on it for 50 euros. If the latter seems crazy to you, I assure you the former does too.

The battery of these devices It is a much more sensitive component than we usually think.. When some smartphones from Samsung and other manufacturers suddenly started to catch fire years ago, we explained that one of the reasons was the use of cheap and low-quality chargers. This is of course the worst effect, but not the only one, another consequence, much more common, is the degradation of batteries at a much higher rate than if we used a quality charger.

Which brings me back to this Trust Maxo 20W, very small format charger35 mm wide, 30 mm high and 67 mm long, including the plug, and weighing only 41 grams (making it an excellent travel choice) that is able to provide fast charging up to 20 wattsspeed suitable for smartphones, tablets, wireless headphones, smart watches, quantizers and other devices of similar size and characteristics.

Trust Maxo 20W supports USB PD 3.0 charging protocol, but also implements PPS (Programmable Power Supply) about it, and this is the difference, because PPS provides intelligence to the charger by automatically dynamically regulating it based on feedback from the device charging parameters (voltage and current). This way, the battery is not subjected to receiving a higher than optimal input at any given time, which translates into more efficient charging, lower temperature and therefore a safer and more considerate battery charging process. of course with the device in which it is located).

As can be easily deduced from the name, the Trust Maxo 20W offers fast charging of up to 20 watts with an output that can be 5, 9 or 12 volts (automatically adjusted) and up to three amps, and to further enhance the safety aspect. , It has overload and short circuit protectionand of course all these parameters are adjusted automatically. It has a USB-C port for connection, the most universal option today.

Charger The Trust Maxo 20W is now on saleis available in black and white and has an MSRP of 19.99 euros.
