Over the past few weeks, I’ve been putting the 20W QC 3.0 Dual Port Fast Charger, model number FAC-2311A, through its paces. This compact charger promises fast charging for both USB-C and USB-A devices, and I was eager to see if it lived up to the hype. My testing involved charging a variety of devices, from my iPhone 13 to an older Android tablet, to gauge its overall performance and compatibility.

The FAC-2311A boasts several key features. The dual-port design allows for simultaneous charging, a definite plus for busy individuals. The inclusion of both USB-C (supporting Power Delivery) and USB-A (with QC 3.0) ports ensures broad compatibility with a wide array of devices. Its compact size is ideal for travel, easily slipping into a bag or pocket. The wide input voltage range (100-240V) is a welcome addition, making it suitable for international use. The build quality feels surprisingly solid for such a small and inexpensive charger.

Charging speeds were generally impressive. My iPhone 13 consistently reached the advertised 50% charge in approximately 25 minutes using the USB-C port. Other devices, such as my Android tablet and wireless earbuds, also charged at a noticeably faster rate compared to using a standard 5W charger. Simultaneous charging of two devices did not seem to significantly impact charging speeds, though it’s worth noting that charging two devices with high power demands might lead to slightly slower charging times than charging a single device.

The charger remained cool to the touch even during extended use, indicating efficient heat dissipation. I tested the charger with various cable types, and experienced no issues with compatibility or charging performance. The only minor issue I encountered was a slight hum which could be heard while the charger is operating, but this was relatively quiet and did not affect performance in any way. This is something that one might want to take into consideration if the charger would be operating in a very quiet environment.

Pros:

• Fast charging speeds for both USB-C and USB-A devices.
• Compact and portable design.
• Wide input voltage range for international travel.
• Dual-port design for simultaneous charging.
• Good build quality.

Cons:

• Slight hum audible during operation.
• No included charging cables.

Overall, the FAC-2311A 20W QC 3.0 Dual Port Fast Charger is a solid performer. Its speed, portability, and dual-port functionality make it a great choice for anyone looking for a versatile and efficient charging solution. While the slight hum is a minor drawback, it doesn’t detract significantly from the overall positive experience. I would confidently recommend this charger to friends and family.
