YS065 65W GaN Triple Port USB C Charger Review

For weeks, I’ve been putting the YS065 65W GaN Triple Port USB-C Charger through its paces. My typical day involves charging multiple devices—smartphone, tablet, headphones, and sometimes even my laptop—so a powerful and versatile charger was long overdue. This review will delve into my experiences with this compact powerhouse, examining its performance, features, and overall value.

The YS065 boasts a compelling array of features. The triple-port setup (two USB-C and one USB-A) is incredibly convenient, allowing for simultaneous charging of multiple devices. The ability to output 45W + 20W via the USB-C ports is a significant advantage, enabling fast charging for even the most power-hungry devices. The inclusion of an 18W USB-A port ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices, including older gadgets that may not support USB-C fast charging. The compact size is also a standout feature—it’s surprisingly small and lightweight, easily fitting into any bag.

The built-in indicator light is a nice touch, providing visual confirmation that the charger is working. The advanced GaN technology is a significant plus, promising improved efficiency and safety. In practice, this translates to less heat generation and faster charging times compared to traditional silicon-based chargers.

In real-world use, the YS065 performed admirably. Charging speeds were consistently fast, particularly with the 45W USB-C port. I regularly charged my iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPad Pro simultaneously without any noticeable drop in charging speed. The heat generation was minimal, even during extended use. The charger remained cool to the touch, a testament to the efficiency of GaN technology. I also tested charging various other devices, including a Samsung Galaxy S23 and a MacBook Air, all with excellent results. The compatibility was impressive, as advertised.

One minor point to note is that when charging three devices simultaneously, the power distribution seems to prioritize the USB-C ports, slightly reducing the charging speed on the USB-A port. However, this is a minor trade-off considering the simultaneous charging capability.

Pros:

  • Fast charging speeds.
  • Triple-port design for simultaneous charging.
  • Compact and portable size.
  • Wide device compatibility.
  • Minimal heat generation.
  • Clear charging indicator light.

Cons:

  • Slightly reduced charging speed on the USB-A port when charging three devices simultaneously.
  • (Potentially add any other minor drawbacks you experience)

Overall, the YS065 65W GaN Triple Port USB-C Charger is an excellent choice for anyone needing a powerful, versatile, and compact charger. Its performance, feature set, and compact design make it ideal for both home and travel use. The wide device compatibility and fast charging speeds significantly improve my daily charging routine. While the minor power distribution issue exists, it does not significantly detract from the overall positive experience. I highly recommend the YS065 to those seeking a superior charging solution.
