Black Shark launches new affordable charger with 45 W fast charging support

Black Shark has launched a new charger head in China, and it's part of the "Star Stream" lineup. The brick features a dual-port design, and both are USB Type-C ports. Both have support for 45 W fast charging, but that's applicable only when one device is connected.

When both ports are in use, the USB-C1 maxes out at 20 W, while the USB-C2 can offer up to 25 W of power, totaling 45 W. Black Shark notes that the charging head has support for major charging standards. That includes PPS, PD, QC, Apple 2.4, and SFC.

As for the design, the Black Shark 45 W GaN charger comes with a travel-friendly design. It has a foldable plug, similar to some of the offerings from Anker. The company further highlights the compact form factor of the charging brick, measuring 45.5x40x28 mm. It's lightweight as well, weighing 75 grams.

Price-wise, the Black Shark 45 W GaN charger has launched in China at CNY 89, which is around $12. The company has yet to share details on global availability and pricing, but it generally brings most of its products outside the Chinese market.
