The future of charging mobile devices will be based on the USB-C power delivery protocol.
I was thinking of buying a USB-C powerpack which I could use to charge my (3+ years old) Asus Zenbook - and future devices.
This gives a problem in that my current Zenbook is charged via a 19Volts DC barrel jack size 4mm/1.3mm. Standard charger has 65 watt capacity.
There are devices available called trigger modules connected
** input to the USB-C charger (or powerpack)
** output to a conventional DC power jack.
The trigger module handles the handshaking to the USB-C charger and can select any of 5, 9, 12 15 and 20 volts. Sometimes called ZY12PDN devices.
Does anyone have any experience of using such a module? Out of box it would be delivering 20 volts which is 1 volt more than specified input. Is that (real world) going to matter?
Interested to hear of anyone's experience here. Thanks.
