0 to 100 in 9 minutes: Xiaomi’s 210W fast charging on the Redmi Note 12 Discovery Edition should be safe

According to Xiaomi, 210W fast charging should be safe

Despite the high wattage, Xiaomi promises very safe charging, especially since a variety of security functions have been integrated, as the machine-translated teaser above explains. The cell phone, battery and charger are all protected by different temperature and charging sensors, and a special charging cable is of course a prerequisite for unlocking full charging power. in one Log in to Weibo (See also machine translation below), the manufacturer also explains a little how the charging technology actually works.

The Dual-GAN charger operates at 210W at 20V and 10.5A, which is initially divided into 3 channels of 3.5A each and then converted to 10V7A each by 3 x 100W charging strips and then combined back into 10 Volt 21 amps. Xiaomi puts the conversion efficiency as high as 98.5 percent. The two batteries are said to be special low-resistance batteries that “can handle” a maximum of 300W and, thanks to the special chassis (unfortunately, the translation is a bit poor here), they don’t age prematurely. Last but not least, a 100V-240V charger shouldn’t be much larger than a 120W charger and, thanks to PD compatibility, should also be able to charge laptops.
