Mi Fast charge, SuperCharge Turbo, Xiaomi HyperCharge, Surge Charge, MiPPS
As a competitor of Oppo, Xiaomi launched its own fast charging protocol. The first iteration was called the Mi Fast Charge and SuperCharge Turbo. These technologies are modifications of Qualcomm’s QC.
Later, Xiaomi developed a new proprietary charging protocol, the HyperCharge, which has a top charging speed of 120W based on the modified PD PPS protocol.
This high-power charging requires the use of an improved electrolyte formula and battery materials such as graphene for greater conductivity than traditional lithium-ion batteries. A Xiaomi/Redmi smartphone designed to havea dual-cell battery design.
In February 2023, Xiaomi presented the 300W and 210W HyperCharge charging technology. Each compatible smartphone has dual battery 15C cells, which are capable of handling 30A of charging current.
The Hypercharge protocol is used in Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO smartphones.
Xiaomi Hypercharge protocol can be implemented over UsbA as UsbC.
Xiaomi developed Surge Charge technology based on PPS (also known as MiPPS) and waived all licensing fees, making it available for third-party manufacturers to implement in their chargers and cables (for example, CUKTECH uses it in its charging adapters). This technology allows charging at up to 120W using a 6A USB-C to USB-C cable. If a standard 5A cable (100W or 240W) is used, the charging power will be limited to 100W.
