Xiaomi HyperCharge, Surge Charge, MiPPS, Mi Fast Charge, Turbo Charging

What is Xiaomi HyperCharge

HyperCharge - Xiaomi's proprietary fast charging technology with power up to 210W, used in Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO smartphones.

Competing with OPPO, Xiaomi developed its own fast charging technologies. Before HyperCharge, Xiaomi used the names Mi Fast Charge and Turbo Charging.

​

Later, Xiaomi developed the proprietary HyperCharge technology, whose production implementations reached 210W.

Battery architecture and power-management design depend on the specific model. HyperCharge support does not by itself imply a mandatory dual-cell battery design.

 

210W HyperCharge debuted in the Redmi Note 12 Discovery Edition, introduced on October 27, 2022. In February 2023, Xiaomi also demonstrated 300W wired charging technology.

The HyperCharge protocol is used in Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO smartphones.

Xiaomi HyperCharge can be implemented over USB-A or USB-C.

​

What is Surge Charge (MiPPS)

Xiaomi also developed Surge Charge technology based on PPS, also known as MiPPS, making it available for implementation by third-party manufacturers in their chargers and cables (for example, CUKTECH, Candysign, and other manufacturers use it in their charging adapters and cables). This technology supports charging at up to 120W with a compatible 6A USB-C to USB-C cable. With a standard 5A cable (100W or 240W), charging power is limited to 100W.
