Anker PowerIQ

Anker's PowerIQ fast charging is a bit different from other fast charging technologies. It works with most phones that have fast charging circuits. PowerIQ identifies the connected device and varies voltage output for optimized charging speeds within supported Voltage/current intervals. It is compatible with the most common fast charging protocols: Apple 5V2.4A, QC, PD, PPS.

 

There are 5 generations of PowerIQ (PIQ):

• PowerIQ 1.0: (5V/2.4A) - up to 12W (UsbA-micro USB/lightning cable)

• PowerIQ 2.0 = PIQ1.0 +compatible with QC3.0 (5V1A, 5V2.4A, 5V2A, 9V2A, 12V1.5A) - up to 18W (UsbA-UsbC/micro USB/lightning cable)

• PowerIQ 3.0=PIQ2.0 and PD3.0, PD PPS  (5V2.4A,  9V3A, 15V3A, 20V5A, PPS 5-11V/5A) - up to 100W (UsbC-UsbC cable)

• PowerIQ 4.0=PIQ3.0 and Dynamic Power Distribution (automatically detects and adjusts the voltage output of connected devices and shortens the overall charging time redistribution excessive power budget among connected devices). For example Anker successfully implement PowerIQ4.0 technology with the top-tier charging adapter Anker Prime 240W GaN Desktop Charger.​

• Power IQ5.0 - updating Dynamic Power Distribution technology, the  power redistribution between ports happening every 2 minutes.
