New Kid on the Block | Baseus 140W IOTA Power Station ChargerLAB Compatibility 100
Introduction
Although ChargerLAB has conducted reviews and teardowns of various electronic accessories from Baseus, we have yet to explore their portable power stations. Recently, we acquired the Baseus 140W IOTA Portable Power Station and conducted a video-based compatibility test with 100 devices. Now, we will present an article version with more detailed tables and analyses to provide a comprehensive understanding of this portable power station's charging compatibility.
The Baseus 140W IOTA Portable Power Station features a UL-certified lithium iron phosphate battery, equipped with two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, two AC outlets, and one DC port, capable of powering up to 6 devices simultaneously. Additionally, it supports the latest PD3.1 protocol. Next, let's delve into the charging compatibility of this portable power station.
Charging Compatibility Test
ChargerLAB will select 100 devices, including smartphones, game consoles, wearable devices, tablets, and laptops, to conduct compatibility tests. The tests simulate various charging scenarios that users encounter in their daily lives, providing insights into the best charging methods.
Mobile Phones
Combining the test data into a chart, a total of 77 mobile phones were tested, and it is evident that most models trigger a 9V voltage value, with currents fluctuating between 2-3A.
Represented in a bar graph, the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ exhibits the highest charging power of 88.52W, far surpassing the second-place Samsung Galaxy S23+'s 32.11W, showcasing exceptional performance. Samsung, Apple, and most Xiaomi devices achieve charging powers of 20W or above, while the majority of other devices fall within the 17W, 14W, and 11W ranges. No compatibility issues were found except for a few older models with lower charging power.
