Specs
Everything about the PortaFold in one place. Numbers marked (estimate) are rough and still being checked.
Charging
| Phone | Qi2 magnetic, up to 25 W |
|---|---|
| Apple Watch | Apple-certified MFi module, 5 W |
| Earbuds | Qi wireless, up to 5 W |
| Wired outputs | 2x USB-C PD, 1x USB-A |
| Total output | 65 W, shared across every pad and port |
| Input | USB-C PD, 100 W adapter recommended |
Power budget
- Phone pad 25 W
- Watch pad 5 W
- Earbuds pad 5 W
- USB-C port 30 W
- All at once 65 W
Everything charging at once: phone 25 W + watch 5 W + earbuds 5 W + USB-C 30 W = 65 W.
With the pads idle, the USB-C port can use the full 65 W for a laptop.
The 100 W adapter is recommended because wireless charging loses some energy as heat, so the input needs room above 65 W.
