Can plug the USB-C cable that got here with my laptop from the USB-C output port on the battery immediately into the USB port on the MacBook Air?
Verify with the producer first
The technical specs are missing intimately to say the least. Right here’s a abstract of what was discovered after some analysis:
-
For the EB70 it specifies 2 USB-C ports at 100W most.
- It DOES NOT specify if that’s 100W per port or 100W for each ports
- It DOES NOT specify USB-C PD (Energy Supply) compliance. This would point out that the port(s) is able to delivering as much as 100W of energy and will negotiate the ability supply with the gadget. Sadly, it makes no point out of this functionality.
- The USB-A ports specify 2 ports at 5V at 3A or 15W. Much like the USB-C ports, tt doesn’t specify whether or not that’s 15W per port or in complete. Both manner, one of the best that these ports can handle is simultaneous charging of two iPads.
-
The PSE701 is just not accessible on the producer’s web site. The closest mannequin is the PS70. Nonetheless, on the Amazon itemizing for the PSE701 (see picture under), it specifies one USB-C port with PD and QC 3.0 (fast cost). I’m assuming that that is USB-C Energy Supply Specification 3.0 (their wording appears jumbled). Nonetheless, on the picture, it specifies QC 3.0 on the USB-A ports.
Do you have to plug it in?
Till you get a definitive reply from the producer, it’s extremely advisable to make use of the ability adapter that got here together with your Mac.
Why?
The advertising verbiage is suspect. The specification within the picture says it’s compliant, however the verbiage from Amazon is just not fairly right; it doesn’t give a way of confidence that it is a nicely put collectively product and it’s really USB-IF compliant.
Moreover, as there isn’t a product web page for the PSE701 and the EB70’s technical specs are additionally imprecise as to what the USB-C energy capabilities are, it provides motive to pause earlier than plugging in an costly MacBook into this energy supply.
TL;DR
Use your MacBook USB-C charger in one of many (NEMA 1-15R) receptacles. The technical specs the place accessible are imprecise and never worded appropriately. Don’t danger an costly Mac on an influence supply that isn’t clear with what it will probably ship.
