The latter will make it easier to identify authentic QC5 adapters and other solutions. The Quick Charge 5 supports Qualcomm Battery Saver and this year, it is introducing Smart Identification of Adapter Capabilities technology. Smart Identification of Adapter Capabilities technology “We work closely with manufacturers to create industry-leading devices that meet consumers’ demand for more immersive and accessible mobile experiences.” We are proud to expand our technology portfolio and make accessible 100W+ charging a commercial reality,” said Ev Roach, VP Product Management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “Quick Charge 5, our fastest and most versatile charging solution, will enable consumers to enjoy their devices for longer periods of time, without worrying about the time required to recharge. Qualcomm is also introducing new measures to ensure safety and authenticity of its quick charging solution. Quick Charge 5 enables Dual/Triple Charge technology, adaptive input voltage, INOV4 and runs 10 degrees Celsius cooler than Quick Charge 4. It also includes USB-input overvoltage protection at 25V and external power controls beyond 30W. Qualcomm says Quick Charge 5 also incorporates 12 separate voltage, current and temperature protections. In other words, your smartphone’s battery performance is not likely to breach 80 percent of performance at least for the first two years. Qualcomm says Quick Charge 5 will continue to offer industry standards of 500 to 800 recharge cycles. If you are a consumer, you would be wondering whether charging at such fast speeds is safe. It brings 10 times the power delivery of Quick Charge 1 and charges up to four times faster than the previous generation. With Quick Charge 5, companies will be able to design power delivery of 20 Volts or higher. While we initially saw more current being driven through battery cells for fast-charging, now the companies are increasing the voltage.
