Tired of bringing multiple charging adapters while on the go?

We live in a society that relies heavily on technology where we each need multiple smart devices throughout the day. As the world begins to reopen and we find ourselves starting to work in different settings outside of home or travelling to different countries, the challenge of keeping our devices charged up whilst on the constant move becomes a problem. Do you find your luggage or backpack being taken up by different adapters for all your devices? 

Chargeasap’s solution? A tiny charger for powerful devices that’s portable, fast and built to last. Save valuable luggage space with this ONE charger for all your charging needs. 

Zeus is the world’s first 270W Gallium Nitride (GaN) charger and also the world’s smallest 270W charger that is up to 45% lighter than industry leaders. This makes it the perfect charger for anyone with today’s on the go lifestyle.

After studying the feedback from over 21,000 backers, we’ve reengineered our 200W charger to further compliment today’s powerful devices by adding a list of extra powerful and upgraded features. 

Zeus has not just 2 but 3 x USB-C Power Delivery 3.0 ports as well as 1 x USB-A port (supporting QC3.0, AFC, VOOC, SCP & FCP), allowing you to charge up to 4 devices at once. With 270W of power, there’s more than enough power to share around. 

Specially designed travel adapters with a very secure unique slide and lock mechanism are included with each Zeus.  There are 4 plug converters (US/AU/EU/UK) so that you can use it in 200+ countries worldwide making Zeus the perfect charger for travellers exploring the re-opened world.

With 1 x 140W USB-C Power Delivery 3.0 PPS port and 2  x 100W USB-C Power Delivery 3.0 PPS ports, a single 270W Zeus charger can power 3 laptops (most recent 16″ MacBook Pro x 2 & Macbook Pro 13″) simultaneously, and at full speed. This is a gamechanger in charger technology, making it the first portable charger in the world to output 270W.

Zeus can deliver a powerful 140W Power Delivery 3.0 from a single USB-C port while many of the competition struggle to even reach 100W. Additional USB-C ports are both able to reach 100W. There’s also a 36W USB-A supporting Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 that’s been specially designed to also be compatible with Oppo (22.5W), OnePlus (22.5W), Vivo (22.5W) and Huawei (22.5W).

This one charger can can quick charge a large laptop (16″ MacBook Pro),  or Dell XPS 13/15), a second laptop (13″ Macbook Pro or Dell XPS 13/15) a flagship phone (iPhone 14 Pro) and another flagship phone (Huawei P30 Pro) all at the same time! It will also work with any modern USB device such as…

Cameras, GoPros, Speakers, Headphones, Nintendo Switches, Microphones and even Drones, you name it.

Why spend money buying several different chargers for each device when you’ll only need ONE charger with Zeus. 

Zeus is more powerful than all these chargers combined!

Zeus is fully functional and ready to go

We have already produced 50 final working samples that are currently being distributed to major media publications, influencers and our beta testers for hands-on testing. We can’t wait to share some reviews with you very soon!

With the final mold for Zeus finalised and approved, we can ensure we will  head straight into production as soon as the live campaign concludes.

When Chargeasap comes up with the idea and design for each new product, a significant amount of time is spent researching which is the best factory to work with to execute it. This is our 11th crowdfunding project and we’ve partnered up with a larger and much more experienced and professional factory we have worked with in the past on other campaigns. Every single process of the production of Zeus from beginning to end will be completed within the one factory to minimise the chance of delays which may occur when a process is outsourced. We’ve got plenty of experience under our belts on how to manufacture high-quality mobile phone accessories and fulfil thousands of orders. After being blindsided more than once by completely unexpected issues with manufacturing and shipping, especially with the uncertainties caused by COVID, we have learnt valuable lessons in how to be better prepared in order to mitigate risks.

We’re looking forward to another kickass campaign.  🙂

So how does Zeus blow the competition out of the water? Check this out, Zeus has…

Better Features, Better Specifications and Better Value For Money

Too often we’ve experienced instances where a device was not charging due to a damaged cable or a device was taking longer to charge than usual.  

Zeus has an 0.9″ OLED display giving you real time information about the power output from each port measured in Watts and Amps when charging a device as well as a fast-charging status indicator (lightning bolt). This display is updated 5 times each second so you’ll always know exactly how fast your devices are charging everytime. 

Technology is a fast paced industry, which requires us to remain up to date with all new releases. A single USB-C port is able to output a whopping 140W to charge devices such as the most recent Macbook Pro 16″ at max speed.

Zeus has 3 x USB-C ports to support high powered charging to a range of devices at the same time. A single USB-C port is able to support 140W Power Delivery 3.0 while the additional USB-C ports are both able to support up to 100W. Each USB-C port also supports the maximum charging speed of 20W for the iPhone 14 range. 

This allows you to charge a large laptop (e.g. most recent 16″ MacBook Pro or Dell XPS), a second laptop (Macbook 13″) and a flagship phone (iPhone 14 Pro) or tablet (iPad) all at the same time at maximum speed. Configure your set-up with endless possibilities.

Zeus has a specially designed USB-A port with Android users in mind with a 36W power output to support Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 as well as the latest proprietary fast charging technology including Oneplus (22.5W), OPPO SVOOC (22.5W), and Huawei Super Charge (22.5W).

At only 320g (0.7lb), Zeus is 45% lighter than industry leaders so you can easily fit this charger into any bag and bring it with you wherever you go. Its so compact its comparable to a pack of Eclipse mints making it the perfect charger for work, home and travel.

Zeus is 45% lighter than industry leaders

Similar to our previous range, Zeus features our 2-way foldable prongs which can be adjusted at a 90° or 180° angle allowing you to fit Zeus Charger into any tough to fit wall plug whether its on the floor or wall.

Why our customers loved our Omega 200W!

The magic to Zeus’s powerful specs is through incorporating the same Navitas GaNFast NV6127 power ICs that were used in Omega. Zeus is the first portable charger in the world to feature not two, but four GaNFast NV6127s to maximise efficiency and ensure heat generation is controlled in a small form factor.  

The NV6127 is the latest GaN power chip from Navitas and has superior heat dissipation, and is the powertrain in a high-frequency quasi-resonant (HFQR) flyback topology – a high-efficiency, cost-optimized GaN structure.

In order to make the smallest 270W charger ever, the circuit board and components are laid out in a very compact and space-efficient manner. By incorporating only industry-leading components we can deliver superior performance in a pocket-sized charger. The dense circuit board is then surrounded by high-density, thin heat sinks to aid in heat dissipation. An industry-first graphene membrane is strategically wrapped around major charger components to further aid in cooling. 

To further aid in heat dissipation, Zeus uses PCB copper with a 4 oz thickness to bear greater current density and conduct heat versus competitors which may only use PCB copper with 1-2 oz thickness.

The charger is then wrapped in a minimalist fire-resistant pure polycarbonate (PC) enclosure. Six UV processes are added to the outer shell to complete the design and increase heat and wear resistance. 

Zeus also incorporates one x NXP TEA2017 and  one x NXP TEA2095, which are digital chips used to manage the circuits more efficiently and safely in a reliable way versus analog circuits still being used by many in the industry. 

Getting to this final form factor was no easy task; we worked on many different versions over a year leading to a lot of funds being used in mold fees that weren’t eventualized, and all but one failing to create the product in the perfect portable size we were after.

Aside from upgrading the tech in Zeus, we’ve also improved the design by making changes based on feedback we’ve received so we can enhance the user’s experience.

• We’ve improved the structural design and redesigned the panel component so it is secure and will not come off 
• The travel adapters have been redesigned to be smaller with a much more secure unique slide and lock mechanism
• The outer shell of Zeus is made using only polycarbonate (PC) without any acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) to increase durability and heat-resistance
• Heat dissipation has been further improved with the inclusion of additional material such as thicker copper and graphene aerogel insulation film. 

To optimize GaN for high speed, high efficiency and high reliability, Navitas created GaNFast power ICs. Here, the GaN power switch (FET) is carefully, monolithically integrated with GaN logic and GaN analog circuits on a single GaN chip to form a true GaN power IC. These ‘digital-in power-out’ building blocks – known as GaNFast™ power ICs – deliver robust, high-efficiency performance up to 2 MHz.

The Zeus 270W is the first portable charger in the world to feature not one but four GaNFast NV6127s – designed by Navitas in Los Angeles, California – enabling the 270W power to be reached with minimal heat and maximum efficiency.

Zeus impressive power output is achieved using Gallium nitride (GaN) as it is a new semiconductor material that switches 100x faster and has much lower resistance and capacitance than old, slow silicon chips. For fast-charging, this means more power is delivered to the battery, charging it faster, instead of burning up that energy as heat which warms the charger in your hand. Faster (higher-frequency) switching means the energy-storing passive components in a charger (transformer, EMI filters, capacitors, etc.) can shrink dramatically as they store much less energy in each switching cycle.

One of the big advantages of GaN technology is its superior AC-DC efficiency – over 92%. Zeus loses 16% less energy than Apple and Anker, resulting in cool case temperatures, even at full power – anywhere in the world (measured at 110V and 220V inputs).

Calculation: 

When 3 x USB-C ports are used: input power = 289.2W, output power = 270W,  so efficiency is 270W/289.2W = 93.4%

C1 + C2 or C1 + C3: input power = 255.6W, output power = 240W so efficiency is 240W/255.6W = 93.9%

Tested in our lab under the same conditions, the version of 100W Hyperjuice we have on hand reaches only 88% at 110V, which is a 33% increase in energy loss – a much higher case temperature.

Chargeasap is proud to once again partner with Navitas Semiconductor and utilize the high-speed, high-efficiency performance of GaNFast power ICs. GaNFast technology has been adopted by industry leaders including Lenovo, Xiaomi and OPPO.

Navitas is the world’s first & only GaN Power IC company, founded in 2014. Navitas has a strong and growing team of power semiconductor industry experts with a combined 300 years of experience in materials, devices, applications, systems and marketing, plus a proven record of innovation. Over 185 Navitas patents are issued or pending.

GaNFast™ power ICs integrate gallium nitride (GaN) power and drive, with control, sensing and protection to enable up to 3x faster charging, 3x higher power density, up to 40% greater energy savings in half the size and weight of legacy silicon chips.

One of Zeus’s pioneering technologies is being the first charger to include a graphene aerogel insulation film under the OLED display. This ultra-light weight material is super thin with ultra-low thermal conductivity and good heat insulation properties. Zeus also includes a graphene membrane which is like a ribbon cooling sheet that’s been carefully interlaced within the internal components to dissipate heat.

This feature is combined with a high density nano heat sink commonly found in 1st generation GaN chargers which together ensure true heat dissipation particularly when used with high wattage devices.

The industry standard for charger maximum temperature is 95ºC externally. Zeus 270W at full power output will remain below 75ºC externally due to superior components that include a more advanced GaN IC,  a graphene membrane ribbon sheet and the inclusion of additional material such as thicker copper and graphene aerogel insulation film. 

One of the flaws of 1st Generation multi-ouput GaN chargers is their lack of accurate intelligent power distribution. By not limiting the USB-C port when the USB-A port is used, its easy to confuse the charger which is why many competitor brand users have experienced many issues with their charger not working to their expectations. The solution is to specify the limit for each port and ensure they are independent, so there is no preference for power. 

270W Power Distribution

• C1 = 140W
• C2 or C3 = 100W
• A1 = 36W 
• C1 + C2 or C3 = 140W + 100W
• C1 + C2 + C3 = 140W + 65W + 65W
• C1 + A1 = 140W + 36W
• C1 + C2 or C3 + A1 = 140W + 65W + 36W
• 4 ports used simultaneously: 140W + 65W + 12W + 12W

Our Zeus 270W has a laptop-first power distribution which means the C1 port will be prioritised at 140W to ensure your laptop will always charge as fast as possible and not be interrupted by devices being plugged or unplugged.

One of the shortfalls of current GaN chargers is a long recalibration time. This means when there is a device plugged into 1 USB-C port and you plug in another port it will not work for a few seconds.

Zeus 270W has 0 recalibration time between C1 and C2 and 0.5sec for C3 and A1.

This is vs Hyperjuice 100W which from our testing has a recalibration time of 3sec as it uses 1 circuit for all the ports rather than dedicated circuits for each USB-C port.
