Vinpower, Inc., through a strategic alliance with Phihong Technology, are back in the lab improving on their multiple award winning and highly anticipated release of the iXCharger 65W, which is a first of its kind compact combination external hard drive and battery charger for nearly every smartphone, tablet, and laptop computer. The upcoming enhanced iXCharger 140W offers multiple upgrades including 140W GaN power charger, two separate USB Type C connections with PD Fast Charging capabilities, up to 2TB of data storage capacity, and an enhanced Apple App for iOS iPhones and iPads. Yet, all iXCharger models will still offer the patented Trust Circle AES 256 KeyLock Data Protection technology to ensure the stored data is protected against unauthorized access or hackers.

Why upgrade? The iXCharger 65W is a marvel unto itself and provides the perfect combination of charging and data storage across nearly all portable computing devices, but the iXCharger 140W takes those capabilities to the next level. Firstly, because it comes with an upgraded 140W of GaN power capability, it can work as a battery charger for a greater range of laptop computers, some of which require more than 65W of power. Plus, most people carry multiple portable computing devices, like a smartphone and a tablet or laptop. Because there are two separate USB-C connections with PD Fast Charging capability, both devices can be charged quickly at the same time. Most chargers with multiple connections merely divide the total power equally across all connections, but that often creates a problem of offering either too little power or more power than needed. The iXCharger 140W developed a smart charge technology in which it divides the power in a manner better fitting real world usage. In dividing the power capacity into a static capacity of either 100W or 140W for the primary connection and 0W or 40W for the secondary connection, allows the user to maximize the actual power needed depending on the device being charged. Even with the increased power ratings, both the iXCharger 65W and 140W models passed the most stringent global safety testing protocols including UL, CE, FCC, CB, and many others. Securing these global safety regulations for a dual functioning product was a feat in itself, but shows the commitment from Vinpower and Phihong of ensuring the safety and reliability for every iXCharger we make.

"Phihong is proud of its partnership with Vinpower in developing the iXCharger 65W and the upcoming upgraded 140W models. Both iXCharger lines will revolutionize the way portable computing device users will be able to charge and securely access their data content across every platform. This new collaboration will make the iXCharger 140W beneficial to an even wider audience," exclaims Kevin Lin, the Vice President of Intelligent Power Solution BU and Manufacturing Center of Phihong Technology.

The iXCharger 140W also comes with an improved Apple iOS App that not only offers greater security and an automated data backup feature, but also can provide a digital display showing the current, wattage, and voltage used when connected as well as an option to manage the maximum charge status for all devices. That way, the user can see in real time the actual power consumption and usage while protecting older devices from being overcharged and reducing the batteries longevity.

"Vinpower has always prioritized environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives, which is why the iXCharger line is of great significance by extending the life of portable electronic devices and therefore reducing plastic and e-waste," proclaims Calvin Chang, C.E.O. of Vinpower, Inc. "The iXCharger 140W extends the longevity of current and older smartphones and tablets by making it easier to off-load content to clear up critical storage space, yet still have that content readily available if needed. Because of the additional storage available, users are more likely to keep their existing devices longer rather than replace them."

The GaN based iXCharger 140W is an even more energy efficient power charger and a large capacity backup storage solution for a wider range of mobile devices and laptop computers, including Apple iOS, Android, MacOS, Windows laptops, ChromeOS, and many other similar devices. This makes the iXCharger 140W the best option as a 2 in 1 solution for all your computing devices.
