The solution is 70% more efficient than its predecessor and is designed to fill 0% to 50% of a battery in just 5 minutes. The company claims that it can fill the entire battery at full load in less than 15 minutes.
Quick Charge 5
With support for 2S batteries and 20V power delivery, the Quick Charge 5 charges the phone up to four times faster than the Quick Charge 4, or up to 10 times compared to the first generation of technology. Even though the charging voltage is much higher, Qualcomm claims that QC5 runs 10-degrees Celsius cooler than its predecessor. Also, the technology comes equipped with voltage, current, and temperature protection features for safety. The new solution incorporates Qualcomm’s Battery Saver and Smart Identification of Adapter Capabilities standard to further extend the smartphone’s battery life. Quick Charge 5 is backwards compatible with Quick Charge 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 4.0+, and existing devices on the market. Quick Charge 5 technology is already supported on Snapdragon 865, Snapdragon 865+, and upcoming chipsets from Qualcomm will come pre-equipped with QC5 support. Currently, Qualcomm is testing the Quick Charge 5 solution and is expected to hit the market in the upcoming 2-3 months.
