🔌 1. What is the difference between a regular charger and a fast charger?

Traditional chargers usually deliver 5V/2A (10W), while a fast charger uses Power Delivery (PD) and Quick Charge (QC) technologies.
They adjust voltage and current according to the device, making charging up to 5-10 times faster without overheating.

⚙️ 2. What does GaN charger mean?

The GaN (Gallium Nitride) charger is a new generation solution that conducts electricity better than traditional silicon.
Its advantages include:

🔋 Smaller size and weight

💨 Less heat

⚡ Higher efficiency (more power in the same time)

🔒 Stable and safe power supply

🔥 4. Why does the charger get hot – and when is it normal?

A slight warming of the charger is completely normal because electrical current is converted into heat.
But if the charger is too hot to touch , it could be a sign of poor component design.
That's why a high-quality GaN charger is the best choice – it stays cooler and lasts longer.

💡 5. Safety first

When choosing a charger, make sure it supports PD and QC protocols and is made of high-quality components.
Cheap chargers can cause short circuits or excessive heating – especially if they don't have overcurrent and thermal protection.

Arctic Shield series chargers have these protections built in, and all models have been tested for compatibility with the most common phone brands.
