Modern people's dependence on various charging devices is obvious, requiring lightweight, portable, small size, and supporting high-power fast charging of multiple devices. Some time ago, AIGO Patriot launched a mini fast charging socket, with 3 AC+2 USB interfaces, and the volume is only half of the traditional power strip, which is very distinctive. So, is it good to charge mobile phones with AIGO socket USB? What is the charging power of the AIGO mini fast charging socket? Is it necessary to buy? Next, please take a look at the unboxing evaluation of the AIGO Patriot mini fast charging socket.
The model of this AIGO mini fast charging socket is AC0320P20, and the product adopts a simple family packaging design, and the overall use of white + orange and red collocation, which is full of vitality. The front of the box is the appearance of the socket, and the upper left corner is the brand logo and slogan of AIGO.
The back of the package is the detailed parameter information of the product, which uses orange-red background + white text to introduce the relevant performance of this socket in detail.
The accessories in the box are simple and practical, only the socket body and the manual, the warranty card integrated manual, but the manual is generally not seen by anyone.
This socket is really mini, so much so that I took it out a little bit unconvinced. The product size is 974×43.1×25.2mm, very small, it does not occupy an area on the desktop, and it is also very easy to use in the cracks. The weight of the socket with a wire is only 1436g, close to 3 taels, is really very light.
The socket shell is made of high-temperature flame-retardant PC material, and the texture is very delicate in the hand. The top of the front of the socket is the AIGO logo, and the jacks are arranged vertically, from top to bottom are the national standard dual-port AC jack, USB-C interface and USB-A interface, which can meet most of the life needs.
The two ports of USB-A and USB-C in the DC charging part are blue and yellow respectively to highlight their fast charging characteristics. Among them, the USB-A interface supports a maximum of 18W output for a single port, and the USB-C interface supports a maximum of 20W output.
There is also a national standard dual-port AC jack on each side of the socket, which is also arranged vertically. The AC jack is equipped with a 75N safety protection door, which requires a certain amount of effort to be successfully inserted, so there is no need to worry about the wrong hole for children, and it is safer to use electricity. The integrated copper strip is used inside the socket, which has less heat generation, smaller resistance, strong conductivity and longer life.
The extension cable is about 90cm long and has a flat wire design, which is more convenient to use and store. The wire is printed with CCC certification logo, cable length and applicable voltage range, the connection is thickened, and the core thickened power cord is used inside, which is more durable and wear-resistant.
The back of the socket is printed with the brand logo and specifications, which are basically the same as the content on the back of the package. The four corners of the socket are fixed with triangular screws to prevent accidents caused by ordinary users disassembling and repairing. However, the back is not blocked with a non-slip pad, and I hope it can be made up for in subsequent versions.
The plug adopts the national standard two-pin plug, which is L shaped, which is more suitable for use in narrow spaces. The plug is also printed with the CCC certification logo, and the maximum load is 250V 10A, which can fully meet the daily charging needs of users.
Since the 3 AC jacks of the socket are placed on three sides, they are not affected by the hole spacing at all during daily use, and each jack can be fully utilized.
Next up is the performance measurement. The Power-Z FL001D USB detector was used to detect the charging protocol supported by the USB-A interface, and it was shown that it supports QC20/3.0. Fast charging protocols such as FCP, SCP, AFC, PE, etc., of which the QC protocol supports up to 12V, which can directly charge mainstream Android devices such as Huawei, Xiaomi, and Samsung.
The Power-ZKM002LiteUSB detector was used to detect the charging protocol of the USB-C interface, and it was shown that it supports PD30、qc3.0. FCP, AFC, PE fast charging protocol, of which PD protocol supports 5V 3A, 9V 222a and 12v 167A three sets of fixed voltage, the highest output power of 20W, the gospel of Apple users.
Use two USB ports to charge the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition phone, this phone supports up to 67W fast charging, but due to the limitation of OPPO's private protocol, the USB-A interface does not start fast charging, and the power is only about 10W. In other words, the support of the general fast charging protocol of the blue-green factory has been relatively low.
Switched to USB-C port charging, the charging power reached 1362W, the phone shows fast charging, and the detector also shows that PD3 is activated0 fast charging protocol. Therefore, when using a non-original charger to charge the equipment of the blue-green factory, it is recommended that you choose the USB-C interface.
Next, use the two USB ports to charge the Honor V6 tablet, which supports up to 225W fast charging, although it belongs to Huawei's SCP private protocol, the USB-A interface still starts the FCP fast charging protocol, and the charging power reaches 128w；The USB-C interface also starts the PD fast charging protocol, and the charging power is 118w。In both cases, the tablet displays the fast charging status, which is perfectly supported.
These two USB ports also have very good support for low-current charging devices, and when charging small photography lights, shavers, gamepads and other devices, the low-current charging mode is smoothly turned on, so you can charge them with confidence without having to prepare a separate charger.
Through the dual-port AC jack, you can power more powerful devices, such as smart speakers, desk lamps, laptops, cameras, drones, etc., and the scope of application is still very wide.
In the process of charging and converting, the charger will have a phenomenon of power loss and heating, and I have also tested the heating of this fast charging socket. The room temperature at the time of the test was 25 at 220V 50Hz and 12V 1One hour after the 67A load is output, the temperature on the surface of the charger is collected.
The maximum temperature on the surface of the charger was measured using a thermal imager of 714. The maximum temperature of the surface on the other side is 513. All of them are lower than the requirements of the IEC International Electrotechnical Commission for the temperature of electronic and electrical equipment not higher than 77.
Finally, let's conduct a no-load power consumption test, after all, we usually use a charger to charge the device, and the charger is rarely unplugged. So, if this fast charging socket is plugged in all the time, will it cause a waste of power? How much will it be wasted? The standby power test is designed to answer this question.
After the power meter test, the no-load power consumption of the AIGO mini fast charging socket at 220V 50Hz voltage is only 001W, which is much smaller than the 0. specified in the GB20943-2017 standard5。Converted, the amount of electricity lost in a year is about 009kw·h, with the municipal electricity price of 06 yuan kw·h calculation, the waste of electricity for this socket is about 5 cents a year, which is negligible.
Finally, let's wrap it up. This AIGO Patriot mini fast charging socket is small and lightweight, and can be easily placed in corners such as the head of the bed, the corner of the table, and the gap of the sofaThe 9 meter extension cord was just right for me. This socket has 3 AC jacks and 2 USB interfaces, the two USB ports support up to 18W and 20W fast charging, which can take into account the two major platforms of Android and Apple, and also set up a 75N safety protection door to avoid children from plugging by mistake, and it is safer to use electricity. The arrangement of the 3 AC jacks is also very clever, which is located on three sides of the socket, which is well compatible with large charging heads, and there will be no fights when using.
