Why choose a GaN charger?
Power-efficient GaN chargers generate less heat than traditional chargers, allowing the components inside to sit more closely together. That makes for more-compact chargers that still deliver all the power you need and meet all safety standards.
The technology is relatively new — Apple released its first GaN charger last month — but it’s quickly becoming the go-to for chargers that can deliver more power, faster, while also taking up less space in your travel bag.
Each Kovol Sprint charger provides an array of four ports — and plenty of power — to speedily deliver juice to multiple thirsty gadgets.

The Kovol Sprint 120W 4-Port PD Fast Laptop Charger offers 120W of charging power. That output rapidly charges a 16-inch MacBook Pro. It takes just 1.7 hours via a USB-C port (100W maximum). Or, the charger simultaneously provides up to 60W of power to two MacBooks via the two USB-C power delivery (PD) ports.
Better yet, the charger features intelligent power distribution. That enables the compact charger to allocate the optimal power needed to each device for maximized charging efficiency. You can charge up to four devices at once.
The 120W Kovol Sprint supports USB PD 3.0, Quick Charge (QC) 3.0 and PPS Fast Charging for USB-C devices. And Kovol’s Q-Pulse technology keeps your devices and surroundings safe with multiple safety features. They include protection against overcharging, high-temperatures and short circuits.

The Kovol Sprint 4 Port PD PPS GaN Faster Charger Block delivers 65W of charging power to up to four devices. It provides lower power at a lower cost than the 120W version, but its features and specifications are otherwise similar to those of its more powerful sibling.
This one charges a single 15.4-inch MacBook Pro from 0% to 100% in just two hours at a full 65W of power. Or, it can fast-charge an iPhone 13 from 0% to 50% in 30 minutes at 20W of power or higher.
