Our tester shows that when the USB-A port is connected to the Huawei Mate 40 Pro with a USB-A to USB-C cable, the input power is about 8.39V 2.34A 19.62W.

The USB-A port can support the SCP charging protocol, which can provide higher charging power for Huawei devices. The voltage of devices can reach about 5V or 9V.

We have compiled the test results into this bar chart. Devices that support the SCP charging protocol can get a higher charging power. The charging power of devices remains in the range of 9-20W. 

Multi-port Simultaneous Output Test

Next, we will test the power during multi-port charging.

When using the USB-C1 and C2 ports to charge two laptops, the charging power is about 62.88W and 60.78W respectively, which is in line with the nominal 65W+65W specification.

When using the USB-C1 and USB-A ports to charge a laptop and a phone, the charging power is about 89.73W and 19.69W respectively, which is in line with the nominal 100W+18W specification.

When using the USB-C1, C2, and USB-A ports to charge two laptops and a phone, the charging power is about 62.82W, 41.11W, and 19.66W respectively, which is in line with the nominal 65W+45W+18W specification.

When using all the ports to charge two laptops and two phones, the charging power is about 62.83W, 41.09W, 7.18W, and 9.66W respectively, which is in line with the nominal 65W+45W+15W specification.

Full Charging Test

Next, we'll use it to fully charge the 16-inch MacBook Pro M1 Max.

The charger and the laptop will be put into a 25°C (77℉) thermotank throughout the test. Here is the charging curve made by the PC software of KM003C.

The voltage is always around 28V. The charging curve can be divided into five parts. In the first part, the peak power stayed at 114W for the first 21 mins. Then, the power gradually drops to 96W, 65W, and 42W in turn. The final part begins at 1 hour and 4 mins, and the power slowly drops to almost zero. It takes 2 hours and 3 mins to be fully charged.

We plot it into another curve to see how fast it can be. It can charge the 16-inch MacBook Pro M1 Max to 50% in 28 mins and 80% in 52 mins, and it reaches 100% in 2 hours and 3 mins.

Next, we'll use it to fully charge the iPhone 15 Plus.

The voltage stays at 9V first. The charging curve can be divided into four parts. In the first part, the peak power stayed at 26W for the first 21 mins. Then, the power gradually drops to 22W, and 15W in turn. The final part begins at 43 mins, and the power slowly drops to almost zero. At about 50 mins, the voltage dropped from 9V to 5V. It takes 2 hours and 1 min to be fully charged.

We plot it into another curve to see how fast it can be. It can charge the iPhone 15 Plus to 50% in 26 mins and 80% in 53 mins, and it reaches 100% in 2 hours and 1 min.

Standby Power Test

Next, we will test its standby power consumption.

The power consumption at 220V 50Hz is 0.27W, and 0.02W at 110V 60Hz, which is about 2.37 and 1.75KW·h in one year, respectively. So, you do not need to worry about the waste of the electricity.

Conversion Efficiency Test

Then, we are going to the conversion efficiency test.

The conversion efficiency varies from 84.13% to 93.14% at 220V 50Hz, and the conversion efficiency varies from 83.85% to 91.29% at 110V 60Hz. The charger achieves a conversion efficiency of up to 93.14% under the two voltages, which is at the mainstream level for similar devices.

Ripple Test

Power adapters rely on switch-mode power supplies, which means that the output from the transformer's secondary winding is not direct current and must be rectified and filtered by capacitors before being outputted. As a result, ripples can exist in the output signal. To evaluate the quality of the adapter's output, ChargerLAB employs an oscilloscope to test the ripple value of the converter's output and compare it with industry standards. In general, the lower the ripple, the higher the output quality.

Firstly, let's check out its ripple without load. When the output is 9V 0A, the lowest ripple is around 29.6 mVp-p. When the output is 20V 0A, the highest ripples are around 96 mVp-p.

Then, move to the ripple test when loaded. When the output is 20V 5A, the highest ripple is 116 mVp-p. When the output is 12V 3A, the lowest ripple is 31.2 mVp-p. Overall, the performance isn't good enough, but it's not higher than 200mVp-p either.

Temperature Test

Then, we are going to the maximum temperature test. We put the charger into a 25°C (75℉) thermotank and under 220V 50Hz throughout the test. And recorded the highest temperature on the front and back after charging at 28V5A for an hour.

After one hour of charging, the maximum temperature on the front is 71.5 ℃ (160.7 ℉).

And the maximum temperature on the back is 70.4 ℃ (158.72 ℉).

Creating a bar chart to represent the data, it is evident that this charger reaches a maximum temperature of 71.5 ℃ when operating under 220V 50Hz voltage setting. This temperature complies with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 62368 standards for electronic and electrical equipment test, which stipulates that the temperature should not exceed 77 °C, but it is very close.

Summary of ChargerLAB

The MOVESPEED 140W PD3.1 charger has a rounded case and a green matte surface. It is equipped with four USB ports and comes with a dual USB-C cable. It supports automatic power distribution and can charge four devices at the same time.

The charger has no charging compatibility issues and is compatible with most charging protocols. And when multiple ports are used at the same time, it also supports the automatic distribution of charging power. The full charging time of the 16-inch MacBook Pro M1 Max with it is almost the same as that of the original 140W charger. And its size is smaller than the original 140W charger. Both standby power consumption and conversion efficiency are at mainstream levels. However, when at the 20V and 28V voltage values, the ripple is significantly higher than at other values, and the ripple performance is unstable. The temperature after charging for an hour is above 70 °C (158 ℉) but as a high-power desktop charger you won't be moving it around often, so temperature isn't a big issue. It can integrate the fast charging needs of phones, tablets, and laptops, so if you have many devices, it will be a good choice.
