Based on the V and A. It is able to charge the power bank in all modes until the highest speed.

Thanks for the confirmation! Glad to know that...

Just curious did it cause any damage/harm to power bank since I used the incorrect 5V 1.5A charger to charge this Mi Powe Bank 3 before? Cos I ain't sure whether my smartphone battery is just "old" or caused by the power bank (which I used the incompatible charger to charge the power bank)...

Charging the Power Bank using below the required Amp will be bad for the Power Bank in the long run. However, i don't see how it affects the battery in your phone. You phone battery probably dying already. Most phone battery will reduce performance after 1 year if you are lucky. Heck, any batteries including laptops etc.

One more question, I'm quite noob in this... The 20W PD charger arrived but I bought this UGREEN cable (type C to C) separately which yet to arrive..

May I ask if I can use just any USB C to USC C cable? I have this cable from my laptop, not sure if I could use it (connect to this 20W PD charger) and charge my smartphone and power bank?

Please advise.

yes, because USB C minimum rating is 3A and 20V (60W). If you need higher than 60W, then you will need to get a PD(100W) cable with minimum 5A and 20V.

Great! So I can also use this 20W PD charger + USC-C to type C cable to charge the laptop too?

If so, I am just wondering if I didn't have to specially get a 20W PD charger for my smartphone but use the laptop charger instead? Anything I'd pay attention to find out whether they are compatible?

And may I ask since I can use the UGREEN 20W PD charger to charge this Mi 18W Fast charger power bank 3 (Output using USB A - not sure if that makes any difference, just thought to highlight), does it mean I can use the power bank to charge my smartphone that supports 20W PD fast charging?

Sorry to ask so many questions, nowadays smartphones do not come with charger & cable is making me so confused.. Plus I have some new and old gadgets at home, seriously very confusing...  rclxub.gif

Dude. Why you ask such confusing and non logical question.
Your power bank is your power bank, nothing to do with the charger. How in the world does your powerbank suddenly becomes PD enabled if it's not in the first place and can charge in PD mode to your phone?

Your Ugreen charger if is PD enabled, will be able to charge your phone if your phone is also PD mode.

Your power bank, will only be able to charge your phone according to one of the 3 Voltage mode it's available.

PD is very simple. PD standard allows devices to communicate and establish a contract to charge according to the correct Voltage and Amp automatically base on their capabilities. Non PD devices only support certain fix voltage and will use whatever that is nearest to the device to be charge, hence may not be optimise.

Remember something about electronics. Voltage must always match. If over volt, your device will fry. If undervolt, your device might not perform correctly. Amp of your charger must always be more than what is required by your device because only the required amount of amp is drawn.

Seriously, if you Google a bit, you can find find all the answers.

Now stop asking question and plug that charger into the phone and charge!
