Comment on Supercapacitors Batteries charges in seconds without degradingparent

Comments

You wouldn't use USB cables for that kind of current.

True, though USB — Power Delivery 2.0 handles up to 100W (20V@5A)

Yeah, and that would be plenty for a 'super fast' charge. You don't really need your phone to charge 'in seconds', this would get you there in around 5 minutes depending on battery size which is plenty quick enough.

(Working: ~3.6V * 3000mAh = 10.8Wh = 38.9kJ, at 100W that's 389 seconds for a full charge.)
