You have a new power bank, you plug in your Galaxy… and yet, the “ Super Fast ” indicator doesn’t always appear, or the speed seems to be capped. Frustrating? Normal: to reach the “promised” 45W , you need to meet very specific technical conditions on the power bank , cable , smartphone and temperature side. In this guide, LymobileShop explains exactly how to achieve this, with actionable checklists , ready-to-shop kits and concrete scenarios for PPS-compatible Galaxy & Android.
PPS, PD, “Super Fast”: simple translations
In the modern Android ecosystem, three concepts often collide:
- USB-C Power Delivery (PD) : the industry standard for fast charging via USB-C. It defines profiles (5/9/12/15/20 V, etc.) and current limits.
- PPS (Programmable Power Supply) : an extension of PD that allows the source to adjust the voltage in small steps (and the current) to match the exact needs of the smartphone. Result: less heat, more stability .
- Samsung's "Super Fast Charging" is a marketing label based on PD+PPS. Depending on the model, it can refer to a level around 25W or up to ~45W on compatible devices. The name can vary depending on the generation ("Super Fast", "Super Fast 2.0", etc.).
LymobileShop translation: to get the high level (up to 45W) on a compatible Samsung, you need a PD powerbank with PPS and a 5A e-marker USB-C cable (we'll come back to that).
The 5 prerequisites for reaching 45W on Samsung/Android
- Powerbank PD + PPS : explicitly check for "PPS" on the plug. Without PPS, many Galaxy devices are limited to lower levels (like ~25W).
- Sufficient power budget : aim for a power bank that advertises at least 45W on its main USB-C port (and more if you want to charge a second device at the same time ).
- 5A USB-C cable (e-marker) : essential to allow high currents to pass through. A "standard" 3A cable can lock you into ~25–30W.
- Power bank "master" port : Many devices only offer the maximum level on the USB-C1 port (often labeled C1). Plug it in yourself to test.
- Temperature & usage conditions : If it gets hot (summer, insulated case, gaming), the phone reduces power to protect itself. For quick boosts , charge in the shade, with the phone on the floor, and pause heavy apps.
Compatibility by device family (Galaxy S, A, Fold/Flip, other Androids)
Without listing dozens of references, here are the useful principles :
- Galaxy S (high-end) : depending on the generation/variant, some peak at around ~25W , others go up to ~45W with PPS . Recent Ultras generally aim for the highest level. If you don't see "Super Fast" or equivalent, check the cable/port/temperature.
- Galaxy A (mid-range) : profile often ~25W in PD/PPS. A quality 30–45W PD power bank + 3A/5A cable is more than enough.
- Fold/Flip : profiles close to the high-end S, often sensitive to temperature (shells, hinge, position). PPS + 5A cable to aim for the high level, charge laid down and ventilated.
- Other PPS-compatible Androids : Many brands adopt PD+PPS. The levels vary (often 25–45 W). A PD+PPS power bank + 5A e-marker cable duo will give you the best setup.
Important: Some brands' " proprietary protocols " (excluding PD/PPS) are not supported by all universal power banks. The advantage of PD/PPS is its broad compatibility. If your smartphone doesn't support a manufacturer's protocol via PD/PPS, you'll stick with the best available standard—which is already fast and thermally sound.
Actual speed, load curves and what you will see on the screen
Even when everything is perfect, the power isn't flat from start to finish. It's highest when the battery is low (e.g., 10–50%), then gradually decreases as it approaches 80–100% to preserve the battery (a general rule for all smartphones).
- Phase 1 (boost) : high flow (up to ~45 W if combined) → rapid rise to 50–60%.
- Phase 2 (stabilization) : power gradually decreases (thermal management & longevity).
- Phase 3 (end of charge) : gentler stage, sometimes a few watts, to finish “clean”.
The on-screen indication may display " Super Fast " (or equivalent) at first, then the speed sensation decreases - this is normal . If you want to "get the most out of" the Wh of your power bank, do boosts 20 → 80% and avoid pushing it to 100% when you're in a hurry.
Multi-ports & power sharing: don't get trapped
A power bank that advertises "45W" is generally talking about a single output on its main port. As soon as you plug in a second device (e.g., headphones, another phone), the power is shared and your Galaxy may fall back to a lower level (like ~25W). Read the distribution table on the technical sheet (frequent examples):
- USB-C1 solo : 45 W / C1 + C2: 25 W + 20 W / C1 + A: 25 W + 18 W.
- USB-C1 solo : 65 W / C1 + A: 45 W + 18 W / C1 + C2: 45 W + 20 W.
LymobileShop Tip: When aiming for the " Super Fast " label, plug your Galaxy alone into port C1 (master) with a 5A cable . Once the boost is over, you can reconnect your other devices.
3A vs 5A cables, e-marker, lengths: the hidden bottleneck
The cable often decides the outcome:
- 3A (≈ 60W) : Sufficient for many Androids if the phone targets 25–30W. But on a Galaxy that targets 45W, a 3A can limit the negotiation.
- 5A (100–240 W) with e-marker : essential if you want to allow high currents to pass through and ensure stability.
- Length : Stay at 0.5–1.5 m . The longer it is, the higher the voltage drop, especially at 45 W. A short, sturdy cable works best.
- Quality : shielding, connectors, cross-section (AWG 22–24 for power supply), anti-kink sheath. A low-end cable heats up and ages badly → unstable flow rates .
LymobileShop golden rule: if you want 45W on Galaxy, get a 5A USB-C cable (e-marker) — it's non-negotiable.

Express Shopping Checklist: “Super Fast” 45W Without the Hassle
- 🔌 Powerbank : USB-C PD + PPS ; output ≥45W on the main port.
- 🧵 Cable : USB-C 5A with e-marker ; length 0.5–1.5 m, correct cross-section.
- 🎯 Port : Use C1 (master) solo to aim for max level.
- 🌡️ Thermal : charge in the shade, remove an insulating shell if necessary, avoid the sun windshield.
- ⚖️ Multi-ports : avoids simultaneous charges during boost (wattage is shared).
- ✈️ Travel : ≤100 Wh (e.g. 26.8k) = cabin OK; >100 Wh → check with the company.
Quick diagnosis if “Super Fast” does not appear
- Change the cable → plug in a known 5A e-marker . If the speed increases, you've found the culprit.
- Test port C1 (master) solo → do not connect anything else.
- Cool down the environment → go to the shade, take off a very thick case, put the phone down.
- Restart negotiation → disconnect/reconnect to force PD/PPS to renegotiate properly.
- Try another short cable (0.5–1 m) → the voltage drop may be limiting.
- Check the power bank → PD + PPS present? Level ≥45 W announced on C1?
Common Myths & Facts
- “All you need is a USB-C port” → False. You need PD + PPS and enough watts on the port you use.
- “All USB-C cables are the same” → False. Without a 5A e-marker , you can get stuck well below 45W.
- “45W damages my battery” → False. Negotiation reduces power if necessary. The enemy is heat . Hence the importance of good conditions.
- “Wireless is just as fast” → Not on the move. Wired PD+PPS remains faster and more efficient for boosts.
- "If it doesn't go to 45W all the way, it's broken" → No. The power should decrease at the end of charging: this is healthy behavior.

LymobileShop FAQ
How do I know if my Galaxy is taking 45W?
Many models advertise the level in the specifications. In practice, if you use a PD+PPS power bank (≥45 W) + 5A cable on the C1 port , you maximize your chances. The "Super Fast" indication (or equivalent) and a very short 20→80% recovery time are good signals.
Is a 3A cable enough?
For models around 25-30W, yes. To aim for 45W , a 5A e-marker is better. Without it, the negotiation can be limited.
Can wireless reach 45W?
Not for general use. Wireless bearings are inferior and highly dependent on heat/alignment. For quick boosts, use wired PD+PPS .
I plug in two devices and the speed drops. Is that normal?
Yes. Power is shared . For a “Super Fast” boost, charge your Galaxy on its primary port alone , then reconnect the rest.
Is it risky for the battery?
No, not if you use compliant equipment (PD+PPS, 5A cable) and follow good thermal practices. Smartphones automatically reduce power if the temperature rises.
What power bank capacity for a Galaxy?
10k (city/day), 20k (2–3 days), 26.8k (≈99.2 Wh, plane ≤100 Wh). Choose according to your target range and the weight you accept.
LymobileShop Conclusion : Achieving 45W "Super Fast" charging on Samsung/Android is a no-brainer — PD + PPS on the power bank side, 5A e-marker cable , solo C1 port , and good thermal management . Put these 4 bricks in place, and you go from "meh" to "wow" instantly.
