The Ambrane Charge 100 is a 100W GaN wall charger with four ports, three USB-C and one USB-A, that can charge a laptop, phone and earbuds from one plug. According to Ambrane’s official page, two of the USB-C ports go up to 100W each, the third up to 35W and the USB-A port up to 18W, with support for USB Power Delivery and Quick Charge 3.0. It makes sense for people who want one compact brick for a USB-C laptop and a phone, but the 6-month warranty and missing details on how power is shared are worth weighing.
Verdict in one line: a flexible four-port desk and travel charger for USB-C laptops and phones, best bought by people who already own (or are ready to buy) a proper 100W USB-C cable.
This article is based on Ambrane’s official product page and the Amazon.in listing (both checked on 17 October 2026), not on hands-on testing. We have not measured its charging speeds or temperatures, and we found no independent lab review to cite.
Quick verdict
- Best for: owners of USB-C laptops, including MacBooks, who also want to charge a phone and accessories from one adapter
- Skip if: you only charge one phone, need Samsung’s PPS-based Super Fast Charging confirmed, or want a long warranty
- Key strengths: four ports, up to 100W on two USB-C ports, GaN design, BIS certification and protection against over-voltage, overheating and short circuits per Ambrane
- Key limitations: no published power split when several ports are in use, PPS not listed, box contents not stated, 6-month warranty

The headline number: what “100W” actually means here
A 100W rating on a multi-port charger is a ceiling, not a promise that every port gets 100W at once. Ambrane’s page says USB-C1 and USB-C2 can each deliver up to 100W, but the total for the whole charger is also 100W. So if a laptop is drawing heavily from one port and you plug a phone into another, the Ambrane Charge 100 has to divide its power. Ambrane says a “Power Split” feature balances output across ports, but it does not publish the actual combinations, such as what each port gets when two or three devices are connected.
This matters most if your laptop needs a lot of power. A laptop that charges well on a 65W adapter should be comfortable when it is the only device plugged in. Once you add a phone and earbuds, expect the Ambrane Charge 100 share to drop, and a demanding laptop may charge more slowly or, under heavy load, barely hold its level. If you want predictable laptop charging, plug the laptop in alone or into the port you have confirmed works best for it.
The third USB-C port, rated up to 35W, is still quite capable for phones and tablets. The USB-A port, rated up to 18W, is best kept for earbuds, smartwatches, older phones or Lightning cables with a USB-A end.
GaN and why the charger can be this small
GaN (gallium nitride) chargers use a different semiconductor material from traditional silicon chargers, which lets manufacturers build higher-wattage adapters that are smaller and run more efficiently. Ambrane says GaN gives the Charge 100 faster charging in a smaller design with less heat. The Amazon.in listing gives a weight of 189 g, which is reasonable for a four-port 100W adapter, though neither source lists the dimensions. GaN does not make a charger immune to heat, so leave space around it on a desk and avoid covering it with cloth or bedding.
Phone compatibility: PD and QC 3.0, but no PPS listed
Ambrane lists USB Power Delivery and Quick Charge 3.0. USB PD is what iPhones (from the iPhone 8 onwards), Google Pixel phones and many other Android phones use for fast wired charging over USB-C, so most modern phones should fast-charge from the USB-C ports. The listing title claims “iPhone 0 to 50% in minutes”, but it does not give a specific time, so treat that as marketing rather than a measured figure.
Two groups should be careful. First, Samsung’s Super Fast Charging relies on the PPS extension of USB PD. Ambrane’s page for the Charge 100 does not list PPS (its sibling, the Charge D100, does), so a Samsung phone may still charge from it, but you should not assume its 25W or 45W mode will engage. Second, phones that use proprietary systems, such as OnePlus SUPERVOOC, OPPO SUPERVOOC or Xiaomi HyperCharge, generally only reach their top speeds with their own brand’s chargers and cables. On a standard PD charger they usually fall back to a slower PD speed.
Laptops and MacBooks: the cable matters as much as the charger
The Amazon.in listing and Ambrane’s page both position the Charge 100 as a Type-C laptop and MacBook charger. Laptops charge over USB-C using USB Power Delivery, so a USB-C laptop that accepts PD charging should work. Older laptops with barrel-pin chargers will not.
The most common mistake is the Ambrane Charge 100. Under the USB-C standard, power above 60W (3A) requires a cable rated for 5A, which contains an identification chip. A basic USB-C cable will limit the charger to 60W or less even though the port can do 100W. Neither Ambrane’s page nor the Amazon.in listing says that a cable is included, so plan to buy a cable clearly marked 100W, 5A or 240W if you want the full output for a laptop.
How the four ports work in daily use
- Work desk: laptop on USB-C1, phone on USB-C3, earbuds or watch on USB-A, with USB-C2 free for a tablet
- Travel: one adapter and two cables can replace a laptop brick and a phone charger, but remember that total output is shared
- Family charging point: up to four phones and accessories overnight, where speed matters less than convenience
- Fastest single-device charging: plug the device in alone on USB-C1 or USB-C2
Safety, origin and warranty
Ambrane says the Charge 100 has “SafeCharge” protection against over-voltage, overheating and short circuits and is BIS certified. For a wall charger used overnight, BIS certification and these protections are the minimum you should accept. Check the BIS registration mark on the adapter itself after delivery.
The Ambrane product page shows both “Made in India” and “Country of Origin: China”, while the Amazon.in listing says China. Since these conflict, check the label on the box if origin matters to you. The listing’s technical details also show an “Input Voltage” of 5 volts, which cannot be right for a mains charger, so rely on the rating printed on the adapter for its input range.
The warranty is short. Ambrane lists 6 months, a 7-day replacement window and an extra 30-day extended warranty for purchases made on its own website. The Amazon.in listing states a 6-month manufacturer warranty. Keep the invoice, because chargers that fail usually do so early or after heavy use.
Who it suits, and who should look elsewhere
Good fit
- USB-C laptop users, including MacBook Air owners, who want one adapter for laptop and phone
- People who regularly charge three or four devices at one desk or bedside
- Travellers who want to carry one adapter instead of two or three
Look elsewhere
- Samsung owners who specifically want PPS-based Super Fast Charging confirmed
- OnePlus, OPPO, realme or Xiaomi owners chasing their phone’s proprietary maximum speed
- Anyone who needs a longer warranty than 6 months
- People who only need to charge a single phone, where a simpler charger is enough
Alternatives worth comparing
- Ambrane Charge D100: Ambrane’s other 100W GaN option, with two USB-C ports, one USB-A port and a built-in display showing real-time wattage per port. Ambrane lists QC, PD and PPS support, which makes it the safer Ambrane pick for Samsung phones. It also carries a 6-month warranty.
- Ambrane Charge 70: a 70W GaN charger with two USB-C ports (up to 70W each) and one USB-A port (up to 18W), with Quick Charge 3.0 and PD, according to Ambrane. Enough for most thin-and-light laptops if you do not need four ports.
- Toreto Velo Slim (TOR-1514): a 65W GaN charger with a USB-C PD port (up to 65W, with PPS) and a USB-A Quick Charge port (up to 45W). Toreto lists a 2-metre USB-C to USB-C cable in the box and a 12-month warranty.

- For laptops, buy a USB-C cable rated for 100W (5A) or 240W
- Check that your laptop charges over USB-C Power Delivery
- Keep the invoice for the 6-month warranty and 7-day replacement window
- Check the BIS mark and input rating printed on the adapter

Frequently asked questions
Can the Ambrane Charge 100 charge a MacBook?
Ambrane and the Amazon.in listing describe it as a MacBook and Type-C laptop charger. Use a USB-C cable rated for 100W, and expect slower laptop charging when other devices share the charger.
Will it deliver 100W to two laptops at the same time?
No. Two USB-C ports are each rated up to 100W, but the charger’s total is 100W, and Ambrane does not publish how power is divided when several ports are used.
Does it support PPS for Samsung Super Fast Charging?
PPS is not listed on Ambrane’s Charge 100 page. It lists PD and Quick Charge 3.0. The Charge D100 does list PPS.
Is a cable included in the box?
Neither Ambrane’s page nor the Amazon.in listing states box contents, so check the listing when you order and plan for your own cable.
Bottom line
The Ambrane Charge 100 offers what most people want from a 100W GaN charger: two full-power USB-C ports, a third USB-C port and a USB-A port in a 189 g body. Its weak points are the lack of published power-split figures, no listed PPS support and a short warranty. If you charge a USB-C laptop and a phone daily and are ready to use a proper 100W cable, it is a practical one-adapter setup. Check the current price of the Ambrane Charge 100 on Amazon.in.
