Ambrane Charge Hub 65 Review: 6-in-1 GaN Charger With AC Sockets, Explained

The Ambrane Charge Hub 65 pairs a 65W USB-C port with a second 63W USB-C port, two USB-A ports and two AC sockets. Here is what the 65W and 2500W ratings really mean, who it suits and what to check before buying.

By Gadget Soch·19 Oct 2026·10 min read

The Ambrane Charge Hub 65 is a 6-in-1 desktop charging station that combines a GaN USB charger with a small extension board: two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports and two AC sockets on one 1-metre cord. Its main USB-C port is rated up to 65W, which is enough for many USB-C laptops, phones and tablets, while the AC sockets are rated up to 2500W for plugging in other adapters and appliances. In short, it suits a desk that juggles a laptop, a phone and a couple of plugged-in gadgets, but it is not a 65W-per-port charger and the “2500W” figure is about the sockets, not charging speed.

This article is based on Ambrane India’s official product page and the Amazon.in listing data captured on 17 October 2026. It is not based on hands-on testing, and we did not find an independent lab review of this model to cite.

The Amazon link in this article points to the black Charge Hub 65 listed as “Ambrane 6-in-1 Power Hub Charger 65W Fast Charging” on Amazon.in. Black is also the only colour shown on Ambrane’s own page.

Quick verdict

Best for: a work or study desk where one wall socket has to power a USB-C laptop, a phone and one or two other plugs
Skip if: you need 65W on two laptops at once, or you want a charger for very high-wattage laptops
Key strengths: 65W USB-C port, second USB-C port up to 63W, two AC sockets, GaN design, surge and overvoltage protection listed by Ambrane, 1-year warranty on the official page
Key limitations: Ambrane does not publish how power is split when several ports are busy, the input rating or the exact fast-charging standards; the Amazon listing’s technical section shows a different warranty period from its feature bullets

What “65W” and “2500W” actually mean here

These two numbers cause most of the confusion around this product, so it is worth separating them. The 65W figure belongs to the first USB-C port. According to Ambrane’s product page, Type-C1 delivers up to 65W, Type-C2 up to 63W and each USB-A port up to 22.5W. That is the part that charges your laptop, phone, earbuds or tablet directly.

The 2500W figure belongs to the two AC sockets. Ambrane’s page lists the AC sockets as supporting up to 2500W, and the Amazon.in listing calls this “2500W BoostedSpeed”. It does not mean your phone charges at 2500W. Think of the AC side as a compact extension board: you can plug in your laptop’s original brick, a monitor adapter or a lamp, and the sockets simply pass mains power through.

The official page does not state a combined USB output when several USB ports are used together. It says power distribution adjusts automatically and is balanced across connected devices. In practice, multi-port chargers of this kind normally share their USB budget, so expect individual ports to drop below their maximum ratings when you charge three or four devices at once. If 65W to a single laptop is important, keep the laptop on Type-C1 and avoid loading the other ports heavily during long work sessions.

Laptop charging: who gets the full benefit

A 65W USB-C Power Delivery output covers many thin-and-light laptops that charge over USB-C. The simple check is to look at the wattage printed on your laptop’s original charger. If it is 65W or lower and connects with USB-C, this hub’s main port is in the right range. If your laptop came with a 90W, 100W or higher charger, a 65W port may still charge it slowly when idle, but it can lose battery under heavy load.

Laptops that charge only through a round barrel connector, which is still common on gaming and older models, will not charge from the USB-C ports at all. For those, the AC sockets are the useful part: plug the original laptop adapter into one of them and use the USB ports for phones and accessories.

Note also that Ambrane mentions Quick Charge and Power Delivery support without naming versions or listing voltage profiles. Phones that use proprietary fast-charging systems (for example, some brands’ own high-wattage chargers) generally fall back to standard USB-C charging on third-party hubs, so do not expect the headline speed your phone’s own charger gives.

The AC sockets: useful, but respect the wall socket

Having two sockets on the same unit is the feature that separates the Charge Hub 65 from a plain multi-port charger. It is handy for a desk with only one free wall point. A few practical points matter, though.

Your wall socket sets the real limit. A 2500W rating on the hub does not upgrade the wall point behind it. A typical 6A household socket at 230V works out to roughly 1,380W, so heavy loads such as an iron, room heater or kettle should not go through a desk hub.
Check the plug and socket type. Ambrane’s page and the listing text do not describe the plug or socket shape. Look at the listing photos to confirm the sockets accept the plugs you own.
Keep the cord short and visible. The 1-metre cord is fine for desks but is not a long extension lead. Do not daisy-chain it from another extension board.
Use it for electronics. Laptop adapters, monitor bricks, routers and lamps are the sensible loads for a GaN desk hub.

Design, GaN and safety features

Ambrane says the Charge Hub 65 uses GaN (gallium nitride) technology, which it credits for a smaller, more efficient and cooler-running design than traditional chargers. The Amazon.in listing gives the weight as 354 g. Neither the official page nor the listing data we checked gives the dimensions, so compare the size in the listing images against your desk space.

For protection, Ambrane lists overcurrent, overheating, overvoltage and surge protection under its SafeCharge branding, and the product page states that the unit is BIS certified. Ambrane does not publish surge ratings or test thresholds, so treat “surge protection” as a basic safety feature, not a substitute for a dedicated surge protector or stabiliser for expensive equipment in areas with unstable power.

Who should buy it

Who should buy the Charge Hub 65 — Who the Charge Hub 65 suits, summarised from this review.

Students and remote workers with one USB-C laptop up to around 65W plus a phone
People who want fewer bricks and one cord on a desk or bedside table
Small offices that need a couple of AC sockets and USB ports near a monitor
Travellers who want one unit for a hotel room with few free sockets, as long as the 354 g weight is acceptable

Who should skip it

Anyone who needs to charge two power-hungry laptops at full speed at the same time
Owners of laptops that ship with 90W-plus chargers or barrel connectors and want USB-C charging
Buyers who need published input ratings, power-split tables or surge specifications before purchase
Anyone hoping to run heaters, irons or kitchen appliances through a desk charger

Alternatives worth comparing

These options come from Ambrane’s own catalogue and were checked on its official pages on 17 October 2026.

Ambrane Charge HUB 140: a larger GaN desktop charger with five USB-C and two USB-A ports, a 140W USB-C PD port, listed support for QC, PD and PPS, and a detachable 1.2 m cord. It has no AC sockets, so it suits more powerful laptops rather than mixed plug loads.
Ambrane Charge X33: a smaller 4-in-1 GaN unit with two USB-C ports, one USB-A port and one AC socket, with 33W on USB-C. Better for phones and tablets than for laptops.
Ambrane Charge R65: a 65W GaN wall adapter with a retractable built-in Type-C cable. A simpler choice if you only need to charge a laptop or phone and do not need AC sockets.

What to check before you order

Charge Hub 65 buying checklist — What to check before you buy the Charge Hub 65.

Confirm the exact listing: the Amazon title should read “Ambrane 6-in-1 Power Hub Charger 65W Fast Charging” with “Charge Hub 65”, 2 Type-C, 2 USB and 2 AC sockets, in black.
Warranty: Ambrane’s official page and the listing’s feature bullets say 365 days against manufacturing defects, but the listing’s technical details say 6 months. Check the warranty card in the box and keep your invoice.
Box contents: neither source lists the box contents. Assume you need your own USB-C cable for laptops and phones unless the listing images show one, and make sure your USB-C cable is rated for 60W or more (100W cables are common) if you want 65W laptop charging.
Service: Ambrane’s page names Ambrane India Pvt Ltd, Sonipat, Haryana as importer and marketer, with a care email for support. Ambrane’s own website terms (such as its 7-day replacement window) apply to its store, so read the returns terms on the Amazon listing too.
Your laptop’s charger wattage: if it is above 65W, consider the Charge HUB 140 instead.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Ambrane Charge Hub 65 charge a laptop?

Yes, if the laptop charges over USB-C Power Delivery. Ambrane rates the first USB-C port at up to 65W and the second at up to 63W. Laptops with barrel connectors need their original adapter plugged into one of the hub’s AC sockets.

Does 2500W mean faster charging?

No. Ambrane lists the AC sockets as supporting up to 2500W. USB charging speed is set by the USB ports: up to 65W, 63W and 22.5W depending on the port. The wall socket you plug into also limits what you can safely run.

Can I charge four devices at full speed together?

Ambrane does not publish a combined USB output or a power-split table. Its page says power is balanced across connected devices, so expect per-port speeds to fall when several devices are connected.

What is the warranty on the Charge Hub 65?

Ambrane’s product page says 1 year (365 days) against manufacturing defects, and the Amazon listing’s feature bullets agree, but the listing’s technical details show 6 months. Confirm with the warranty card and Ambrane support.

Is the Charge Hub 65 safe to leave plugged in?

Ambrane lists overcurrent, overheating, overvoltage and surge protection and states the unit is BIS certified. As with any charging hub, keep it ventilated, avoid covering it, and switch it off at the wall when you leave for long periods.

Final word

The Ambrane Charge Hub 65 makes sense if you want one compact unit that can charge a USB-C laptop up to 65W and still offer AC sockets for other adapters. Its value depends on reading the specs correctly: the 2500W rating is for the sockets, not charging speed, and Ambrane does not say how it splits power under full load. If that fits your desk, it is a tidy way to reduce clutter.
