During last night's Jitsi Meeting, I used my new Blackview Active 8
Rugged Tablet. Apart from the tinny speakers, it worked well. Halfway
through the meeting, I put it on charge and was somewhat shocked to feel
the temperature of the charger when I unplugged it after an hour.
The supplied charger is specified as a PPS device. This means that it's
a programmable power supply which can be set to deliver the best level
of voltage and current by the device, to optimise the charge rate. The
device has to be compatible of course and the functionality is currently
only available for USB C compatible devices.
The idea seems great, but the Blackview charger is rated at 33 W, even
though it is physically half the size of the 10 W charger supplied with
my OnePlus phone. I feel very uncomfortable with this and would
certainly not leave the Tablet unattended while it is charging.
Has anyone heard anything (good or bad) about PPS chargers?
