DJI announces its first 140W GaN charger with USB-C triple output and real-time display cable - Gizmochina

DJI has unveiled its first 140W gallium nitride (GaN) charger, marking a significant expansion into power delivery technology. The DJI POWER 140W GaN Charger features three ports—two USB-C supporting ... Read original →

DJI’s 140W GaN charger isn’t just an accessory—it’s a strategic thrust into power electronics. By integrating PD 3.1 and E-Marker chips, it pressures upstream GaN foundries to refine sub-650V device yields and accelerates USB-IF’s adaptation to high-power use cases. Regulatory headwinds from the EU Battery Regulation and FCC EMI rules will raise compliance costs, yet DJI’s proprietary handshake with its ecosystem devices creates a defensible hardware-software moat. Competitors like Anker may retaliate with pricing, but can’t easily replicate the real-time telemetry loop enabled by the smart cable. Within 18 months, such intelligent, multi-port GaN systems will become standard for high-drain portable gear—drones, mobile workstations—propelling GaN’s market share beyond 55% from today’s ~35%.
