UGREEN USB Fast Charger UK (Black)

UGREEN CD161 Dual USB Fast Charger UK 36W – QC 3.0 Two-Port Wall Adapter Black

The UGREEN CD161 is a dual-port USB-A wall charger delivering 36W total output across two independently controlled Quick Charge 3.0 ports from a single UK mains socket. It is designed for users who need to fast-charge two smartphones, tablets, or USB-powered accessories simultaneously without a USB-C port requirement. The CD161 suits bedside tables, office desks, and travel bags where simplicity, reliability, and broad device compatibility take priority over high wattage.

Dual QC 3.0 Ports with Independent Output Control

Both ports on the UGREEN CD161 support Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0, delivering up to 18W per port individually. Each port manages its own output independently, so the charging speed available to one device does not depend on what is connected to the other. Furthermore, the CD161 carries official Qualcomm QC certification, confirming that both ports operate within the standard’s defined voltage and current tolerances rather than approximating them. Non-QC devices also charge correctly at up to 2.4A (5V), making the CD161 compatible with older smartphones, tablets, wireless earbuds, and portable speakers that do not support fast-charge protocols.

Build and Safety

The housing uses fireproof PC and ABS plastic, rated for the thermal and electrical stresses of continuous dual-port use. Over-voltage, over-temperature, over-current, and short-circuit protections operate continuously across both ports. Additionally, the universal 100–240V input range allows the CD161 to function on international mains voltages when used with a plug adapter, making it a practical option for travellers carrying devices that charge via USB-A.

Use Cases and Applications

Bedside and Overnight Charging

The CD161 suits a bedside charging setup where two phones need to reach full charge overnight. Both ports deliver 18W independently, so two household members can fast-charge different-brand smartphones from a single socket. The multi-layer protection system handles extended unattended charging safely, and the compact 68 × 63 × 29mm body sits unobtrusively on a nightstand without blocking adjacent sockets.

Travel and International Use

At 150g and with a 100–240V universal input, the CD161 adds minimal weight to a travel bag and operates on any mains voltage worldwide with an appropriate plug adapter. It replaces two separate chargers in a bag, reducing both weight and the number of wall sockets needed in a hotel room. However, travellers carrying USB-C-only devices should note the CD161 provides USB-A ports only, and would therefore require USB-A to USB-C cables for those devices.

Office Desk and Shared Workspaces

The CD161 provides a straightforward two-device charging solution for desks where a power strip socket is shared. Both USB-A ports handle smartphones and accessories without requiring USB-C cables or adapters, making it practical for environments with a mix of older and newer devices. Additionally, Huawei FCP and AFC support covers a broad range of Android devices commonly found in shared office environments.
