Verbatim GNC-65 GaN Charger 65W, 2x USB-C PD, 1x USB-A QC 3.0 (EU/UK/US)

Verbatim GNC-65 | GaN 65W Universal Travel Charger

The Verbatim GNC-65 GaN Charger 65W with 2 x USB-C PD 65W / 1 x USB-A QC 3.0 (EU/UK/US) is a versatile power solution for professionals on the move. By leveraging Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology, it packs high-wattage output into a chassis measuring just 29.4 x 58.7 x 47.3 mm. This compact design makes it ideal for powering a MacBook, iPad, and smartphone simultaneously without the bulk of traditional bricks. It is designed for global use, provided you use the correct plug attachment for your region.

Technical Snapshot

GaN Efficiency and Thermal Management

The core of this charger is the Gallium Nitride (GaN) transistor technology. Unlike older silicon-based chargers, GaN conducts electricity more efficiently with less resistance. Because it generates less waste heat, the internal components can be packed closer together. So, you get a significantly smaller footprint (47 mm height) without sacrificing the 65 W output required for modern ultrabooks. This efficiency also helps maintain cooler surface temperatures during heavy loads.

Simultaneous Multi-Device Power Delivery

This unit features two USB-C Power Delivery ports and one USB-A Quick Charge 3.0 port. In practice, this allows you to charge a laptop via USB-C while topping up a tablet and phone at the same time. However, the 65 W total budget is shared across the ports. If you connect a high-draw laptop to one USB-C port, the remaining ports will provide lower wattage for accessories. This setup is best suited for a primary device plus two lower-power peripherals.

Universal Compatibility and Travel Readiness

The charger accepts a wide input range of 100–240 V and 50/60 Hz, making it electrically compatible with mains power in most countries. It supports interchangeable plugs (EU, UK, US), which is essential for international travel. The US plug prongs are foldable to protect your bag contents from scratches. Because it is an indoor charger, you should avoid using it in exposed outdoor environments where moisture or dust could enter the housing.

Built-in Safety Protections

Hardvance prioritises safety in power accessories. This Verbatim model includes four specific protection systems: Over-current (OCP), Over-voltage (OVP), Short circuit (SCP), and Overheating (OTP). These safeguards actively monitor the power flow and will cut the circuit instantly if a fault is detected. This is critical when charging expensive lithium-ion batteries in laptops and smartphones, as it prevents potential damage from power surges.

The Consultant’s verdict & warranty

This charger is a strong choice for business travellers and remote workers who need to power a laptop and two other devices without carrying multiple bricks. The GaN technology ensures it remains pocketable, while the 65W output is sufficient for most ultrabooks. However, heavy users running high-performance workstations should verify their specific power draw requirements. Covered by the standard Manufacturer Warranty.
