Overview
UGREEN CD213 / 60980 is a 52.5W—not 60W—dual-port car charger. USB-C provides up to 30W through PD 3.0 profiles and supports PPS for compatible devices. USB-A provides up to 18W through QC 3.0 or up to 22.5W through a compatible SCP/high-current profile. The official exact-SKU total is 52.5W, reflecting 30W + 22.5W. A device such as an iPhone may draw only 20W even though the USB-C hardware ceiling is 30W.
Best-fit summary: Drivers who want one current USB-C fast-charge output and one powerful USB-A fallback without moving to a larger multi-port charger.
Key features

Exact power allocation
| USB-C alone | Up to 30W. |
|---|---|
| USB-A alone | Up to 18W through QC 3.0 or 22.5W through a compatible SCP/high-current profile. |
| USB-C + USB-A | Up to 30W + 22.5W = 52.5W total with compatible device profiles. |
Read the table before buying: A device-specific graphic showing 20W on USB-C does not reduce the port’s 30W ceiling; it illustrates the connected phone’s own input. Conversely, not every USB-A device can draw 22.5W.
Charging protocols and speed logic
USB-C supports PD 3.0 and PPS for compatible devices. USB-A supports QC 3.0 and SCP/high-current profiles, with common safety fallbacks. The 22.5W USB-A headline is not an ordinary QC 18W profile: a device must support the appropriate high-current charging family.
PD 30W
Suitable for compatible iPhone, iPad, Galaxy, Pixel and other USB-C devices that accept one of the listed profiles.
PPS support
Compatible Galaxy and other PPS devices can request a suitable programmable profile within the port limit.
QC 18W / SCP 22.5W
USB-A output depends on the device protocol; 22.5W should not be promised to a QC-only device.
Compatible devices and systems
Phones and tablets
Compatible iPhone, iPad, Galaxy, Pixel and other USB-charged phones or tablets can use the charger with the correct cable. The device still decides the accepted voltage, current and charging label.
Portable electronics
Suitable for USB-charged headphones, cameras, navigation units, handheld consoles, speakers, e-readers and power banks when their input matches a listed profile.
Vehicles
Designed for compatible 12V and 24V accessory or cigarette-lighter sockets. Socket depth, contact condition, fuse rating and whether the outlet stays live while parked are vehicle-specific.
Computers
A USB-C laptop is compatible only if it accepts USB Power Delivery within the stated port ceiling. Some high-performance laptops may charge slowly or only while sleeping.
Compatibility rule: Choose the port by protocol, not only connector shape. A 22.5W USB-A ceiling requires a compatible device; USB-C computers are limited to 30W.
Use scenarios
iPhone plus Android
Use USB-C for a PD-capable iPhone and USB-A for a QC/SCP-capable Android device.
Phone plus tablet
Keep a phone on USB-A while a compatible tablet uses the 30W USB-C output.
Navigation plus power bank
Run maps on the priority phone and recharge a compatible power bank from the second port.
Mixed family travel
Serve one USB-C cable and one established USB-A cable without a socket splitter.
Setup and usability guidance
- Park safely before fitting or changing any cables. Confirm that the vehicle outlet is a clean, dry, undamaged 12–24V DC accessory socket.
- Insert the charger fully. If there is no power, check whether the vehicle energises that socket only in accessory or ignition mode.
- Connect the highest-demand device to the port identified in the power table; then add lower-demand devices one at a time.
- Route every cable away from the steering wheel, pedals, gear selector, handbrake, seat rails and airbag deployment areas.
- When finished, disconnect devices first. Remove the charger if the vehicle keeps the outlet live while parked and prolonged standby draw is a concern.
No software required: The charger is plug-and-play; correct socket fit, port choice and cable routing are the important setup decisions.
Everyday usability and care
Automatic negotiation
There is no manual voltage switch. The charger, cable and device negotiate a mutually supported profile.
Shared-power awareness
Adding a second or third device can change the available power and briefly reset the active outputs.
Cable choice
Use the correct connector and a cable rated for the requested current. A phone cable is not automatically suitable for laptop-class power.
Heat and ventilation
Keep the housing exposed to cabin air. Warmth can be normal; abnormal heat, smell or cycling is not.
Keep the aluminium shell uncovered and clean the connector face only after removing the charger from the vehicle. Prevent coins or other conductive objects from entering either port.
What this product does
- Converts power from a compatible vehicle accessory socket into regulated USB charging outputs.
- Negotiates a mutually supported charging profile with each device and reallocates available power as connections change.
- Charges phones, tablets, accessories and—only where the stated port power is sufficient—compatible USB-C computers.
- Works without an app, driver, Bluetooth connection or vehicle infotainment pairing.
What this product does not do
- It is not an AC inverter and cannot power equipment that requires a household wall outlet.
- Its USB connectors are power outputs, not data, CarPlay, Android Auto, display or file-transfer ports.
- It cannot force a device to accept more power than the device, cable and protocol permit.
- It does not contain a battery and cannot continue charging after the vehicle socket loses power.
- It is not a 60W charger and does not provide 60W through USB-C. The exact system rating is 52.5W.
- Do not treat its 30W USB-C port as a normal replacement for a 45W, 65W or higher laptop charger.
What to do
- Use sound, correctly rated cables and place the highest-demand device on the strongest documented output.
- Keep the charger exposed to cabin air and keep the accessory socket free of dust, liquid and conductive debris.
- Expect a brief charging pause when a device is connected or removed; many multi-port chargers must renegotiate power.
- Check the connected device’s input requirement instead of judging compatibility from connector shape alone.
- Disconnect power before cleaning and use only a dry, soft cloth.
- Use a cable rated for the intended 30W or high-current USB-A session.
What not to do
- Do not use a wet, loose, scorched, cracked or mechanically damaged vehicle socket, charger or cable.
- Do not cover the charger with fabric or wedge it where ventilation is blocked.
- Do not exceed the stated 12–24V DC input range or connect it to an unverified power source.
- Do not handle connections while driving when doing so could distract the driver or interfere with controls.
- Do not disassemble the housing or continue use after deformation, burning odour, repeated shutdown or abnormal heat.
- Do not promise 22.5W USB-A output to every QC device; ordinary QC 3.0 operation tops out at 18W.
Warnings and limitations
- The vehicle outlet and its fuse must be capable of supplying the requested load. A weak or damaged socket can cause intermittent charging.
- Charging power normally falls as a battery approaches full charge or becomes warm. This tapering is expected and is not proof of a charger fault.
- Metal and high-output charger bodies can feel warm during normal operation. Stop use if heat becomes excessive or is accompanied by smell, deformation or repeated cut-outs.
- The product is not described as waterproof. Protect it from spills, condensation and wet cleaning.
- A printed wattage is a ceiling under defined conditions, not a promise that every device will draw that amount.
- The current live title says 60W, but exact product sources consistently identify 52.5W. This draft corrects the title rather than repeating the conflict.
Stop-use trigger: Disconnect immediately if you notice arcing, smoke, a burning smell, melted plastic, visible deformation or repeated unexplained power loss.
Troubleshooting
No power
Check ignition/accessory mode, reseat the charger, inspect the socket and test a second known-good vehicle outlet if available.
Charging is slow
Test one device alone, use the strongest documented port, verify the cable rating and check the device battery temperature and state of charge.
Power cuts in and out
Inspect for a loose socket fit, debris, worn side contacts or a damaged cable. Repeated cycling is not normal when connections are unchanged.
Fast-charge label is missing
Confirm that the port, cable and device share the required PD, PPS, QC or manufacturer-specific profile. A standard fallback charge may still work.
Useful diagnostic: If the USB-A device stops at 18W, verify whether it supports SCP/high-current 22.5W rather than only QC 3.0. An 18W result can be the correct negotiated maximum.

Product-specific FAQ
What is the maximum output?
The exact combined rating is 52.5W: up to 30W from USB-C plus up to 22.5W from USB-A with compatible devices.
How does power change when more than one device is connected?
The two outputs can operate together up to the 30W + 22.5W hardware ceilings. The real draw may be lower because each connected device chooses its own profile.
Can it charge a laptop?
Only compatible low-power USB-C laptops that can use a 30W input. Most 45W, 65W or higher systems need a stronger charger.
Which port should I use first?
Use USB-C for a PD/PPS device and USB-A for a QC/SCP device or legacy cable.
Does it support fast charging?
Yes. USB-C supports PD/PPS up to 30W; USB-A supports QC up to 18W and compatible SCP/high-current charging up to 22.5W.
Will it work in a 24V truck or commercial vehicle?
It is designed for compatible 12–24V DC vehicle accessory sockets.
Why can charging briefly stop when another device is connected?
The charger may reset and renegotiate its output when the active port combination changes. A short pause is normal; repeated cycling without a connection change is not and should prompt a cable, socket and device check.
Why is the real charging speed lower than the printed wattage?
The printed figure is a maximum. Device input limits, cable capability, battery level, temperature, active-port sharing and the available power source all influence the real rate.
Does it transfer data or connect to an infotainment system?
No. The USB connections on this charger are for charging power only; they do not carry files, video, CarPlay or Android Auto data.
What is included in the package?
One UGREEN 60980 charger and printed documentation are listed. Charging cables are not included.
How do I confirm this is the correct model?
Match SKU 60980 and, where shown, model CD213 on the product or retail label before relying on this page's port and power tables.
