Overview
UGREEN 90549 / CD289 is a 140W-class wall charger with two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. USB-C1 supports PD 3.1 up to 28V/5A and 140W; USB-C2 reaches up to 100W; USB-A reaches up to 22.5W on a compatible profile. Those are single-port ceilings. With C1 and C2 together the verified split is 65W + 65W; with all three connections it is 65W + 45W + 22.5W. The exact India bundle title includes a Schuko-to-India plug adapter, and official regional materials list a 1.5m 240W USB-C to USB-C cable.
Best-fit summary: A high-power USB-C laptop user who also needs a second USB-C device and one legacy USB-A accessory from a single Indian wall connection.
Key features
Real PD 3.1 path
USB-C1 exposes 28V/5A for up to 140W when the device and cable support the EPR session.
Documented three-port split
C1, C2 and USB-A share the system as 65W, 45W and 22.5W rather than retaining isolated maxima.
India-ready bundle detail
The exact live product title identifies a Schuko-to-India adapter; it adapts pin shape, not voltage or protocol.
Port map and connector roles
USB-C1
Up to 140W: 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/3A, 15V/3A, 20V/5A or 28V/5A; PPS approximately 3.3–21V/5A.
USB-C2
Up to 100W: profiles through 20V/5A; PPS approximately 3.3–21V/5A.
USB-A
Up to 22.5W: 4.5V/5A, 5V/4.5A, 5V/3A, 9V/2A or 12V/1.5A on compatible modes.
Fixed EU / Schuko pins
The exact India bundle adds a Schuko-to-India plug adapter; keep the mechanical connection secure and correctly rated.
Port labels matter: Use C1 for the 140W-class device. C2 is the 100W secondary USB-C path; USB-A never becomes a USB-C PD output.
Exact power allocation
| USB-C1 alone | Up to 140W with compatible PD 3.1 hardware and 5A EPR cable. |
|---|---|
| USB-C2 alone | Up to 100W with a compatible USB PD device and 5A cable. |
| USB-A alone | Up to 22.5W on a compatible USB-A fast-charge profile. |
| USB-C1 + USB-C2 | 65W + 65W. |
| USB-C1 + USB-A | 100W + 22.5W. |
| USB-C2 + USB-A | 100W + 22.5W. |
| All three ports | 65W + 45W + 22.5W. |

Charging protocols and speed logic
USB-C1 supports USB PD 3.1 including 28V EPR operation, while both USB-C ports support PD/PPS modes within their profiles. USB-A supports common QC/SCP/FCP/AFC-family charging. A compatible 5A EPR cable is necessary but not sufficient for 140W—the device must also request 28V PD 3.1. A 16-inch MacBook Pro may need Apple’s USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable for its particular 140W path.
Cable class matters
Use the supplied 240W cable or another verified 5A EPR cable for the 28V/5A path.
MacBook cable caveat
USB-C PD 3.1 compatibility and Apple’s fastest supported MagSafe route are not always the same cable arrangement.
PPS is negotiated
A PPS phone selects a supported variable voltage; the charger does not force the maximum current.
Compatible devices and systems
High-power USB-C laptops
Compatible PD 3.1 laptops can use C1 up to 140W; 100W-class laptops can use C1 or C2 within their own limit.
Tablets and phones
Compatible iPad, iPhone, Galaxy, Pixel and other devices can use a suitable USB-C port and draw only what they support.
USB-A accessories
Headphones, watches, power banks and legacy-cable phones can use USB-A within its supported profiles.
Proprietary-input laptops
Systems without USB-C charging, or those requiring a proprietary voltage/connector, may not charge despite the 140W headline.
Compatibility rule: For a claimed wattage, confirm device input, the correct port, the right cable and the active multi-port allocation.
Use scenarios
Single-laptop sprint
Use C1 alone with a compatible PD 3.1 computer and suitable EPR cable for the highest available ceiling.
Two-laptop desk
C1+C2 divides power evenly at up to 65W + 65W, useful for two 65W-class systems.
Laptop + phone + accessory
All three connections provide 65W + 45W + 22.5W when those devices can accept the profiles.
India travel kit
Carry the included India plug adapter, but inspect the fit and rating before every high-power wall connection.
Setup and usability guidance
- Read the product label and confirm that the mains-input range, fixed plug and wall socket are compatible before connecting power.
- This regional SKU uses fixed EU 2-pin pins. If the socket does not grip them securely, use a properly rated certified adapter rather than forcing or balancing the charger.
- Connect the charger to a sound, dry wall socket; connect a correctly rated cable to the intended USB output; then connect the device.
- For the highest-power session, begin with the strongest documented USB-C output and one device. Add other devices only after checking the sharing table.
- Unplug by holding the charger body. Do not remove it by pulling a charging cable.
- Attach the Schuko-to-India adapter fully before inserting the charger; if the combined assembly sags or feels loose, use a safer socket arrangement.
Setup principle: Start with one device on the strongest intended output, then add lower-priority devices.
Everyday usability and care
C1 priority
Place the main laptop on C1 so the intended 140W or 100W path is not confused with C2.
Bundle cable
The 1.5m 240W C-C cable is appropriate for EPR capability, but the device must still support the requested profile.
Predictable dual-C mode
Connecting both USB-C ports changes the result to 65W + 65W even if one device was previously at a higher rate.
Adapter leverage
A heavy charger plus plug adapter places extra mechanical load on the socket; use a firm, undamaged outlet.
Keep the adapter pins and charger contacts clean, dry and free of arcing marks. Replace a damaged plug adapter rather than taping, bending or wedging it.
What this product does
- Converts 100–240V AC mains power into negotiated low-voltage USB charging outputs for compatible electronics.
- Selects a mutually supported voltage and current with the connected device; there is no manual voltage switch.
- Redistributes a finite total power budget when more than one output is occupied.
- Works without an app, account, driver, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection.
- Supports a verified 65W + 65W dual-laptop arrangement and 65W + 45W + 22.5W all-port arrangement.
What this product does not do
- It is not a voltage converter for AC appliances and it does not create a household AC outlet.
- Its USB connectors are charging outputs, not file-transfer, video, networking or docking ports.
- It cannot force a device to accept a wattage or fast-charge protocol that the device and cable do not support.
- It cannot keep every port at its single-port maximum when several devices share the charger.
- The included pin adapter does not convert voltage and does not make a loose or damaged wall socket safe.
What to do
- Use sound cables rated for the current and power requested by the device.
- Keep the charger uncovered and exposed to air during high-power charging.
- Place the highest-demand device on the strongest documented output.
- Expect a brief charging reset when a connection changes and power is renegotiated.
- Disconnect mains power before cleaning and use only a dry, soft cloth.
- Use a secure socket that supports the weight of the charger and adapter without sagging.
What not to do
- Do not use a loose, scorched, cracked, wet or mechanically damaged wall socket, adapter, cable or charger.
- Do not cover the charger with bedding, clothing or other insulating material.
- Do not force EU pins into a socket that does not accept them securely.
- Do not assume connector shape alone proves protocol or wattage compatibility.
- Do not disassemble the housing or continue use after arcing, smoke, odour, deformation or repeated unexplained shutdown.
- Do not use Apple-specific test imagery as a promise for another device, cable or battery condition.
Warnings and limitations
- The printed wattage is a maximum under defined conditions, not a promise that every device will draw that power.
- Charging normally slows as a battery fills, warms up or applies its own battery-health controls.
- Some warmth is normal at high load. Excessive heat, smell, noise, deformation or cycling requires immediate disconnection.
- This charger is intended for dry indoor use and is not documented as waterproof.
- A plug adapter changes only physical fit; it does not repair a loose socket or create a new charging protocol.
- For some Apple computers, the fastest 140W path may require a separately sourced Apple USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable.
Stop-use trigger: Disconnect immediately for arcing, smoke, burning smell, melted material, visible deformation or repeated unexplained power loss.
Troubleshooting
C1 stops at 100W or below
Confirm 28V PD 3.1 device support and use a 5A EPR cable. A 20V-only device cannot request 140W.
Both laptops slow down
C1+C2 is intentionally 65W+65W. Disconnect the secondary device if the primary requires more than 65W.
Adapter or socket becomes unstable
Disconnect immediately. A loose physical connection is not an electronic protocol issue and must not be ignored.
Phone fast-charge label missing
Use the appropriate port/cable, confirm PPS or the relevant protocol and test without other devices.
Useful diagnostic: Test the high-power device alone on C1 with the supplied 240W cable. If the intended mode appears only then, the previous limit was sharing; if not, verify device support and cable route.

Product-specific FAQ
What is the maximum charging output?
USB-C1 reaches up to 140W alone; the charger’s total ceiling is 140W.
How does power change with multiple devices?
C1+C2 is 65W+65W; either USB-C plus USB-A can provide 100W+22.5W; all three are 65W+45W+22.5W.
Can it charge a laptop?
Yes, if the laptop accepts a supported USB PD profile. The 140W mode requires 28V PD 3.1 and a suitable 5A EPR cable.
Which output or charging area should I use first?
Use USB-C1 for the highest-demand laptop, USB-C2 for the secondary USB-C device and USB-A for a legacy-cable accessory.
Which fast-charging standards does it support?
USB-C supports PD/PPS, with PD 3.1 28V on C1. USB-A supports common QC/SCP/FCP/AFC-family modes.
Can this regional product be used in India?
Yes. The exact India bundle includes a Schuko-to-India adapter. It must fit firmly and is only a mechanical pin adapter, not a voltage converter.
Why can charging pause or restart?
A brief pause is normal when another port is connected because the charger reallocates power. Repeated cycling without a change is not normal.
Why can real charging speed be lower than the printed wattage?
Device input, cable class, active sharing, battery level and temperature can all lower real power. A 140W label does not override those limits.
Do any of these connectors transfer data?
No. The three USB outputs provide charging power only.
What is included in the package?
Charger, Schuko-to-India plug adapter, 1.5m 240W USB-C to USB-C cable and documentation.
How do I confirm this exact model?
Match SKU 90549 and model CD289; do not use another Nexode model’s port-sharing table.
