The odyssey that had to face the Xiaomi Charger 65W (AD651) seems to have finally come to an end. As some of you may remember, the ultra fast charger was initially launched in February of this year and then withdrawn from the market in April due to a hacking danger. Specifically, it was possible to change the firmware of the product with the consequent risk of an increase in output voltage, which obviously would not have led to anything good.
The Xiaomi Charger 65W returns for sale, solved the security problems
Well, today the brand seems to have finally solved this safety problem by putting the charger back on sale in several Chinese stores. Xiaomi has however decided to change the product name from AD651P to AD651P so as to distinguish those updated from previous versions.
The main difference of the new variant lies in Xiaomi's proprietary technology. In fact, the brand's smartphones adopt different fast charging solutions such as 10V5A, 10V4A, 10V3A, etc., all developed according to the PPS protocol that we see on flagship and medium range devices.
The old AD651 charger instead supported only the PD3.0 charging technology and did not include the proprietary Xiaomi technology and therefore could not support Xiaomi's high-power fast charging. So even a top of the range like the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro could be recharged at the maximum power of only 18 W. While today, with the new version, it will be possible to reach a power of 50W, divided into 10V and 5A.
In any case, the Xiaomi Charger 65W AD651P is no different from common PD technology chargers and therefore supports charging at 5V3A / 9V3A / 12V3A / 15V3A / 20V3.25A. Additionally, PD chargers can be used to provide up to 65 W of fast charging to laptops and tablets.
As for the other specifications, the Xiaomi AD651P measures 50mm x 50mm x 28mm, which makes it 27% smaller than the 65W PD charger of previous generations. We also have a foldable plug design so that we can further reduce its size.
Finally, the sale price remained unchanged at 99 Yuan, or around 12 euros per exchange.
