Real-World Performance

1. Reddit feedback indicates that while the charger can hit 140W, it begins throttling after about 30–40 minutes (dropping to ~100W or ~120W) as a cooling measure.
2. This dynamic behavior may go unnoticed during everyday use, such as charging laptops like the MacBook Pro 16″, which self-throttle power draw anyway.
3. Some users note the charger feels heavier and gets hotter compared to other Anker models.
