    16 Amps at 20V … what type of cables will they use? USB-C cables won’t allow this much current.

          I hypothesize that they’re using three or four USB PD, 20V 5A circuits in parallel. This would keep the hardware cheap.

          But, a single USB cable could only handle two circuits. I’m with you. I wonder what cables they’ll use.

    Isn’t higher current bad for battery longevity? How long will this thing last if you regularly charge it like that?

      I don’t think we have the stats yet, but it most likely will not increase the lifespan of the battery ;)

      My guess would be something like 500 cycles, which would roughly translate to 1-2 years, until the battery degrades noticeably.
