DJI has taken a break from flying cameras to sell something far more grounded: its first GaN charger. The new DJI POWER 140W GaN Charger packs two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, and a bundled cable with a live power display, all for 209 yuan, or about $30.
That price puts it squarely in the crowded fast-charger segment, where Anker, Ugreen, and Baseus have spent years turning wall plugs into tiny power stations. DJI is late to the party, but the spec sheet is not shy. Two USB-C ports can each reach 140W, the USB-A port tops out at 33W, and PD 3.1 support gives it compatibility with modern laptops and phones that can actually use that kind of power.
DJI POWER 140W GaN Charger specifications
- Two USB-C ports, one USB-A port
- Up to 140W from each USB-C port
- USB-A output up to 33W
- PD 3.1 support for modern fast-charging devices
- Dynamic power allocation when multiple devices are connected
- Size: 68.3 mm × 32.2 mm × 64 mm
- Weight: about 245 grams
The clever bit is the way DJI handles shared charging. Power is redistributed dynamically, so plugging in or removing a device should not cause the other ports to stutter. DJI also says its own ecosystem devices get charging priority when attached, which sounds a lot like the sort of brand-first behavior big hardware companies love to sneak into accessories.

GaN is doing the usual GaN job here: keeping the charger relatively small while improving efficiency. The brick includes a foldable plug and built-in over-temperature protection, so it is clearly aimed at travel bags and desk setups rather than dramatic heat management experiments.
DJI is also bundling a 7A digital display data cable, which is the sort of accessory that makes power nerds smile. The braided cable uses an E-Marker smart chip to show real-time power, voltage, and current, supports up to 240W, and still handles USB 2.0 data transfer. In other words: it is a charger for people who want to know exactly how much electricity their gadgets are hoarding.
Why DJI is moving into charging
For DJI, the move makes sense even if it is slightly unexpected. The company already owns a wide ecosystem of cameras, drones, and accessories that need batteries topped up fast, and accessory businesses are often where hardware brands squeeze out reliable recurring sales. The broader market has shown there is real demand for high-wattage USB-C chargers, especially as laptops, tablets, phones, and gaming handhelds all compete for the same outlet.
The real question is whether DJI can turn brand trust into charger sales against incumbents that already dominate shelves and search results. At 140W, the new model is clearly aimed at users with power-hungry gear, but the race in this category is usually won on availability, pricing, and whether the charger is actually in stock when people need one. DJI has the spec sheet. Now it has to prove it can ship the thing at scale.
