fast charger

Rapid battery replenisher

A fast charger is a device that charges batteries significantly quicker than standard chargers, typically by delivering higher wattage.

The term appears most often with electric vehicles and smartphones: The hotel has fast chargers in the parking garage, My phone came with a fast charger.

What counts as "fast" keeps shifting as technology improves—yesterday's fast charger becomes today's baseline.
