Equinux tizi fuel station for Apple MacBook and iPhone
If you want to charge your Apple MacBook (Pro) via USB, then a lot of power is required in terms of the charger. Of the total 75 watts of the Equinux tizi tank station, 15 watts go to the three USB-A ports, leaving 60 watts for the USB-C port. That's enough to charge the MacBook, for example, but also the iPhone X or the iPhone 8 models via Power Delivery. For the smartphones you need a USB-C to Lightning adapter from Apple. But the iPhone models from before 2017 also charge quickly with the device, since up to 2,4 Ampere per USB-A port.
Outbound performance overview
With an input of 100 to 240 V at 50 to 60 Hz and 1,5 A, the Equinux tizi tank station delivers the following values via the above outputs, depending on the connected device:
USB-C PD | USB-A |
20V, 3A (60W) | 5V, 2,4A (12W) |
15V, 3A (45W) | 5V, 2,1A (10,5W) |
12V, 3A (36W) | 5V, 1,5A (7,5W) |
9V, 3A (27W) | 5V, 1,0A (5W) |
5V, 3A (15W) | 5V, 0,5A (2,5W) |
So if you connect an Apple iPhone or iPad to one of the three A ports, which already needs 2,4A for the shortest charging time, then there will be a shortage of other sophisticated devices. However, some devices charge with a significantly lower value, which compensates for this.

Compared to the Anker PowerPort + 5 USB-C with Power Delivery
Of course there are also other chargers on the market, such as the Anker PowerPort + 5 USB-C with Power Delivery. This also brings 60W of power to the clock, but distributes it to a C connection and four A ports. This means that with multiple occupancy you do not draw full PD power, as with the Equinux tizi tank station described above. If you want to take a look at the Anker model, you will of course find it at Amazon for 50,49 EUR.
