# OPPO’s 100W Charging Technology: A Transformative Advancement on OnePlus Devices
In the dynamic realm of smartphones, battery longevity and charging efficiency are among the top priorities for users. While a majority of Android smartphones today feature some level of rapid charging, not all fast-charging solutions are the same. OPPO’s SuperVOOC charging innovation has established a new benchmark in the industry, providing remarkable charging speeds that are now accessible on all OnePlus devices. With the capacity to fully charge a phone in less than 30 minutes, OPPO’s 100W charging technology is truly groundbreaking.
## The Progression of Fast Charging
OPPO initially launched its VOOC (Voltage Open Loop Multi-step Constant-Current Charging) technology in 2014. At first, the charging rate was limited to 20W, which was already remarkable for that period. Devices such as the OnePlus 6T could achieve a 60% charge in merely 35 minutes, marking a noteworthy advance in charging technology.
Fast forward to 2019, when OPPO unveiled VOOC 3.0, boosting the charging speed to 30W. This enhancement enabled devices like the OnePlus 7T to see a 70% charge in just 30 minutes. The subsequent major advance arrived in 2020 with the launch of SuperVOOC 2.0, which introduced 65W charging capabilities. This allowed smartphones to be fully charged in under 40 minutes, setting a new record.
Currently, OPPO’s SuperVOOC technology has further developed, with 100W charging being the standard on numerous OPPO and OnePlus models. This empowers users to completely charge their phones in under 30 minutes, eliminating battery anxiety.
## The Mechanism Behind SuperVOOC
At the heart of SuperVOOC’s success lies its distinctive methodology for fast charging. Unlike other fast-charging technologies that rely on elevated voltages, SuperVOOC prioritizes higher amperage. For instance, while USB Power Delivery (PD) sends 20V at 3.25A to achieve 65W, SuperVOOC delivers 10V at 6.5A to attain the same power output. This differing approach allows SuperVOOC to charge devices more swiftly without causing overheating.
One of SuperVOOC’s key advancements is the incorporation of a dual-cell battery system. For example, the OnePlus 12, with a 5400mAh battery, actually comprises two 2700mAh cells. This enables the 100W charge to be distributed between the two cells, resulting in swifter and more efficient charging.
Moreover, most of the charging circuitry is integrated into the wall adapter rather than the phone itself. This design keeps the phone cool during charging, allowing users to continue utilizing their devices without any noticeable drop in performance or charging speed.
## SuperVOOC 100W: Revitalizing Your Phone in 30 Minutes
A highlight feature of SuperVOOC 100W is its capability to fully charge a phone in under 30 minutes. For instance, the OnePlus 12 can rise from 0% to 72% in just 15 minutes, with the remaining 28% needing another 15 minutes. This gradual tapering of charging speed is intentional, preventing battery deterioration and overheating.
Additionally, a significant benefit of SuperVOOC is its ability to uphold rapid charging speeds even while the phone is actively in use. Whether you are streaming videos or gaming, SuperVOOC ensures that your phone remains charged quickly without risking overheating. This notably contrasts with other rapid-charging technologies, which frequently reduce speed when the phone is in use to avert overheating.
Furthermore, OPPO has made tremendous improvements in battery lifespan. Despite the 100W charging capability, OPPO guarantees 1600 charging cycles before any noticeable battery decline—an impressive milestone in fast charging technology.
## OPPO and OnePlus: A Collaborative Legacy of Charging Advancements
From the outset, OnePlus has utilized OPPO’s charging technology, albeit under different names. Early OnePlus models featured “Dash Charge,” essentially OPPO’s 20W VOOC technology. As charging rates rose, OnePlus rebranded the technology as “Warp Charge,” with the latest version being Warp Charge 65, derived from SuperVOOC 65W.
With the introduction of 100W SuperVOOC, OnePlus devices like the OnePlus 12 now offer some of the fastest charging rates available in the market. However, it is important to note that in North America, OnePlus restricts charging speeds to 80W due to voltage variations. This results in a slightly extended charging time, but the difference is minimal—approximately eight additional minutes.
