PC accessory maker UGREEN already sells a desktop USB charger that delivers up to 300W of total power over four USB-C ports and one USB-A port. But it can't send more than 140W to any single device.

Now the company has introduced an upgraded model that offers up to 240W of power to a single device, and up to 500W when you use it to charge multiple devices.
