Dear Friends,

You can now even charge e-bikes, vacuums, and other devices that are noticeably larger than smartphones via USB-C. However, the higher the wattage, the more critical proper thermal management becomes.

Find all my magazines from 2006 on in our free archive on bodospower.com. There is no better way to communicate. We all share one world. As a publisher I serve the world: one magazine, on time, every time.

Kind regards,
Bodo Arlt
