PD, PD 3.0, without PD?

[bj097]

Hi. I am confused about some terms I see in the packaging of various power banks in the market.

Sometimes I see PD 3.0, but sometimes it's only PD, without 3.0. What's the difference with and without 3.0?

I'm using 12 mini and I am looking for a power bank that will fast charge my device, I cannot go back to the age of slow charging...

What's the keyword I have to check to make sure the power bank will fast charge my device?

PD is fine it’ll achieve the charge rates needed to fast charge the mini. The other term to look for is 20watt. Any higher wattage and it’ll fast charge. (Even 18 watts with the mini has been show to charge it quickly with the difference literally in minutes compared to 20 watt). So either terms work I think PD is a term for other makers use including anker and android but it’s synonymous to fast chargeging. Apple doesn’t use PD as their term but they talk about watts. Minimum for mini is 20watts. PD meets apples criteria.
