Yes, the Diesel port is suitable for this. But unfavorable because of the USB standard specifications. It is better to charge an iPad at the "Super" or "Normal" port, as the iPad can decide here to charge with 1A charging current (This defines the iPad, athough the "Normal" port would offer 2A). This ist the advantage of "Super Plus", as the iPad gets here the maximum 2,1A.

It is possible to charge all of these devices with the tizi Tankstation and tizi Tankstelle USB-C chargers.
Note regarding MacBook 15" Touch Bar
The MacBook 15" Touch Bar is shipped with a Apple 87 watt charger. The full 87 watts are rarely required for normal use. They are only needed when the MacBook Pro 15" Touch Bar is under full load (for example when executing processor intensive tasks like gaming or Video cutting, or when other external USB-C devices are connected to your MacBook Pro.) In such cases it can happen, that your MacBook Pro 15" either charges slower than the original charger, or possibly lose some of its charge. Things like quitting intensive Apps, reducing screen brightness, or disconnecting external USB-C consumers will help to reduce the power consumption.
During normal use, a 60W charger like the tizi Tankstation USB-C + 3 USB-A (75W) or the tizi Tankstelle 60W USB-C is sufficient to achieve comparable charging speeds as the original charger from Apple.
Apple and all modern smartphone manufacturers use active charging control mechanisms with in their devices. The iPhone/iPad or smartphone actively decides how much current to use and which energy gets requested from the charger. In no case will a tizi device "push" a certain amount of power into an iPhone/iPad or smartphone!
How can a tizi charger always provide iPhone / iPads with maximum fast performance?
The best way to imagine this is as follows: When plugged in, an iPhone / iPad uses a communication protocol to ask the power supply about the maximum power that can be drawn. Our tizi charging devices (Tankstelle, Tankstation, Turbolader, Kraftprotz, etc.) respond correctly and the iPhone / iPad starts to charge. Initially maybe with 500mA, then 1A, then with 2.4A etc. Depending on the model and the current charge level, but also on the battery temperature of the iPhone / iPad, the Apple charge controller decides actively and independently how much power should be drawn.
Thanks to the above-mentioned exchange about the maximum power, the Apple charging controller can be sure that it will get this power at any time over the charging period.
What do tizi chargers do better than "standard" or cheap power supplies?
Power supplies can have errors or problems at different levels. Here are two classic examples:
- With cheaper power adapters, the communication protocol is often missing, meaning the adapter and the iPhone / iPad are unable to communicate properly. If an iPhone / iPad gets a strange result from the power supply when the performance data is exchanged (e.g. the protocols of both devices do not understand each other), then an iPhone only charges with a maximum of 500mA, which is very very slow. In this case, the iPad will show the "Not charging" message. The iPhone / iPad does this in order to prevent the power supply from becoming overloaded.
- Another problem is possible overload - leading to a fire hazard. For example, this could occur if the cheap power supply tells the iPhone / iPad that it is able to charge up to 2.4A. If an iPad then requests this current during the charging process, the power supply will become overloaded. In the best case, it will simply turn off. However, it could also overheat and catch fire.
tizi flip ULTRA USB-C to Lightning cables
Please pay attention to only use Apple Mfi certified cables. There are regular problems with uncertified cables. How does it affect your devices? Your devices will not charge, or maybe only charge a little bit. In addition, Apple can switch with any iOS update, which can potentially make not licensed cables inactive. Try to refrain from purchasing uncertified USB-C to lightning cables from unauthorized international sellers.
When charging, plug the cable into the Lightning jack on your iPhone / iPad and then into the USB-C jack on your tizi device.
The Hight Power USB Port has been designed for charging your iPad.
You can also charge any other device on this port. If your device needs more power, it will charge faster on this port. If not, your device will also be charged perfectly fine.

Terminals that require more than 1,000mA are sensitive to it. With cables, always buy branded products. The market is unfortunately flooded with cheap goods.
