    It is per their product description

    Our pioneering use of gallium nitride (GaN) means we can create some of the smallest chargers on the planet, without compromising power.

      I mistakenly thought that GaN is only mentioned as part of the company description ("we are pioneers in GaN") and not in the specs of the product itself, so I assumed it is not GaN. My mistake.

      Anyway, this is a great charger (I have a couple of these). At $19.99 it's a fantastic deal for a very reputable brand

    This should a GaN Charger, just an older generation.

    Image 5 and description mentions GaN:

    Greater with GaN

  Is the higher efficiency of GaN chargers enough to notice on a power bill? Or is the smaller size the main benefit by far

    Size mostly

    Depends what you're running with it. Charging a phone daily, no you won't notice the 5c/year savings. But if you're powering some 45W device 24/7 with this, you might see up to $5/year savings. So I suppose you could say this would pay for itself after 4 years, if you're running it 24/7.

    Mostly just the smaller size. GaN can enable slightly better efficiency, but mostly don't. If we look at Anker chargers for example, the switch from silicon to GaN does not result in higher efficiencies - they are about the same, just more compact.

    Also, for normal USB charger use, going from good efficiency, to excellent efficiency, is not a huge money saver. For example, if you used 100W, for 10 hours a day, every day, then a 5% increase in efficiency saves around $5 a year.

    This is because for the low loads experienced in USB chargers, the efficiency increase from the mosfets themselves when switching from Silicon to GaN is relatively small - a few percent. The main advantages come from other charger design changes made possible by using GaN mosfets.

    For example, a key benefit is the ability to run at higher frequencies, which means the capacitors and magnetic components (transformers and inductors) in the charger can be much smaller for a given efficiency.

    It's the design of the charger itself that determines the overall efficiency. Larger magnetics are generally more efficient, so a larger GaN (or Silicon) charger could be built to be more efficient than a smaller one. Since efficiency at these power levels is not a huge issue for end users in terms of the difference in ongoing running cost, the designers will typically opt for a smaller charger, compared to a more efficient one.

    Typically GaN chargers end up being around the same efficiency as silicon mosfet based chargers, just much smaller. That said, some chargers do use GaN mosfets to create a charger that is the same size (or not as small as it could be) and noticeably more efficient, but the difference is still typically only 5% percent increased efficiency overall.

    The other aspect is that chargers only reach peak efficiency at a specific voltage and amperage output - usually near to 75% of max load. So depending on what that is, compared to your usage, this aspect makes a much bigger difference. A charger with a maximum efficiency of 95% might only be 70% efficient at light loads. So if worrying about long term power use, correctly sizing the charger to the main use (such as a laptop) would have a much bigger impact than GaN vs Silicon. (Though it's usually not easy to find the various info needed to size a charger for max efficiency)

  I've seen a lot of discussion about charging my new iPhone 15 Pro Max - and seeking to maximise battery life by choosing the option to charge only to 80% (Settings, Battery, Battery Health & Charging, Charging Optimisation, 80% limit)

  and 'If it's a 15W charger, and you're using the phone whilst it's charging, it won't be charging at 15w. It's pretty well guaranteed to never charge at 100% of the wattage the charger can provide due to efficiency and heat loss' - https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/974pw7v6?p=138#r73633…
