Asus Ai Charger

The Asus AI charger is a small utility for Windows that lets the USB ports of an ASUS motherboard supply more current, so your PC can charge Apple devices faster. You can charge your iPhone, iPad, iPod, or another device that supports the USB Battery Charging 1.1 (BC 1.1) specification directly from your PC while you work or play. The Asus AI charger is designed for desktops and notebooks built on ASUS motherboards; on other hardware it may not install or have any effect. The tool only speeds up charging and does not sync or back up the device, so copying files remains the job of iTunes or a cloud client such as mega.

Features:

• Speeds up charging of iPhone, iPad and iPod; ASUS claims up to 50% faster
• Works on PCs with supported ASUS motherboards
• Runs in the background with a tray icon and needs no complex setup
• Allows you to charge your Apple devices while you work on your PC

Asus AI charger lets the USB ports of an ASUS-based PC supply more current, so an iPhone, iPad or iPod charges faster.

In a unique marriage of Apple device and PC, the Asus AI charger is a lightweight Windows utility that allows you to charge your Apple devices directly from your PC. The program works by letting the motherboard USB ports deliver more than the standard 500 mA of a regular USB 2.0 port, which enables them to charge Apple devices faster. Asus AI charger is a straightforward installation, and you will need to restart your computer once you have installed it before using it. Once you plug in your device, it should begin charging at the higher rate. The program has no real interface of its own and simply runs with a small icon in the taskbar, letting you know that it is ready to use. The utility is freeware and is no longer actively developed; newer ASUS boards use Ai Charger+ or Ai Charger II, which are part of the ASUS AI Suite software.

So if you own a PC with an ASUS motherboard and often charge an iPhone, iPad or iPod from it, Asus AI charger is a free and simple way to shorten the charging time. Owners of newer ASUS boards should check the support page of their motherboard for the charging tool that matches their hardware.
