What are the features of Brennenstuhl chargers (Schuko & CEE)?

Brennenstuhl offers two variants of mobile chargers, which mainly differ in power, type of connection, and area of use:
👉 Schuko (household socket) and CEE (three-phase power)

🔌 1. Schuko Charger (Household Socket)

The Schuko charger is the simplest and most flexible solution for charging on the go or in everyday life.

Typical features:

• Connection to a standard 230V socket
• Charging power approx. 2.3 kW (single-phase, 10 A)
• Ideal for:
  • Emergency charging on the go
  • Charging without special infrastructure
• Plug & Play – no installation required

Comfort & functions:

• Display with charging information
• Timer function for delayed charging
• Compact design & easy to transport

👉 Advantage: maximum availability (usable almost everywhere)
👉 Disadvantage: significantly longer charging times

⚡ 2. CEE Charger (Three-Phase Power)

The CEE charger is the more powerful solution for faster charging.

Typical features:

• Connection to a CEE socket (400V, 3-phase)
• Charging power up to 11 kW
• Adjustable charging current (e.g. 8–16 A)
• Significantly faster charging times than Schuko

Comfort & functions:

• Display with:
  • Voltage, current, charging power, energy consumption
• Timer function (1–10 hours delay)
• 8 m cable for high flexibility

👉 Advantage: fast and efficient charging
👉 Disadvantage: requires CEE connection (not available everywhere)

🛡️ Common Safety and Quality Features

Both chargers offer extensive safety features:

• Overvoltage and undervoltage protection
• Overload protection
• Residual current protection (RCD)
• Temperature monitoring

Additionally:

• IP44 protection class (splash water protection)
• Robust design for indoor and outdoor use
• Operating range approx. -30 °C to +50 °C

⚖️ Brief Comparison: Schuko vs. CEE

👉 Conclusion:

• Schuko = maximum flexibility, but slow
• CEE = significantly faster, but dependent on three-phase power connection
