Battery icon next to USB port indicates USB Power Delivery capability

A battery symbol next to a USB port signifies that it supports USB Power Delivery (USB PD), allowing it to supply higher power levels and charge connected devices. USB PD was introduced in 2012 and updated in 2021 to deliver up to 240W, enabling it to power high-end laptops and monitors. This marking helps users identify ports capable of faster charging and more demanding power transfer.
