What's the fastest way to charge the Realme GT 5?

Up to 100W using Dart Charge, which requires the matching official charger and cable.

Do I need the original/OEM charger for the Realme GT 5?

To hit the full 100W, yes — Dart Charge is a proprietary protocol that only reaches full speed with a matching charger and cable. Third-party USB-C PD chargers still work, just at a lower fallback wattage.

Realme GT 5 Charging Guide: Fast-Charge Wattage, Protocol & Cable Requirements

Supported charging protocols

Protocol	Max wattage
Dart Charge	100W
USB PD	33W

Cable requirements

You'll need a cable rated rated at least 6A for this protocol's own cable spec to actually reach 100W — a thinner or unmarked cable will silently cap the speed.

Good to know

Full 100W needs Realme's own charger and cable; generic USB-C PD chargers fall back to ~33W.
