It is electrically not feasable to design something like this. Two different Plugs always need the same common Ground. Pulses Overvoltage Proctection Spike Protection. Thats Costing more than buying oneself the 240w Brick from Delta. When the FW16 was released there was no 240w Brick on the Market. This is the First one,
Waiting for mine to come as well. Though balanced mode is by far is the sweet spot, it would be nice to be able to set it to high performance for the occasional “just for the heck of it 'cuz it’s there” moments.
I wonder if Framework would be interested in selling these Delta 240W PSUs in their market place.

Would the USB chargers with multiple plugs have the same ground? Like the ones that have a 140W + 100W combination
Well probably, but USB Powerdelivery isnt able to do such things. The DCs have to meet internally in the Laptop as the Power Raild can not be completly encapsulated. Power Surges Crosstalk. This all is an Nightmare in an modern IT Device.

Exactly this!
I can finally keep my battery at 85% without thinking that I need the extra 15% while playing a game.
I thought these 240W Adapters were going to be on back order for a while but this arrived! Didn’t realise it wouldn’t come with a wall plug but I will definitely power back once that arrives now I’ve ordered it. I should have known better but glad it won’t be draining batteries when going full steam and plugged in.

Do you have a Framework charger?
It uses that same type of AC cord. Should be fully compatible. It’s a standardized connector, the “Mickey Mouse ears”. It’s an IEC 60320 C5 connector. IEC 60320 - Wikipedia

Could you photo how the permanent cable is attached and the 180W adapter side by side with this one from all 3 axis for size comparison?

Damn, I dunno why I didn’t check 
thank you!
Ooh, that’s exciting. Thanks for sharing! I’m tempted to grab one from Digikey since it looks like they have a few more in stock.

It seems the USB output is fixed. ???
So to be careful of cable fraying etc.
Now to hear from you if it works.
Good luck and thanks for being the ‘tester’ here

Nice that you have a 240W supply to test. Bummer they elected to go with a fixed USBC cable. The decision was probably made so people did not plug the wrong cable into it and not get the 240W because the cable was not capable of handling it. This would significanly reduce the “return” rate of users who thought it was defective and did not deliver on the 240W promise.
I personally hope someone makes the Arrow/Infineon 240W PD3.1 model as it looks nice and compact, has been tested to be dissapative enough, and has a slot for bring your own USBC PD 3.1 cable.
What I feel many people are going to not realize is that the higher wattage is not going to be nearly as efficient as the 100W chargers. This will be used by those that truly need the 240W as they push the laptop to its limits (gaming, etc.) and those that just WANT to have the 240W despite never actually needing it except in bursts which is why the 180W charger was a great decision by Framework at the time.

Dunno what came over me Thank you, those photos cover it nicely!
The cable seems to be quite bulky/thick, that’s good to know. I would anyway wire it permanently into my desk, so this doesn’t bother me.

That’s where I got it, came in like a week.
Yeah, it seems to work great. There was some noise but I attribute that to my cheap usb to display port cable and went away completely when I moved the cords away from each other. I’m guessing with a better display port cable it wouldn’t have been an issue.

Please test this and post results! We want to see numbers and dGPU performance! 
I honestly wouldn’t know how to benchmark it other than it works well and when I’m going all out with gaming using my dGpu the battery no longer drains.

Oh wow, I never linked to the adapter on Digikey’s website. Anyway, this is where I got it for those that want a link. https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/delta-electronics/ADP-240KB-BA/23026419
