basically , a good 100 or 240w usbc-usbc cables are more expsive and are much thicker..
cheap chinese usbc cables sold for few bucks at gas stations are going to give 60w at best..
I think you got some info wrong. You said usb C-A can’t do 100W? My phone has C-A at 120W?
Please just tell me what type of charger is the best and fastest
for an android phone.
best complete explanation, great job! keep up the work
Can I use a C-C cable to charge a device rated for A-C 500mA charging?
180 and 240 W have no implementations (apart from cables) afaik.
I am using the proprietary fast charge and cable that came with my phone, and the wattage corresponds with the max charging power this phone supports
Can you make a video on the correlation to the cable watts and what type of charging brick you need ?!?
Ah yes, USB cable identifiers use the three Boolean values of "true", "false" and "undefined". Love that hack 😂
wait this guy makes real videos now?
I always figured that A to C was going to be slower than C to C since C was newer format than old USB A which seems to have been around forever. I usually use C to C to fast charge and use A to C to charge things overnight. Usually the A to C is just slow enough that when I wake up the next morning it’s at 100% leaving it charging for about 5 hours while I sleep.
What about USB-A ports rated at 22.5W?
Xiaomi phones come with USB-A to USB-C cables and some charge up to 210W.
I love the titles of the "stock videos" on these. "Confused Computer Man" lol.
But has the idiotic 100W+ right next to a data line which fries the chips should a spec of damp fluff allow current flow across the terminals, been resolved in the new specification?
its the opposite. I have 100w cables with 40GB of data bandwidth charging at 18w and sending zero data…
3:59 his voice changed to a voice you would hear in a commercial kinda in this part lol
I have a USB a to c that supports 67W
240W is 48V 5A; 5A is 5A. DC and DC. Why need different cable when the amperage stays the same.
i have the xiaomi redmi note 12 pro 5G and it can charge with up to 67W and it came with a power brick(obviously cause it’s not apple) AND a USB A to USB C Cable….also i think the 120W version comes with a USB A to USB C cable….just that u all know that the 15W are not 100% true…..
I honestly don’t know if I can believe or trust this guy after all of the garbage videos he’s released in the past like using tin foil and CDs to increase the speed of your WiFi.
His credibility is questionable.
Hmmm… So is OnePlus cheating (aka some exceptionsto the rules)… The "Red Cable" that came with my current phone and the 100W Supervooc charger has a Type C for the phone end and a Type A at the charger end. It certainly charges non-One Plus devices at their rated PD, QC and PPS supported ratings too (like my old Moto One 5G Ace).
My phone charger show a rating of 18W ( 12V and 1.5A), yet it still use a type a to type c. Is this false advertisement or they have something else. I have a redmi note 10s.
if a type A to C cable can maximum supply 15w power than how my charger charge my phone at 33w using type A to C cable.
4:51
Somehow my Xiaomi charger has only USB-A connector and it supports PD charging up to 33W.
I didn’t learn anything from this. This guy just garbled out numbers for 10 minutes then at the end he said something about a water pipe like that’s supposed to help? I thought you were talking about charging phones
Your videos are simple, quite straightforward, easy to understand. But can I have more sources from USB-IF about 60W requirements on USB C-C cables?
I’d love to thanks anyone who can provide me the further reading.
What about Apple Lightning cables?
My USB micro is only able to be used at a angle and is very sensitive about it, why can’t everything be USB 3.0? It’s durable instead of shitty USB c or micro, too fragile
Now they just need to print / label the information on the cable.
I’ve been using my current phone for 3 years now and it survived countless falls unscathed, even from the top of my truck going 50mph (it’s got a good case). It fully charges in less than half an hour regardless of which cord I use (has to be the original charger that came with the phone) and has no difficulty going for the whole day. The cord, on the other hand, breaks one after another. It just seems more logical to invest in quantity over quality at this point. I have huge respect for people who can have so many old cords lying around. Mine almost never survive to old age. 😂
Apple power bricks were 30w back in the day idk if that hurt my iphone 6 battery even more but it seems the newer 240w cables are smarter now
Nicethank you
SKIP
how can’t usb a handle more than 15W when my phone charges at 67W with a usb a to c cable? the power brick is made for usb a (5-20V, 6.2-3.25A)
Then why do oneplus deliver usb a – usb c with 100w charging? 🤔
Now I want to test my cables and the wall warts they plug into. Some generate extra heat. I don’t like that. It’s also good to buy an outlet tester and test any outlets you plug your devices into.
well my phone has VOOC charging which takes A to C cables rated for 5A and i am using the included cable on that charger so yeah, its the right type of cable. as for the spare charger i use with my tablet(ns surface go) that can be charged via USB C PD, a normal C to C cable is enough since the original charger is 25W. but as far as charging random devices and my phone overnight, i tend to use cheap cables that have usb C, micro usb and lightning connector at the end.
What about using adapters? USB-A to USB-C for double ended USB-C cables that come with your new phone, so you can continue to use USB-A power sources. Do the they restrict turbo charging. Any recommendations for adapters?
I have these magnet-tipped USB-A to USBC/MicroUSB/Apple/etc. that use interchangeable ends for universality. My tablets CAN fast charge with the USBC tips even though the power end is USB A. What do you think is going on here? Is the magnetized end lying to the device to draw that much power? (serious question)
My OnePlus 12 does 100 Watt over a Type A to Type C cable. The charger that comes with it is Type A 100 watts.
Great video. But there is still one issue. My Sennheiser Momentum 3 headphone does not recognize my charger if I use USC C to USB C. Using an USB A to USB C Cable works fine.
Maybe the pins are used different from supplier to supplier.
This video is wrong on the USB-A to C information. There are USB A to C cables that can deliver more then 15W, but those are more like custom cables.
The USB cable that comes with a smartphone for example. I have a phone that charges with 67W and it came with an USB-A charger and an USB-A to C cable. It charges with 67W with that included charger and cable. That USB-A charger uses either 5V/3A or fast charge with 20V/3,25A.
I thought that USB volt meter you had in the video would be listed on a sponsored link 😀
The slower the better for the battery. Understand?
What? So those Ugreen 60W silicone cable don’t have a E-marker chip? Damn. False advertising huh.
I have a USB A to C cable that charges my phone at more than 20 watts ,so 8 think the claim these cables suport up to 15 watts is not true
i’ve been buying so many cute usb cable, i dont even know their quality….
Right now, im looking for a 60-100 watt USB A To C Cable. Its possible, but people seriously dont make them.
That’s interesting. I have a USB A -> C that can do QuickCharge…I wonder what Qualcomm is doing that allows that to work given the stated limitations on the A-C cables.
