Reddit reviews Anker Powerline USB-C to USB-C 2.0 Cable(3ft), Power Delivery PD Charging for Apple MacBook, Huawei Matebook, iPad Pro 2018, Chromebook, Pixel, Switch, and More Type-C Devices/Laptops

Double reply so you get a notification about this.

Using an old car charger (2.4A) with a proper USB-A -> USB-C 3.0 cable (this one https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A6F3WHG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) charged my phone from 60% to 100% in roughly 1 hour. The phone never said "charging rapidly" either, so you're not getting Power Delivery with that. I am buying a proper USB-C car charger later this week, I can DM you with an update on that.

Edit: Adding this as well in case someone else is looking for this info, but this what I dm'd OP:

Alright so I bought this cable: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A6G0CTQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and this car charger https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B079MWXSS8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They both work great, fast charging and everything.

For what it's worth, this is also a good power bank: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B079Z4RHZZ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have these and can verify that they all Turbo Charge the X4, should work fine for the 5X as well:

• Motorola TurboPower Charger
  
• AUKEY Car Charger
  
• USB-C to USB-C Cable (for Car Charger)

Can anyone verify that these fit properly and actually charge the phone? I bought some anker usb c cables from amazon that were advertised to fit my OP2, but they didn't. Upon connecting to my phone, they only went in 90% and didn't charge. I had to put a considerable amount of force for it to plug in, which wasn't worth it. I called anker and returned them. Now these monoprice cables look exactly like the anker ones. I'm worried these won't fit because the actual USB C port on the stock OnePlus cable has three silver prongs that are of equal size, while the anker and possibly this cable have a middle prong of much smaller size.

There's a 3ft and 6ft

huh. I'm having exactly the same problem. Started a few weeks ago after I used an A-C adapter. Won't charge from any native USB-C source. I need to call Google one of these days, I haven't bothered yet.

N6P.
I've got a weird issue.
I bought this micro->C adapter and this portable battery at the same time. Plugged in the C-C cord, charged my phone perfectly. I plug in the micro->C adaptor on a micro cord, charges fine. I plugged into my factory charger...nothing. This elicited a nice "wtf?" moment. But I was going out of town, so I used the micro cord and the adapter, worked fine during the trip.

Got home. Factory charger still isn't working. I flip the C-C cord around, and the charging icon quickly flips between lightning bolt and nothing. Another "WTF?" moment.
Well, maybe the cord went bad or something. Grab this charger and a new C-C cord. New charger and new cord doesn't charge at all. New cord on factory charger doesn't charge at all. Old cord on new charger doesn't charge at all.

Take it out to the car. 2.4A type C, no charging at all.

3 different USB-A chargers charge it fine with the micro-C adapter on several different A-micro cords, including the new Anker charger. The factory A-C cord does work fine.

What
The
Fuck
?

Did the micro->C adapter break something? And if so, why does the phone still charge fine when using it? Anything that would be rapid charging (>2.1A) fails completely. Anything not rapid charging works fine. RMA time?

You need a USB C --> USB C cable for the Rapid Charging. I just bought this cable from amazon and I have a car charger coming

I am a big fan of Anker products. I've bought portable battery packs from them, cables, adapters, without issue.

Here is a usb-c to usb-c cable:

Here is a usb micro to usb-c adapter:

Here is a great car charger that supports fast charging and other usb types:

I've bought all 3 of these products and had no issues (been a few months now). The usb micro to usb-c is nice because now you can re-use all of those cables from your old phone you have laying around.

2-3 meters is tough to find I guess. I went with this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A6G0CTQ which suits me fine for $8. I had bought a $25 as well but tested both and found no difference so I returned the more expensive one.

Try the Anker powerline branded ones they are the gold standard and family priced as well black or red.

> What type of USB-C cable do you use?

I use an Anker PowerLine one, specifically this one. I have had no issues and really you can't go wrong as long as the cable has good reviews on Amazon.

>Also, what wall charger do you use to charge the battery?

What you've heard about the wall charger is valid. I mainly use the Switch AC adapter to charge it because using microUSB takes FOREVER to charge the battery. However if you want a seperate charger that isnt the OEM AC Adapter, something like this should work fine.

The key is to look and see if the charger supports USB-Power Delivery and can output 15V 2A. If a charger does that and has good reviews, you're set.

All anker cables like these support fast charging. Sorry, i did not post the usb c ones you are correct. But they will work 100%. Also i have usb to usb c adapters and they still work perfectly .linked them below :)

Nope, if you're buying this USB-C power bank, then you need a USB-C to USB-C cable, like this well-rated one. The one you linked to is a USB-C to USB-A (or USB 3.0), this would only trickle charge your Switch even though you had bought a USB-C power bank.

I purchased this cable as a 2nd back up and is works well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A6G0CTQ/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_5dAGxbVPE7449

Yeah, I understand why you'd wan the Innergie, but I'd go with the iVoler in my opinion, iVoler for home and Innergie for traveling to uni/work. But if you're on long trips I'd bring the iVoler.

I wouldn't ever charge a Type-C phone with an A-C cable because most A-C cable manufacturers still aren't USB-C compliant.

I hate to be that guy, but this is why OEMs tell you to charge with the cable that came with the phone. If you really need extra cables, you could always pick some up off Amazon. I'd go with Anker's PowerLine brand.
