so true

If this doesn't get hearted and pinned, i am gonna explode

Just buy Anker cables

Your insurance company called, your insurance was invalidated.

​@@John-Smith02same ch I nese sh!t, different pale. Anker was in several overheating scandals

what does the U stand for

​@@rqertip Universal Serial Bus, I believe

Universal applies to the serial bus, I.e the way the data is handled. Sure connectors are complicated but it’s extremely rare to not be able to communicate between 2 devices using USB. It very likely works, so in that sense it’s universal.

@@atavanHyes

Absolutely. USB used to mean 5v. I did wonder how you could then then 60, 95 and other wattages. 95 (or 100) watts at 5v over this flimsy cable. Ah… 20v … right. And now I see 36, 48, 9 and everything under the sun. The lesson is that USB-C is a universal _connector_ but power is not universal and the same socket might be Thunderbolt or other protocol, so how data goes over it is not universal

this, i like to slow charge over night. when i need to quickly have fill up the battery i use my laptop charger.

fast charging is better than leaving charging over night

@@hphp31416 well my pixel does slowly charge until my alarm clock rings. Tbh it doesn't matter which charger I'm using in that case. General it's better to not fast charge if you can avoid it

@@hphp31416 that’s not how that works. You need to know how the battery works first. I’m not gonna explain it all but between the two chambers in a lithium battery there’s a layer the weaker, thinner, etc the layer, the worse it holds charge. This layer gets worse the faster and more often you charge. So for battery health slow charging is actually better. Also never letting it hit 100% or 0% helps but.. lets be real nobody gonna keep track of that at night.

I can confirm that hitting 0% or 100% is bad for battery health, as well as fast charging. Actually, some manufacturers have settings to help with that. They might have a setting to cap the charge at 85% (for people who gave good battery autonomy and charge their phone every night for example), or have adaptive charging that slow charges your phone overnight so that it charges at the slowest rate possible but it's still fully charged when your alarm rings. For people who want their battery to last longer, it's definitely worth having a look at the Battery section of your settings to check for similar settings!

the more power you charge your battery with, the more ware and tare the battery get over time. The amazing huawei charger with 5 million watts or something will kill your battery within a year due to the power amount.. If you want a battery that last long time you need to slow charge it.. it add the smallest amount of ware and tare on the battery.. My phone is 4+ years old so it wont matter if i connect 10 billion watts and 5000 Amps to it.. it wont charge faster..

@@lokelaufeyson9931 If your laptop is power hungry, it might actually suck power from the battery although you have it on wall power. It's also "wear and tear".

@@graealex A battery will wear and tear from simply being used, its the lovely chemical mix in the battery that eat it from the inside. You can "overcharge" a laptop if it have a internal charge control (use a charger with more amps) .. It will give the laptop more charge since the charger can handle more power at the same time. It wont charge too much volt but the amp is higher so it can handle more load and still charge good. it can help if it cant charge properly when used. Watch out so you dont go overboard and use a charger that give 10x the volt.. I used to charge a emergency battery with a laptop charger, i think the charger was able to handle 2 amps i think.. maybe 2.5.. compared to 1.3 amps on a phone charger. It dropped the charge time down to half, no heat or other dangers.. Some laptops come with a charger that is almost exactly what the computer need but on the cheap side.. (have built custom chargers/power adapters out of old laptop chargers for some time now, saved me 35$ last time since i didnt need to buy a special power plug for a thingy i bought).

@@lokelaufeyson9931 Half of what you wrote is technically bullshit. Especially your understanding about "volts and amps". These do not work as independently as you think.

@@graealex Why so SERIOUS!?!?!?! not to be that guy but discuss technical details on youtube is a technical "why bro?" If you want details or deeper information i would recommend you to read a wikipedia. Im sure that you have a nuclear power plant of energy but there is something called time zones..

can confirm, i have a 120W usb-a to usb-c charger for my phone

I confirm, my Xiaomi charges at 55W with an USB-A to C cable

I can confirm, my Poco (a brand owned by Xiaomi, my power brick also says Xiaomi) charger says it can deliver 67W on the fast charging. It is an A to C cable. It can do up to 20V and 6.2A I think.

interesting

Those are bad cables breaking specs and ceritifactions.

Cool, i think we will soon see things like e-bike battery pack which is also a power bank which is also a car battery jump starter, which is also an inverter, etc. We now have the possibilities of having more n-in-1 where n is going to skyrocket.

I have 7 portable radios with USB-C charging ports, none of which can charge from these smart PD power supplies. The power supply ignores them.

Those older cables are worth keeping, though. The copper's better to work on in them, and you can _at the very least_ chop the client end off to wire in and pair low-draw devices with the power leads alone. Don't need to be a geek to understand that much.

Those use the older quick charge protocols. My Huawei supports 22.5 W (5 V 4.5 A)

Yeah those are quick charge which requires the phone to be QC compatible which he didn't get into. It was Qualcomm proprietary (the other manufacturers came out with their own specs) and was the main spec used to deliver fast charging speed before PD became mainstream.

This is what i was thinking, i have a realme phone that supports 60w. The charger is 60w usb A to C and it charges more or less around 60w. Bit confusing 🤔

Mine does 60w

Yeah those use different quick charge specs, not using the regular USB-PD

The app device hw info also has this info in a more accessible manner

I bought one rated for 40Gbps and 240W recently it advertised as usb3.2 gen2x2 though I don't have any device that can handle more than 60W or transfer more than 10Gbps it can at least charge all my devices at full speed and connect an external drive at full speed.

The second type of that high power cable is now currently used in phones with 120+W super quick charge capability. It offers super high power delivery but the data transfer speed is not great

It's not impossible, just difficult because you're asking for the max spec in both categories. A little over a year ago I bought Club 3D CAC-1576 cables, which are rated USB4 40Gbps AND 240W, but they're only 1m/3.28ft long and quite expensive. Recently I've noticed that Club 3D now have CAC-1578 cables that are the same but 2m/6.56ft long.

@@Tarkhein ok

@ThioJoe at 6:20 it's impossible that the 100W rating has been deprecated because this cable is currently the fastest USB-C to USB-C [Thunderbolt 4Gbps] cable for sale from both Belkin and Apple manufacturers.

The charging speed is fundamentally determined by the power management chip(PMIC) on the charged device, not the charger nor the charging cable. Unfortunately due to (probably liability) reasons manufacturers won't normally let you configure it unless you hacked the operating system/firmware. The most practical thing you can do, however, is to deliberately choose a charger/cable combination so that the PMIC will automatically use a lower speed to draw current from the charger, or buy a charger/charging accessory product(like Chargie) that connects the charged device via Bluetooth and had a dedicated application running on the charged device that automatically shuts down the power supply over a predetermined criteria(e.g. battery capacity/time on charge).

Having 2 chargers: basic 5-10W one and fast 60-100W charger (and 2 cables for convinionce reasons) does the trick. Now task changes to finding a permanent place to have a slow charger (with a cable) near you'r bed. P. S. I dont particulary like 5W chargers, some phones will attempt to load those with 7.5W resulting in charger failing very fast, 10W ones dont have such a problem.

It's up to the device to manage that. I know newer androids automatically limit the charge rate to be charged up by when you wake up (e.g. if you have an alarm set up)

@@volodumurkalunyak4651 That's because the 7.5W power rate(5V, 1.5A) is within the USB BC charging specification, while 5W isn't, thus the charged devices may be confused and incorrectly draw too much of current from the charger. You should definitely avoid such chargers unless you can be certain the charger-charging cable-charged device combination won't draw current over the charger spec., which, may cause fire hazard.

​@@FAB1150 I believe such feature is Google Pixel brand specific(Adaptive Charging) and is not universally implemented in other Android brands.

The video covers the charging rates, which is complex enough for such videos aimed at laymen for accessibility of information. Transfer rates can be covered in a different video (he probably already has).

Also, he doesn't use any music while he's talking. I don't understand why YT hosts who are telling us stuff (like why this plane crashed or how the I-10 [it's in California, for those not familiar with the USA Interstate system] is going to be repaired or how to do some DIY project) feel the need to add music (allegedly 'background') while they speak. It is useless at best and distracting/annoying at worst. Unless it's a dance video or an actual music video, we really don't need to have any music while the hosts are talking. And some folks tell me to turn on the closed captions. Now, another good thing here is that his closed captions are real, not auto-generated. Just before this, I was watching an aviation video and yes, they had music, so I enabled the c/c and the word 'seat' was written as 'seed.' As I knew what he was talking about, there wasn't any serious confusion, but still, he didn't need any music. Why waste the time to add it?

Well If you have higher watt charging you can basically forget charging at night as you can do it whenever you want and all it takes is 15 mins. I think you/your mom must be an apple user to think that way😂😂

@@sharzo7728 no one in our family can afford an iPhone. Or maybe my grandfather could... but he doesn't care enough for phones, he instead wants to improve his cottage and maintain his expensive car. (his phone is Galaxy M51 I think btw.)

I can explain that here. All usb c cables contain the usb 2.0 wires, power wires and the sbus cables. Additionally the cable can contain upto 4 high speed twisted pairs for usb 3 and 4. Cables that don't have these wires don't need to have the corresponding pins on the connector present. Similarly devices that don't use these contacts don't need pins in the device connector.

🤦

It is very impressive that this is possible. I have my doubts over if this is a overall a good thing but it is quite an technological marvel. PD, data and video can go over a USB-C cable, but not ethernet. Your ethernet adapter is located in your docking station. This is controlled via USB Data, and not Ethernet. Ethernet requires magnetics which aren't part of the USB port. Cable length is one tradeoff by this all-in-one cable design. You need thicker gauge wires for power and signal integrity goes down with distance. Even USB 2 didn't support very long cable lengths. USB was designed to plug in your mouse and keyboard, not as a general ethernet cable.
