Good video, but next time, take the protective film away from the measurement device front and back. That film is just for protection during transportation. The display gets a lot easier to read withuot the packaging. The USB-C female coupler is needed when inputing USB-C power from a power source that does not have a detachable USB-C cable, such as Lenovo laptop power adapters. Beware of the USB-C couplers that do not carry data, those cannot do any of the fast charging negotiations, so stick with the quality ones.

Thanks for the video. Without connecting a load, can this tester poll a charger/powerbank to determine what charging protocols/voltages it is capable of outputting...? And secondly, can it poll a device and determine what input charging protocols/voltages it is capable of receiving?
@YourMobileTech2 ай бұрын
I do not believe you can poll a tester without a load. Reason being, the tester can identify most charging protocols but it is the device that "requests" the protocol. The best place to find the information you seek is to go to the manufacturer's website and look at the specs. I believe this is the case for both scenarios you mentioned.

If you adjust the time and then press the lock button, the time will revert back to what it was before you tried to change it. I good this helps.

@YourMobileTech4 ай бұрын
Hi. You cannot run power through your phone so you would need to charge to 100% then plug in the usb tester, and then place a load on the tester. Take note of the charging voltage. When the phone turns off, plug the tester into a power source and read mAh and multiply the mAh by the appropriate multiplier. As an option, you can set the multiplier in the settings and the tester will calculate it for you. Hope this answers your question.

Hi Kay. I m a first time viewer of your channel. Thanks for the video. Although I’m an electrician, I’m not 100% familiar with usb protocols. Curious about one thing. In I think the second test you did, where you used the newer Apple 20 watt block and plugged in the load set at 3 amps. You mentioned that the reason the tester showed only 15watts as opposed to the 20 watt that the block is rated at, is that the load was “primitive” or something to that effect. I could be wrong but I was thinking that the reason would be that the tester is showing 15watts because that is indeed the wattage, and this would be because the load , with the setting at 3 amps, is designed to limit it at that, and since the applied voltage is 5volts, the wattage will be 15watts. Am I missing something? My apologies for the long comment.
@YourMobileTech4 ай бұрын
Thank you for the comment regardless of how long it is. It's appreciated. The power adapter can provide 20 watts of charging, however the charger is limited in two ways. 1, the load discharge device does not have any fast charge protocols such as VOCC or PD installed on it, which, by today's standard, is primitive in design. 2, a USB A cable is limiting as well due to the amount of pins it has. USB A has one power and one ground pin, whereas USB C has four power and four ground pins which provide more amperage and thus more power. I hope this answers your question. If not, feel free to leave another comment.

Couple days later, playing around, I put the micro-USB adapter in the reader, and used USB-A input and USB-A output, and it came back to life! ?? Returned to original config, which was between 140W Apple MBP M1 Pro power supply (into USB-C IN), with USB-C OUT to the computer. Then that worked again, too. So far, no documented explanation.
@YourMobileTech3 ай бұрын
@@0202fabrice Hi. Thanks for commenting. From what I understand, the input and output connections on the tester are unidirectional. That would explain why applying power to the output side may have caused the tester to glitch and malfunction. Placing the USB A input and output correctly seemingly reset the device. Which is good news because, otherwise, you were correct in assuming it might be bricked. Let me go grab the manual and see if we missed anything... ...Ok, so according to the instruction manual it states "You can use the input as the output and change the current direction, but the voltage and current would be wrong. (Only supports charging your device)" So you can charge your device bidirectional but the test readings will be inaccurate. After what you described to me, this should say, "Switching the direction of the current flow is not recommended." At least, that's what I think.

The USB C coupler can be used with USB C chargers that have a fixed mounted cable. Such chargers have a cable with a USB C male plug to connect directly to a device. If you should connect such a charger to the USB tester then you need the USB C coupler to connect it to the "Type C input" on the USB tester. USB C is a nice invention. But it is a mess with all those USB C cables, chargers etc. that do not work as they should. So, I will probably order the USB tester. Nice video! 👍
