Don't use that 3 in 1 Anker cable if you want any of your USB C tech to charge at full speed. It doesn't support the USB PD standard so all you'll get is maybe 10W. Most phones will charge at at least 18W. And most laptops want at least 30. Better option is to go all USB C cables and adapt to older plugs as necessary. The only adapters I use regularly anymore are USB A to USB C and a USB C to garmin adapter for my watch. It's pretty easy to replace everything micro USB now and apple finally got themselves together with the latest iPhone, so lightning can be cut as well.
Yeah, they act like 1 extra cord will cause your spine to violently shatter and if space is that tight there's plenty of short lengths available for way less cost
@@ShugoAWay TBH, it's not even a cost issue for me. I love 20 dollar Anker C to C cables. It's just that you can only get so much out of an A to C cable, much less an A to micro USB. Better to built a kit off a base of purely USB C cables and adapt as needed from there. I do have a cable in my kit that's a USB A to 4-way-split USB C for charging a bunch of tiny stuff at once though. Stuff that won't pull a lot of watts. That cable is super handy.
@commentsonthetube69 Yeah, but with most things, it is almost always better to have separate cords, so if you lose/damage 1, you don't lose access to multiple items so you don't have to juggle the use of 1 cord and 30 dongles/adapters
@@ShugoAWay Redundancy is the key. Two high power USB-C cords, two converter dongles, you're good to go. It's easier to find cheap USB-C cords for phone charging compared to good laptop ones when you're on the road.
InCharge X boasts fast charging capabilities, but it falls short in design quality given its price. Here are some notable issues: 1) the metal hinges of the converter come snap off very easily. 2) the USB A converter comes off easily from the hinge case when you take off the cap. 3) the rubber protection cap get loss, so easy without attachment when the cable is used for charging. 4) if you bought it from 3rd party they don’t respect the basic one year warranty. 😢 good luck 🤞🏼
The combo powerbank and GaN charger sounds cool on paper but the heat from the charger side could kill the battery pack quickly. Typical powerbanks only get hot when you're feeding power into them but this thing gets hot any time the charger is used, even if it uses GaN components.
@@victorlee6056looking at reviews, if the grounding (top) pin is plastic, you can plug it into the bagel and use it fine. I'm not as sure if the pin is metal though, sorry.
