Any USB C SD adapters with charging capability?

[MarkA67]

I'm looking for a USB C to SD card adapter like this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Compatible...ag=hawk-future-21&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU7012024 that will also allow me to charge my phone at the same time. Does anyone know if such a device exists? Thanks

Hi, the one you linked no good?

I wouldn't expect a device like that to exist, and I would be suspicious of it if it did exist. I know there are dual USB C adaptors that claim to allow you to charge while also converting to a headphone jack, but those were ill advised due to safety concerns. They never really caught on and it's been a long while since I've seen any mention of them, but I think they caused an overheating risk if charging and listening to headphones at the same time. I can imagine a dual use charging and external SD card reader to be the same.

On the other hand, why would you want that specifically? Those external card readers are typically only plugged in for a transfer, then unplugged again. Transfers don't take a long time (unless your transferring hundreds of GB's?), so the phone's charge level shouldn't be an issue to unplug for that time.
