USB C Cables.

Re: Longer charging cord

I would think the longer u go the less it charges fast since the power has to travel farther unless they increased the size of the wire whoa i over thought that lol

You didn't really over think it. One of the reasons I liked Volutz is because their micro-USB cables had some of the thickest power wires available. Even on a 10ft cable, I didn't notice any drop in current compared to the typical 3ft.

Sorry did not know that. Here you go . You can choose the cable length here and still save $10. Look at this on eBay https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-...180&mpre=http://www.ebay.com/itm/272277636860

Whatever you choose make sure it's USB C compliant. Use Google to search USB C compliance Google engineer. Several articles about some cables sold on Amazon arent compliant and can cause some serious damage . Search Android Central for an article titled "This USB-C problem isn't going away anytime soon"

I like the price. I read that a lot of cheaper cables fail after a while and also don't work well with fast charge. That's why I was thinking of going to a better grade cable although I was always your philosophy....eBay...good stuff cheap.

Wow...thank you for the info!

 

[Joeykool]

Someone just posted this in the thread I started about a longer cable...

 

[420lyfe]

No. I have always used the generic chargers for every smartphone I own and have yet to face one problem. I feel that it all has to do with money making and being told that this is what you need and nothing else. It's a way of I guess scaring people into spending more. I have never fell for that and have never had an issue in my 8 years of smartphone experience. I am currently using a generic charger 6ft long with my s7. No issues. I have been using it for over a month now Cuz this phone is still new. My tablet s2pro has been running on this charger for months now.. I advise that you don't spend your hard earned money, buy the cheaper stuff and it will really do the same job as long as it's from the U.S. not the ones coming from china.

I felt that way about audio cables too. Ex.- I can't believe that gold ends would make noticable difference in sound...but what do I know? Lol

Do Anker cables follow this? I bought one and so far my seems OK with it.

 

[Almeuit]

I bought an Anker cable.

This is what I usually do. Just go to Amazon and buy a trusted brand. While nothing is 100% I would rather that than some random company that I didn't know.

 

[Mooncatt]

This list is generally recognized as a good source to check, but not sure how updated it is. It has some Anker's listed, but not the new Volutz ones I'm looking at (but they claim USB-IF certification on their own site).

I bought this one for my G5 and now use it for my V20. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU5542014

Benson Leung recommended it, who I guess is the guru of cables. I went with the 6 foot length.

Does this "Quick Charge" the LG V20? There are nice amount of cables which is approved by him but doesn't Quick Charge the V20

Any cable is capable of quick charging. It's up to the design of the phone and charger mostly as long as it conforms to the USB C standards.
