fast charging USB cables?

Jenni_D

I just suggested them as I knew there were options with angled or flexible connectors.

Your post is a little confusing. Nothing to do with the cable. Charging from the mains will always be quicker than charging in your car.

You'll have to explain to me what part of it is confusing & then I can try explain better. It's my question so it's pretty clear to me but then that's no good - it needs to be clear to you guys.

You say it's "nothing" to do with the cable. What I know about electrics you can write on a tenth of a postage stamp so what I say next isn't me challenging you saying you're wrong, it's just saying what (rightly/wrongly) my mind grasps....

If it was nothing to do with the cable (and therefore only the charger itself since that's the only variable other than the cable) then the mains charger should give out fast charging for both cables while the 12v charger should give out 'slow' charging for both cables.

Where clearly that wasn't the case.

The UGreen one was fast on the mains but slow on the 12v.

The other one was fast on both.

If what I'm looking to achieve is what is confusing to you then it's basically this ...

I want a hardwired charging setup in the car as I don't like wires snaking over the dash. Right now I have to plug in to the 12v socket, trail the cable up over the dash or behind the steering wheel, across in to the bottom right corner of the windscreen. I don't like it.

So my thought is to have a fast charging setup behind the dash so that whenever I want/need to charge the phone, it just goes in its cradle and I simply connect the USB cable (which will come out of the dash somewhere by the drivers door or possibly an air vent & then route upwards).

I could use the cable in the ebay link I gave because that provides fast charging on the 12v charger as I showed - but it'd be better if I could use an angled connector like the UGreen one.

The problem is as I tested out, the UGreen one doesn't provide fast charging via the 12v socket.

So in my mind, although you say otherwise, there has to be something about that UGreen cable that prevents it fast charging.

I'm not tied to any brand. I don't particularly care for brand. I just want an angled charger cable that provides fast charge.

I clearly did not understand this from your previous post
"The UGreen one was fast on the mains but slow on the 12v.

The other one was fast on both."
Very strange

It seems that you and I are not going to be able to discuss at a level where the other understands what's being said because now I've no clue what you're on about.

What's strange about it?

That it happened?

What I'm saying & you think that it's not clear?

I'm basically saying the UGreen cable gave fast charging when connected to the mains charger but when connected to the 12v 'fast charger' in the car it did not give fast charging.

And the other cable from the eBay link gave fast charging when connected to both mains charger and 12v 'fast charger' in the car.

Anyway as has been said in the thread now, it seems that maybe the USB-A was the problem as I've bought a USB-C to USB-C cable from UGreen and that seems to be giving fast charging on the 12v car charger. So I'll just return the other one.

Glad you have found a solution
