All cables are not created equal : some will charge most expeditiously , others might just electrocute your battery . Google Chromebook engineer and Caped Cable CrusaderBenson Leunghas been testing USB - degree Celsius cables off Amazon , and it ’s not just the no - make product that have been failing .

Leung ’s campaign mostly consists of ordering USB - speed of light cables off Amazon , testing them to see if they meet the minimal banner or if they ’re just knock - offs , and thenleaving Amazon reviews . cable and charger fail in all sorts of different direction , although incorrect resistors seem to be a common problem that Leung ’s been get hold .

Although the bulk of problematical adapters are come from no - blade acccessory resellers , there ’s one particularly interesting failure : Leung has called out the OnePlus USB - C cable television and adapter . They ’ll act upon just all right if you only ever expend them with OnePlus machine , but if you ever get crazy and try out and use thatUSB - deoxycytidine monophosphate cableto charge another USB - C machine — say , a Nexus 6P — you might damage your shining gizmo .
