    Should the C to micro cables always work for charging?

    Think I bought a bunk one… I never cheap out on cables anymore, of course the one time in YEARS that I do…

      Usb C has a default of 5V, 2A. This matches/exceeds the micro USB standards. In order to get a higher voltage, it negotiates up. (Or it’s supposed to! China can produce some NASTY exceptions!)

      Yeah, I think so…

      I do have some micro usb devices that won’t work with some newer Power Delivery Adapters, but it’s the brick part, not the USB C cable since the same cable / adapter will work with a different brick.
