This is not for everyone, but we geeky and techie types will love it. This USB charger cable with LED display shows you how much power is being discharged into your device during charging. So, you can monitor the charging process for your device. The display is a soft blue LED that oozes all shades of cool.
Did you know that during charging, a fast charger discharges different amounts of power at different stages of the charging process? Yes, the way fast chargers work is that they discharge the most power to your device during the first 50% to 80% of the charging time, then reduces the power flow to a trickle for the last mile. Fascinating stuff.
That staged, measured approach to charging is designed that way to protect your device from being damaged through an overdose of electrical power. A 100W Type-C to Type-C charger cable with LED display like this one will be a fun and informative gadget to own, so you can geek over the process.
This USB 2.0 charging cable is compatible with iPhone 15 and newer, as well as all Android smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other gadgets with a USB-C port regardless of brand e.g. Samsung, Motorola, OnePlus, HMD, Google Pixel, etc. Of course, you probably already know that being a Power Delivery cable, you need to use it with a compatible Power Deliver charger or adapter to get the fast charging experience.
The cable contains chips that intelligently supports the device and delivers the fastest available current up to 100W (20V/5A), as well as monitor charging performance and automatically adjust current and voltage to prevent damage to the battery in case of unstable current.
Note that this is a charging cable only. You can use it with any charger you may already own. If you are buying a charger to use with it, any Power Delivery charger will do, regardless of rating: 18W, 30W, 33W, 45W, 60W, 65W, 67W, 80W, or 100W. You will be limited to the charger’s maximum power rating, so a 100W PD adapter/charger is recommended if you want to get 100W charging speed.
Do not forget that this is a Type-C to Type-C charger cable, so the charger or adapter you buy for it must be one with a USB-C port.
This particular charging cable with LED display is made by GIANAC. Where to buy it from? You can get the 2m length from Amazon for $6.99 only. The 0.3m and 1m length options cost $5.99 each.
