The external power source was presumably a wall outlet, since he was testing its ability to charge.

- gravypod 11y agoWell that is an entirely different story. I thought that the cable was plugged into a phone and his chromebook (Just like parent). I was concerned that this might be a flaw in the chrome book, not the cable. The USB bus should be fine to use such a cable, charging is another thing. When you add the external power source, that completely changes the game.

A Chromebook designed and sold by Google directly. He has been using it and various test instruments to check up on A-to-C adapter cables, as they need to have a specific resistor in them to indicate their nature.
