The downside to that is you lose a lot of the newer fast charge features. USB-C power delivery specifically requires communication between the charger and the device to determine what voltage the charger will provide.
- toomuchtodo 7y agoThere are "USB Condoms" (I'm fond of the PortaPow, no association just a happy user, I give them away like candy to anyone who will take one) where one end negotiates with the USB source and the other end is for your device; you still can get max power but there is no data connection. https://portablepowersupplies.co.uk/home/portapow-data-blocker-usb-adaptor https://portablepowersupplies.co.uk/home/portapow-data-block...
- rtkwe 7y agoThat's just USB-A which only does one voltage at different current limits. USB-C has a whole negotiation back and forth about available (charger) and desired (device) voltages. You could possibly have a device pass just those messages back and forth I guess but that's definitely not the device you linked.
- toomuchtodo 7y agoSorry, I don't have any USB-C devices, and the OP at top of thread only said USB (not USB-C).
- SAI_Peregrinus 7y agoThere are some more advanced USB-C PD proxy condoms that have their own charge controller & proxy the PD negotiation. But a lot easier & cheaper to just bring an AC charger around most places, even with an international plug adapter set.
- rtkwe 7y agoHadn't heard of those do you have a link?
