I mean, I feel like they prefer to keep using A-to-C or A-to-Micro because of power flow instead of packaging C-to-C (and from some quick Amazon searches, C output still looks rare, the majority of what I'm seeing is C input and A output on the power bank itself).
- fragmede 3y agoThose C input ports are usually also output ports.
- lxgr 3y agoAlmost always, as I've noticed only after grabbing a friend's power bank and a C-to-lightning cable for a day trip... I believe an USB-C device port is easier to implement than a host/power supply port, since the host is only allowed to supply Vbus after ensuring that it's connected to a device (by actively probing the resistor connected to the CC pins etc.), whereas a device port only needs to present that resistor. After all, even a passive C-to-micro-B cable can do that.
- Izkata 3y agoSee my other responses in this chain; the only power bank I have that has a USB-C port can't use it for output.
- fragmede 3y agoAnd the ~dozen I've bought off of Amazon (Mostly Anker) can. shrug
