Nexus 6P just announce yesterday, google said it support fast charge, 5V @3a, TOTAL 15W, but never mentioned if it support qualcomm quick charge 2.0 . Since the Nexus 6P use snapdragon 810, it suppose to support quick charge 2.0?
But anyway, since the nexus 6P use the type c port, the regular car charger won't work it, at least you need to prepare another type c cable or adapter. but today i will recommend a tronsmart type c car charger:
<MODERATOR EDITED - LINK REMOVED>
With this car charger, you just need to plug and charge your nexus 6p directly, and it also offer another port which support quick charge 2.0. So if your family have the old nexus 6 or samsung s6 etc, they also can get quick charge.
Let me know your thought about this little cool car charger?
Couldn't you just use an old quick charge for the car, and just replace the cable with USB c one?

Yes you can, why wouldn't you be able to? The charger uses a USB 3.0 port from what I've heard but it doesn't matter even if had a SUB 3.1 Type-C port instead on the plug. The phone will determine how much power it can pull from the charger and its backwards compatible with QC 1.0 plus its no different than QC 2.0 from what I've seen it just uses slightly higher rates but the overall output is the same. The output is actually about the same as the Nexus 6's charger which is 14.4W because this one is 15W.
I was thinking of this one and getting a usb-c cable.

Have you got the UK link? Would be interested in buying one.
Just to clarify, the Nexus 6P has a USB 2.0 socket, not 3 or 3.1, but utilises the USB-C 3A charger for fast charging.
USB-C ≠ USB 3.1. One is the plug type, one is the speed of data transfer. :good:
Here you are!

Thanks for that, although it does only say 2A instead of 3A. Might wait til some more come out
Ah, yes. The one I have at the moment is only 1.1A on each port so if using satnav it drains the battery. Wasn't able to find that one in 3A.

From what I've read this won't do fast-charge on a Nexus 6p, since the Nexus 6p does not support Quick Charge 2.0, but instead USB-C 3.1.

As far as I can tell, the nexus 6p won't support Qualcomm QC2, which is what this uses. I could only find one 3A USB-C charger on Amazon, and I have no idea whether it would work. I'd look for things designed for Chromebook pixels and macbooks and not something that advertises Android compatibility, since most Android phones don't use USB-C.

Yea, was reading the same thing earlier.. and its very disappointing that they decided not to use QC 2.0. I really havent been able to find anything that supports the 5v/3a spec for a car charger, and google doesnt list one in their store either. Hopefully new products will start showing up soon.

It still chargers just as fast according to Google so I hope that proves to be true when people get it. 1-100% in 91 minutes for a 3450mah battery is pretty good by any standard.
So, we shouldn't be looking for quick charge Chargers but USB C certified chargers at the 3 amp rating?

Why? It is unclear if the original poster desired a captive Type C, Type C to Type C, or Type A to Type C charger. All 3 would work.
The problem with this charger is that 18W is for Quick Charge which is 9V/2A or 12V/1.5A. This charger most likely won't ever output more than 2.4A at 5V. Not that that is hateful, just not 3A.

Do you specifically want a charger with a Type C port in it? Or would a 5V/3A Type A to Type C or Captive Type C charger be OK?
I think you are going to find that we are really early in the Type C adoption and there just aren't many small/handheld devices using Type C yet, so there aren't many accessories. The other is issue is 5V/3A is unlikely to be exceptionally prevalent even when Type C ramps up, but I could be wrong. I just think most vendors will use some form of voltage hopping quick charging technology, especially since QC 3.0 is built into the Qualcom SOCs where the Snapdragon 810 and below that use QC 2.0 require an additional chip. Not sure what the Lumia 950XL or Sony X5 (?) is using.

BZZZT. Try again, neither of those chargers are the right setup. The first one will only do 2.1A not 3A. The second does not have a Type C port it has a Type A and comes with a Type A>C cable which means you'll get about 1.5A maximum from it on a 5X or 6P.
To get 3 amp charging you need two things. A. The charger port MUST be a Type-C port. B. The charger must be rated for [email protected]
Google is best answer... for now.
None of the currently available chargers on the market can provide the 3W and intelligence needed to quick charge usb type c I've found so far. My solution, though not the cheapest, was to order the two port 22.5W google usb type c charger. It came quickly and it works great I can confirm. If you read the spec on type c charging it not only can do 3A @ 5V but also other amounts at different voltages I think... even 12V in some cases. I'm not sure if the 6P will use all of the options but USB type C is whole new animal when it comes to charging fast.

Agreed, that's the one I bought and received a few weeks ago.
Thanks for the feedback guys! I'm looking for Type-C to Type-C at 3amp/5v, which I believe is the fastest?
I have heard Anker will be releasing their Type-C range within the next week on Amazon, so hopefully soon we should have some more accessories soon!
At the moment I have resorted to using my RAVPower portable charger with Type-C connection for when I don't have my mains charger on me. Although this is quite a nuisance...
Yeah, I haven't seen any other 5V 3A Type C ones, but honestly I haven't looked much. I picked up the dual 22W one from google for work, figured it came with a cable long enough for my use at my desk I'd just go that route for now. Hopefully we do start getting more soon, as I need a folding one for travel. My current one is Type A, and I have a few A to C cables at the house so at least I have something I can charge with.

My experience with the N6p on the stock charger is that while it will briefly bounce up to 2.8, it doesn't ramp up smoothly. It pretty much does a roller coaster like you described almost the whole time probably averaging around 1 to 1.5 amps. I also tried with my anker 2.4 amp and it didn't seem to be that much less. Very disappointing actually.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3237848
I used a 5V/3A charger with captive microusb (for raspberrypi). With a micro to c adapter, it charged my 6P at ~2.7A (less than 40% battery). The charger and adapter were less than $15 total.
I've also used a multi-port charger with a quality A-C cable and get ~2.4A charging.
I've got the Cheeotech one somewhere. I was one of the few they picked last year to test it out with the N6. That Amazon page is just their QC2.0 charger with a USB C to A cable. I will try to find mine and see how it charges.

The battery and temperature control is the limitation of the charging speed, google could use a 5v 2a charger to get this job done, 5v 3a is actually not quicker for Nexus 5p, google is making jokes with us.

The Pixel does not support Quick Charge. Don't know what you will get from USB-A to USB-C.
Good setup is 5V/3A = 15W from a good USB-C charger and cable.
Best setup is 9V/2A = 18W from a good USB-C PD charger and cable

All I'm saying is these chargers are 24w / 3A , and when I plug in my pixel it tells me rapidly charging. I can get a full charge in the same amount of time as my charger I received with my pixel phone, or the Belkin USB type c charger I have , just trying to save you guys some money. As for reliability I had a 6p when they first came out and the battery and phone are still good in that an I have always used that charger. Hope this helps!

Although the Snapdragon 821 is capable of Quick Charge 3.0 for the Pixel, it looks like Google has elected to use the USB-C Power Delivery standard. I just looked up a bunch of very confusing technical stuff, but the big advantage of PD is use of the data connection within USB-C while charging. ( like from a computer ). I don't think there is very much difference in the rate of charging with PD vs Quick Charge. Rest assured, the Pixels will charge VERY quickly.
I'm on my way to work but this should sum it up, all sd821 are quick charge 3.0 capable, like I said this charger is 24w/3a an you won't be using the USB PD features while charging in your car anyway.

That's a standard 5v 2.4A charger according to it's specs, at max you'll get 12w decent charge albeit not "max" but who cares, since the Pixel doesn't support qc. Using it with the stock pixel a to c cable should be safe, I wouldn't use an untested cable tho and risk frying the Pixel.
The blitzwolf usb-c +a car charger, non qc, is only $5 delivered on Banggoods on sale, comes usb-c cabled and has usb a slot. I use it and get a good safe charge from it.
The visnic has been tested to work well, only $10 but you need a cable too.
Hey all, just acquired my new Pixel XL. It's my first USB-c device so need to get some new cables... I was looking at USB-c car chargers on Amazon but not seeing any rave reviews on much. Do you all have any recommendations? Is there a certain standard of charger that is best for the Pixel (I.e. quick charge 2.0 or 3.0 etc)?

Shout out to @Nathan-K and Benson. I've spent hours reading their G+ pages and Amazon reviews and I'm blown away by the work they're doing trying to hold manufacturers accountable and keep consumers safe.
Tl;dr - most are junk currently, and some are even dangerous. 1 specific Verizon version for usb-c pd (TYPECPDVPC ONLY!) is the most acceptable one.
Sent from my Pixel XL
Check out this spreadsheet it has chargers on it and one is type car. There are no perfect PD chargers at the moment (18W) AUKEYCC-Y7 and Verizon 27w TYPECPDVPC are the least bad. It is probably best to take the 3W hit at the moment and go for a 15W non PD car charger like the Belkin 15w F7U005bt04-BLK or Nomad B015NN0OKO. Personally I have gone for the AUKEYCC-Y7 PD charger as although not perfect it is at least cheap.
Bear in mind that some chargers come with a fixed USB-C charging cable. Ones that are cable less will need a decent cable as well. Decent ones cost as much as the chargers. So given the current price I recommend going for the Belkin 15W charger with built in cable

I would stick with your existing USB - A charger and get a A to C cable.
None of the USB-C chargers are anywhere near good.

So there's no issue using an old micro USB charging cable? I planned on using my old ones and I purchased a 2 pack of USB-C to Micro USB adapters from Amazon. Can't seem to get clarification about the micro USB chargers..
I have no clue with micro > C adapters. The OEM A>C cable works great and make sure any 3rd party A > C cables should have the required 56kΩ resistor.
I am using a few of these from Anker on an old .5a Moto charger, older Anker car charger and an extra thrown in my work bag.

Of course there is an issue, you need to use either use a micro to c adapter with a 56k ohm pull-up resistor in it or a an approved a to c cable that also has a 56k ohm pull-up resistor.
EDIT: make sure you bookmark that google spreadsheet and check it for up to date~ info.

That visnic is no longer even on the spreadsheet
I got the v3 CCTA from tronsmart and returned it, the pixel sees it as a device when you unplug and plug it into 12v with car turned off/not powering socket..
The 27w Belkin is now considered bad after further testing has shown it to allow the pixel to backfeed power.
Oh, all Belkins are now in the bad -2 recommendation..

A Micro to usb type c adapter didnt come with the phone. You can use the USB A to C cable that came with the phone with legacy chargers.
Has anyone plugged their pixel into an "old" charger and actually had an issue? I see lots of people going crazy about chargers and also see lots of people that use any old charger they have with a cheap adapter and they have no issue.

I use my old charger with the oem a to c cable and my old a to micro cable with a micro to c adapter that has the 56k ohm resistor just fine, it's just slower than max, but no big deal. hardly ever have to use it, but have it just in case.
I have been using an old Anker pre QC charger and it has been working fine.
I haven't tried the QC3 charger in my wife's car yet.
For now the A>C cables with the 56 ohm resistor is the safe way to go.

Plus one. Have this and love it.
I use this one I bought off Amazon. Been using it for a while. Never had any problems with it. Rapidly charges my pixel and you can charge 2 items at the same time. Check it out for yourself.
Belkin
The Belkin 15 watt used to be recommended as it was the charger for the 6p. I have used it with the 6p and now the Pixel. Not sure why it went from 2 to -1. Obviously it does not do PD with the Pixel, but I cannot see it doing harm. Same is true for the Google 6p wall charger. I sue that with the Pixel also. Any thoughts?

I would guess the change is for charging as noted. There are some further comments about a lack of IR drop compensation circuitry in the Google+ information below. I view the list as simply somewhat subjective opinions from an engineer, and like you said, I couldn't find comments in Google+ to suggest the Belkin you're talking about might pose a threat to a phone. My previous Razr M would tend to lose power when charging and using navigation, so I may just keep the Belkin PD model and see what happens with a replacement, in spite of the current -2 in the list.

I bought the Aukey USB Wall Charger with Dual Quick Charge 3.0 Ports for Smart phones and compared it side by side at different battery levels against the original charger using the Satechi USB-C Power Meter. In every case the volts/amps matched. It has two ports and is sometimes on sale for $11. The Amazon description seems to suggest that it is limited to 2.4 Amps, but the unit itself it says that it goes up to 3A.

It requires a type A to type C cable, just like the one that came with my original adapter. I normally look for what cables Benson Leung or Nathan K recommend, although since this is QC 3 and not USB-C charging protocol it may not matter so much. In any case, I've been using one of the cables from an Aukey 5 pack which can be Googled on Amazon using B01B634WNK . They don't appear to have a problem with the wattage, but they are somewhat stiff (since they are braided) so you may prefer some other kind.
---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 AM ----------
I should mention that I would expect *any* certified QC 3.0 charger with sufficient output range to perform in a similar manner, since it's probably just working with the QC 3 built into the Snapdragon 821, not something particular about the Le Pro 3. But this is the unit that I happened to test.
I can vouch for the Aukey 5 pack USB-C as well. Very sturdy.
If you want the original, LeMall sells leeco branded cables under accessory. Not sure whether it's any better than aukey though

I don't see anything anywhere in either products' listings that would suggest that those are actually QC4 chargers, however, as Qualcomm's specifications indicate, QC4 does support USB Power Delivery, which is what everyone should be using anyway.
I've been charging my U12+ on PD for the last week and it tops up blazing fast.
Greetings,
guess I found one that's quite expensive though. But it should work:

I do think they're being untruthful. I don't see any indicator other than "QC4.0" that indicates that it's Qualcomm certified, nor did I see the phrase, "Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.0" in the listing. I don't trust it.
I only use OEM and Anker chargers & cables, for what it's worth.

Yes you are probably right. I would wait for a Qualcomm certified charger anyway. Just saw someone post about the first one linked and they seemed to know it was 4.0. No reviews or comments anyhow, I would never purchase something with no reviews lol.
As for Anker, I've had issues with their cables and HTC phones. They seem to work for a little while then they stop. They also wear out quickly to where the micro usb connection becomes loose and falls out easily. Seems it's hard to find a good cable.
I need replacement micro USB cables for my M8 and M9 and can't even order one from HTC. The "HTC OEM cables on Amazon are fakes. They look exactly the same except they do not have the HTC tag.

Yeah I think their charging blocks are good I just know their charging cables are bad for HTC phones. The old micro USB cables, they wear out quick and stop working. The USB type c should be much better I haven't tried one yet.

The clips on the micro USB wore out quickly and would not snap in like they are supposed to so they fall out. I still use micro USB for non-phone devices. But they guaranteed the cables would work with HTC devices since HTC devices are very finnicky with charging cables, if it's not HTC oem, most of the time they do not work right. My first pack I ordered from them, a pack with different sizes wouldn't work, they said that was the older style so they were great and offered me a upgraded version for free, like six different cables and they were the ones that worked but didn't last long. Anyway, the USB-C should be much better since they attach much differently.
It is hard finding a good micro USB cable.

I am not a fan of using adapters but thanks for sharing the parts you are using. I emailed Anker support and requested that they recommend the best cables to use with the Hama QC 4.0 chargers and will post an update once I hear back from them.
