Anyone who owns a nexus 6p and has tried to buy a longer usb a-c cable than the 6 inch cable that Google provide will know just how hard it is to find a good quality cable that meets the new usb-c standard and won't potentially fry there charging device by trying to pull 3 amps.
Google prevent the usb a-c cables from damaging charging devices by placing a 56 kohm resister in the usb c end of the cable and many cheap cables have failed to do this or they use the wrong value of resistor, there is a simple free app that allows nexus 6p owners to check cables to ensure they are safe to use. I am happy to report that these cables pass the safety checks and are safe to use with nexus 6p devices.
These particular cables are very well presented in a functional box, the larger of the two cables comes with a Velcro strap to help keep it from tangling very handy if your traveling or don't keep your cables constantly plugged in, this is a nice little touch from Choetech and adds to the premium feel of these cables.
Both cables feel like they're thick enough to withstand alot of heavy use and will hopefully last a long time, I tested both cables with my laptop and was getting good data transfer speeds and I have tested both with numerous different chargers and also get good charging speeds, very comparable to that of the Google provided cable.
I am very happy with these cables and hope to get alot of use out of them, I would quite happily recommended these to anyone after a usb a-c cable, I have seen many cables that are dearer than this for just one cable, here you get two really good quality cables for a value price. I got these cables at a discounted price for a honest unbiased review but I would quite happily pay full price for these.

Have you by chance checked any other cables from usb-a to c that you have came across that you would recommend ? If you just use the app provided that means it is safe ?
Yes I also own a belkin 2m usb a-c cable that is very good but no better than the Choetech cables, the belkin cost me £15 though for just one cable as it was an emergency buy from maplins. I bought a cheap eBay cable originally, it worked with my old car charger but then my phone refused to charge from the Google usb c charger that night. A reboot fixed this issue but some research led me to discover the issue with usb a-c cables.
Because of the price and quality I highly recommend the Choetech cables.
Yes the checkr app let's you know if the cable is safe to use. You have to make sure it is connected to a computer / laptop for the app to work though, it won't work with a charging device.
I also get this cable bundle to review at price £0.99. It seems still available for review now. You can also apply one at a good price from Choetech official website: http://www.choetech.com/Support-review.html
I went for the 3.3ft USB-C to USB-A + 3.3ft USB-C to USB-C pack to go work with my Nexus 6P. Cables are a great length and I can leave it charging in the car while my passenger is using the phone at the same time. I am very happy with mine.

Yeah I also went for this combo pack. The cables are great and help me out around the house and in my car. The type C is in my car permanently from now on. Works great with their in car charger and charges the phone up in no time. The other one is in my work bag for emergencies. Definitely top quality products quality and worth getting.
I'm looking to find which quick Charging adapters you guys have found to work the best. Obviously Google is everyone's friend but seems that there are so many out there on Amazon that I don't know which one to go with. Also looking for recommendation on good cables. I have heard that there are some that don't work with the note 7

Tronsmart 18W Quick Charge 3.0 USB Wall Charger for Galaxy S7, S7 Edge, HTC 10, LG G5 - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015ZJKWFS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_MCqVxb4S6MR1H
I bought this brand, but not from Amazon. I live in Singapore, so I got the one with a UK plug.
As far as charging is concerned, it is able to do "Fast Charge" (do note, there is a difference between Qualcomm's Quick Charge and Samsung's Fast Charge)
As for cables, look out for reviews in Amazon by a Google Engineer named Benson Leung. Ever since he bought a cable to charge his Nexus with his Chromebook, and the latter blew up, he has been on a personal crusade to purchase every USB-C cable available to test for a particular flaw and getting their respective companies to rectify the problem.
My electrical physics is not up to speed, but I'm pretty sure this is a concern with USB-A to USB-C cable. C to C is not a problem. Someone may correct me here.
I grabbed an Aukey QC 2.0 wall plug & micro usb $12 on Amazon. It works great. I grabbed a few usb c adapters too.
This is great for additional charger than the stock one.
Also grabbed an Aukey 10,000 mAh battery pack ($18) for on the go. Has qc 2.0 and even recharge the unit with qc 2.0
Just sharing what worked for me. The price was right too.

PLEASE do let me know how many times does the PowerCore 10000 charge the Note 7 from 0 to 100%
Thanks
It should be very close to 2 times. I believe with the loss during charging you can expect about 7000mah in actual performance. I have not charged it without using the device during charging except once and it appeared to use half (2 lights left] It will charge even when using the phone although obviously at a slower rate. So you should have no problem charging it twice or just a hair under two full times based on my experience so far if not using the device during charging. When recharging the power pack itself, plan on leaving the power pack charging all night

I also grabbed the Aukey QC 2.0 wall charger and an Aukey type A to type C cable, braided. Aukey has the thickest braided cables I've seen. I have 3 of their braided type C cables, one being 6'. They're awesome. They also meet the Type C specs and are compliant.

I went with the black Samsung stand up charger since it was on sale in the store. Works perfect.
Benson's review of the braided Aukey wasnt great. I ordered a 5 pack of Choetech ones that did well on review. I had no idea about Benson's reviews when ordered. Glad they Check out though. Was originally going to buy the 5 pack of Aukey braided cables.

I bought the Samsung Wireless fast charge stand. The phone looks great charging, it charges fast, and you have another oem charging plug. Best Buy matched Amazon for the price of 43.00. You will not be dissatisfied with this charger. It has the old style USB plug so I can use it to charge my headphones, and I can use it to fast charge my Nexus.

Nice, good deal. May still get them. Love the black braided cables. Should prove to be very durable. I find that Anker, Tronsmart, Choetech and Aukey all have great quality stuff that appears to be from the same OEM. I trust them with my electronic power needs.

I would wait to see if Benson reviews it, awful lot of stuff out there that operates out of spec.
I agree. Unless you absolutely need one right now, I'd wait until they review more stuff or just pony up $40 for the Belkin... WAY too much variation in how these manufacturers are producing USB-C chargers.

The quoted charger is actually over 18W, so it will charge the Pixel at full speed. I'd like to buy one because it's the only option, but... my 15W standard type C charger will hold me over for now.

It is half the price but it doesn't include a USB c cable. The Belkin does. Just something to keep in mind.

I bought this charger and it's working great. Using the USB a-c cable that was bundled with the Pixel.
My last car charger was a very similar, low profile Aukey one with QC 2.0 and I never had any issues with it either.
This is the one I use. Fast charges both my Nexus 6p and Pixel XL. I think it was mentioned by Benson to be good also.

Tronsmart always has a rebadge version of what Aukey has or vice versa, anyone try this one?

Uh... the Power Delivery charging is ONLY through the USB Type C port... charging via USB A does absolutely nothing for you.

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)?
Thanks everyone for your input

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

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.

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.

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 bought two of the AUKEY ones and have been using them without issue and they charge fast. Using a choetech USB c to c cable on one of them and an Anker c to c on the other.

So I didn't realize that this cable was USB C to USB C, I am coming from the HTC 10 which is USB-C Male to USB-A Male. I need a 6 foot cable, I am looking for recommendations since I have heard that some these USB C cables can be flaky.
Based on some articles I’ve read at arstechnica, they look to recommend this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AS8U8PU/?tag=arstech20-20

I hope linking to these sites is okay (amazon/ars). I apologize in advance if it isn’t.

Personally I love the i-orange braided and it is 6.6 and 10 feet. It was even recommended by that Google engineer dude.... They now seem to be called veckle
Check this one out!
I usually use their brand or Anker

My personal favorite Type-C cable is Blitzwolf. It's Benson Approved, durable, beautiful, and very good quality. I have 2 8ft Blitzwolf cables and have used only one for the past 3 months. I keep is in my pocket, I'm not super rough with stuff but it's pretty durable for the few times I stepped on it and i usualy carry it coiled in my pocket on my knee or in my backpack. I honestly couldn't ask for a better cable.
I'll admit, 8ft i ridiculously long and probably unnecessary for regular use. But it's amazing.
Blitzwolf!

I'm using it on my G6, but I'll be upgrading to a v30 soon.

My USB cable is A to C.
I can vouch for the quality of Anker cables and chargers, I've been rocking them since the v20 released. Zero issues, I am usually rough with my stuff and Anker holds up.
I use Anker products. Always good.
Another vote for Anker PowerLine cables...
My Verizon V30 came with an A to C cable as well as a C to C cable.
My TMobile variant came with only the usb a to c. Kind of odd that different variants came with different cables. I also have been using Anker power line braided cable ??

A friend of mine has an AT&T V30. She only received the charger and C to C cable. I didn't believe her because I thought it was strange. Then she showed me. Sure enough.
Even weirder is that some variants come with both an a-c and c-c.
This one works and it is prettier than all my other cables too !

Yeah, I'm surprised that Verizon would do ANYTHING EXTRA for their subscribers. But I'll take it.
True is only sprint giving also the headphones?

I believe so. Aren't they also the only carrier offering the V30+? If so, I believe they're related...
Firstly , .... Anker cables are solid , its all I use
Also , 1 meter or shorter if you are looking for the data speeds to be the fastest.
Just got the V30 for my girl (from AT&T) and was surprised at how little came with it. Just the charger and c-c cord. I am a Samsung guy and hell there is always a boat load of goodies in the box. Just was interesting to see how LG does things.
I bought a $5 6ft c to a cable from Five Below and have had no issues.

Anker powerline+ cables! I have the 6ft cable and it Fastcharges perfectly. Also comes with lifetime warranty so save the box/serialnr sticker.
Its 12 dollars for a 2pack so the price is good.
Gray or red.

Edit: I just realised this thread is 2 months old lol.... anyways great cables!
Blitzwolf cables are amazing and very worth the cost. I've been very rough on mine for testing for a little more than 6months and it's still amazing.
I bought it because it looked like good quality and was on the Benson Approved list, seems the list (website) is gone now. But i bought 2 of the 8ft cables and only use one to see how long it lasts under regular use with moderate abuse.
Blitzwolf cables are available on Amazon.
