Vinsic 3A USB-C Car Charger

Got this in tonight, thought I'd share some pics. All of the paperwork that came with it is pretty much either how to return stuff you don't like or how to post a review on Amazon lol. The pictures attached show you all the information on the actual charger. I obviously don't have anything that can use the Type C for it yet but I will charge my lg g3 with a regular micro USB tomorrow. If anyone knows of a way for me to do some testing and tells me how I'm more than willing to do it.

I got the StillGut, look like the exact thing. I'll take some picture.

Download Battery Monitor Widget app. That'll show you roughly what the charge rate is.

I see several in the Play Store, which one? I downloaded and tried one out but they said that my wireless charging is -7000 percent.

They might not be calibrated for your G4(?). If it shows some whacky +/- 4000mah, then it's obviously wrong.

I got this too. I would try it with my Pixel, but I'm not sure there is any way to measure the charging current. I also need to wait for my type-c to type-c cables to show up from China...

It's says 3A on the charger by the ports, but does that mean its 3A divided among both usb points or 3A in each point?

As per one of the description on Amazon:
2x 1.5A if both ports are in use
or 1x 3A if single port (which is what RED ZMAN is hopefully able to test for us)

AFAIK you can't deliver 5V @ 3A over a USB-A connector... that is wholly unique to USB Type-C. The best you can do with USB Power Delivery spec is 5V @ 2A. So IF this charger can really deliver 15W power, it will only be via the USB-C port. I plan on testing with my Chromebook Pixel using a USB-A to USB-C and a USB-C to USB-C. I don't think I can measure actual wattage, but I can compare "time to full" calculations using each port.

I messed around with it today along with several different apps to try to measure the actual charge rate but wasn't successful. The LG g3 seems to have issues with most of these apps and the ones that showed readings that looked meaningful we're showing things like 520 mAh. This was with a decent quality cable that I have grown to trust quite a bit.
I have some types C cables coming but without anything to plug it into I really can't do much more measuring. I will say this does not feel like a cheap charger and I'm kind of impressed with how good it looks in the car. It also did seem to be charging my phone very well, and was a consistent 50 to 70 mah higher than the other charger I was using which was the accessory USB A port for a Tylt Qi wireless charger dock/mount.
Hopefully somebody with a USB C device they can measure with is able to get us good readings.

I'm pretty sure you're right about the limits of the USB-A. I think it's limited to 2.1A, so yeah, you'll need to have a type-c to type-c cable with a 5v/3a charger to get this to work. Ah well, the micro-usb run was nice while it lasted.
Question for the OP also, how well does the charger fit in the outlet? I read a few reviews on Amazon that say it's pretty loose in some and doesn't stay seated.

We had no problems at all with it staying in place. I use a lot of retractable cables so you're pulling on them to let them retract and it never moved unless they directly pulled on the charger. Tight fit.

interested in updates. although i'd like to see a charger that doesn't split the amperage between ports. i have a BT receiver and a charging cable in the device that i have now, so if there's one that can provide power to both A and C without splitting, that would be ideal.

who know, it's 3A at 5V, no one will know until we have the 6p

Hmm, you got me there. I got in my Cable Matters USB-C to USB-C cable, to go along with my USB-A to USB-C cable. Sometime soon I will try both with the Vinsic charger and my Chromebook Pixel and see if they both charge at the same speed. I'm still not sure if Chrome OS has a "time to full" charging indicator or anything, though. With the Pixels 60W Type-C charger, the thing charges so dang fast it's almost always fully charged

You can use an app called GSam battery to measure the current, very interested to know if the A port is a proper 3A one

[SPAM] rapid charger that actually works for the Nexus 6p!!

Just like everyone else I've been searching for a good aftermarket charger for my phone. I purchased the Choetech rapid adapter along with the cable (sold separately) and it works beautifully.. The Nexus 6p shows rapid charging on the home screen and Ampere showed the same.
How does that compare to the OEM charger that came with the Nexus 6p? The OEM charger charged at 2920ma, while the Choetech adapter and cable charged at 2840ma. So as you can see it's right on par with the OEM charger.
Build Quality:
The build quality is exactly what you expect to received from Choetech. The body of the charger is similar to the OEM charger with smooth sides and flat top and bottom. There's branding on the the front as you see in the pictures, with specifications information next to the electrical prongs. As for the cable there's more Choetech branding on each end, but it's not intrusive and blends in with the cable. The cable material is thick which is a very good thing, as it should be able to provide adequate power and durability. I'm very happy with this cable and plan to buy another soon. Here's my setup and I did a quick video review as well. Be warned I've read reviews showing that some users received a 2.4v model only... If you watch my videos you will clearly see my charger says 3A/5V and it charges at that speed.
<MODERATOR EDITED - SPAM REFERRAL LINKS DELETED>

The quality on this cable is durable. It does pull 3A, as described, without any issues. charged my phone from 17% to 100% in
1 hour 20 min. It charges just as fast as google's provided cable.
and for the USB type-A to type C cable is also reliable. Checkr app tested and confirmed it is safe for the 2.4A (slower)rapid
charging if the power adapter can support upto 2.4A.
I will recommend this to anyone who wants a spare cable for USB-C just like me. leave one at home, and take this with me
anywhere I go to charge the device.

Is it just me or does that cable appear to struggle to charge as well as OEM? Your comparison graph shows the goggle cable working consistently better and the choetech cable never reaching the current the oem cable does.

Well, if you see the graph more closely my phone had less battery percentage for the Google's cable. I believe hungrier the battery, faster it takes. You will never see full capacity current draw at higher battery percentage.

I just bought this USB-C charger with CC cable.
It's on it's way...can't wait to test it.

You also need to make sure you order the updated version. The first version didn't comply with type c standards.

Might just go with the one on the Google website now, since it's only a few dollars more and it'll probably ship faster. Amazon says it'll arrive after Christmas now.

So you're saying the cable for sure goes up to 2.4A? Your pictures aren't showing up - just wanted to make sure.
I asked about USB-A to C before and someone was very adamant in saying, "The USB standard for an in spec Type A to C cable will charge at 1.5A. "

I don't have quick charger 2.0 brick or equivalent. The most I got is a Samsung brick that goes 2A at the most and I did get near that. When I get a hand on better adapter, I will test it out.

For 3A fast charging speeds, USB C Charger with CC cable is the only way
Well, I'm pretty sure that simply put, A to C reaches only 2.4A at maximum, no matter what wall charger you use. If you want full 3A fast charging speeds, C to C is the only way.
I purchased and tried their USB C wall charger with C to C cable. I wasn't disappointed. They are well built and work fine ... at almost the same fast speed as the OEM Charger.

I'm not a fan of the Google charger because it's hard wired. Wires tends to go bad before the block so its a cheaper fix than buying a whole new charger.

Odd.. do you mean the model you've got has the cable connected to the charger (i.e not removable)? The international edition (H1512) I got in Hong Kong while travelling is detachable and is type C on either end. I didnt' realize there were variations with the included accessories.

Agreed, wires do likely wear faster. But should you expect either to go bad in less than a couple of years if handled reasonably?

Using a physical power meter I've verified that the Nexus 6P will only charge at 1.5A at 5V with standard 2A/2.4A chargers (I've tried 3-4 different USB A chargers). These are far more accurate than ampere as ampere measures net current, current in minus consumed current, not just the incoming current from the charger.
I'm not aware of a physical device that measures power through a type C cable other than the twinkie device that benson mentions and is several hundred dollars.

I think he/she is referring to the extra one you buy from the accessories on the Google 6p site. The one included is a removable USB C-C cord.

If you read the Amazon comments so people where saying they received a different model than the one I've reviewed. As for fast charging with the Choetech after day 3 I still have no issues. It charges my phone from 1% to 100% in around 90 minutes.

Tronsmart 33W Dual USB (USB-A & USB-C) Wall Charger Overview

Quick and dirty test of the Tronsmart 33W Dual USB Wall Charger. Amazon Link
Nice and sturdy. No complaints on the build and aesthetics here. Smaller than I thought it'd be (based off of the images on Amazon) - good thing.
Tested with a 6.6 ft. Cable Matters® USB 2.0 Type-C to Type-C cable.

Looks like we have another 3rd party wall charger option?

This is exactly what I've been waiting for, along with the matching car charger. Thanks for the heads up.

Works really great. Charges as fast as my Huawei Type C charger. Highly recommended!

Complete opposite impression of OP as I do not recommend this charger. Charges my nexus 7 at 300 mA via the A port and charges my 6P via the C port at 2200 mA. USB C cables fall right out of the port with no force required and the components inside the charger wiggle around when you move the charger. Also quite a bit heavier and larger than the stock Huawei charger.
Tronsmart offered to send me a replacement but I have a feeling I will be getting a refund.

It seems like you receievd a defective unit clearly. I've had the charger for a while now, and other than having it break while traveling (my fault) it worked perfectly. The charger still works, but it has a crack in it thanks to rough handling in my bag while traveling (and putting it in a non-padded pocket). The ports at all snug and it does charge up at 2.950A based on what I saw while testing it. I don't think your experience is typical, but it also doesn't make our any better to experience. I hope you get it worked out

Didnt see that one before. Not happy with my Tronsmart at the moment. If the replacement still has the same issues, I will be returning it and probably will give that CHOETECH a shot.
Also my Tronsmart gets quite warm to the touch (not unbearable though), can give you an exact temp once I find my infrared thermometer.

Well the Type A port puts out the rated 5V/3A if your device can charge at that rate. Most phones will only charge at 5V/2A via a type A port, so that's why it chargers them slower.

350A is a HUGE amount of power, I think you mean 350mAh. How did you check the current rate for the N7? If you used Ampere or any app then it's not accurate so you need to use an inline multimeter. . Mine outputs ~5V/2A charging my S7E and it gives my 1.5A over the Type A port using my Nexus 6P. If yours doesn't output the correct current then it's likely defective.

Not necessarily, I've seen them be off as much as 1A before especially on my S7E, so I don't go by those. If it seems like it's defective then I would contact Tronsmart because they could probably give you a better answer.

It does seem like both these chargers are hit and miss. Likely resulting from poor QC. I picked up a tronsmart myself after deciding between the two. It should be arriving today. Unfortunately my 6P is due later in the week.

I've had my Tronsmart for a few weeks now, based on initial impressions from OP. I've had zero issues with it. Matter of fact, I replaced a multiport charger on my nightstand for this one, as all I normally charge now is my N6P and my LG Watch. Coupled with iOrange-E 2m braided cables, I have zero issues with charging the N6P. Now I keep my OEM charger at the office (just in case).

I have this charger for about 2 weeks and I haven' t got any issue yet.

Here's to hoping my replacement is better ?
One of the big android blogs just did a post on tronsmart praising them for their products. Felt sponsored though so I'm weary.

I almost have the whole set. Ony one missing is the car charger. This s a nice set! No issues whatsoever.

No. I just received it today, and the usb-c interface is for charging the battery only. The legacy USB interface is said to support fast charging, but it didn't when I connected it to my Nexus 6P; it charged the phone at normal speeds.
I suspect the advertising around "bi directional usb-c" means simply you can plug the cable in both ways, and "fast charging" means you can charge the *battery* quicker.
In fact, if you connect the battery and a Nexus 6P via a usb-c cable, the phone starts charging the battery!

This is true on many (all?) batteries that allow you to both charge or discharge on the Type-C port. You might have to push the power button for the phone to start charging. What happens if you unplug the Type-C cable, push the power button on the battery, and then plug the Type-C cable back in? Does the phone start drawing power from the battery instead of charging the external battery?
IF the phone starts charging itself from the external battery, can you please let us know how much power is being delivered per the Ampere app? I'd be curious to know this. I couldn't find anything on Xiaomi's web site that gave a definitive output current number.

This is true on many (all?) batteries that allow you to both charge or discharge on the Type-C port. You might have to push the power button for the phone to start charging. What happens if you unplug the Type-C cable, push the power button on the battery, and then plug the Type-C cable back in? Does the phone start drawing power from the battery instead of charging the external battery?

Nope, pressing the button on the battery makes no difference (before or after being plugged in to the phone). The USB-C port is purely for charging the battery, not for using the battery to charge other devices.
I've attached a scan of the booklet that came with the battery. You'll need to read Chinese (I can't) to understand it though. 2 colleagues have told me it explicitly says only the legacy USB port can be used to charge other devices.

That stinks. Thanks a lot for the heads up, I was considering buying one to compare to the Orico battery.

the part that says USB接口(输出) means USB port(output)
the Type C接口(输入) means Type C port(input)

trammel said:
No. I just received it today, and the usb-c interface is for charging the battery only. The legacy USB interface is said to support fast charging, but it didn't when I connected it to my Nexus 6P; it charged the phone at normal speeds.
I suspect the advertising around "bi directional usb-c" means simply you can plug the cable in both ways, and "fast charging" means you can charge the *battery* quicker.
In fact, if you connect the battery and a Nexus 6P via a usb-c cable, the phone starts charging the battery!

Argh... I wish I read this thread before I purchased this. I can confirm that the USB C does not output a charge. Really disappointed as all the reviews I've read led me to believe the USB C port was both an input and output. I've attached a screenshot of what I'm getting per Ampere. Oh, and I know this is in the Nexus 6P thread, but I'm actually using this with my Nexus 5X.

I cant find the Xaiomi on any website

I fell for the same ****. I got mine today for $60 AUD, the only reason i paid that is there is no power banks in Australia that support USB-C. The USB-C port is only for charging the power bank, you can also charge the power bank using your phone. Xiaomi mi 10000mah doesn't rapid charge.

I'd assume so, Chinese only instructions. I'm on a tab at the moment, can't view the pic.

Hi guys, sorry for the UP but I bought the power bank today and I run into your same issues.
I saw a video (in bangladeshian, LOL) that actually from Type C port you can fast-charge the Nexus 6P, and also if the phone is off, it starts to get fast-charged by the battery via USB-C.
So basically, is there a question to disable "Nexus power output"? This way the USB quick charging should work fine.

Damn , maybe because it's usb a to C , so the Ampere really low

This powerbank looks quite nice but it doesn't support USB Type-C Fast Charging. It only supports 2.0A output so it won't charge the Nexus 6P or 5X at full speed . Looks like I'm gonna be looking elsewhere.

The usb-c port is for charging the power bank only. It does not rapid charge.

According to people in this reddit post it quickly charges the Nexus 6P if you use a different cable than the one it ships with. Only from the USB-A port though.
https://www.reddit.com/r/nexus5x/comments/49xj4c/just_got_my_hands_on_the_xiaomi_10000mah_mi_power/

I bought one as well.
It does NOT charge via the USB C port, it is only an input port.
So no quick charging with it unfortunately.

Fake and real lg charger.

Hello i bought a lg charger for my lg v30. The seller said that it is real charger. But after a month, the adaptor stopped working IDK what happened to adaptor and charging cable too. Now i want to buy a new original charger for my v30 and can someone tell me how to spot the difference between fake and real charger and cable?i would really appreciate it.

It sounds like you're **assuming** because it failed, it must not be original?
I'm not so sure that's a safe assumption. Nonetheless, I'd avoid the oem charger (I have multiple of them) as they get pretty warm, as does the phone, when charging.
Go with something that is highly rated and certified for Quick Charge 3. The Anker I bought charges faster and stays cooler than oem chargers do. There are various QC3 mfg to choose from, get one with high ratings and u should be all set.
This is the one I got, it works fine: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077HFFLMS/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

Right. You don't need "LG" charger, you need good QuickCharge 3.0 charger. There are many available, but Anker is trusted name brand.

Ok thanks ?

FYI, the V30 is also USB PD compatible. It will quick charge with type C laptop chargers as well as Pixel and Essential phone chargers.
Edit- Nekteck brand makes IF certified chargers, it is available from Amazon and I have a car and wall charger that have both served me well.

Agreed, Anker is a great brand. Aukey is another good one - their cables are terrible (at least for USB micro, in my experience). Still, these are two great ways to go without wasting money on the LG (or any other brand's) rebadging.

I always use Blitzwolf. They have some great chargers / cables.
I also bought an Aukey one and it seems solid.

Just to put in my opinion, I like Blackweb products.

Luckily certified QuickCharge 3.0 charges are inexpensive. You can get a 3-pack for like $12 with free shipping.

No. You need Qualcomm certified QuickCharge for fast charge. OnePlus won't license that.

Off topic, but are you staying with LG for 5 more years? If so I need you to give a heads up on every unlocked V series device with fastboot commands.
