Anyone, find a longer type C cable to replace the one shipped with our Mate 9? I just purchased a 2 meter cable from Bestbuy that was certified fast charge but it does not show up as Supercharge when charging. I noticed that our cables actually have 5A molded into the cable at the type C end and the one I purchased from Bestbuy was rated at 3A. I Googled but could not find anything. Just wandering if anyone else has found anything.
Thanks, Dhatw.
Looking for this myself for a while now. Actually I'm looking for any charger that supports the super charge feature, regardless of length.
Be careful if ordering off of Amazon, I bought one that was supposedly an OEM Huawei Mate 9 charger, but it wasn't. Slow charging...
I believe I read that Supercharge connectors have extra pins that aren't on a standard type-C cable, so you may need proprietary cables.
None of my longer usb c cables supercharge.
Not horrible speed though, about the same speed of my nexus 6p with quickcharge.

One of the very unfortunate parts of having this SuperCharge technology is that only Huawei's cables and chargers will work with it. I have seen some on Aliexpress, but I don't think they were longer than the original. I've also never found the car charger for sale.
I agree that a "regular" type C fast charge cable is not too bad as far as charging speeds. I just didn't want to mess anything up and also would like to get all that I can from my phone and charger. I emailed Huawei to ask them if they have a longer cable but don't expect a positive reply if at all.

This is the first phone with Supercharge. With the P10 about to come out, and probably more, perhaps Supercharge accessories may become a little easier to come by before too long, due to increased demand/market.
Where do most people place their supercharge? I find that when I do need to fast charge, it's either at work or while I am away from home. At home, I just leave it on the charger over night, so I do not see a need for it to be at home. Also, I heard that leaving it on supercharge over night could eventually cause a quicker wear and tear on the battery as opposed to just standard charging?
Anyone else do the same thing?
I have mine at home for when I need a quick charge, but I normally use slower chargers, as I believe it's better for the battery. I also normally only charge to about 90% or so, and don't let it get below about 40%, unless I know I'm going to need a full charge. I most commonly need a quick charge in the car, but that doesn't seem to be available yet.
SuperCharge ONLY works with the Huawei charger brick, and Huawei USB A to C cable.
With that said, USB PD works with this device quite well. My Pixel XL charger actually puts more current/power into the Mate 9 than it does my Pixel XL! Measured at the wall, the Pixel XL maxes out at about 18W... the Mate 9 hits 20W. It's not as good as SuperCharge, but it's close. There aren't too many reputable, good type C chargers available right now, so your best bet is to buy the charger on the Google Store for $35 that comes with a quality 6 foot USB C cable as well. I personally have Apple's 6.6 foot/2M cable as it is the longest/best charging cable for type C you can buy right now at $19.

Is that safe tho? I know there was a story the htc 10 was charged with a nexus charger and it made the phone incredibly hot.

I haven't noticed any issues. The phone doesn't really get warm either. This is using an e-marked (chipped) cable as well, so if it fails, it's Huawei's fault for breaking USB spec.
Has to be a certain gauge or something for this cable.
A few popped up on Amazon, anyone tested any of these longer cables out?

Thanks, order placed. I expect it will fast charge, but not supercharge.
I bought a couple of these on AliExpress, they look excactly the same (so they are 'short') and they do work with SuperCharge, very happy with them!
I think you would need a REALLY REALLY thick cable if you want to charge with 5 A and have a longer cable.

I got mine yesterday. Seems to fast charge. So no real difference from super charge. The 6 foot C to C cable seems solid.

Thanks, can you download Ampere and check out the actual charging current with the phone in airplane mode, screen brightness at minimum and the battery at 50%?
Stock cable should give about 4300-4400mA

eBay. Aliexpress. Maybe Amazon?
There is nothing "similar." It HAS to be Huawei's charger and cable for SuperCharge to work.

Yup purple markings. Theres some on ebay but idk if i trust them.
(First Post)
just ordered 3 USB-c from ali, going to see if they supercharge.
ordered 5 Anker USB-C cables 3x3ft, 2x6ft (have 0 usb devices) and none of them supercharge. it seems only the white and purple cable will supercharge!!
anyone know where to get another charger? im in talks with Huawei about chargers but they wont sell one seperatly.
"Regarding your last questions, you could buy another supercharger, but Huawei does not sell the products and accessories directly to end-users. As such, you will have to contact local or only retailers and purchase a 4.5 V / 5 A charger that is designed for the European region and is CE certified."
which i find frustrating cos i want to supercharge but i want to have a few chargers kicking about.

They won't sell you one DIRECTLY, that's what they're saying. You need to buy from a retailer. My local Mediamarkt sells them.

hola,
we (uk) dont have a media markt, and i cant find anywhere that sells superchargers.
although im going to germany in may, i know they have MM, so if anyone knows where to get them on the german website that would be much appreciated!
if anyone knows where to get one from in the UK that would be awesome.
Just charge it at night like I do. I leave it plugged at nights..

I would just ask Huawei for the list of authorized retailers in your country and then place an order with one of them.
For example my local Mediamarkt doesn't have them readily available but they're more than happy to place an order if I want. Same goes for the smartcover.

AM in the UK also I have asked Huawei about the charger and the response was check a retailer when i told them none of the retailers dont have any there response was we dont sell directly to customers.
Pretty poor when other OEM have chargers available
Any new information where i can buy Super Charge Charger or other compatible Charger?
I use my Nintendo Switch wall charger and car charger for my Mate 9. Both work flawlessly

The USB C to USB C cable that Google sells for the pixel works to supercharge. It worked for me with an Anker USB C PD charger that has 4 other USB A ports in it too I purchased the charger and cable to use with my chromebook pixel LS and plugged in my mate 9 on a whim... Io and behold two lightening bolts appeared and the phone charged at the crazy speeds of supercharge too!
Please give me a link to that cabels.

There's a difference between "fast charging" and "supercharge". I have a charger that will "fast charge" the M9, which still gives two lightning bolts, but it says "fast charging" rather than "supercharge". What does it say when you plug it in? I'm skeptical that it's actually supercharging. IIRC, fast charging shows two different sized lighting bolts, while supercharge shows two of the same size bolts (but my perception may have been off). My "fast charging" charger will charge the phone pretty fast, but not quite as fast as the original supercharge charger. And it seems that it does it with more heat in the phone than the supercharge charger.
Does anyone have a link to an official mate 9 charger buying page? Do u think there's a chance to find a portable charger (with support for huawei quick charge)?
Nope i tweeted their official Twitter account to ask about official spare charger and all they said was contact local reseller of which there is none

Only took a mere 5 months of searching for me to find one - and finally I have. And at a bargain price too - just $42.00 lol. Trying to comprehend how a company can make such a brilliant device, yet be so completely & utterly atrocious at everything else.

Man I could have gotten a Choetech charger (they're "Anker" cables, same factory) and some proper-spec USB-C cables with it, at that price.
Why insist on "official" if it doesn't exist or resellers are asking way too much, do research on alternative brands instead and, save some money.
I bought Huawei Honor Holiday Accessory Gift Box includes selfie stick, fast charge power adapter, USB-C data cable, and USB-C to Micro-USB adapter.
Trying to find one with an Australian plug - it's just not happening ?
Lately, the original 25W charger that came with my Moto X Style has broken off and I'm looking for a new fast charger for the phone.
I've come across this - https://buy.mi.com/in/item/3173700004 - Xiaomi 9V charger. It is QC3.0 certified, so I suppose this would fast charge MXS as well which is QC2.0 compliant device. It would cost me approximately 10$ along with Xiaomi's USB cable.
What do you guys think about it? Are there any other good options with at least QC2.0 certification? I'm from India, so if anyone from India has ever bought any good QC certified charger, please shed some light on this post.
Edit 1:
Got this charger delivered on 3rd May 2018. So far it is doing a great job. I ordered 2 Mi cables along with it. It takes ~60 minutes to charge the phone from ~5% to ~80%. The USB cables are just okay. It would be better to buy a better quality USB cable along with it. So for the price that it is sold for, it's just great and does its job well.
Good option
Have been using the same since the time it was launched in India with my style. Works fine. Haven't noticed anything strange. Charging time's are fine too . Just be careful with the cables at the joints.

I did the same to avoid delivery costs . The cable transfers charge fine . Just take a little care of the joints .My dad's using a note4 and the inbox cable survived a year only of careful usage .
As for the quick charger I bought it around Jan this year . Quick charge works fine on all compatible devices .
I've read countless comments here about how dash charging requires a compatible charger and cable. However. I recently made an unexpected discovery that certain cables sold on Amazon support dash charging with the Oppo branded VOOC chargers (but apparently not the OnePlus branded charger). I discovered this by accident when I plugged this cable into my Oppo charger:
Cable Matters USB-C Cable (USB A to USB C Cable/USB C to USB Cable) in Black 6.6 Feet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S8GU544/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_dkTJBbN069J3Z
Using this cable I get the beep, the blue light and the dash charging icon, and my OP6 does in fact charge at the faster rate. Wondering if it was a fluke, I bought a second cable and got the same results. This is great since these cables are 6 feet long, thin and flexible, and appear to be well made.
Now here's where it gets really weird: both cables only dash charge when plugged into the Oppo branded wall charger. When connected to the OnePlus charger they only charge at the normal rate. The Oppo charger looks exactly the same only with different branding. I do not know why these cables seem to work with one but not the other. I cant think of why they would support dash charging at all except that maybe they're made for the Chinese domestic market.

Is it safe for your cellphone?
From what I understand, OP has a way of knowing if one of their cables is connected. If using a generic cable, it will default to slow charging.
Seeing that OP fast charging is based off of OPPO fast charging, it should be fine.
I would assume the OPPO brick doesn't care who's cable you're using as long as it can support the higher charging rate
Ordered both, the USB/C cable was just delivered, 3ft is long enough. Found it on Amazon for $5 and the OPPO charger on eBay for $10, that's about a 1/2 price of Oem from OP site.($8 and $20 respectively) It's always good to have a spare 'just in case'.
Interesting find.

I think it's a sure bet since OnePlus and OPPO are under the same corporate umbrella. They might even have the same R&D for accessories.

I have read people recommending to get Oppo VOOC charger brick, as it supports Dash Charge.
Oppo and OnePlus are same companies.
Yes, its recommended to just buy oppo charger / cables. Both are the same and support dash (same name with vooc) . It's alot cheaper too.

Sometimes its the only option.
I am in Australia and the only charger with Australian pins is available through Oppo.
OnePlus does not manufacture AU chargers currently.
I have the official oneplus dash charger and the dash charging is activated with all the cables I have (an old huawei cable, and 2 generic ones) , but it took 3 to 4 seconds for the phone to activate dash charging while it is almost instantaneous with the official cable.
act OPPO and ONEPLUS is made in China and same parent company...instead of dash charges, OPPO call it VOOC
What about OPPO rapid (aka dash) car chargers for OnePlus?
If you can wait for shipping from China:
$8 - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-O...pter-Cable-For-OnePlus-6-5T-5-3T/223031157260
$13 - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-O...e-C-Cable-For-Oneplus-3T-5-5T-6/263870632520?

I was hoping to clear this up before proceeding with the order.
Anyone else able to get non-OnePlus OEM cables fast-charging with the OnePlus oem power supply wall charger?
For Indian Users:-
SKYVIK Blaze Nylon Braided Type C Dash Charging Cable for One Plus 3 3T 5 5T 6 6T (5V/4A)-2 Metre https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07GTX2F61/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_yIy7BbQMREE97
This Cable supports Dash charging and it is considerably long as compared to stock Cable.
Has anyone found a 10ft cable that is compatible with warp charging?
BlitzWolf BW-P12 supports dash 20 on my op6t in case anyone needs a powerbank with Warp charge. they do not advertise it anywhere, it just works. Also the advertised low power charge does not work.
