so i have the blitzwolf for review and it works very well. it takes a bit longer to ramp up to full speed, but once there it holds them pretty well. the a and c port appear to be independent as well, but i am noticing that i am getting speeds up to 2.6a on the a port with a compliant type c cable. from my understanding a compliant cable should only be able to pull 1.5a, or am i wrong? i reached out to blitzwolf but didnt really get an answer, just that the type a port is capable of delivering 2.4a.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
If the cable is compliant, the phone and charger should be negotiating between each other for power safely. I think 2.4A is the max for the Apple charging protocols, so 2.6A is a bit of an oddity. I'd be interested to hear what their reply is.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] andy o:
How are you measuring? Apps aren't very accurate, and that may well be within margin of error.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] kellybrf:
ampere. so an a to c can pull 2.4 or 3a even if the type a port is rated for it?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] andy o:
A to C in-spec can only output max of 2.4A, and that's with a proprietary protocol, the only one there is like that I think is Apple's. What I'm saying is apps like Ampere and others aren't accurate. It even tells you in the app description. Depending on the device, they can be close, or they can be wildly off. The better way to check would be with a hardware USB power meter.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
Should any car charger using the included A to C cable be safe? Seems most worries are about fast charging and the type C cables.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] kellybrf:
the worries are about a to c, c to c should be fine. the issue is out of spec a to c cables, so the included one is safe

Car Charger Troubles and Questions

I've been struggling with car charging and have read here and googled so if I missed it I apologize. When I drive I have my phone dash mounted with a DashCam app running in addition to Waze and various streaming audio apps connected to my car's Bluetooth. Since upgrading to the Nexus 6P from the Samsung Note 3 I can't seem to solve the problem of the phone using more charge then it's gaining. At first I tried the iorange-E USB A-C cable with thisAmazon Basics Charger AmazonBasics 4.0 Amp Dual USB Car Charger for Apple and Android Devices (High Output).

Now I'm using the iorange-E USB C-C cables approved by Benson Lueng and have tried using the OEM C-C cable. The car charger adapters I'm trying now is the Vinsic® USB Type C Car Charger Adapter with Type C and Standard USB A Outputs

What charger do I need to get this phone to work for me while driving with this stuff running? Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] darby427:
i have had good luck with the monoprice 3a type c charger - http://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=108&cp_id=10826&cs_id=1082603&p_id=14160&seq=1&format=2

consistantly pushes 2.8-2.9amps to the phone
[Nexus 6P Accessories] d1rk:
Darby,

That looks suspiciously similar to the one I'm using ... I keep trying to post links and images and am finding this forum practically unusable. Sorry. The charger you're recommending looks like it's a rebranded clone of the one I'm using. Vinsic

Specifications:

Input: DC 12V-24V/1.2A

Output: 5V, 3A (Max)

Dimensions: 53*28*28mm (L*W*H)

Weight: 16g

Is there a difference? Is anybody else experiencing what I am? If I drive for 3 hours with DashCam, Waze and stream Audible over BT my phone with drain while plugged into the car charger while the phone displays rapid charging. I have not had this problem before with lesser chargers, cables and phones. :confused::crying:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] darby427:
that I cant answer.. all I know is that the monoprice version has worked well for me
[Nexus 6P Accessories] d1rk:
Spent quite a bit of time today reading a good chunk of this thread which was helpful. The power monitoring apps allowed me some visibility into what's happening when I'm running my normal driving apps, CamOnRoad, Waze and the likes of Audible or Pandora, etc connected via BT...

I used the CurrentMonitor app and was able to see that the problem is the video camera on the Nexus 6P is a hungry beast. I know Capt. Obvious but it will be interesting to see how much juice my Samsung Note 3 video camera uses because with the high power chargers used with the Nexus 6P it can't keep up with the Vid Camera. I never had any trouble running this stuff on my old device. I'm now resigned to the fact that I can't record my entire trip during long hauls. Running around town will not be a problem. I had some old lady cross into my lane and hit me and it was her word against mine which is why I use a dashcam now.

Thanks.

I bought this http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01A6TQJ40?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01

using this cable

http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0119OI9XU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

works great. getting 3A while charging
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Deeaycee:
Not working for me.

I just received this charger and cord from Amazon.

This charger definitely does not Rapid Charge for me. You never see "charging rapidly" on the lock screen. With my battery at about 60%, this charger was putting out about 480ma. The wall charger that came with the phone put out 2800ma. Faulty charger?

Do we still not have a good car charger to buy? This is nuts. I can't find any good info anywhere.

What do you guys think?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] irononreverse:
I use this:

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B014F2NQ36/ref=pd_aw_sims_1?pi=SL500_SS115

And an official Google cable. Displays rapid charging and it gets up to 2500ma
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Haul:
I've had success with this one: http://www.amazon.com/Charger-Tronsmart-Charge-Technology-Standard/dp/B01B7NIG72/ . It does 3A on the Type-C port and Quick Charge 3.0 on the Type-A port.

They make another model which does QC 3.0 on the Type-C port (breaking the USB spec) and no QC on the Type-A port. Be aware of the difference in the two models before you buy one.

I prefer the first model over the Visnic/Monoprice charger because it has QC 3.0 on the Type-A port, while the Visnic/Monoprice does not. It also keeps outputting a steady 3A after a second device is plugged into the Type-A port, while the Visnic/Monoprice does not.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] 8en:
Ether the charger or cable is faulty. I just checked mine again and it working. Charging rapidly and Ampere shows 2980 mA.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Deeaycee:
I tried the charger again, and it it showing Rapid Charge. Don't know why. Don't know how. But it is working and I'm happy.

OK. I'll swap the cord and try again. Thanks for replying

Anyone know if these would work?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rufflez2010:
Thanks, can't wait to see if it will charge at 3A

I might just use a bunch of those micro USB to type 3 adapters in the meantime
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Has anyone reached out to TronSmart to ask whether their Type-C charger supports Type-C faster charging instead of QC 2.0 or perhaps both?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] warplane95:
does anyone know why the VINSIC car charger is currently unavailable right now?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Hayaku:
There were only 8 left by Friday night. They're sold out by now probably.

I refreshed Saturday night and they were "unavailable" by then.

There's one on eBay for 12.99CAD. Ordered that myself. Chance it'll be a knockoff. We'll see.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Tronsmart's is on sale for $12 via Amazon with code WLUTIB2W
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tietherope:
Just keep in mind this charges up to 2.4A.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] TheDave1022:
At that price, I might be okay with that. It's still a pretty fast charge rate, but would be nice to get the full 3a
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Yeah I had second thoughts about it and canceled.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] onilink67:
Any thoughts on this one? I'm looking for a dual port model (USB-C + USB-A) that can charge both my 6P and my fiance's iPhone 6 simultaniously without lowering the amperage (3.0A for mine and 2.1A for the iphone I believe)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0146FK3G0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00
[Nexus 6P Accessories] TheDave1022:
That's the one selling for $12 with the coupon code found a few posts up. It would give you 2.4a instead of the full 3a
[Nexus 6P Accessories] onilink67:
I missed that part, is there something available that does 3a out of usb-c and has a usb-a port?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Swidge:
This one has been mentioned earlier in the thread a couple of times but there don't seem to be any reviews available.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/StilGut-Car-Charger-Type-C-Black/dp/B01278TNMS

There was an identical looking one on Amazon US by a company called VINSIC but it sounds like it's no longer available.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] onilink67:
I ordered the vinsic one off ebay yesterday since it seems like the closest thing to what I'm wanting and I had enough ebay bucks to cover it, doesn't have enough to charge both at optimal amperage at the same time but seems to be the best available now (at least on paper)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] LiqudDeth:
Found this one on US Amazon that looks to be the same charger just re-branded:

[Nexus 6P Accessories] kellybrf:
thanks for stopping by. I think most people are concerned more about the quick charge ability...do you guys have plans to offer a 3a 5v type c charger? ones for both car and home would be very much in demand here
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ironjaw:
This! Totally this.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
Yep. Once I get to work, I beat up my phone all day. I don't sit in my office a lot - meetings, labs on different floors, etc. - and have to check mail, web, and documents away from my PC. The 40 minute commute home is my only chance to recharge, and fast charging is critical if I want a working phone that night!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
I hope you have that supports the standard 5V 3A for the Nexus 5x and 6P. I ordered one of your Type-C car chargers but canceled jt when I noticed it only goes up to 2.4A for 5V
[Nexus 6P Accessories] akwally1:
Just to save someone the trouble of digging, here are some 3.3 ft (approx.) Type-C to Type-C USB 3.1 cables I found on Amazon. We'll need a 3.1 cable to get the full power transfer from the 3A car charger.

Came across this for VAG cars. Clearly says for charging only. It doesn't give any specs on charging ability.

Volkswagon/Audi MMI to USB-C

Ayangyang is a company I've never heard of, nor can I find a website for them for more info on the product. More of a "Outside the box charger" idea.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Skitals:
I got a micro USB MDI cable and the thing charges so dang slow it's unusable. I don't think there is a lot of power available on the bus, so I wouldn't expect the type-c connector to make any difference, unfortunately.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
Check this out.

http://www.hellonomad.com/products/roadtrip

Might do 5V at 1.5A charging on the Nexus. That's not 3A fast charging output, but 1.5A Type-C is better than 0.9A, I'm thinking.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rufflez2010:
its not worth it, you can get the tronsmart listed above for less and charges at 2.4A @5V. The only advantage the Nomad has is that it can act as a battery as well.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Elnrik:
Which makes it quite different from the Tronsmart. Thus, I posted it in case someone found it useful.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rufflez2010:
It was posted a few pages ago as well... Oh well. Might be best to wait until more chargers come out. Battery life should be excellent. Definitely noticing an improvement on Marshmallow on my Nexus 6. Currently sitting at 81% and its 7pm
[Nexus 6P Accessories] titaniumSS:
Ordered the Yoobao car charger, should be here today. Hoping it will do well when the 6P arrives. Also grabbed a Spigen USB-C to USB-C cable for the car.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Do you use your phone? I'm always using it and end up with 30% by 1700... I take it off the charger around 0500 so that's only 12hours but i do have 3-4 hours of screen time at that point along with other stuff I use it for (AW paired, GPS on etc...)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rufflez2010:
Depends on which job I'm at. I have 1 job that's pretty lax on the "No Cellphone Policy" (main job) and the other is very strict (per diem). Yesterday I got to my car with 70% at the lax job. I know my screen on time isn't any different, but the juice I have when I get home and get to enjoy a game or netflix is definitely a lot more.

Currently at the lax job today and at 94%. Off charger at 10:15am EST when I got here.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dorkboy69:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0146...40&keywords=Tronsmart&dpPl=1&dpID=41JIoHNsY0L

Just ordered this charger and if you use coupon code IBH6KAP5 you get $9 off
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
I see, I've never been able to have that much left at the end of the day no matter how little I use it. Over the summer I interned at a company and I was in the field a lot where there was no signal. My phone drained faster like that because it would constantly search for signal.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rufflez2010:
True. I definitely get better life in the main pharmacy and my second job pharmacy that's elevated to the second floor and has plenty of windows (rare for hospital pharmacies). When I work in the ICU, however, signal is pretty hit or miss. I still don't need to charge the phone, just a bigger hit on battery there.

BTW, I also uninstalled Facebook. They don't ask for permission on Marshmallow, so it crashes every 10 seconds or so with the latest update. Much better battery life since.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] sewannabe:
An Option for Full Charge Rate

I found a car charger that should allow the max charge rate. I can't post links but it is made by Quickertek for Macbooks and is called the C-Juicz cigarette lighter charger.

It's relatively expensive ($25), has a long fixed cord, and does not appear to have any other ports. It might work for someone here and I have not seen it posted yet. My prior experience with the cheap car chargers is that they commonly don't deliver claimed rates and or get scorching hot. When I am in the field fast charging will be quite useful and I want a car charger that will deliver the full charge rate. I'll be waiting until someone posts a review of the Yoobao or other USB 3.1 type C alternatives before I purchase one...so please let us/me know what your experiences are.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] akwally1:
Interesting find... I just e-mailed them asking what the charge rate is, so when I hear I'll update this post.

Edited: Looks like it's 15v@3a, so unless the 6P can modulate the power, not going to work.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Well normally when we had wells they weren't close to any civilization depending on the location. It was mostly farmland and trees then our site so it was nice and quiet when we weren't completing the wells. I just 'supervised' and worked with some people while learning about the field aspect of my job. When I was in my office I had excellent signal so it wasent an issue.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Swidge:
Looks like the C-Juicz charger may not do 5 volts. The only information I can find states "Voltage range of 11.5 to 16.5 Vdc".
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ylexot:
That's probably the input voltage.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] misha810:
perhaps
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dwswager:
I think it's quite clear. From the Google Store Site for the 6P:

What's in the box

Nexus 6P

USB Type-C 15W (5V/3A) charger (captive with a Type C end)

USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable

USB Type-C to USB Standard-A plug cable

What is not clear is will the phone provide FAST CHARGING with the Type A to C cable? It is certainly possible to send more than 5V/2A via that cable. Hell, I get 18W (12V 1.5A ) via Type A to Micro B now. Either the phone should be USB Power Delivery compliant or it shouldn't be using the configuration channel at all.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] htowngator:
If you watch Vergara's video you'll see it say "Faster Charging" on the bottom of the screen when c-to-c is being used.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dwswager:
That's the issue now isn't it! Either it should have followed the USB-PD spec (fast charging with any PD compliant "marked" [read expensive] cable including Type A to C) or it shouldn't (fast charging with any cable). Unfortunately, like Motorola with the Moto X PE, they cut corners on the 6P to hit a price point. While some will like the price point over functionality, I would have preferred a "flagship" phone instead, especially with the 5X already filling the "value" slot.

I anxiously await the availability of non-captive wall and car chargers that support fast charging (5V/3A) of the Nexus 6P. I also hope the battery life on the 6P is so good that like wireless charging, fast charging becomes less of an issue.

I'm tempted to order this one...

[Nexus 6P Accessories] akwally1:
I just heard back from emailing the folks a Quickertek and they say:

Sorry, no the output is about 15vdc at 3A.

Being I know next to nothing about electricity, does that mean that the Nexus 6P won't be able to use this voltage to fast charge?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] htowngator:
that doesn't make sense

15 volts @ 3A? that's 45 W

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------

5V/2.4A is not 5V/3A

The question is whether or not that'll work for true fast charging.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] kellybrf:
they sent me one to review, I'll have a thread over in the nexus 6 forum in a few days, but it's a good charger. I can't speak for the USB c yet and it won't provide the full 15w, but it's still a well made charger and the qc portion works as expected on my nexus 6. the cables are nice and thick too
[Nexus 6P Accessories] init_dot_t:
I don't expect it to be fast charging but it seems like its the closest to 5v/3a that I can find.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ylexot:
No. 15V could fry the phone (unless the charger is smart enough to not send the voltage and/or the phone has overvoltage protection).

It is possible that the charger could detect what the phone wants (5V) and use that voltage, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Also, I wouldn't buy anything from a company that doesn't provide more useful/detailed specifications nor one that would name their product "C-Juicz" ;)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dwswager:
I was actually looking at this Tronsmart one. It is captive and 2.4amp (12W) and has a QC 2.0 Type A port that it says can do 18W (9V/2A). I find it somewhat telling that Google does not have one listed at all on their site for the 6P. Let's face it, a 5V/3A car charger sold by Google, in the absence of anything else, would sell like hotcakes at even elevated prices.

I'd love to hear what FAST CHARGING means to Google. 15W is actually a lot of power (12W 5V/2.4A for that matter) for these types of devices, but it is the varying of voltage (pressure) with changing resistance which is the trick in quick charge. I would find it hard to believe that the device is internally hopping voltage.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] akwally1:
Thanks for the clarification. And from the shortness of the reply, I'm guessing that their charger isn't designed to regulate the power. But how can you diss the Juicz? There's an extraneous "z" at the end of the name that signifies....um...something?

Yeah, not ordering from them is probably a very good idea. :)

[Nexus 6P Accessories] Bigal77:
I think I'll buy the tronsmart one.... About the same speed on their latest test. Check update 3.

20 bucks here in Canada, plus a second port with quick charge for the fools still on micro usb
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rufflez2010:
Meh, notice on all of them that time to complete charge is within minutes of each other. This isn't a very technical test they did.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Bigal77:
Not really

They provided the mah per hour.

In conclusion... When the battery was below 40% only the original charge got to 2650mah per hour (quick charging) while none of the others, besides tronsmart got close. It got 2550mah so it also quick charged. The others got between 1000 and 1500, meaning 3 hours to fully charge

Quick charge starts quickly when battery is low then slows down. I expect the tronsmart did just that
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Deltatko:
I posted this in another thread but thought I should share here too

Get this. I've had 2 of them for a year or so and they charge my N6 faster than any QC2 charger I have. No usb c, so if you really want that you are SOL but I don't think that it will matter

[Nexus 6P Accessories] tietherope:
Can anyone explain why the Tronsmart car charger one does so poorly in the update 2 test? I know the battery was at a higher level for that one compared to update 3, but the stock charger worked at the same rate in both tests.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Bigal77:
True

I like that tronsmart commented on that in the comments section lol

I heard even the normal charger slows down.... Maybe it was just that.

I heard the nexus 6p goes 0 to 90 percent in like an hour but the final 10-15% takes another twenty plus minutes

The fact the charger hit the same rate indicates its possible.
