Improving charging of PBP battery

[james64]

I've read a ton of threads and see a lot of discussion around charging/discharging, links to Amazon power supplies, links to Pine64 usb to to barrel adapter. 

Is there an incoming wiki section on charging solutions? Similar to the NVMe wiki section... basically a wiki section that confirms which barrel chargers work  and which usb type-c chargers work well?

Due to my location shipping will be a pain. Otherwise I would happily be a guinea pig and report back suggested power supplies on Amazon.

No mater what you use, you are limited to 15W charge...
I have a 65W USB-C charger for my Surface, and it makes no difference on charging the PBP. Just use the original one. It charges faster if it is turned off.

Just use the original one.

I think a lot of people are looking for alternatives, not for faster charging, but simply due to the fact that the included charger cord is absurdly short. I have an outlet pretty close to my desk at home and the cord is not even long enough for me to charge the PBP on my desk. I have to set it on the floor for the cord to reach.

Ok so then you can use any USB-C adapter with 5V/3a rating. It can be more then 15W with no issues.

grab a stable thread and 2 nails, then get an multi-extension cord and suspend it with the thread @10 cm below your table. you'll be surprised, how nice it is, to not have a super long cord

Send me a link to one of those USB-C adapter with 5V/3a rating.

Basic adapters as you mentioned, no fast charge. Just straight 5v/3a.thx

I am using a few different USB-C pd chargers I already owned for my pixel 2 xl - one cable is 10ft and it is awesome.

the included cord is uselessly short.

FAST charging and multipurpose. USB-C for the win.

This is the one I have..

It is cheap enough and also as I already said it is also 65W for charging my surface quickly.

REMEMBER :
The 5 volts DC volt will drop voltage very quickly with length !

** You want to extend the input cord

NOT the OUTPUT cord !
