Can two phones use the same charger?

Not at all. In fact, a higher amperage charger will likely charge your phone even faster, and it can do so safely. Basically, all modern batteries are built with with a chip that regulates the input—they will allow what they can handle.

Can we use Type C charger from both sides?

Reversible and interchangeable USB-C is reversible, which means that unlike the Micro-USB plug you used on your last phone (a USB-B shape), you can stick in a USB-C cable any which way; either side is “up.” No more fumbling around or swearing under your breath when you have trouble plugging in.

Are all USB charging ports the same?

Not all USB connectors, cables and chargers are equal. For example, some wall chargers can supply more power than others and one particular USB socket on a laptop may vary in power from the others, or PCs with some able to charge whilst in sleep mode. You will also need to consider Amperage.

Can you get a virus from a charging cord?

This malicious cable works by injecting keystrokes onto your computer upon being plugged into a USB-friendly device. These keystrokes allow the attacker to download malware and infect your device, oftentimes by gaining remote access to your private files.

Are USB hubs secure?

External USB hubs are highly vulnerable to data leaks and need to be secured with encryption to ensure data privacy, say researchers at the University of Adelaide.

Is it safe to use USB hubs?

It’s safe, but i would recommend an externally powered one. It depends ALOT on the laptop, if it will be able to power the 10-port hub. For example, my Samsung laptop outputs nearly 1A of current from one port, where the limitations to usb standard is 550mA if i remember correctly.

Does side matter on USB-C?

Like Lightning and MagSafe, the USB-C connector has no up or down orientation. Line up the connector properly, and you never have to flip it over to plug it in; the “right way” is always up. The standard cables also have the same connector on both ends, so you don’t have to figure out which end goes where.

Can You charge your phone with a portable charger?

Portable chargers: Maybe you have a portable charger with an old USB connection, but a phone that only has a USB-C connection (which is not compatible with older USB ports). You can link the charger to a laptop that has both types of ports, and use it to power up your phone in a roundabout way.

Can you plug any USB device into any USB cable?

In short, no: You can plug any USB device into any USB cable and into any USB port, and nothing will explode — and in fact, using a more powerful charger should speed up battery charging. We now do this all the time with our mobile devices here at ExtremeTech, and we’ve never had a problem.

Can I charge multiple devices at the same time?

You can, but if you are using usb port in pc to draw power then it will take years to charge multiple device. Coz the current o/p will be in range of 0.5A to <1A. To charge multiple devices using such low o/p will take a lot of time. So laptop come with dedicated charging ports which will give an o/p of 1.5A. So may be this will work. .

Can a laptop charge over USB-C without a charger?

Some laptops come with USB-C ports that don’t charge. As you might expect, this is most common on laptops that always come with their own, proprietary charger. However, in some cases, we’ve run into laptops that can charge over USB-C even when they have a separate power jack.
