Are Dash USBs powered?

[Groo]

Ivetried both USB ports at the center bottom of the dash, and neither charges my phone. It does data connect and fool my phone into thinking its charging, but does not charge. Is this a problem or are they data only?

Don’t use the USB use the ‘USB-C’ port.
Mine charges my IPhone just fine with its 3.0 amp 5 VDC output.

Standard USB-C / BC 1.2: Delivers 5V at up to 1.5A–3A (7.5W to 15W).

I Never used the standard USB port because I don’t have anything that old anymore.

FWIW my IPhone charges fast up to 80%
Then slowly up to 100% for the batteries sake.

But like the Mavbrid’s power battery I don’t charge past 80% for longevity of the cells. My phone has a charge limit setting.


The exact VDC and Amps available depend on the hardware generation and connection type: [1, 2, 3]

• • USB 2.0: 5 VDC at 0.5 A (500 mA)
  • USB 3.0 / 3.1: 5 VDC at 0.9 A (900 mA)
  • USB BC 1.2 (Battery Charging): 5 VDC up to 1.5 A
  • USB-C Standard: 5 VDC up to 3.0 A
  • USB Power Delivery (USB PD): Dynamically negotiates voltages of 5V, 9V, 15V, or 20V (up to 48V in newer extended specs) at up to 5.0 A, providing up to 100W–240W of power.

Yes. I assume that your cable is missing the correct wires.

This has been my experience also.

The regular USB port charges my phone. Not very fast though lol...

Never had issues with charging, from the type A or type C port in the front.

Some usb cables are data only. Try a different one.

Yes, both should do 5v/3a charging.

If you download Ampere, you can see how many amps your phone is pulling. If it is only pulling 3-500ma, then there is a communication error.

USB uses a negotiated handshake between the charging device and the charger to agree on max allowable amperage and voltage. Some cables do not agree with some devices, typically the cheaper cables do worse, but not always. There could also be dirt, dust, or a wire with bad connectivity preventing communication and thus using the fallback charge rate which barely moves the needle these days.

My Samsung will charge off the USB A port fine. Also my understanding the newer iPhone's will no longer charge off a USB A port anymore and has to be a USB C.

Just realized that is incorrect. They may be charge only, not data only. Sorry for the mistake.

I tried one of each style. Odd that I'd get 2 bad cables, but I'll try another.

Check symbols at data/charge ports and on your cable ends....
= A USB data and charge symbol typically combines the standard USB trident logo (for data and general connection) with a battery outline or lightning bolt (for power delivery and charging).

I wasn't aware of that. Thanks.
