[@minimumeffortenthusiast8242]

Additional pros/cons Pros: this extends the life of your device's charging port as you're not constantly connecting/disconnecting it. If you drop your phone or anything that might hit the cable it will simply disconnect instead of bending or causing damage to the port. No foreign debris will make its way into the charge port as it is always covered. Cons: magnets attract dirt, so it is very likely that if you were to drop your phone or put it anywhere near dirt, it'll magnetize it and if you've ever removed dirt from a magnet you'll know it's a pain.

They do have fast charging capabilities. If you *Google* "TOPK Magnetic Charging Cable,(4-Pack,1ft,3ft,3ft,6ft)3A Fast Charging Data Transfer USB Magnetic Cable" it should be the first link. I bought 3 sets and literally have the dongle parts plugged into phones, mice, headphones, controllers, nintendo switch and ipads, with the cables scattered throughout the house (and car) so everyone can pretty much charge everything anywhere.

[@PhongPham-lt7rr]

I’m here to tell u they are now supported 100w pd charging now

[@MortalWombatUK]

I got some similar ones from Statik, but I wouldn’t recommend them at all. They worked at first, but a year on… not so much. The charging just keeps dropping out, dropping in, dropping out, dropping in… If it’s a device that’s constantly going in and out if your pocket, the conductive metal plating eventually rubs off the magnet. And the magnet VERY easily lets moisture into your charging socket, so then you can’t charge the phone for several hours. Avoid.

[@douggolde7582]

I have the same cables. Great idea, but the end with the magnet fails. I did an autopsy, the magnet has little spot welds inside to attach the wire. These break with use.

[@jaden_kys]

Normally when I play games on my phone while charging I will accidentally bend the charger due to the shape of my phone, so the magnetic charger would work better since if I bend it to much it would just disconnect, but I could just leave it there to charge using a normal cable

I was using these for awhile, they are convenient but at some point the inside of one got metal shavings in it which bridged the connection and caused an issue with my phones battery and it it smelled burnt. I ended up not using them anymore. a USB C is rated about 10 years if you unplug and replug it in 3-5 times a day.

[@ironeo]

These are great for micro usb cords specifically. Those have to be the worst ever cord nubs. They broke on me constantly because the little prongs break or wear down with repeated plugging and unplugging making the cord loose and slow charging. Magnetic ones completely fix the problem.

[@khoale4755]

I tried one of these magnetic chargers and in an hour my battery went from 40% to 44%. At this rate it will take a couple days to fully charge. My original charger fully charge in just over an hour so I really DON'T recommend these magnetic chargers. Are there quicker magnetic chargers out there or are they all the same?

[@YouLookinAtMe-Bro]

Yes, Amazon also has fast charge/data transfer magnetic cables. They cost a little more though.

[@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259]

You need to get a usb voltmeter to test your charger output in slow charge mode, or try a charger that doesn't have quick charge negotiation. If the charger voltage is under 5 volts or above 5.4 volts, it might be defective. Everything relies on charger voltage output. A longer cable will have more resistance and any non-quick charge cable longer than 3 feet may charge very slowly if at all. So select a short length cable for non-quick charge. Quick Charge operates by increasing the charging voltage to 9 volts or more depending, by negotiating a handshake with a quick charge charger. This higher voltage overcomes the cord length issue.

Does anyone know the answer to this?

I have the same problem mine is TOPK branded its 2m but its the same on the video the cable light or charging on the phone is flactuating/flickering when the wire in the end of the cable is slightly bent or touched only had it for 3-4 months and only used it for about once a week im guessing its causing a short inside when the cable is bent or the solder is really cheap and losing contact with the wires inside

[@baileyhatfield4273]

I had one amazon special, idk 20 or so CANADIAN dollars for 3 4 5 cords? and the typical like 9 inserts 3 of each. They lasted me well over a year and a half, no fast charge, but the chrome coating or whatever is on the inserts simply wore off, causing them to not charge well. I got another set, and this one the magnet isnt as good, and overall seems to be far worse. I think i'm going to go ahead and purchase one of the newer fast charge models, even with the high cost.

I'm trying to find an answer are magnetic chargers & data cables safe. I've seen many sites saying most people are afraid of the magnets harming the phone which makes no sense to me. I'm wondering why nobody is asking about having the terminals exposed where they can come into contact with conductive materials possibly shorting out the board. I mean these terminal do have the possibility to come into contact with water which is somewhat conductive unless it's distilled and I know that would make you think it's okay but what about metal. Anyone have any answers to this?

there seems to be a common problem of the charger not working after about 15-20 minutes of use. do you have any suggestions for a solution, or do you have a comment on this widespread issue? this is the reason i never trust tech review channels; this is concerning information that would have been easily found by this channel if they did just a small amount of research on the product for this review.

[@Doviruses.existbaileyonodysee]

They are very handy. . . One priduct did work with Quick charge (by coincidence). But got hot and burnt out. The glue failed and lost peices on some though. Some the glue/magnet cracks and also fell off. I still have a couple of the simple ones for a bt device :headphone, buds, speaker. etc. Which still work flawlessly When i do jobs driving a truck, and have to jump in and out all the time. A magnetic attachment is GOLD. 30cm length is useless. unless there is a particular permanent spot where you want neat cable management. 540deg cable is the best in my opinion. But for data transfer to a pc. if you bump a magnetic cable, you get interruptions, so have your physical cables handy. But yeh. I do wonder if buy nice or buy twice applies here. or it is just sheer luck on my end.

[@m16fermy]

Other brands will have quick charging or turbo charging or whatever you have what you want to do is search for the length of why you want as well as adding quick charging to the search bar and you'll be able to find some I have three 10 ft cables for around $25 that support quick charging and the only time I broke one was when I got it stuck between the seat of my car and it broke the tip which would have happened with any other charger
