… now something I just randomly found out today. I would even get rid of this one and buy a new one if they did!

Xtar should update all of their models to support QC4/PD and they would get ALOT of new purchases/owners. Now with QC4 or PD this make the standard even more irrelevant/awkward because it doesn’t make sense.

especially the part where manufacturers can and do make hollow claims for QC3 support via type-c, it’s a mis-leading (and probably) their only option at the time. No legitimate manufacturer is going to sell such a product. TheIntruder wrote: That is correct, any adapter source that purports to support QC3 via a C-connector does not comply with USB spec. Otherwise, you’ll have to rely on an A2C cable to supply the VC8 from a QC3 adapter. Apple has never employed QC in any product, only its Apple 2.4 standard, and USB-PD on newer products. QuickCharge is a proprietary standard developed by Qualcomm. For that, you should stick with the RavPower 91W adapter you already have on hand.

A QC4 adapter, being PD compatible, will also charge your iPhone and iPad at full speed, but not your MacBook Pro, since it is limited to 27W maximum in PD mode. Since the newer standards are made to be backward compatible, a QC4 (preferably 4+) adapter is a possible solution, if you wish to standardize on C2C cables. QC4 and later are compatible with USB-PD, and do employ the C-connector. That is not unlike when lights first appeared with USB-C ports, but could only charge via A2C cables. There is really no good reason to do so, except to make an hollow boast about having a C-connector, and put users like yourself into confusing situations. Especially when the VC8 does not support USB-PD input. Why Xtar chose to employ a C-connector on the VC8, and not a micro- USB connector like they did with the VC4S is puzzling, and a question only they can answer. That is correct, any adapter source that purports to support QC3 via a C-connector does not comply with USB spec.

The only charger I’ve got to work properly is an old Mophie Qi charger brick but that is USB A, it doesn’t charge my MacBook Pro, iPhone or iPad. … additionally I bought a Blitzwolf type-c charger, and the same deal there.

I have tried the supplied cable, Apple MacBook Pro cable, and a Belkin cable-these are all type-c to type-c cables, and I have just tried switching ends, and even rotating, each time on both ports but didn’t get it to turn on.Ĭan you charge your VC8 or similar device with only type-c connectors i.e charger and cables? The RavPower 91w charger that I bought supposedly supports PD and QC3, it has 2 type-c outputs. A good powerbank is good for this as it will tell you the input currents it’s receiving in both Volts & Amps. As you want c-c play around with the cable to make sure the right end is in the right spot. The charger, the cable & what your charging.

If you want PD-18watt charging ALL 3 pieces need to support it. CR888 wrote: You need the right cable…and it needs to be installed the right way.
