A bad USB cable can cause the battery to not charge well

USB Type-C

The charger seems like a key element to charge your battery efficiently. A charger with a certain power can help you quickly charge your mobile battery. However, if you use a bad usb cable, everything you have in your charger may not be useful. And we are not talking about the Type-C, we are talking in general about the quality of any cable.

Losing fast charge

How much does a cable cost microUSB? Not much money, little. A quality cable, of high quality, can cost less than 10 euros. However, there are fast-charging chargers with three sockets that cost less than 5 euros and include a USB cable. These chargers could have prices of about 30 euros if we buy them from a brand of guarantees. Many times, some users say that we only pay for the brand here, but this is not the case in many cases. We are not paying for brand, but we are paying for quality. In certain cases we may pay some brand name. But when we buy very cheap, we are doing without quality, and when it comes to working with electricity, that is bad. We are not going to talk about chargers. Because who else who least has at home the charger of a quality device, such as a brand mobile. But it is easy to have cables that are not quality, the kind that come as a gift with cheap devices. And many times we think that the cable is not relevant, but it is.

USB Type-C

For example, we can lose energy efficiency. With a poor quality cable, all the power of a charger could be lost because of the cable. We could run out of fast charging, and make our mobile charge slower, or even, if we have the screen on, the curious situation could arise that the mobile is in theory charging, but battery capacity decreases. Why? Because no more energy is offered than is expended. Everything is lost on the wire. A quality cable could be relevant to charge the mobile faster. And the expense would not be very high.

A bad cable is dangerous

But here we can also talk about how dangerous a cable can be. That our mobile takes an hour more to charge might not affect us if we charge it at night. If our cable supplies power in the wrong way, or if it does not have the required insulation for the different connections, could generate a short circuit, or an overload. When we work with high power, this could set the mobile on fire, or make it explode, and this would be serious. Not only would it damage the mobile, but it could also jeopardize our integrity.

Thus, don't think the cable is not relevant. Buy a quality cable for your mobile. Do not accept any poor quality cable, and spend a little money on a cable that is guaranteed.
