Thank you! The OTG device with the A-plug inserted is called the A-device and is responsible for powering the USB interface when required, and by default assumes the role of host. Jon, See the USB On-The-Go connectors section below for a more detailed summary description. If you don’t connect anything to the data lines in the USB connectors, the currents for each phone will never be higher than 500mA. What can I do?

The wattage is often labeled on the adaptor, but if you can’t find it, reference Apple’s website to see what they look like. Apparently there is a slight difference in the diameter of that cheezy, tiny tip. I appreciate a lot for this great article. I have an android tablet with a3.7V Li-Polymer battery. The accessory port acts as any other port. Even when I plug it in, there it no lights (white or red) to indicate that it is connected or charging. In addition to limiting the total average power used by the device, the USB specification limits the inrush current (i.e., the current used to charge decoupling and filter capacitors) when the device is first connected. Am I damaging its battery?
Does your phone’s battery drain quickly? Your cable is worn or damaged and some of the wire strands have separated internally. I’ve used the second power bank now and charged it with a 2.1A rated USB AC wall adapter charger with no problems. So I conclude that there is definitely a problem with current not being limited, but not sure which device is at fault, the car charger or the power bank. If I’m charging a phone via a computer’s USB port, does the computer’s USB port know when to stop charging (by sensing battery voltage) or will it always supply 5VDC regardless of what the battery percentage is? With 2.1A, would it pumping in too much current to the battery. I need to clarify - now I´m using LM2596 circuit without the CC CV ability - this type: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LM2596-DC-Adjustable-Step-Down-Power-Module-LED-Voltmeter-USB-2-54mm-Needle-/161025990411?hash=item257de59f0b If you’ve checked the charger and the battery (by testing them on another mobile) and there seems to be nothing wrong with them but the phone is still not charging, the fault probably lies within the phone. Make some article about using a 5V USB plug to extend laptop battery life. [citation needed], Developed at roughly the same time as the USB 3.1 specification, but distinct from it, the USB-C Specification 1.0 was finalized in August 2014[26] and defines a new small reversible-plug connector for USB devices.
