make sure all your devices are actually compatible with the charging setup you’re bringing.
Pay special attention to USB-C-to-C cables when charging low-power devices like air pumps, camping lights, and headlamps.
With a traditional USB-A-to-C cable, if there’s no charging protocol negotiation, power will usually still flow from the USB-A end to the USB-C device at a basic low-current rate.
USB-C-to-C is different. It requires a proper handshake so the devices can determine which side is supplying power and which side is receiving it.
Because of that, some older or poorly designed low-power devices simply won’t respond at all when plugged in with a C-to-C cable.
So test everything before leaving home. Better yet, carry a backup USB-A-to-C cable just in case.
