Last night for some reason, despite being plugged into a power bank, my phone battery died. Which given its my alarm clock, is suboptimal. Hopefully tonight this doesn't happen again.
@quixoticgeek Delightful failure mode encountered by one of our campers at the weekend: Phone connected to new power bank by USB-C to USB-C cable (as used with USB-C wall charger). Bank woke up and gave a full 4 charge lights, but phone failed to take a charge.
I eventually realised the power bank was charging itself from the phone, and we scrounged up a USB-A to USB-C cable.
Possibly some RTFM required, but still a nasty gotcha.
@quixoticgeek On a related whim, I've just spent a quality few minutes connecting and reconnecting a pair of phones with a USB-C cable. Direction seems to be picked at random. Lovely.
