Anyone know if the usb data blockers like the portapow things will prevent a device from fast charging?

@quixoticgeek yes, normally they should only block D+/- and RX/TX lines. CC, VBUS and GND are required for USB PD.

@quixoticgeek It isn’t the ‘fast’ charging that destroys the battery, but you could try to go from USB-C to USB-A to USB-C, then you are again at plain old 5W power..

@quixoticgeek As said, you can go with USB-A in between to not have the USB-PD kick in. Also, going to drop this: https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/mobile-myth-does-fast-charging-ruin-your-phone-battery

@quixoticgeek I believe so, I would still add the data blocker in between in case of anything smart happens in between (because of the cable or one of the connected devices)
