Best Cable For Charging Galaxy Note 5 In Car USB

[royh]

Hi everyone! psyched to be part of this community.

I had this short usb charge cable that so far has been the ONLY cable that has efficiently charged my Note 5 through my car usb port, as well as being quicker through the home charge.


I lost it, and as odd as this sounds for a computer programmer , i'm not sure what length it was but it was the shortest possible i believe , which i've heard may of had to do with it's success in the car.. don't know if it was usb 2 or 3..

anyone that can shed light on this like
- is there a common solution (cable type and length) that work well
- what is the shortest length in actual size (i'm 99% sure it''s the shortest they make them, just don't know how long)

would be very appreciated

Welcome to AndroidForums.com.

Most OEM cables are around 3' long, and seeing that your car's usb port probably isn't putting out as much power as a charging block it would make sense that longer cords wouldn't work as well. As far as brands, I've always done well with Anker. I believe the Note 5 still uses a Micro-USB port, but you should verify that first.

P.S. I fixed the spelling error in your title.

Hey thanks so much!! and thanks for correcting my spelling 3' means 3 feet right? i tried searching 3 inches and couldn't get anything..
this cable was super small though it barely reached my gear changer from the usb... you're sure 3 feet is the shortest made (assuming you meant 3 feet with your notation) ?

Yes, 3' is three feet. They do make shorter cables, I have some that are only 1 foot. The shorter the cable generally the better, at least so long as it is long enough to reach from the port to a convenient spot for the phone.

3' is the abbreviation for feet.
3" is the abbreviation for inches.
@royh, save this for future reference

I think you have that backwards.
