So, what decides usb amperage?
I'm confused because
- official LG charger and Xiaomi power bank can charge at different amperage depending on the cable it use. Cheap local brands onky charge at max 500ma, while official Samsung usb cable at 800-1000mA.
- no brands usb charger can charge at max amperage at 1.3A, using any usb cables.
- charge only usb cable (no data connection) can draw 1.3A through official LG charger and xiaomi power bank.
Now frankly, I'm confused. What decides the amperage? The cables? The charger? The phone? All of them?
What exactly is used to decide the amperage? I don't think usb cable have a chip inside them...
Thanks
