Now $10 for 2: Anker’s 100W USB-C cables charge phones in 30 minutes  | amznusa.com

It’s time to upgrade your old charging cables you have lying around. Right now, Amazon is selling this 2-pack of Anker 100W USB-C cables for just $10. That’s $5 a piece for cables that are fast-charging and durable—an easy buy if you’re tired of slow phone charges.

At 100W, a flagship phone can charge from zero to full in about 30 to 40 minutes. Imagine that—your phone could be running on fumes, but if you can plug it in about half an hour before you’re out the door, it’ll be almost full and you can get through your day worry-free. All you need is a USB-C charger capable of outputting 100W, like this one. (By the way, 100W is fast enough for many non-gaming laptops, too!)

Note that these cables are 6.6 feet long, so they’re great for charging on the couch or in bed without being tethered to the wall, but they aren’t exactly great for portability. They’ll fit just fine in a laptop bag, and they’re nylon braided for durability, but don’t expect to coil them up and shove them into your pocket.

Also worth knowing is that these cables are primarily for charging, not data or video. They can transfer at up to 480 Mbps in a pinch, but that’s not fast enough if you’re constantly moving huge files (like 4K video). These won’t work for USB-C monitors either.

Despite the limitations, these cables are absolutely worth it when you can grab a 2-pack for just $10. Don’t overthink it.
