ONE PLUG FOR EVERYTHING.

just hope the plug has the right pinout, and the cable the right capacity.

    that explains my fucking headlight what is refusing to charge about 25%. slapped a better cable on there and it's getting up to 50% now.

    That's not on USB C mate. Shitty products will always exist. Like some can only be powered/charged from USB A to C, not C to C, since they didn't add a resistor to the CC line. A microscopic sub 1 cent part.
