I thought USB C chargers were supposed to negotiate power and only
provide higher voltage if the device was able to accept it.
BTW, I recently bought an Asus ZenPad 10tablet. It came with a standard
5V charger, with a A connector and an A - C cable. I also recently
bought a Google Pixel 2 phone. It's charger came with a C - C cable,
but a 5V 3A output. So, it can provide higher current, but not voltage.
