Some outlets suggest that Google doesn\u2019t want you to slowly charge your phone, as the slow charge could damage its battery.<\/p>\n<p>But this simply isn\u2019t the case. In fact, the opposite is usually true. Fast charging generates a lot of heat, which can hurt a battery and reduce its lifespan. <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a>ly speaking, a slower charger will help preserve battery health, especially if you skip out on the Pixel\u2019s battery saver features. (That\u2019s why the Pixel 6 charges at relatively slow speeds compared to other flagship devices.)<\/p>\n<p>Our best guess is that the Pixel 6 simply ignores any charging speeds that fall below USB 2.0 standards. Charging accessories that don\u2019t fit these basic standards are often poorly made and could deliver an uneven stream of power to your device, which may hurt the battery.<\/p>\n<p>That said, we don\u2019t <em>really<\/em> know why the Pixel 6 is so picky about charging accessories. Google explicitly states <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/pixelphone\/answer\/7106961\">in its support page<\/a> that some charging accessories \u201cmight not work\u201d with the Pixel 6, so this is <em>probably<\/em> an intentional decision from the company. (Still, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if it\u2019s an unintentional bug, like the wonky fingerprint reader, the missing Google Assistant features, or the screen flickering.)<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Charging_Accessories_Should_You_Use\"><\/span>Which Charging Accessories Should You Use?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-99357\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/09\/f72445a0.png\" alt=\"A white USB-C cable on a white background.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/white-usb-typec-charger-cable-on-1503964163\">Primakov\/Shutterstock<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Google <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/pixelphone\/answer\/7167687\">suggests<\/a> charging your Pixel 6 with, at minimum, a USB-C cable with a USB 2.0 power adapter (the thing that goes in the wall). These are fairly low standards, so you shouldn\u2019t need to buy a bunch of new crap.<\/p>\n<p>Take the USB-C PD charging cable that came with your Pixel 6 and try using it with every power adapter you own. If your power adapters only have old-fashioned USB-A ports, try to find a USB-C to USB-A cable\u2014you may have one tucked in your desk or closet. (Earbuds, phones, and power banks often come with a USB-C to USB-A cable.)<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re still having trouble, then it\u2019s probably time to buy some new charging accessories. I suggest ordering a USB-C PD power brick and using it with your Pixel 6\u2019s official charging cable. If you lost this cable, there are plenty of third-party options that work just as well.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box\">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07R3S7P59?tag=reviewgeek-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/21C1ImfNGnS._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"product-box\">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B088NRLMPV?tag=reviewgeek-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/512+rDPw5UL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"product-title \">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Shop for Anker New Nylon USB C to USB C Cable (6ft 60W, 2-Pack), USB 2.0 Type C Charging Cable for iPad Mini 6, iPad Pro 2020, iPad Air 4, MacBook Pro 2020, Samsung Galaxy S21, Switch, Pixel, LG (Black)\" aria-label=\"Shop for Anker New Nylon USB C to USB C Cable (6ft 60W, 2-Pack), USB 2.0 Type C Charging Cable for iPad Mini 6, iPad Pro 2020, iPad Air 4, MacBook Pro 2020, Samsung Galaxy S21, Switch, Pixel, LG (Black)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B088NRLMPV?tag=reviewgeek-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Anker_New_Nylon_USB_C_to_USB_C_Cable_6ft_60W_2-Pack_USB_20_Type_C_Charging_Cable_for_iPad_Mini_6_iPad_Pro_2020_iPad_Air_4_MacBook_Pro_2020_Samsung_Galaxy_S21_Switch_Pixel_LG_Black\"><\/span>Anker New Nylon USB C to USB C Cable (6ft 60W, 2-Pack), USB 2.0 Type C Charging Cable for iPad Mini 6, iPad Pro 2020, iPad Air 4, MacBook Pro 2020, Samsung Galaxy S21, Switch, Pixel, LG (Black)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"product-features\">Boom, that&#8217;s two USB-C PD cables with up to 60-watt charging support for less than $20.
