It can also provide and receive power, to power, e.g., a laptop or a mobile phone.
It resisted the EU's common charging push, citing worries that it would limit innovation and end up hurting consumers. Apple held out even as others started adding USB-C connectors into their devices.
USB Battery Charging (BC) defines a charging port, which may be a charging downstream port (CDP), with data, or a dedicated charging port (DCP) without data. Dedicated charging ports can be found on USB power adapters to run attached devices and battery packs.
Quick Charge is a proprietary technology that can charge battery-powered devices, primarily mobile phones, at power levels exceeding the 7.5 watts (5 volts at 1.5 amps) supported by the USB BC 1.2 standard, using existing USB cables. The higher voltage available allows more power (watts) to be supplied through wires without excessive heating.
