I just got my OnePlus Open and I am blown away by the screen, but I definitely need some extra charging gear. I want to take full advantage of that 67W SuperVOOC charging without being tied to the single brick that came in the box.
I am looking for a few specific things:
I am a bit confused if standard Power Delivery chargers work well or if I must stay within the official ecosystem. What accessories are you using to keep your Open topped up?
ok so basically, i've been in the oneplus ecosystem for years and here is the deal with supervooc. honestly it is a bit annoying cuz standard power delivery (pd) chargers wont really cut it. you will likely only get about 18w or maybe 27w with a generic brick, which feels like a total crawl once youre used to that 67w speed. the phone basically needs a specific chip in both the charger and the cable to handshake for those peak speeds. if you wanna save some cash, my biggest tip is to look for oppo or realme branded gear. it is literally the same tech, just different branding, and it usually costs way less than the official oneplus store stuff. here is what i have been using to keep my open topped up on a budget:
Similar situation here
I initially looked at the OnePlus+100W+Dual+Port+SuperVOOC+Car+Charger&linkCode=osi&------123456890?5422-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">OnePlus 100W Dual Port SuperVOOC Car Charger which is fantastic but a bit pricey for my budget. Then I found that the OPPO+80W+SuperVOOC+Car+Charger&linkCode=osi&------123456890?5422-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">OPPO 80W SuperVOOC Car Charger actually works exactly the same way.
I tried using my Anker 737 Power Bank PowerCore 24K and while it is a beast for my laptop, it only gave me like 18W on the Open. I eventually learned that if it doesnt say VOOC, it wont hit those high speeds. I ended up getting the OPPO+30W+VOOC+Power+Bank+2&linkCode=osi&------123456890?5422-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">OPPO 30W VOOC Power Bank 2 for when I am out.
I tried a generic Baseus 100W USB C Cable thinking the 100W rating would be enough, but it only charged at a crawl. I ended up having to buy the OnePlus+SuperVOOC+Type-C+to+Type-C+Cable+100cm&linkCode=osi&------123456890?5422-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">OnePlus SuperVOOC Type-C to Type-C Cable 100cm because you literally need that 6.5A rated internal wiring for the fast charging to even kick in. So yeah, my experience was basically that staying in the official ecosystem is the only way to get those insane speeds safely. Itll feel like a snail if you try to use standard PD gear! Peace!
So basically the consensus here is that you either stick to the official gear or go with the sister brands like Oppo to get those peak speeds. Everyone seems to agree that heat and the dual-cell battery are the main things to watch out for if you stray from the pack. Not 100 percent sure but I think I heard someone mention that the latest SuperVOOC specs might be getting a bit more flexible with high-wattage PPS, but IIRC it still throttles heavily if it does not see that specific proprietary chip in the cable. As a bit of a DIY enthusiast who usually loves finding workarounds, I have noticed:
Honestly, I was super cautious about safety with my Open! Comparing:
I strictly stay in-house now to protect my battery health!!
Would love to know this too
