Common Cable Charging Issue

Common cable issues include not charging/intermittent charging/slow charging/not working. If you’re experiencing common charging issues with Anker cable, please try the following troubleshooting steps:

 

Note: If you want to use a 3-in-1 cable to charge your devices that are using the lightning port/Typer-C port, please know that you have to put the lightning plug/Typer-C plug on the micro plug. 

 

Not charging/intermittent charging/stop working/not working:

  • Wipe clean the tip/pins of the Anker cable with alcohol
  • Try the Anker cable with another device and charger to see if the issue persists
  • Try the original cable that came with your device to see if it has the same issue
 

Slowing charging issue:

  • Wipe clean the tip/pins of the Anker cable with alcohol.
  • Compare the time when you are using our cable and your original cable with the same wall chargers to charge your phone
  • If the time difference is huge, please try the Anker cable with another device and charger to see if helpful.
 

What should I do if the cable has frayed/physical structural damage?

Please contact support@anker.com for the warranty claim and suggest you not keep using them due to the safety risk.
