Hi Lightbringer The problem with micro-usb connections is usually the quality of the cable. The cheaper ones give problems after a short while. I have 2 android phones & a few rechargeable flashlights & find the better quality cables work better than the cheap ones. I use Blitzwolf products from Banggood.

I do feel this with cables, when charging my phone and/or Powerbanks. Some are quite nice, others, not so much. But it seems to imply differences in time of charging (can’t measure this or current accurately, though :person_facepalming: )

And quality aside, usually using shorter usb cables is better for charging. The longer the cable, the more energy is lost just heating the wires.
