It can be frustrating when you’re out and about and your phone runs out of battery. And if you have a type C phone, charging it can be even more difficult.
Or you lost your charger and now you’re stuck without a way to charge your phone. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
In this blog post, we will teach you how to charge your type C phone without a charger. All the methods shared in this article will require you to have a Type C cable with you or a wireless charger.
Use a USB Port
For this, you will need the cable compatible with your phone, in this case, a type c cable, and simply plug it into the USB port of your computer or laptop and you are good to go.
If you are at a mall or airport, look for charging stations that have a USB port where you can plug in your phone and charger.
The majority of USB ports in airports and some coffee shops provide sufficient power to charge a typical smartphone. Some hotels even provide USB ports in their lamps and bedside tables.
Make Use of a Power Bank
A power bank is one of the most essential tech gadgets that you should have with you at all times, especially when traveling.
They come in handy when you need to charge your phone on the go but don’t have access to a charger or an outlet. Charge your power bank in advance and take it with you whenever you leave the house.
You can recharge portable electronics like laptops, tablets, and mobile phones using the power bank. There are batteries within the power bank that store the charge and then transfer it to the connected devices via USB ports.
Most modern power banks can provide enough power to fully charge your smartphone but may not do it as fast as a charger. But it is still better than having no charge at all.
Use your car
Another option is to use a car. Most cars nowadays have USB ports that you can use for charging or you could also buy an adapter that plugs into the lighter port.
Just make sure that the charger you’re using is compatible with your phone and can deliver enough power to charge it quickly.
You can also just turn your car into accessory mode or ignite it without starting the engine which will also power the USB ports.
Solar-powered charger
If you’re really in a pinch and can’t find any other charger, then a solar charger could be your savior.
Solar chargers work by converting sunlight into electrical energy that can then be used to charge your devices. They are great for emergencies and can come in handy when you’re outdoor hiking and have no other way to charge your phone.
Just set up the charger in direct sunlight and let it charge. When needed just plug your type c cable into the charger and then into your phone.
Wireless charging
Another option is to use wireless charging. Many phones these days come with wireless charging capabilities.
Electromagnetic induction and electrical resonance serve as the foundation for wireless charging technology.
In Simple words, a circuit created by coils located on two surfaces (the back of the phone and the charger) that are relatively close to one another creates an electromagnetic field that enables energy to be transferred from one area to another.
All you need is a wireless charger and you’re good to go. Just place your phone on the charger and it will start charging. Wireless chargers are great because they are very convenient and easy to use.
Crank Chargers
Crank chargers are a great option if you’re looking for something more durable and long-lasting. They are also very easy to use, all you need to do is crank the handle and it will start charging your phone.
Since a hand-crank charger doesn’t need electricity, it’s a great option for outdoor activities or emergencies.
When using a hand-crank charger, connect the phone’s charging wire to the charger and keep cranking the handle until your phone has a useable charge.
Some hand-crank come with built-in batteries, allowing you to charge the battery and then use that battery to charge your phone when needed.
Even though it is a good solution, it is not the most efficient way to charge your phone. It would take a long time to get a full charge not to mention the prolonged force that you must apply with your arms to generate electricity.
