<div dir="ltr">I forgot about USB-C. I don't know when we'll start seeing those but the socket type should be included in our list of possibilities. Agree too about the charging current. Even though quite useful, I suspect that information will be tough to gather. My iPhone was taking so long to charge in the USB outlet at SEATAC I pulled it and used the AC power adapter instead. The USB direct socket was obviously the low amperage type.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, May 24, 2015 at 7:04 AM, Colin Smale <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:colin.smale@xs4all.nl" target="_blank">colin.smale@xs4all.nl</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><u></u>

<p>There are two types of "big sides" (as far as charging is concerned): USB 1/2/3 which we all know, and then there's USB type C - new, reversible - not compatible cable-wise.</p>
<p>Also the max. charging current might be useful to know. At 500mA it takes a loooooooong time to charge a tablet - so knowing there's a 2.1A source round the corner is important information!</p>
<p>And then there's the Power Delivery specs, which allow for up to 5A @ 20V. Don't know if there are any public charging points with PD but it sure would be useful to know, if you happen to own a device which can use it.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Or is is what Todd mentioned (his post came just after I sent mine)? The various small USB connectors, mini-, micro-, etc., are designed for different appliances and vary in size. But the big side is standard. </div>

<div dir="ltr">@Martin - I'm not aware of any different types of USB socket - are you referring to USB 2.0, and USB 3.0?
<div> </div>
<div>If so, that can be handled by another tag, e.g. USB:version or USB:type.</div>

<div>Well if it's a VEHICLE charging station, it should have said that. They didn't specify what changing it was in the name - so it's surely open for all charging stations.</div>

<div>I tend to agree but it makes rendering more difficult, maybe we should make indeed a transition to vehicle_charging_station</div>

Bit long winded... how about<br><br> vehicle_charging .. for motor vehicles<br><br> bicycle_charging .. for bicycles<br><br> and<br><br> power_socket .. for power sockets ... <br><br> the are all different things .. with different appearances and requirements. <br><br> This would get away from those presently tagged and provide for a clean definition. <br><br> They could all use the same socket= tag just as they would use the same access, fee tags. <br><br> ----------------<br> Maybe the boaties will have boat_charging too? <span><span> :-) </span></span> Just thinking of the future. </div>
