Home Theater Chair "Rapid Charge" USBs - Nexus 6P General

People seem to have a hard time finding chargers that will do "rapid charge". This is pretty random, but my Berkline 12003 leather movie chair USB's will rapid charge and they've been around for at least a couple years. Each chair has a pair of lit USB's to chose from. I have a couple 0.2m Type-C USB cables I keep in the armrests if I need to charge my phone. Also a couple microUSB cables in there for my wife's phone (S4 mini), which ALWAYS need to be charged. If anyone is in the market for some home theater chairs, definitely impressed with these and now even more so they "rapid charge"!

I'm guessing it is your average 5V @ 2.4A ports, and not the 3A ports that the true Type C faster chargers can put out, but it's still a good option!

I bet you're right. I assumed they'd put the cheapest possible on the chairs, but for the price of them they did the right thing.

I'd love one of these but kinda blew the holiday budget already! I'll add it to my "wishlist" for boxing day.

PM me if you want more info. A home theater isn't really that much unless you go overboard with top end stuff. For instance half the cost of the room is in the chairs.

Is this really ur setup? (if so, bad @ss)

I have a couple 2a or 2.4a USB wall plugs in my shop. Tried connecting the 6p to both with the same cable (but longer) and was surprised that neither does rapid charge. What does the output on a charger needs to be to rapid charge?
Yep and thanks! It's a dedicated room I planned for when building the house. Didn't go overkill on the room (9ftx16ft) or equipment like alot of people do, I saw no reason since I mainly watch movies off the HTPC and DirecTV. I designed the Calloway Cinema sign and a buddy cut it out on his CNC router.

I tend to think this is less about USB rapid charging and more about bragging about your HT space.

If I wanted to brag, I'd done it years ago. Someone asked so I answered. So maybe next time you can contribute to this thread, like answering the question at hand.
Merry Christmas Grinch.

if it says you're rapid charging off of legacy Type A to Type C cables, then your cables are not to spec. They are lacking the pull up resistor which is part of the spec to identify it as a legacy cable. Charge rates should top out at 1.5A with a proper cable.
You may not care but there it is.

I definitely do, thank you!! You're right it is a type A to type c cable, says rapid charging and definitely wouldn't doubt if they're not to spec. I've noticed they do charge way faster off the chairs than off a computer, the USB type A 2.1A and the USB type A 2.4a chargers in the shop all with the same cable. I just got some cables, Ankway, yesterday that supposedly have the resistor. I'll give those a try this evening in the chairs as well as the other chargers and see if there's any difference.
Thanks again!

Very cool. I'd like a home theater like that, too. I have a chair at home LENTIA High Back Massage Chair office-chair-review. It's generally very comfortable to watch movies on, too. I live alone and it's enough for now. But when I have a family, I also want to equip myself with a room for watching movies together.​
