I’ve maxed out the dilithium crystals Cap’n! They’ve given all they’ve got and they canna give no more.

Sounds promising though.

I updated the FAQ with the info from this thread: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/community-wiki/-/wikis/Frequently-Asked-Questions#211-what-does-the-usb-c-port-support-can-it-fast-charge-can-it-charge-other-devices

Thank you for being focused on the subject here! And (if you allow), one strict, yet another, pretty much similar example (actually link to review) of the USB Power Delivery Specification Rev. 3.0, Version 1.1 (or USB PD 3.0 PPS/QC4/4+ protocol) charger might be this one:
https://lygte-info.dk/review/USBpower%20Power%20Falcon%2045W%20PS300E-ACT-10%20UK.html

Also (just for the purpose of initial question here) only thing that I might note (or guess, related here only to this post linked example based on CY2311 controller) is that Librem 5 users should probably avoid charging his Purism Linux phone from such USB-A port (as shown within liked charger review or any other USB-A port, especially if it doesn’t support QC4/4+, IMHO, non-expert one). As well, what I’m trying to make, in addition under this thread, as understandable (point) here, is that (on the other side) PinePhone will not even recognize that someone (users of the PinePhone already know that) tries to charge it from this (as linked) charger USB-C PD3.0 port (or Librem 5 original charger USB-C PD3.0 port).

Thanks!

And, currently 50% off (for testing purpose :face_with_thermometer:) on RP-PC112 that is based on a Weltrend WT6636F USB-C interface controller, certified by the USB-IF USB PD3.0: “However, it lacks PPS support which would otherwise make it a perfect charger.”
