It’s a standard USB Type C and USB Type A that you can buy a lot of places. Here’s one from NewEgg:

And there are many on Amazon as well :slight_smile:. Just make sure one side is USB-C and other is regular USB (USB-A)

If you have a micro-USB cord (or more, if you’re like me and still have a phone using it) hanging around, there are also micro-USB to USB-C adapters too instead of tossing them out. Just make sure it supports OTG (On-The-Go) if you want to transfer files to a computer.

it is bad to use a usb-c to usb-c cord to charge?

USB-C to USB-C cords will be fine (no difference in charging). Reason I suggested USB-A (regular USB port) to USB-C is because our included charger has the USB-A port.

Ok great. I just wanted to double check cause I’ve used a usb-c to usb-c before.

Just curious, do you know if there is any change in charging speed with a fast charger compared to the stock charger? I feel like the stock one does a good job time wise but was curious.

Teracube uses 10W charging (upto 5V,2A) which the stock charger is designed to provide. Any higher power charger (example 15W or 18W) will not charge it faster.

You can use Acubattery (or other similar apps) to view charging current.

ps: Somewhat related. Most smartphones draw the max current (2A for Teracube) upto a certain battery level (approx 80%) and slow down after that to preserve lithium batteries.
