Wahoo Elemnt Bolt V2
Why can't the Element Bolt v2, which does have a USB-C connector, be charged with a pure USB-C cable? It can only be charged if the counterpart is a normal USB plug. This means that the joke of standardising on USB-C connections is completely lost. Too bad!
I charge my Wahoo with my Pixel4a charger and cable that has the USB-C connector at both ends. Works flawlessly.
I also charge from c to c, but I have exactly one cable at home that works. I got it from a powerbank. Would be interested in another cable in case I lose it, charge the wahoo on the road on very long trips. I think the power of the c on c cable must not be too high, so actually a "bad" cable. But it's a joke that a normal c to c doesn't work.
Then you can more than others or have not yet noticed that it does not charge at all: Official response from wahoo today 30.08.2022: " At this time , USB-C to USB-C charging is not supported".
I charge with a cable that has a USB-C plug at both ends. It works without any problems.
