Extra long charging cable. I have 3 glorious metres, I can charge it when in bed, on the sofa, wherever!

Does it feel like charging is slower with that cable?

With that length, depending on the copper wire diameter, you will get significantly less power to your devices.

At 5m or more most 5V decices would probably completely stop charging because the voltage at the end drops below 4V.

I honestly haven't noticed it doing that but I've never tried timing it or anything
