USB to USB-C cable - with or without 56k pull up?

[monantony]

I’m confused on the pull up resistors… I charge primarily with Anker battery packs, outlet strip, and car chargers…
N6p and PXL phones…
Should I get a few cables with or without pull up resistors??
Thanks

In general yes you need the 56k resistor, but in many situations you can get away without. Read the guide and FAQ.

If you plug in a device capable of pulling more than the output of the charging port, you risk frying the charger, but that is charger specific. The problem is worse the more powerful is your device.
