Batteries on a plane

Batteries on a plane.

Just a question for the experts. With the new rules of not being able to use your battery on the plane i was wondering is it faster to charge my phone/ipad , using the USB port or is it better to bring a charger and use the power point provided?
Also would you use one of the higher capacity cables or it not relevant.

I tend to use flightradar 24 too much when flying and have an old phone

I only heard about the new rule when I was on a flight two days ago, dont recall having that flying last month.

Luckily my laptop charger is a USB type C so I was able to charge my phone using that (was on Y+)

I always use the USB port for my iPhone. It is slow but basically has the same charge when I deplane as on boarding. recently using it for most of the flight.

Faster using the power point and plug in Charger.

Ive used both

USB to phone - enough to charge to 100% fairly quickly
120V power point charge to 100%.

I have not noticed the difference, probably quicker than USB.

Take your pick.
