"Is this 20W charger enough for my 45W tablet?" "My USB-C cable doesn't fast charge." "I bought Lightning even though my phone is USB-C." Three tickets where poorly explained charger/cable compatibility blocks conversion and generates returns.
The e-commerce charger and cable compatibility support covers PD wattage, USB-C/Lightning port type, data/charging cables, fast charging, and pre-purchase recommendations. Completes #350 accessories: here, standards charge cable device map not case parent model.
This guide #615 covers policy CHRGCBL-SUP, flow CC-1 to CC-8, and matrix CHRGCBL-MAP. New technical charge compatibility vertical. Pairs with the future customer service bot CHRGCBL (#616).
Summary
Why do chargers and cables generate customer support tickets?
The customer hesitates between a 20 W and 65 W charger, confuses USB-C charging and USB-C data only, or buys the wrong connector. Without a port wattage map, the agent says "it should work" and causes a return or disappointment with slow charging.
Five typical charger cable frictions
Insufficient wattage: 18 W charger for 45 W max tablet
Incompatible port: Lightning purchased for USB-C device
Charge-only cable: no data sync, no PD
Slow charging: PD not supported, under-spec cable
Wrong post-order purchase: return of incompatible accessory
The EU common charger directive USB-C harmonizes ports on affected devices, but wattage and PD cable remain variable depending on the device (EU Commission, common charger 2026). Without CHRGCBL-MAP, agents recommend wattage or port out of device specs.
CHRGCBL #615 vs accessory #350, LITHBAT #613, product and bot compatibility #616
Five pieces of content, five distinct compatibility angles.
Quick matrix
#615 CHRGCBL: charger cable wattage port PD standards pre-purchase
Accessory #350: case filter parent model compatible_models
LITHBAT #613: integrated battery product charger_spec runtime
Product compat: transverse compatibility matrix pre-purchase
#616 CHRGCBLbot: tier 1 bot to avoid charger purchase error
#350 = accessory fit model. #615 = wattage port cable charge standards map.

Essential CHRGCBL macros
Four macro agents charger cable compatibility.
CHRGCBL-COMPAT-01
"Device [device SKU]: port [port_type map] min [min_watts_required] W max [max_watts_pd] W. Accessory [accessory SKU]: [compatible / partial / incompatible depending on map]. [If incompatible: [incompatible_warning map].] [If compatible: charge [normal / fast PD depending on fast_charge_protocol].]"
CHRGCBL-WATT-01
"[Device SKU] requires minimum [min_watts_required] W for normal charging, max [max_watts_pd] W PD. Charger [customer W]: [sufficient / under-dimensioned / OK not max charge]. Recommended: [official_recommended_sku map]."
CHRGCBL-RECOMMEND-01
"For [device SKU]: recommended charger [official_recommended_sku map] [max_watts_pd W port_type]. Cable: [cable_spec map if applicable]. [customer_copy map.] Link: [PDP URL]."
CHRGCBL-WRONG-01
"Accessory [accessory SKU] [incompatible / wrong port depending on map] for [device SKU]. [incompatible_warning map.] [If return eligible: accessory return policy.] Alternative: [official_recommended_sku]."
Edge cases: integrated battery, accessory case, return, and multi-device
Five cases excluding standard cable charger macro.
Integrated battery product: LITHBAT-REROUTE #613 charger_spec distinct accessory
Filter case model: ACC350-REROUTE #350 compatible_models distinct port
Wrong accessory return: accessory return policy CHRGCBL-WRONG-01
Multi-port hub: chrgcbl_multi_device compatible_devices list map
Qi wireless charging: CHRGCBL-MAP row wireless if distinct USB range
Powerbank charge spec device u2192 #613. Mains charger cable accessory u2192 #615 CHRGCBL-MAP.
Essential billable KPIs
Five CHRGCBL steering metrics.
chrgcbl_ticket_rate: chrgcbl_* tickets / device accessory sales
chrgcbl_compat_explain_rate: resolved port wattage macro only
chrgcbl_wrong_purchase_rate: incompatible accessory return / total chrgcbl
chrgcbl_recommend_convert_rate: recommend_buy → official SKU purchase
chrgcbl_wattage_violations: recommended watts outside audit map target 0
