Can I use this to connect my Samsung Galaxy S10+ to an external battery?

BEST ANSWER: HI. It depends on the port on your external battery. My external batteries have female usb a ports, so I would need a usb c male to usb a male, not female. I purchased the described item to connect to a male usb a cable. I suggest you look at your battery and see what it needs.

Works for connecting SSD to phone
Works fine for my application. Not sure how it will hold up, will see. I am using it to connect SSD to phone (Samsung S9) for reviewing car's camera footage. So I don't use it that often, rarely. Just there if I need it.
.worked first few times I used it without issue
.seems fairly sturdy
.length could be a bit longer

Sad with my new apple
It's works great! USB to USB-C I'm sad to have to do this to make my app useable with my older (not that old) files.

Excellent adapter; perfect size to carry with a laptop.
The extension cable works perfectly. It's about 5-6 in long, including the connectors, very good for laptop usage. I was able to connect and SSD and a HDD both to my HP X360 laptop, which has only one 3.0A connector. I did not test it for speed, but I did not see any appreciable delays. It was not a good test, however, because I had the HDD, not the SSD, on the side of the adaptor. But it performed as expected. I certainly recommend it.

Google Pixel phone Adapter Cable
I purchased this recently to see if my idea would work. I wondered if my Google Pixel cell phone would recognize a USB thumb drive with this adapter. IT WORKED!! I'm able to view, edit, save, print, email any file on my thumb drive!! I'll probably get a couple more so I have one at home and one at work.

great product
The product looks just like the picture. Sorry, I don't have photo to share, but the reasoning behind the purchase followed a purchase of a new HP PC without a dvd writer, so I have to use my external one. Unfortunately, HP didn't plan enough standard usb ports, so my mouse/keyboard combo took up one, my dvd the other, so now I have a 4 port hub to run the other peripherals, and I was out of accessory options. This adaptor takes care of the mouse, I have the 4 port hub and a spot for my dvd rewriter. Caught me off guard after I set it up, but the adptor solved my problem. Very Happy!
