It's worth buying the expensive Anker cables / adaptors to protect far more expensive equipment from pervasive incompetence.

USB C cables from random manufacturers are downright dangerous. The Google employee reviewing the cables had their laptop fried.

Chargers and batteries are even worse than the cables. NEVER use them if they're not from the hardware OEM or a sane company.

Bonus: there are lots of counterfeits. Amazon happily sells lots of counterfeits and refurbished stuff as new via third parties.

I've been happy with everything I've gotten from @monoprice so I ordered a few spares from them.
