Bellini Power Pack cable query

[Eccles Blue]

Just to be sure that my iPhone 6s didn’t run out of battery before I got to the turnstile I bought a Belkin Power pack which looks great, (matches the colour of my iPhone ;-) ) but the power cable USB-A to USB-C doesn’t appear to fit the iPhone! It is the C end that won’t fit in to the ‘slot’.
Any suggestions please? Is it me?

That cable should be to charge the actual power pack from a USB point. To connect your phone to the power bank use your charging lead for your iPhone (should be able to disconnect the lead from plug)
I think anyway!

Aha I see what you mean now. So I have to carry a (longer) cable with me to charge the phone with the power pack?
Sorry I’m a bit of a DUH with the ‘new’ technology. I started with BBCs and could even write programs for them but this lot baffles me!

Thank you for your help. X

Yes it must be a minimum of 6 mtrs in order for it to work.

*can’t stop chuckling* That’s nearly 20 feet in real measurements! The stewards would be throwing me out all the time. :-)

There is also charging stations dotted about the place apparently which I am planning on charging my phone to it’s max.
Free charging , what’s not to like!

Without actually seeing the powerbank, I'd agree, the USB-A to USB-C is for charging up the powerbank. For an iPhone you need a USB-C to Lightening cable:-

Amazon product ASIN B08NJVXYVN
or

Amazon product ASIN B07XYX3WNY
There's plenty of others if you have a peruse.

Edit: this is presuming it is a USB-C port in the powerbank.

Ooohhh that was the flaming auto correct! I noticed it in the actual message but was so busy making sure no one else had asked a similar question I didn’t spot it in the title!
However a Bellini is my favourite cocktail. So maybe it was subconscious. :-) :-)

Yes it is working perfectly now charging the actual Power bank. Although it was 3/4s charged already when I plugged it in and the lights came on. Thank you for your help. I also bought a little case to carry both it and a cable. All colour coordinated of course!! This season card nonsense is costing us all isn’t it?
Thank you so much for your help. :-)
