Will the "Nest Cam (battery) Weatherproof Cable act as a fast charger(at least 45watt)? It is not possible to get fast charging with the supplied cable since it requires a charger connection utilizing a USB-A connection. Why do the new Nest cams not come with a USB-C cable connection?
p.s. no issue category describes my question??

Hi @OriginalPolo,
Thanks for posting! I see you have some inquiries about the fast charge for your Nest Cam Battery and why the cameras don't come with a USB-C connection. Let me share some relevant information with you.
Our cameras are designed to receive 3.65V during the charging period. For this reason, we don't recommend using any other cable, as our power cables are specifically designed to provide this energy. However, if you plan to use a Weatherproof Cable, please consider that the device needs to operate as an outdoor unit.
Regarding why they have a USB-A connection and not a USB-C one: We value customer input. You can share your opinion on our feedback form by clicking the highlighted text.
Please let me know if you have more questions; I'll gladly assist you.
Best regards,
Debora

Thanks for the reply. I understand why the cable and the connection on the camera itself is not USB. I'm referring to the USB end of the camera cable which inserts into the wall charger being USB-a. Google does not have a fast charging wall charger that connects to a USB-a cable. Thank you.
