And in speculation: USB cables in which the "VCC", power (+5 volt) cable is disconnected (the rightmost when the four pins of the "flat" USB-A plug are facing upwards: in sequence they are "Ground, Data+, Data-, Power"), do not necessarily work - according to specifications, they easily may not.

But Android does have a flag which would disable battery charging (I think, along the lines of `echo 0 > /sys/class/power_supply/usb/device/charge` - not to be confused with other flags that only simulate power disconnection). But that is unavailable.

I think that, while there was discussion here about such cables in the past, nobody has tried them and posted results.
I am a little confused, but it seems like you may know the answer to this question:

Is it possible to use USB peripherals via OTG while simultaneously charging the Max 3? I asked Onyx and they said yes, but I purchased this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07J9...b_b_asin_title and OTG mode worked but doesn't charge the Max3 at the same time
