USB 3.0 cables that have "Ground for signal Return" pin connected can trigger higher voltage, depending on the tech the quick charger uses. Ive seen 15v triggered on an asus transformer charger with such cables and a tester on the other end. Doesnt happen with a 2.0 cables as they dont have the additional pin.
So if using quick charger with non quick charging device, best is to stick to 2.0 cable to be safe.
Or not use a quick charger.
