You oughta know if you're designing battery packs. I'm going to step it down to charge my 1S battery at 50A.

Don't you love everything about the way technology is progressing? Can you imagine it getting better?
 
good quality USB C connectors/cables supports up to 5A current transport.
The only way to send a lot of energy in a limited current transport system, is to increase volts..
doin some math. the 240W standard uses tha tecniqe of increasing volts to send more watts. 48Vx5A = 240W

soo it could be easy increased to 100V w some extra cable insulation, I guess.. 100x5= 500W or
1000V times 5A equals 5000W

similar to power energy transport powerlines. energy is sent at 400kV or up to 1million volts to supply a entire city with just a few AWG cable. last step is a good step down circuit/transformer

and about wireless energy? as thought by NicolasT
Imagine having ebike w antenna (car shark radio antenna) that captures wireless energy, continous chargin tha battery, never more connect a ebike to a charger! (make sure U are at a open free space to receive more wireless signal, to get those air chargin amps..) :unsure:
