No, chargers these days often have a "signal" on the D+ and D-
conductors as well, from a voltage divider in the charger.

However, it is probably fine to short them out to ground or 5V if you
want to avoid the rework to remove bridges you "added".

The signal is a voltage that represents advice on maximum current
draw.

Handy to know for charging modern things from unconventional sources.
