Hi all,
Like @TechnicallyWell, my name is Ryan and I’m a metering addict.
Today I’m going to compare three products and relative power uptake on their native charging setups. First of all, iPhone 6s on an Apple-made iPad pro charger (rated 12w, or 5.4V/2.4A) at 77% charging fairly slowly (
Same iPhone 6s on the same setup at 68% charging substantially faster:
Takeaway: Apple’s trickle charge is real and quite dramatic, as @nigelhealy and others have noted.
Next up, iPad Air 2 at 65% on the same charger as above, charging very quickly:
Takeaway: iPad Air 2 charges more quickly than iPhone, but substantially larger battery probably still results in similar chargin time.
Finally, my new moto Z2 Force edition (my first android phone), on the Moto Turbo Charger that it shipped with, outperforming them all:
Obviously, that’s over 12W. I don’t have an Anker battery that could provide that kind of charge to my knowledge.
However, something weird is going on with the Turbo Charge setup, because even though it tops out higher than anything else, it jumps all over the place. Have a look:
Does anyone have an idea of what would create such a volatile connection? I’m just learning about power delivery, so I’m curious if anyone has insight on that or has seen it on a consumer device before.
