I use GSam Battery Monitor ... while charging, it will show a 'predicted' time to full charge. It also shows time left on this charge, time since last full charge and also shows temperature of the device.

There are also graphs and data for Battery use by App, CPU % by App but, since 5.1.1 (or earlier?) it can no longer give details on wakelocks ... I miss that!

External Battery Pack

I'm looking for an external battery pack to turbo charge my MXPE. What has everyone else been using thus far with success?

Re: Can it be possible? A Tronsmart 18W charges a Moto X Pure faster than Motorola TurboCharger 25

Tronsmart's testing says their 18W charger is 13 minutes slower than Motorola's TurboPower 25.

Moto X Style Charging Analysis | Tronsmart

I found out why the Tronsmart charger was a little faster. The Motorola TurboPower 25 cable needs to be wiggle a little bit so it can charge faster.
In theory a 25w charger should be noticeable faster than 18w. Anyways, at the beginning the Motorola TurboPower 25 start charging faster but when you compared charging the phone starting from less than 12% to a full charge then there isn't that much difference. I found it to be around 8 minutes.

Re: 3rd party turbo charging

It should work with the MXPE and provide a quick charge. However, I would expect it to be a bit slower than the 25 watt charger that was included with your phone.

Re: External Battery Pack

I noticed it says that it is incompatible with the Moto X Style/Pure in the details.

So it definitely doesn't shut off without charging after several seconds?

I bought the Tenergy 10400 battery (which appears to be identical to the Aukey 10400.) It shuts off about as soon as the "Turbocharger Connected" message pops up. I'm returning that and hoping there's a quick charge battery that will actually work.

Not with my Moto X.

Here's 20 mins of charging.
