Proven TURBOcharging chargers & cables

Post up some proven TURBOcharging chargers & cables! Ideally with a screenshot of Ampere showing the charge rate. None of this "it seems pretty quick" stuff, only chargers & cables that show as TURBOcharging! Please try to be specific, preferably with things like Amazon links to the exact item.

For reference, this is using the charger included with the Moto Z Force Droid.

Re: Proven TURBOcharging chargers & cables

Waiting for a screen shot



This is what I get from Aukey 2.0 charger.

And this is what I get from original turbo charger.

Both were using a Belkin cable rated at 3.1 USB. Ry I know it's not turbo charging so if you want to move this to a different thread feel free.

What do you mean by "original turbo charger"? Original to the Droid Turbo?

Yes. I have the original turbo. That's what I upgraded from. I also have 2 Aukey 2.0 chargers. I have a 2.0 car charger but will test that in about an hour.

It's a similar charge rate as I'm seeing from any of my QC2/3 chargers, which is far under the included charger's rate. I'm hoping this thread will become a reference for finding chargers that work in the 5000+ mAh range.

I agree. I'm hoping we can get it figured out. I sent you a pm.

Re: Proven TURBOcharging chargers & cables

I wouldn't count on anything close to 5000 except with the Moto charger. 2500-3000+ is much more likely.

Re: Proven TURBOcharging chargers & cables

Here's the numbers I get with the Verizon branded usb c fast charger. It did pop up saying turbo charging. It's not as fast as the supplied charger but it'll do. It charges good enough to switch over and start charging the battery mod. 1471103509574.jpg

Re: Proven TURBOcharging chargers & cables

Bump for more info. It appears you need to use a USB C to C cable for best results. Is 5V 3A what one should be looking for with a car charger, along with the USB C to C connection?

That is my understanding.

Seeing Charging Rate at "Turbo" vs. "Normal" on Ampere may be enough for me (if I'm not below 60% when testing).

I bought the Samsung car fast charger at VZW - they told me it would fast charge the Z. Well it doesn't. It charges at the same rate as my Aukey QC 2.0 car charger - and it costs a lot more.
