Does the Moto Z have Quick Charge 2.0/3.0 support?

Re: Does the Moto Z have Quick Charge 2.0 / 3.0 support?

It does support at least QC 2.0. I have tested it on many of my chargers and it is definitely working great.

Could you download Ampere and share the status while charging?

Turbo is its own thing, but it does do QC 2.0 speed charging.

Prior to the Moto Z, TurboPower was just Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0. Are you getting fast charging speeds on the Moto Z using a Quick Charge 2.0 charger?

I can try that software, but yes, I am getting QC 2.0 charging speeds on multiple QC 2.0 chargers I have. Normal ports was going to take 3 hours to charge, then switched to QC 2.0 port and it changed to 33 minutes. Forget the exact percentage the battery was at. This using a usb c to usb 3.0 cable I bought off Amazon.

Normal ports? Like computer USB? Those only put out half an amp, and are terrible for charging in general. If it was a different charger, what was the amperage rating of the charger?

OK, here is the skinny. I've been through a ton of chargers and I've verified these results. With standard USB-A to USB-C chargers, you can get a maximum of 2.4A, which will not trigger the "turbo charging" notification. Moto mod battery packs will charge, but the charging notification for the battery mod may not show it is charging. (It does.) If you have a USB-C to USB-C charger that can deliver 3A or more (I have a Cheotech wall charger that meets this spec) you can get the moto mod battery to show a charge notification properly, and can get a more rapid charge. With the Moto wall wart charger, you can get up to 5.4A charge, which is extremely quick. BTW the car charger is 3A as well, and will trigger the "turbo charging" notification. So if you want a portable rapid charger, look for a 3A USB-C to UB-C charger. The USB-A to C chargers are generally limited to 2.4 A. These will work but are slower and may give misleading charging notifications for battery mods (but they will work).

2.4a is pretty quick, but 5.4a... Wow.

Thanks for the info!

I don't plug my stuff into a computer, no need for that these days. I have multiport chargers that have all or some of their ports that are QC 2.0. Even battery packs with QC ports.

Ok, but what amperage was the charger with the 3hr charge time? Sounds like the phone can draw 2.4a from a non-turbo charger, so if your QC charger is at least 2.4a and the other one was less, that would account for the difference in charge time, while not necessarily supporting the QC standard.

Here's the results from the car charger. It's a 2.0 charger. Battery icon doesn't show as charging at all. But I'm hoping someone can decipher this for me. I truly have no idea what this shows.

But it doesn't seem to be charging my phone at all?

 

[mobrules]

This one shows the supplied charger.

Do you have a Moto Mod installed?

It looks like it's charging normally - no quick/fast charging - but still charging.

What's the output on the charger? You're just drawing standard USB output. Clearly not enough to keep pace with the battery.

KMASHI 2.0 18W Car Quick Charger (12V/1.5A 9V/2A 5V/2A) with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 Technology for Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Note 4 Google Nexus 6 HTC One M8 M9 LG G4

This is the car charger and no I did not have the battery mod installed. Kind of wondering if I need to step up to 3.0 rated chargers?????

The car charger is one I had bought on sale for 5.00 off amazon. While it was connected to the car charger it went from 94% to 91%. It worked great on my turbo. I kind of like to have several chargers around just in case. I had planned to use my 2.0 rated chargers for around the house but they are not seeming to work.

Thank you for any help here. I appreciate it.

I guess I can get the amps for you if you are curious to how QC 2.0 works. Otherwise when I put it in the non QC port, it charges any device as fast as it can (other than QC or or turbo speeds), but when plugged into a QC port, it's super fast.

The charger is charging - the large number up top is the current rate of change for the battery. If it were losing power, everything would be orange, and there would be a negative sign in front of the number. It is kind of odd that it says "charge rate - none", and 590mA is a slow charge, but it's still going in a positive direction.

Here's a screenshot unplugged, using power.

Here's plugged into a QC3 charger:

Here's plugged into the stock turbo charger:

My guess - Quick Charge 2.0 won't charge a Moto Z rapidly.

I'd suggest posting screenshots like mobrules of your Moto Z plugged into the various ports.

If you're getting more than ~1500mA on Ampere (large number up top), I'd be very interested to know exactly what model charger you're using.

..actually - could you drain your battery a bit?

Say down to 50%?
