The AUKEY PA-T8 10-Port USB Charging Station has a total of ten USB Type-A ports, two of which are orange and support Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 and the rest being green which support AUKEY's own branded AiPower charging.   

Like the AUKEY PA-T16 Dual-Port USB Wall Charger and the AUKEY CC-T7 Car Charger, the AUKEY PA-T8 10-Port USB Charging Station's orange USB Type-A ports uses Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 to support the following power profiles: 6-6.5 volts @ 3 amps, 6.5-9 volts @ 2 amps, 9-12 volts @ 1.5 amps.

While charging the battery at 0% charge, we can observe from the oscilloscope screenshot that voltage is 7.94V and maximum current is 2.59A. 

With the battery at 25% charge, we can see from the oscilloscope screenshot that voltage is 8.59V and maximum current is 2.56A

When the battery is at 50% charge, we can observe from the oscilloscope screenshot that voltage is 5.95V and maximum current is 2.83A

Here is the oscilloscope screen shot with the battery at 75% charge which shows the voltage as 5.98V and maximum current is 2.31A

You can see below screenshot that the Le Max 2 is drawing less than 1 amp when the battery is fully charged. 

The following graph shows how the Le Max 2 draws different current levels as the battery charges from zero to 100%. Until 80% charge, the AUKEY PA-T8 10-Port USB Charging Station is providing about 21.9 watts to the Le Max 2 with it's Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 port.

The Le Max 2 takes around 1 hour 20 minutes to charge completely while the phone is powered on with the  AUKEY PA-T8 10-Port USB Charging Station 's Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 port.

  

Now, using the green AiPower port, let's see how the charging behavior changes with the Le Max 2.

The following graph shows how the Le Max 2 draws different current levels as the battery charges from zero to full.  The AiPower port provides about 9 watts for charging the Le Max 2 while the battery is less than 80%, which is a lot less than the 14-15.1 watts observed when using the orange Quick Charge port.

With less power provided, the Le Max 2 takes around 2 hours to charge completely while the phone is charged with the AiPower adaptive charging port compared to the 1 hour 20 minutes observed when charging using the orange Qualcomm Quick Charge port.

  

As expected the orange Qualcomm Quick Charge port charges the Le Max 2 much faster when compared to using the green AiPower port of the  AUKEY PA-T8 10-Port USB Charging Station.  Of course, if the Qualcomm Quick Charge port is being used to charge another Qualcomm Quick Charge compatible phone, you can still use the other port to charge your Le Max 2.
