The HTC 10 supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 over USB Type-C. Let's see how well it works with other Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 charger like the AUKEY PA-T16 Dual-Port USB Wall Charger.

The AUKEY PA-T16 Dual-Port USB Wall Charger is one of the first chargers in the market that supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0.  It's designed to be a wall charger and can support charging 2 devices at the same time by plugging them into its 2 USB Type-A ports.

Both USB Type-A ports support Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 which allows Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 enabled phones to rapidly charge using these power profiles: 6-6.5 volts @ 3 amps, 6.5-9 volts @ 2 amps, 9-12 volts @ 1.5 amps.

Here we have monitored the current and voltage levels at different stages of battery charging by using a current probe and oscilloscope. 

While charging with the battery at 0% charge, we can observe from the oscilloscope screenshot that voltage is 8.95V and maximum current is 1.54A (providing total power of 13.8W).  This is similar to what we saw with the HTC 10 being charged by the LG G5 Quick Charge 3.0 charger where more power is drawn compared to using HTC 10's own Quick Charge 3.0 charger.

With the battery at 25% charge, we can see from the oscilloscope screenshot that voltage is 8.95V and maximum current has decreased to 1.35A

When the battery is at 50% charge, we can see in oscilloscope screenshot that voltage is 8.88V and maximum current has decreased to 1.31A

Here is the oscilloscope screen shot with the battery at 75% charge which shows the voltage as 8.88V and maximum current as 1.19A.

As the battery charges from 95% to 100%, we can see that the current drawn by the HTC 10 drops to around 200mA.

The screenshot below shows the voltage and current when the battery is fully charged. 

After charging the battery completely, we can observe that it is consuming a current of 200mA as the Android OS and background applications are active.  If we switch off the phone, it doesn't consume any significant current (<100mA) when the battery is at full charge.

The following graph shows how the HTC 10 draws different current levels as the battery charges from zero to full.

The HTC 10 takes around 1 hour 40 minutes to charge completely while the phone is powered on with the AUKEY PA-T16 Dual-Port USB Wall Charger.
