The Motorola Moto G6 supports not only USB Power Delivery 2.0 technology but also Motorola’s own TurboPower brand of rapid charging over USB Type-C. Since TurboPower technology has been assumed to also get along with Qualcomm Quick Charge technology, here we find out how it works between the Motorola Moto G6 and a Qualcomm Quick Charge 3 based charger using the Ventev Wallport rq2300 Wall Charger.

When the Motorola Moto G6 was connected on a fully drained battery to one of the USB Type-A ports of the Ventev charger that supports Qualcomm Quick Charge, we never observed any stable current over a 5 volts rail. Each time when reaching 0.5 amps, the charger automatically reset thus restarting the charging sequencing. In between, the phone was not really able to pull current from the charger resulting in no proper charging.  

The Motorola Moto G6 unfortunately doesn’t seem to work well over Qualcomm Quick Charge with the Ventev Wallport rq2300 Wall Charger. Click here to download the trace captured by the GRL-A1 power analyzer to see more details. However, the phone was able to charge fine with its own TurboPower  charger in under 110 minutes from zero to full charge as observed here.
