A well known brand for providing charging solutions for mobile devices, Anker has released the Anker PowerPort+ 5 USB-C with USB Power Delivery for USB Power Delivery enabled products like the LG gram Touch 15" Laptop (2016). Let's see how well the Anker PowerPort+ 5 USB-C with USB Power Delivery charges the LG gram Touch 15" Laptop (2016) over its USB Type-C port that supports USB 3.1 Gen 1, USB Power Delivery, and DisplayPort. 

The Anker PowerPort+ 5 USB-C with USB Power Delivery starts communicating with the LG gram Touch 15" Laptop (2016) over USB Power Delivery by declaring its source capabilities of 15 watts (5 volts @ 3 amps), 27 watts (9 volts @ 3 amps), and 45 watts (15 volts @ 3 amps). The LG gram Touch 15" Laptop (2016) then requests to pull only 0.5 watts (5 volts @ 0.1 amps) which the charger accepts.

Later on the Anker PowerPort+ 5 USB-C with USB Power Delivery declares that it supports not only the 15 watts (5 volts @ 3 amps), 27 watts (9 volts @ 3 amps), and 45 watts (15 volts @ 3 amps) it initially declared but also an additional power profile of 45 watts (20 volts @ 2.25 amps). The LG gram Touch 15" Laptop (2016) then requests to pull 40 watts (20 volts @ 2 amps) which is accepted by the charger.

While the LG gram Touch 15" Laptop (2016)'s battery is already well charged, we can see that the PC initially pulls around 20 watts (20 volts @ 1 amps) but for some reason stops pulling current after a while.
