I own the Moto Z that came with Motorola 15w Turbo Charger (the grey turbo writing on the USB-C end, it's also the All-in-one charger too) but I wanted a substitute incase anything were to happen to it so
I purchased a bunch of USB-C to USB-A Cables, I also purchased two quick chargers. The first being the:
Tronsmart Rapid Wall Charger QC 3.0 18W, which is supposed to output 3.6V-6.5V/3A, 6.5V-9V/2A, 9V-12V/1.5A. And the second, the:
Motorola Turbo Charger QC 2.0 15W, which outputs Standard: 5V / 1.67A (8W) TurboPower 1: 9V / 1.67A (15W) TurboPower 2: 12V / 1.2A (15W)
Neither of these two chargers managed to trigger the "TurboPower Connected" pop up, I also downloaded Ampere and did some tests on them, but they show that the amperage caps at 1500mAh. Is there a reason for this and also could somebody suggest a guaranteed substitute charger that triggers the pop up?

Are you using a Motorola turbo charge brick? Like the one in the box with the Nexus 6. If not then there's your issue. You can only acquire turbo charging speed through one of those and it'll turbo charge your phone through any USB cable since the cable is only a vessel used to flow voltage. Hope this helps!

I have the first turbo charger (QC2) and it didn't work on my Moto Z. I think that Z isn't compatible with Qualcomm Quick Charge technology; Moto probably uses USB-C capabilities for the Turbo Charge.

Thank you for your response, I found out that using a fast charger that has a USB-C output on the charger, triggers the TurboPower Charge. So you would need a USB-C to USB-C cable with an Output Fast Charger of USB-C, as the charging current is higher.

If you can get to a Verizon Wireless store or just want to hit them up on their website, the TurboPower 30 is currently on sale for $19.

Replacement turbo charger
Hey derdjango, did you order and test this charger? Is it original or at least compareable to the stock charger?
Location is China - maybe this is a fake/replica.
Thanks!
Same charger for even less: http://www.ebay.de/itm/152549160402 / http://www.ebay.com/itm/152549160402
Ordered one today. In a month or so I can give you guys feedback.
Hey Weirdos,
left replacement, right out of the box charger (EU).
TurboPower connected :good:
USB-C charging cable supports 3A current while normal micro USB charging cable only supports 1.8A current, so you need an Original Data/Charging USB-C cable.
I lost my turbo charger and yesterday i charged Moto Z with the original charger from my Zuk z1. And guess what...turbo charging enabled. Then i tried the Zuk Z2 charger and it also turbo charges. I know that Zuk and Moto are both Lenovo, but i did not expect it to work with a charger from 2015.
Maybe comes handy if someone has those lying around. I pressume chargers from Zuk Edge and 2 Pro should also be turbocharging the Z
Does turbo charging require anything special?
Or are these normal chargers with 3A/USB C?

Charger with hardwired USB C cable or charger with USB C port with an USB C to C cable. And rated for 3A. As far as I know that would be the things needed.

Is charging Moto by old chargers unrecommended (1A, 5V)? I've read, that fast charging kills our batteries faster than normal
Has anyone been able to quickly charge with the incipio dock? I have an aukey 3.0 quick charger but it never pops up with the turbopower notification. When I use the charger by itself, it does however.
I believe the Moto Z supports the USB Power Delivery standard which is the standard USB standard for USB-C. I do not think it supports the Quick Charge standard.
I have the original charger supplied with the device (usb-c wall charger) which supports turbo charge 3.0. It charges both the phone and the incipio power pack at the same time rather quickly.
Found the following in one of the Lenovo moto z forums, which indicates it does not support quick charge:
"Moto Z uses TurboPower™ a Motorola technology which supports the standard for Type C USB. USB-C does not support QC charging, but TurboPower™ delivers high charging rates via USB-C. Using the provided charger, Moto Z Droid can receive eight hours of charge in 15 minutes; Moto Z Droid Force can receive five hours charge in just five minutes.
You can use QC chargers with the Moto Z Droids but for optimal charging speed the Motorola supplied inbox charger will provide the fastest charging times."
Should have my phone arrive Wednesday from Amazon. Being in the UK I needed to sort a 3 pin plug and so have purchased an Anker 18w fast charger.
Anker Fast Charger, USB Charger 18W USB Wall Charger PowerPort+ 1 for Galaxy S8/S7/S6/Edge/Plus, Note 4/5, LG G4, Sony Xperia XZ, Nexus 6, iPhone and More[Black] https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B017VXARME/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_.dDvBbXP47Z9E
I have since notices however that the braided cable supplied with the phone is type c to type c.
Do I need to use the supplied cable to get fast charging (I'm which case Anker charger no good) or can I just get any other cable to use with my new charger?
You will not get the 27 Watts the phone is capable of using. You will get 10, 12, or 15 Watts, I'm not sure which. This will get you charged in about 2 hours.
If you want the fastest charge (with caveats listed below) you need a USB PD (power delivery) charger which can only use type C both sides.
Note that the Essential phone doesn't charge at full power the whole time. I usually get about 50% charge in less than half an hour, then it slows as the charge level increases. Zero to 100 in a little under 2 hours. This is great if you need a top up to get thru the day.
Hello I've damaged my charger for my 10t lite 5G. I contacted support and they told me the original 33w UK charger isn't available until the end of 2021. Currently I'm using my Samsung Tab 7 charger and it supports fast charge. However, I would like to buy a wall charger that supports mi turbo charge can anyone recommend one please? I assume it's a QC4+ ?
Thanks
From reports around Xda, the top you can get with none xiaomi charger and cable is 27 w. You can only get turbo charge with the original charger and cable. Xiaomi did some changes to the PD design to get the 33w charge.
So, when it is about charging, this Galaxy S21+ (Exynos) can be really choosy. With a lot of chargers, it difficulty reach 1.3A. Only few of the selected chargers (my Lenovo 65Watt laptop charger, IKEA 27Watt charger) it could reach 2A charging with wired. For wireless charging, it's even worse. Currently I owned 3 wireless chargers.
1. Energizer 15Watt charger. Never even shows Fast Wireless Charging.
2. Samsung EB-U1200 Wireless Charging Power Bank. This one shows Fast Wireless charging. It could charge up to 2A for a while and then once the battery temp hits about 39C (and it hits there within 5 mins), it throttles.
3. Huawei SuperCharge 27Watt Wireless Charger (with Huawei 22.5Watt SuperCharge Charger and 5A cable), performs same as Samsung Power Bank. Reaches up to 2A, then battery heats up and throttles.
I've tried different ways, including removing the phone case while charging but result is still the same. Does any of you have similar experience? or is it just my phone? Please advise me how to make wireless charging more efficient.
I've not tried wireless charging however for wired you need a charger that supports USB C PD PPS (this is a fairly new standard) and without this you won't get anything more than about 2A.
This Ravpower charger for £16 (£13 with current voucher code) works a treat hitting 4.6A when the battery is empty reducing as the battery becomes full. You have to use USB C to USB C to achieve this.

My guess is there will be a similar standard for wireless charging that you need to adhere to.
