Charging slow while phone says rapidly

[swa100]

Hey all,

A few days ago I've bought a secondhand nexus 6p. Overall I'm quite happy with the device, but I think I'm experiencing some charging issues.

The max USB current in Ampere never gets over 1800 mAH (while my mom's nexus 5x shows max USB current 3000 mAH with my charger) Also, I've never seen it charging with higher power then around 1400-1500 mAH.

I've tried my mom's nexus 5x charger, but I'm getting the same results. My phone actually charges faster with a regular 2 amp charger with a regular USB cable to USB c..

Also, while I'm doing nothing but having the ampere app open it discharges with - 1100 mAH. Is that normal?

Here are some screenshots:

What are your thoughts?

By the way: eve when the battery is down to 22% it doesn't charge faster..

Are you using the stock 6p charger and cable?

In my experience, Ampere does not work properly with the Nexus 6P. For me, it always shows Max USB curr 1800 mA and current in the 2100 mA range when using USB-C, even though I can see on my Kill A Watt that it is drawing 13 watts or more.

regardless of what the apps say, how long does it actually take (elapsed time) to charge your phone?
