Nov 4, 2017 at 23:24 comment added George Pearce Hi both - I misspoke in my original message, and meant a USB C pass-through meter. In connecting it to my Macbook, I can see the voltage and amperage running through the meter into the computer. The reason for my looking is because a charger providing less than ideal input will do long term damage to the battery (AFAIK) and it seems no PD charger I buy can provide as much power as the Apple plug can. This leads to the question - what is 'normal' for USB PD running into a laptop?

Nov 4, 2017 at 11:31 comment added Tetsujin Also, are you taking account of the load when taking measurements? Measuring voltage into zero load will tell you nothing, you need to measure parallel to the loaded circuit, which would require access to the internals, or a spliced cable. Sticking your meter into the end of an unloaded socket doesn't do what you think it will do.
Nov 4, 2017 at 10:37 comment added Monomeeth I'm curious - are all these measurements you're quoting taken from the Multimeter you bought, or from something else?
