It seems that charging via USB-C is almost as efficient as using an actual charger. The suspend one is weirder: it uses energy as much as a charger can put in the battery. I entered suspend by clicking on the power button and then selecting suspend on the pop up menu. Obviously something is not being properly powered down. This is with the default Debian image.
Hmm... ~20% in 1 hour. I haven't dealt with laptops for quite some time. Does it look a bit slow?
It looks like 3A DC is not enough to power a running machine. My one, even though it's powered by the DC adapter, still drains the battery pretty fast (under heavy load, I must admit). Wonder if having a 4A adapter would help?
