Battery draining with external power while under load?
#7
Yeah that's definitely not normal, mine charges from 20% to 80% in less than 4 hours while using it lightly. If it takes several days to fully charge it when it's turned off then maybe there is something wrong with the power supply you're using?

Are you using the power supply that came with it from Pine64 or a USB-C phone charger? The PineBook Pro needs something capable of delivering 3A at 5V which is quite uncommon. It doesn't use Quick Charge either, I've tried to power it with a QC charger and the voltage was still 5V.

How long does your battery usually last when full?

I'll try to power mine with lower voltages than 5V to see if a how much it affects the current that the PineBook Pro can use to charge.
