The way I understand (or misunderstand) it is that USB-C charging will be always capped at 2.4 amps (5v) because there is no "PD" capability on the PBP and for USB to output more it will need the Qualcom PD chip signal. For me 2.4 amps works fine, all my existing battery pack phone chargers work well on the PBP and charge it as fast (or slow) as my fancy a/c USB-C high power wall charger. If you want to charge at the blistering rate of 3 amps then just use the supplied charger. No need to spend lots of money on the high power USB-C chargers just for the PBP. BTW: to me the 15watt spec of the PBP was/is the most attractive feature, love this thing!
