docking bar limits charging rate?

[nelstomlinson]

On my Post Market Edition (Convergent model)  Running a recent Mobian Nightly running from an sd card.

When using the docking bar :

My charge 'limit' goes up to 2.0 amps,  from the 1.5 limit that it shows when the charger is connected directly to the phone.

Have you tried comparing different chargers ?

Last year with the same hardware,  I ran the battery almost dead,  the phone shut down.
Then it would only charge at 0.5 amps (several hours)  when it finally got above 10%  it started charging normally again.

I'm seeing the same thing with a Motorola charger which claims 3A at 5V: it will show a 1.5A limit when connected directly, 2A when connected through the docking bar.
