The results below are the average of two tests for both the Aukey 60W charger and Apple 87W charger.Īs you can see, the 87W charger filled up my 15-inch MacBook Pro battery more quickly than the 60W charger, but not by very much. As shown below, in my testing, even the 87W Apple charger and original Apple USB-C cable didn’t output over 60W. This power meter is limited to measuring up to 65W, but it was only used to spot check output. I used Satechi’s USB-C Power Meter to measure output and started the clock with the battery at 10% for all tests. That includes eleven open apps, Safari with 4-6 tabs open at a time, TweetDeck with streaming on, and brightness set to 75%.



Because charging times aren’t as important when you’re not using your MacBook, all tests were done during normal work days here at 9to5Mac on my 2016 15-inch MacBook Pro running macOS High Sierra.
