See only the equipment already plugged into the PC's USB measuring voltage, that was in 5.2 V. It also has a timer that measures how much of current passed and for how long, measurement known as ampere hour (or Milli ampere hour) estimating the carrying capacity of a battery.

If I plug my phone into a source of good quality (a 40W blitzwolf) the chain on to the 1.1, and the battery will charge faster. See my source keeps 5.15 V even with load.

And if you plug in a low-quality cable? Even at the source, This thin cable that I have low charge current to 0.1 and almost does not load anything. EWw!
