[MyL5] Battery life and dock

By “shows charging” you mean “red light on”? Makes the little click noise when you plug the phone into the dock? Battery icon (on lock screen and at top right when unlocked) indicates charging? (Should be “all of the above”.)

Exactly, it’s “all of the above”

But if original Librem 5 charger is used to power this hub you still might get max. of 19W on this hub PD2.0 male connector and this might turn out to be better option …, it is worth to be tried

With the Librem 5 charger to power the hub as suggested by Quarnero, I get a positive current number 578321 and the battery indicator is increasing !
The phone is hot but I guess a hub PD3.0 would solve this issue. Thank you all for this useful information.
