One with 20 points would only use a quarter of the electricity.

Came up socket is not overloaded.

I've seen this before and I totally understand the confusion. There is only one way to explain this.
Time clearly is going slower upstairs.

The toilet flushes obviously. 'ks sake, there's some buffons on here
Does it flush slower upstairs ?

Ok, I'm a bottle of Merlot to the good so let me put it like this :
TRY A DIFFERENT CHARGER .
To prove a fault you exclude things one by one; the fact that your tower makes it charge slower *could* be because the phone is in a different position and therefore the cable is kinked in a particular way. I know it sounds odd but it could be...
Alternatively, it could be that the charger doesn't like being plugged in to a surge protected tower as switched mode power supplies change the frequency to reduce the voltage (as opposed to an iron-core transformer).

Is it possible for the toilet flush to be subtle normally? Is the obvious flush only an option in that specific circumstance?
I have to say this is one of the best threads ever. I really must start one on homeopathy one of these days . . . .
BG can you just confirm, in the two charging scenarios, is it the same charger AND the same cable ?
Fast charging of mobile phones is something of a black art and there doesn't appear to be a single way that this is implemented.
Something in the chain that involves the tower is telling the phone it needs to fall back to a slow charge.

We need some repeatable results to test the hypothesis (that electricity is weaker uphill).
I suggest five charges at the downhill location (followed by five complete discharges by non-stop playing snake)
Followed by five charges at the uphill location (discharging in the identical way)
Time the measurements with an abacus.
Once the results are in, calculate the mean, median and mode and publish the findings in Nature.
(this thread can serve as a peer review)

The same charger and cable and plugging in the same everything the same except the time taken to charge the phone. There has to be a reason for this.

The Electrician dad of a friend assured me many years ago that you should always leave plugs in their sockets when appliances are not in use, thus avoiding the electricity running out of the socket into the room and increasing the bill. Whilst clearly this is unwise from a safety aspect I do ensure that all unused sockets have those child safety plugs in them to achieve the same aim. I must have saved hundreds of pounds over the years by doing this.

Sorry to ruin an excellent thread with a serious answer, but I bet there is some sort of power save feature in the tower thingy. The charger draws so little current that the tower is periodically deciding everything is off and is going into some sort of power save mode.
