Hello Guys n Gals...
I friend of mine has lost his original Nexus S charger few weeks ago and now has managed to get his hands on another genuine Samsung charger but with a different volt and ampere rating.
As far as I know, ampere rating affects the charging time but I'm not sure how does volt rating affect the battery.
Original charger: ETA0U60JBE Output: 5.0V / 0.7A
Replacement: ETA3U30UBE Output: 4.7V / 0.55A
Is it safe to use this replacement one? Beside having just a long recharge time because of lower ampere, what other effect can the voltage difference make?
Thanks for your help in advance.
As long as its lower, its fine.
is getting a replacement charger that difficult for him ? online ?

I bought my G2X used and it didn't come with an AC charger. I've been using another charger I have from a LG phone (STA-U12WD) that is 5.1V and 0.7A. Was looking for a replacement and I read on an Amazon review that the original charger is a STA-U13WV 4.8V and 1A.
Can someone check their charger for me? Thanks.
You'll want both a high amperage and high voltage. Look for a 5 volt (or 5.1) and 1 amp charger.
Think of it like a water hose. Voltage is the pressure, amperage is the width of the hose. So higher width and higher pressure gets the most water. Also note that lowering the width of the hose increases the pressure.

hey redmonke, do you own the original charger? Can you check the model #?
and if you recommend a charger with higher amperage or voltage what are the limits?

I have the original charger that came with my T-Mobile G2x:
Model #: STA-U13WV, Output 4.8v, 1.0a
In my car I use a 5 volt 2 amp charger (though I'm not sure if it's 5 volt split across 2 outputs or if it's for one output, I'll need to test when I get back from university) . Look for 5 volt 1 amp on Amazon with good reviews.
I currently use a cheap 5 volt 700mA charger and it's alright, though it's not the fastest.

thanks man!
I use an apple charger. I also have a charger that can charge a battery and has a USB output of 5.2v @ 800Mah. I'm a little concerned of the 5.2v, I don't want to use it and 6 months later my phone stops charging or worse.
Last year when I bought the Note 2 and saw it used a faster charger than my previous phone and had such a gigantic battery, I bought a lot of 2.1A chargers to replace my older 1A chargers.
Now that I got a Nexus 5, I'm wondering if the 2.1A chargers will either :
*Charge Faster? (if anyone has tested it, how much faster)
*Cap out and only charge as fast as the device permits?
*Damage the device because the phone cant regulate that charge speed?
anyone?

The new battery`s limit the input by a charger to a acceptable level, you don`t have to worry regarding damage to the battery or phone due to a too high input (overcharging).
Any device made in the past few years will only draw as much as they're capable of using. Keep in mind that USB chargers are rated as a MAXIMUM, not as a constant. They CAN put out 2.1 amps, does not mean they MUST.
Hello everyone,
So I have been trying to find the answer to what I am wondering but to no avail. I know that when using a charger that did not come with the phone it needs to have to same voltage to not hurt the battery, but I am unsure of the amps. I know for normal powering of things the charger needs to supply the same amount of amps or higher so that the item can pull enough power from the charger. However, phones do not need a certain amps to be powered by the charger. So I want to know if I can use any changer that has 5 volts, but varying amps. This is because I read that if you use a charger with lower amps it is better for the battery as it is not charging as fast increasing the life span of the battery, is this true?
Example: I have a LG G2 which uses a charger with 5V and 1.8A , but I want to use my nexus wireless charger that is 5V and 1.2A
Thanks for any assistance!
Got my new moto g yesterday and its damn good but the thing that frustrates me is the charging, I got a charger with 550mA output and it takes about 4 hours to charge from scratch. I am thinking to buy a new charger and read somewhere that the max cap is of a 1.5A power supply, I need to know how much power supply should I have for maximum battery years. Should it be 1.5A or my current charger or something in between like 1200mA. Thanks in advance.
It really depends on the electronics circuit inside the moto g and also on the one in the battery.Motorola says max recommended is 1,5Ah.I`m using an HTC charger (the old ones) with 1Ah / 5V rating , its charging it for about 2hrs.Also tried with Sony 880 charger (1,5Ah, and it took ~1hr and 30 min.But what I can tell you is that if the charger is high quality one, they all follow the 2( 3 ) step charging in a nice parabola.
If I were you , I would have gotten something with higher amps, like at least 0,9-1,2 at least, cos waiting 4hrs for it to charge is a pain, otherwise it wont be a problem for the batter at all.

A slow charge is likely to be best for overall battery longevity so as a balance I'd go for something around the 1amp mark. I use a .75a Blackberry Charger - takes 3hrs to fully charge from empty.
I've seen on different post , many said it can charge max 1.5 A. or 1500mAh .
but i'm not getting that charging rate , tried out different 1.5 A. and 2.1 A. charger. on Stock Rom/Custom Rom/Kitkat rom.... nowhere.
I've found max rate on
Amphere: 930mAh
Battery (apps): 1120 mAh.
plz post here charging rate of ur one.
**sorry for my english
Plz reply this post buddies..... i need info cause my MOTO G Takes maximum 1100 mAh or 1.1 A...

I have tried many chargers , currently using a 2.1A charger - full charge in 1 hour.
I think amperage of falcon is around ~1.5A
Apart from the charger the quality (esp. thickness) of the cable also matters. I have used bad quality thin cables with 2.1A charger and it takes more than 5 hours to charge - so I bought a high quality charging cable

have u measure current with any app??
ok thanks for ur thought. um now testing with various cable.
is there any patch or tweak to charge about 1500mAh??
plz share screenshot or max charging rate of ur's. cause its hard to believe our Falcon can take 1.5A current flow.
