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.

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 ?

hello
My stock charger is us for galaxy s4 (samsung regular charger)
and then I found this (link above) with 2.1A
is it matter charging via 2.1A and not 2A? what is the different? it will charge faster/slower?
thanks
In Stock kernel there is current limit 1.9A. So everything above it, will be the same as 1.9A.
In reality, you will find that even 2.1A charger doesn't supply even 1.9A. Chinese charges definitely don't supply current thay claim. And beware of them - you may fry your device by such cheap charger.
Also, it heavily depends on USB cable as well. It has to be very short and very thick.
I have a Mediabridge car adapter that has a 2.1 amp charger on it. When I charge my S4 with it it barely charges faster than the 1 amp charger does. I think it charges at either 1.3 or 1.7 amps, sorry can't remember exactly.

How do you measure the exact amperage that it charges at?

I don't have the equipment to measure it exactly. So what I did was charge my phone from 50% for 40 minutes on my stock Samsung wall charger and then recorder the percentage it increased. I then took that number and assumed it was charging at 2 amps and used it as a baseline. Then I did the same test with my car adapter and recorded the results. The I figured out the percentage difference and came up with me estimates. I just don't have the data in front of me anymore but I remembered it being somewhere between 1.3 or 1.7.

The stock charger is fast at charging this phone. On my s3 it took forever . I would stick with stock

Chargers, power supplies, etc, don't "decide" the amps that go to a device - the device "draws" a certain amount. Just because a lamp is plugged into a 20amp circuit in your home doesn't mean 20 amps are going to be shoved through the bulb.
So if, as sorg says, the phone is only going to "ask" for 1.9a, you could plug it into a 5 amp charger and it would make no difference.

You already got your answer above.
No, your phone will NEVER charge faster than 1900 until a developer comes along and figures out how to hack the system to allow this. And it would be a potentiallly STUPID idea to charge faster than Samsung has deemed safe.
Go here to find out how to test your charging rate:

I can't remember where I read this on Motorola's website, but I seem to recall
something about charging the Moto G using USB chargers under 1.5A.
All of my chargers are 2.0A or higher. (all were original chargers from
my four Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and 3 phones, as well as tablets)
is it really unsafe to charge the Moto G with 2.0A USB chargers?
You are fine to use any amperage you want. The charging chip determines the amperage it pulls. The only danger to electronics is the wrong voltage, not amperage.

that's what I figured, but why does Motorola feel the need to
say "up to 1.5A"??? (in fact, I don't think I have ever seen
1.5A chargers... they are usually 0.5, 0.7, 1.0A, or 2.0A.
Because they are letting you know the maximum rate at which it can charge. It's not a warning that you can cause damage, just a notice that is the most the charging chip will pull.

I'm using a 2.0A charger for about 2 month now without any problems. :good:

It is the maximum capacity the charger can supply. So if the device only needs 1.5 A and the regulator circuit is not faulty, it will only provide 1.5 ampers.

Mind if I ask, as i'm not really into this.
Does it 'damage' anything, if using 2.1A, as I already have such a charger?

I have a Maxboost car charger that I bought from Amazon (US). And it has two USB ports. One 2.0 amps and the second is 2.4 amps. I've used both on my iPhone 6 and Note 4 without any issues.

It's not like the charger "pushes" current into your phone, but rather how much current the charger is able to provide if a device tries to "pull" that amount of energy from the charger. A charger rated at wrong(to high) voltage will on the other hand damage your device.

So shortly, Amp doesn't matter, but Voltage do?
Voltage should be 5, right?

Well I have ordered a cable to charge my nexus 5 that marked as high speed charger reachs 3A, and a wall charger that reachs the same 5V 3A
This should allow me to charge my nexus 5 with 5V and 3A as noted in the cable and the wall charger.
My question is if it would damage my device to go that high with the amperes
thanks in advance

Bumb, help me please
From a non-expert position, just what I've read over the years and my experience:
First, I highly doubt the Nexus 5 will "absorb" so much power. Usually, there is a chip that limits how much power it can take, let's say 1.5A.
Secondly, if it took all 3A, it would:
Be very damaging for the battery on the mid-term and long-term
The battery would last less hours than charged at a normal, slower pace (less A)
So I don't recommend it. But there is a lot about this on Google.

Nexus 5 can pull around 1.5-1.6 A only at max I guess. Even if you charge the phone via 3 A, it cannot pull that much. A higher rated charger will not damage the battery as long as the voltage is rated which matches with the phone's specs. Amp is pulled and not pushed, hence the N5 can pull only to the extent it can pull irrespective of the output Amp of the charger.
Electric items draw the amps they need. They can not be damaged by a high amp charger. What is dangerous is too many volts. That will ruin the device. All ways stick to the recommended voltage. I'm using 5vts and 2.1amp charger. Get the the # ampere # app from the App Store. It really shows which charger and lead is best. Leads are very important. You can use the best charger but with a rubbish lead it wont be any use. The wire in my leads is 20guage. Tyne best. I got 5 off Amazon UK They are by "Volutz". I noticed a massive difference. A out a third more power was getting through compered with cheap ones
