You can use it out of the box, but do an overnight charge your first night.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion , I will give it a all night charge then tonight and It'll be ready tomorrow morning, another quick question is how do I charge it because I just got one USB cable, do I need to keep my laptop on all night while the USB is connected ? could I use the charger of my Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 YP-G70 to charge my Moto G ?
Another question is with my old phone charger I could plug it in 110-220 V , I mean American and European electricity, with the Moto G which electricity is supported ? because I have a converter that you plug into the wall and you can connect USB to charge devices but I guess it only brings down the electricity from 220V to USB, is it safe to use it in European electrical outlets ?

Use any charger which charges. And 110-220 V wall chargers are OK.

all these phones use modern lithium polymer cells, they are not memory cells like old school rechargeable batteries. It makes no difference how u charge it. In fact, topping up a lithium cell before it is run down to zero is BETTER than letting it always deplete and then fully recharge, the latter wll reduce batteries lifespan.

[Q] Emergency Battery Charger

Hi Guys,
I am looking for an Emergency Battery Charger for Desire HD.
Mainly i want something on the cheap and light to carry. Here is what i have found. Please help me, which one should i buy:
1)350MAH EMERGENCY BATTERY CHARGER
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/350MAH-EMERGE...sAccessories_PDABatteries&hash=item27b565b877
2)Proporta USB Turbocharger 1200
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Proporta-30...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1289178938&sr=1-1
3)USB 7 In 1 Emergency Battery Charger 48000mAh (Not sure if this will work)
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-7-1-Emerg...ories_MobilePhoneChargers&hash=item35ad2b52c4
4)1500mAh Extended Backup
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Extended-Back...709?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item45f6a04fa5
the first one seems rubbish, only 350mah? and the output current is half that of a usb port.. i don't think it will even charge your phone at all and probably only slow down the battery discharge.
I've found this one:

It'll arrive today so I can say how it works only this evening.

i bought the first one (it was really cheap) and have it on my keyring with my keys, yes, of course it only slows down the battery dying, what did you expect? it is a tiny battery for EMERGENCY use, not a backup battery that can fully charge your phone multiple time for god's sake!
anyway, from 15% battery it charged it to 80% in about 35 minutes
Not a particularly cheap option but I use a Powermonkey Traveller. Although it was relatively expensive it can charge 'almost' anything with it's range of adaptors. It's seen me through many a smartphone, PSP, DSi, camera emergency!
Just my thoughts...

the product says: "You can charge this charger by USB or Sunlight."
USB ... >> OR << ... Sunlight ?

thanx =)

For six quid you can't really knock it, sure it's not the most powerful of devices but it serves a purpose. just ordered one myself
Also looking at this, more to cover my travel time on flights between London and Moscow where I'll be giving my DHD some serious welly...

It means that the external battery can be charged by USB or sunlight: I've tested that if it's charged by USB in daylight is more rapid to charge it.
If the external battery is attached to the phone, the phone charges itself and if the charger is under sunlight it charges itself.
thanx =)
and will it only charge under sunlight or maybe in the room too ?

i bought one of these a few weeks ago. its excellent.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nokia-N900-Em...PDACharger&hash=item1c16b48938#ht_2503wt_1139
massive 5000mah battery (charged my DHD twice and still had juice). only thing it its quite big and heavy. works well though and if you have 2 USB cables you can charge 2 devices at once. came in useful when my girlfriend forgot her charger when she stayed over. definitely not something to carry in your pocket, but for leaving in a bag it cant be beaten.
How about this one? It's looking exactly for emergency

Hey man, did you complete your work or even start whole trade of yours
Not the cheapest but will charge almost "anything" and it has a 5000mAh battery, go to Amazon and search for Veho VCC-A007-PBP Pebble.
I use this 5000mAh battery pack. It works very well, I get about 4 full charges from it and is able to charge 2 devices at the same time.

I bought the 4th one - 1500mAh Extended Backup. It works well enough for me. I get more or less a full charge out of it.

[Q] Slow battery charge via usb [i9020T]

Hello, I just got my Nexus S this morning and as I am from Australia the UK wall charger that came with it is incompatible so I am charging via usb.
I did a forum search and read some threads and found out a full charge takes about 3 hours. My problem is the battery is charging only %1 every 5 minutes. At this rate it will take something like 7 hours to fully charge.
My question is: Is usb charge slower than a wall charge and would it be ok to charge my phone with a Sony Ericsson wall charger because I don't have anything else? I thought it would be alright but I am just checking because I only got the phone today and don't want to break it.

You can use any micro usb charger like your old phone or any htc charger etc. No problem. i always charge with any usb charger more than 500 mAH like 1A.
USB only has output capabiliy is 500 mA or so
charger got 800 mA or 1 A , i don't remember exact number ...
Thanks guys, I thought it would be fine but it was good to be sure.
If u want a better wall charger use a HTCs and get a thicker data cable... my phone charges fast .. the Modular AC that comes with samsungs phones suck ass lol .. and the think USB too.. buy a data cable that's thick and Ull be happy =D

I think macbooks have more juice in their USBs so I guess it depends on the computer.
But standard is 500mAh.
Ipad chargers and other tablet chargers are good for fast charging.
Are a couple of sites that sell good chronic ones.

[Completed] Charger help pls

Just bought a new nexus 4 and I've noticed it takes an age to charge anyway I found another two chargers at home and on one of them it says fast charger and the cable is a lot thicker and the other is just another charger but its made by motor rolor.Now when I plug the fast charger in it says its going to take 30mins less than the original charger to complete and when I plug the motor rolor in it about 15 mins quicker than the original charger .my question is would i be doing any harm to my battery if I use the other chargers and should I just keep using the original one.

Nope
You Can Use Any Charger
Cheers
Hi I've been using the fast charge motor rolor charger and its actually taking 2 hrs quicker to charge my phone .now I haven't had a phone for a while my last device was a galaxy s2 and I'm sure it never took over 3hrs to fully charge.so I'm thinking maybe the nexus original charger was charging far to slow anyway.any thoughts on this? Thanks again

My Mate 7 is not charging to 100%!!

hey everyone, having a frustrating issue here!
I just got the Mate 7 yesterday (MT7-TL09) and I had it charge overnight...this morning I woke up and the phone read 80%, which is really weird, because it had been charging from around 25% last night for 6 hours. This was my first time charging it.
I tried to look up more information about 'breaking in' to batteries and letting it drain and recharge, but as I'm using it now the battery seems fine (great battery life, only dropped 12% in the past 5 hours of very light usage).
Also, I have been using an iPhone charger to charge it, does the 4100mAh battery require a higher power charger? I will try to charge it with the iPad charger tonight and see if it makes a difference. It's really weird because I have never had that happen to any device that I had (had the xperia Z Ultra previously and it charged fine, albeit a little slower on the iPhone charger).
I can provide any other information about this phone if needed, i'm a noob! I want to know if there is something wrong so I can address the seller and exchange for a new one in time!
Don't use any other non huawei chargers !
DISCHARGE phone to the FLAT and charge it OFF leave it BE at least 2-3 hours !
It comes with a three prong charger and I am in North America
I will give it a try first...
The provided charger is 5 volts 2 Amp. You can use any charger delivering this charge. The original charger can be used with adapter.

[New K1] Charging issues, 12h to charge 90% ...

Hi here
Just bought a new Shield K1, made an update that i had to do and i decided to plug it to charge. It just made 2% in 1 hour ... left it for more than 12h and charged from 1% to 90% only. (I'm using an Aukey charger with a good USB, charging my phone from 0% to 100% in more or less 1h).
Is their anything to do ? an optimized ROM that can help me or something ?
Thanks a lot
Did you check how many Amps can deliver the charger? Anyway, its still too slow even for a charger with 0.5 amps. Wait for some more experienced users than me

Hi yes one of them is 2.0 and the other one is 2.4.
Bought the nvidia charger to see if it could solve my issue.
Thx for your help
Could be a malfunctioning battery, cable, charger etc.
