What does this thread even mean?
Trickle charging has been around for years. All it means is that once a device is charged to 100%, the charger will allow the device to discharge a tiny bit, then will top it off that tiny bit, and then rinse and repeat. Obviously it's effective because if your phone charges to 100%, you don't have to unplug it immediately. You can just leave it on the charger and it will stay at 100%.

A trickle charge is a charge at a very low current.
Trickle charging is when the battery is charged at a low rate. It's actually the best way to charge a battery although it takes longer.SO ITS 100% EFFECTIVE & REAL:good:

Is it me or is anyone else getting a slow recharge of their battery. I turned the phone off for an hour and the charge only went up a couple percent

What did you have it plugged into? If it was a computer or charger meant for a lower powered device (like a Bluetooth) that might explain it.
My G2x charges faster than any phone I can remember.
I went from ~20% to 100% in 1.5 hours yesterday, phone on but idle and with the charger it came with. I would try the software reset (settings>privacy>factory data reset) or hardware reset (power off, then hold home and volume down as you power on) and see if those help.

I had it plugged into a wall outlet with a strictly wall charger. I know the chargers that sub as a usb and charger, recharge the phone at a slower rate
Mine recharges from sub - 20% to 100% in about two hours on stock charger in a wall outlet.

That's about what I get, but that still feels long to me. I could charge my N1 in an 70 minutes.

Same results here.
If you can disconnect the data connection of the microUSB cable, do it. This will help to speed up the charging.
OK, so I went ahead and did a factory reset and I will let you know what I get.
I'm getting a slow charge rate to..when i put cm7 on it it wouldn't charge at all for some reason, then after that w/ other roms it would overheat and charge crazy slow, like 1 percent every 5 min, idk maybe i'm inpatience or don't remember how fast it's suppose to be, i need to use juiceplotter and see how fast or slow it charges....i might do a warranty replacement......idk yet......
I am getting a fast charge rate. The fastest I've ever got with a stock charger. Now when I charge it with a Logitech charger for my wireless mouse it is insanely fast. I'm talking going from 15% to 100% in a matter of 30 minutes. Anyone know if this is bad for the battery?
I just bought a wireless charger, and it works great...except it seems to stop at 100%. Rather than keeping it topped off, it will start draining after it completes it's charge (i.e. if i wirelessly charge overnight, it will have 85% battery in the morning)
Thoughts? Is this the way the MAXX works, or is my charger defective?
I believe, and dont quote me but, thats the smart battery in the phone that keeps the phone from overcharging.

If you lose 15% of battery overnight while the phone just sits there, you might have bigger problems than just the charger. But to answer your question, I have the oval shaped Nokia charger pad from AT&T. It will get the battery to 100% and maintain it. If I pick my phone up off the charger after 2 days, it will still be at 100%

The phone when charged to 100%, it will stop charging until the phone reaches arnd 97% then charge back up. And it repeats until u unplug it. It prevents over charging. Also, he is right. If it is at 85%, its either ur charger cannot charge as fast. Or ur phone.

Give a thank if I helped you
I read a post here and I didn't quite understand which charger should I buy for a quick charge.
Appreciate the help.
The one that came with the phone.
The phone will only take in what it needs.
This phone charges the fastest I have ever witnessed on AC obviously.

only use the charger given with the box cause they have settled some voltage parameters according to phone's battery ...so dont go for any other charger ...it might heat up your battery or any wrong can be happen to u ....
bro it is 2300 mah battery so it takes time to fill up some juice into battery ...
dont worry

Any 2 amp charger will work. 1 amp chargers will work too but won't charge as quickly.

All (good) USB chargers are going to charge at the same 5V as the Nexus 5 charger. Any charger from another phone will work without issue, but if it's under 1.2A it will charge more slowly (many are 1A). Just don't buy a cheap, poorly made charger and you'll be fine.

The major assumption here that a slower charge leads to a higher run time is not true.
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries
A slower charge leads to the saturation charge phase taking less time while the constant current phase takes longer. The battery in the Nexus 5 and the accompanying 1.2A charger is meant to give you the quick 70% charge that is discussed in the BU article and then trickle charge during the saturation charge. If you're charging overnight it doesn't matter which method you use, you'll still reach 100% around the same time and the runtime will be the same.
Tnx everyone, I have the original chargr but I lost is cable.
I tried many cables but that just are not fast enoug.
Any idea where I can buy one?
Hey guys, does anyone know a tweak where my phone will stop charging at like 99% so that when I charge overnight, it doesn't over charge? Or is this already a feature in many custom kernels such as elementalx

It's a feature of the phone itself. Don't worry about it

With all my phones, I've always left them charging overnight. As jd1639 says - they are designed to ensure they are not overcharged. This is both to protect the phone and also not to waste electricity.
I use an old Motorola charger by my bedside which is rated at 500 mah. As it's going to be plugged in for 7 or 8 hours, it might as well charge slowly! It's better for the battery that way - maybe see if you can pick up a lower-rated charger if you want to be extra careful.

That's actually worse for the battery, being charged too slowly

I've not heard that anyway, but is 500 mah "too slowly"? That's the output you'll get from a USB drive.
Ah right... Just looked it up. If it's an ac wall charger. It's ok. If it's a usb port they generally give out less voltage (around 4.2-4.5) so your battery won't last as long between charges

If the battery is fully charged it shouldn' matter what voltage was used to get there. A full charge is a full charge.

This isn't true. A charger only works by applying a voltage to the cable which causes electrons to flow into the battery. The N5 battery is at full charge at 4.2V. If you're charging it with a supply that is running at less than 4.2V it will only charge up to the voltage applied.
Edit: I guess to clarify I should say that you're right that a "full charge is a full charge" but you will never get to a full charge if you are applying too low a voltage. And keep in mind that if your USB port is only providing 4.2A there is a voltage drop across the wire so you would end up with a lower voltage at the battery.

That's ampage i think. Ampage will gain with charge. Voltage will always stay the same

Can anyone confirm how quickly their phones charge? Using the stock charger that came in the box, I was getting an estimate of 3.5 hours until full from 29%. Granted the stock charger charges at 550mah. Has anyone tried a 2.1amp charger?
On my old nexus 6 fast charger it was 2 to 2.3 h/m
(edit) literally the only thing I hate about this phone is the charging. Going to just charge it at night I been tinkering with it to much.

What h/m stand for? Sorry if it's a silly question, I've just never seen this abbreviation used before when it comes to batteries.
I'm weird don't worry. Hour / minutes.
