Nexus 5 charging

The nexus 5's charge has a 5.0v output (correct me if im wrong) so here the question is it ok to charge it with a 5.3v output powerbank?

Yes. Your phone regulates the current supplied to the battery so 5.3v will be fine.
You only risk damage of you go stupid voltages

Honestly, I'd personally play it safe and use the exact charging brick that the phone came with. Even in the Nexus 5 manual LG opposes of the use in using another charger other than the one the Nexus 5 comes with.

I used to use my wife's charger for he xperia z1s but I found that sometimes it would not charge even though it has the same specs so I would watch it and make sure it is charging correctly.

Oem usb cable and after market usb cable

So if I use the original usb cable that came with the device my phone will charge in about 3 or 4 hours. But if i use any after market usb cables it takes 5 to 6 hours I'm trying find our what is the difference between the two cables. Keep in mind I'm using the same oem charger with both cables.

Your stock charger is 2 amps the ones you are using are most likely 1 amp. You need to find other ones that are 2 amps also.

No I'm using the white 2 amp charger. I have narrowed it down to the cable I'm trying to see if there is something diffrent.

Yeah I just read it again my bad. Is the non oem cable skinnier?

Yeah I'm contacting samsung right now trying to understand exactly what makes there usb cable tick. So far all I got is its the next generation of cable.

Charge only cables vs Charge and data cables. Has been thoroughly discussed in the forums. Go buy a charge only cable and you will see the fastest charging. Just don't try to use it for data. Guage of wires also has a lot to do with how much current can be carried.

Original charger charging at half speed?

Recently my original charger only charges at 700ma vs the original 1200-1300 ma before. Now my phone charges half as fast, which is an annoyance but not a huge problem. Anyone got any ideas?

I had the same problem from day 1 when i received the phone. I contacted Google and they wanted me to send them the complete set of phone and box to send me a replacement. I simply used an older usb charger that came with my older phone.
I think its a quality or defect problem.

Just out of curiosity, how are you measuring the current draw?

Really? How do you see the "absolute" input current? I thought bmw only showed the difference between the charge and drain currents...

That is normal and avoids damaging the circuitry

Vinsic charger question

I already have this charger that I use with my Nexus 6p. Will it work with the Pixel XL? http://www.vinsic.com/Products/sku-VSCC205B

i don't see why not. looks good.

I have the same charger and can confirm that it works
I purchased the Belkin charger cause it has USB PD on board and should do a better job with the pixel
