Im searching for a 1.5a charger. Can you recommend a charger from another phone? I find it really hard to find one when ever i was asked what phone i have and when i said moto g, they just said no. Most of the time i see 2.0 or 2.1a i know moto g still support that but i read that it heats the phone. Thats why im searching for the max amp that moto suppprts. Pls reply from what phone do you use, like brand and phone model. Pls only 1.5a. Thanks.

Just buy one of those 2amp chargers you've seen.Your phone has built-in circuitry that will limit the current to 1.5A anyway.In other words, your phone won't heat up more than, if you're using 1.5A charger.
Actually there are some reports that uses 2.0a+ charger that heats up their phone.

I found this one (it is not 1.5, but 1.2):
Nokia AC-10E
Input: 100-240V, 50-60Hz
Output: 5.0V, 1200mA
For my Moto G sometimes I use my mother's phone charger and it charges quite fast my phone. It is an HTC charger:
HTC TC E250
Input: 100-240V/200 mA
Output: 5V, 1A
Thanks giugo.
i use my old nokia E52's charger...output is 1200mA (1.2 A)..charge fast and haven't faced any issue yet
you may go and grab one of nokia's charger in my opinion :good:

Hello,
my battery charger stopped working and i need a new one. I read a few review and i'm a bit confuesd, not every chargers with the capability to deliver 1000mAh works with every device. So which one oft them works with the desire s and delivers 1000mAh and not just 500mAh?
just buy a oem wall charger ,, easily found on ebay and also cheap
does it has any difference between 1000 and 500mah chargers? now i'm using original liveview charger with 500mah on it but also have 1A iPhone charger.

Overheating
im using an old S2 charger i think, its got an output of 5V, 0.7 amps and after flashing a costom rom, jellyfirebean im getting serious overheating issues, but only while charging with the phone on.
however i cant confirm this is the chargers problem yet

Double that. Overheating can be only caused by the phone itself, or a defected battery (means it is near death, but for serius heating, you will notice like 1hrs of battery life for the phone).
On another note for the topic. I use 3 type of chargers for my phones:
At home my ASUS tab's one (which is rated 5V 1A at the standard USB, plus the extra for the dock, but it is ASUS specific), at work an old ZTE "dumbphone" charger (which is rated 5V 0.75A, and is a high frequency switching type, so really energy-efficient) and for any other my old SE X8's one, which is 5V 650mA (which is also switching type). Also dedicated charger cables, 1 nokia, 1 SE, 1 HTC and 1 ZTE at my car.
The phone's original 5V 1A is NRFB at the box of the phone, but I have a security backup Samsung charger (rated 5V 500mA and pass-trough type, so not really efficient, but stable) which works just fine. The S is not capable (or not enabled just yet) of fast charge mode AFAIK so no really chance for 500mA or more when charging (even when GPS and 3G on, and screen on max, which is aroung 430mA when I last measued it with a service cable).
reporting back
yeah i can confirm it was the 2 year old htc battery
i am now using 2 anker 1600mah batterys and they last a LOT longer + come with an enternal charger so i always have one charged, it also charges the old htc battery too externally so i can now use 3 battieries mwahahahaa

I have ordered a Moto G from England (GSM global version I presume), and while I am waiting for it to arrive, I would like your advice on what kind of wall charger to buy that would be optimal for the phone charge recommendations since my knowledge on the issue is very minimal.
I read somewhere that Motorola recommends between 0.5 - 1.5A , but that doesn't really tell me anything.
I have an old Samsing galaxy SII. Can I use the charger of the Galaxy for the Moto G? The output is 0.7A
As you said, any charger where the output is not too high (I recommend below 2a or below 2,5 to not stress the battery.
Conclusion: your samsung charger should work perfectly!
Edit: if you experience bad/not so good battery life (I did after update to kitkat), let your phone drain completely (shuts down) and recharge it to 100% and leave plugged in like 30-1h after it reached 100%.
But don't do this too often as it will harm your battery over time.

Using a charger over 2A doesn't stress the battery because the Moto G limits the current to 1.5A.
It says so right here : https://motorola-global-portal.cus...prod_answer_detail/a_id/97318/p/30,6720,9050
”Any Motorola charger with the correct micro-USB tip will charge your Moto*G. You will see the best results when the output of the charger is between 500 mA and 1.5 A. The higher the output, the faster your Moto G*will charge.
If your charger output is higher, the MOTO G will automatically restrict the charging rate. If your charger is lower, it will simply take longer to reach a full charge.”
I use my nexus 7 2A charger daily and it charges noticeably faster than my 1A HTC charger and is as Motorola stated, perfectly safe.
A 0.7A charger would charge pretty slow!

Many thanks. Could you recommend me on a good and not expensive charger that would do the job and charge it fast?
Since I dont live in the US, amazon is kind of useless to me since there are very few items they ship outside the US, so eBay would be a better option. I just dont want to buy something crappy

I use a Blackberry branded 0.75mah micro usb charger which works well as does my Samsung Galaxy Tab2 which is 2amp charges nicely too.
I found an older HTC usb 0.7 charger did not work at all well for some reason.

Indeed but I've found some chargers vary for example my Samsung 2amp Galaxy Tab2 charger will not charge my Moto Defy+ phone, it sits there forever doing very little but the Moto G is fine with it. Probably due to the Defy+ only drawing 500mah and the Galaxy charger sees this as undercurrent and doesn't output whereas the MotoG can demand up to 1500mAh current which the Galaxy charger sees as acceptable and supplies the current.
I'd avoid any of the super cheap nasty Chinese crap chargers that seem very poorly built, unstable and potentially a death trap.

Sorry I meant to quote the advice above that said don't get something with too large a current.
Absolutely avoid cheap chargers, burnt home totally not worth the savings. The hp chargers left from the time they used to make tablets are pretty good actually, tested with an oscilloscope
I dont want a crappy cheap Chinese charger. Thats why I am asking for a recommendation. I have a nexus 7 2013 and the output is 2A. I assume I can use it also to charge the Moto G?

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.

you should have no problem using a different charger. i use a quickcharger (not that this has QC capabilities, but i have one from my other phone here at work) as well as a 1.5A and 2.0A charger at home, there's only been a couple charge cycles so far but no issues.
i haven't had any issue using various chargers with any of my phones, the bigger difference will be using a cheap charger vs a quality one.
the weak charger included is most likely a way to cut costs down, which is also why it's not a usb cable with an adapter, but an integrated charger.
i also use a 1.5A charger with my moto 360 vs the crappy one they included in that, no issues so far.
You can use up to a 2A charger, which should cut charge time in half.
Have u used a 2A charger on the G3? Charge times?
I use a premium brand charger 2.4A output takes about 2+hr to fully charge. Won't use the pathetic 550mA charger came with my phone. For $235 with tax cheaporola could include a better charger with a separate good quality usb cable.
An answer in Lenovo's support forums says the G5 does not support Turbo Power, but it comes with a 10W rapid charger. The problem that here in Brazil not even this 10w charger gets shlpped with the phone, neither can I find it for sale, so I'm thinking about getting a 15W Turbo Power charger, does anyone knows if it'll charge the G5 (25W and above are reportedly not working with the G5)
It won't work, But you'll get fast charge tho (NOT TurboCharge, which is even faster. Just standart fast charge)

Ok, if you do it, that'll hilp a lot, since moto G5 came with this standard 2A charges.
I bought my Moto G5 in Brazil near the launch date, it did come with the 10 W charger (5V-2A, W = V x A, do the math). As far as I know, Snapdragon 430 support Quick Charge 3.0. I bought a ROCK charger with Quick Charge 3.0, just waiting for it to arrive from Aliexpress, should work just fine.

Well, I didn't know that this would result in 10W. Anyways, as far as I know the moto G5 doesn't support Turbo/Quick charge, despite using the Snapdragon 430. I say thay because none of the TurboPower chargers in Motorola's website cites the G5 as supported (only G5+/G5S), in addition, I read many reports in Lenovo's official forum repporting it doesn't support Quick/Turbo Charge, like here: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-G...g-with-Qualcomm-quick-charge-3-0/td-p/3828209
In other words, a 15W charger is not supposed to provide great advantages over the regular charger that came with it.
Anyways, thanks for showing me a 5v-2a equals 10w, I googled and confirmed it.

You are welcome.
To be honest I have been using the Quick Charger but can confirm if it's working or not. I usually just plug the phone before going to sleep, when I wake up it's already 100% . I will search if there's anything available to detect if it's using the quick charge or not.
Did it work?
I'm using my wife's charger from her G4+ and it seems not boost the charger at all. It takes the same time with my own charger. Normally, batteries got a regulator that protect the battery from being overpowered and, maybe, exploded. So, if it was setted to 2A max it won't work anyway. Also, the official charger detects, through USB interface, if the device support Boosted Charging before sending 3A. If you wanna save your money, my advice is don't buy it.
Moto G5 doesn't support Qualcomm 2.0 or 3.0 which charge at 9V or 12V. My original charger used to charge at 5.2V and up to 1.5A, but it doesn't anymore, now doesn't go over 5.0V. Very difficult to charge when powered on when normal charger only manages about 0.6A . Also have problem with portable battery packs, best option is to connect external battery when full, and it just about stops internal battery falling. Maybe the connector wearing out, have tried different cables....

Sometimes it can be as simple as a tiny piece of pocket lint/crud in the USB charging port. You can buy cans of compressed air to blow them out same as used on Camera lens or check with magnifying glass and then a toothpick with care to clean anything found out.
