I want a charger with longer wire than the one which comes in retail box. I was going through this Nokia AC-20 charger. Can someone tell me if that will be advisable to use with N5? The output of that charger is 750mAh, so I guess it will take some more time to charge which is fine with me. Should I go for it? Is there anyone who uses the AC-20 charger?

Personally I would go with wireless charger. I have the Google charger at my work desk and a different one at home I use as my nighttime dock.
Problem is that these chargers are not much available in India, moreover the prices are too high.

I don't use car chargers as I don't think they are safe! A simple crank of your engine causes the voltage to go up a lot... Even though the branded ones are totally safe, I prefer not to use them..
However, here is one which I'm eagerly waiting for... http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-air-dock
Why don't you just buy a longer 6ft+ USB cable and attach it to the charger?
The plugin part of the charger is the important part. The port is a standard microUSB cable so you can use whatever cable you want.

I was trying to use my old Nokia CA 101 which is a long cable than other but the charging time was way less than the stock one. Currently I'm using a Nokia AC 10E which belongs to my friend. This charges my phone really quick and comes with a long cable. But I have to return it this weekend. I tried looking for it in ebay India but unable to find 1.

I tried it already with a longer Nokia USB cable which is charging the phone slowly. So I need to buy a cable which can charger is at the same speed as the stock one.

I think you need a usb 3 cable.
Is this thing a joke? It's barely 3 ft long. How the hell are we supposed to use this effectively and safely without it falling on the floor plugged in and crack the screen? It barely reaches my bedside table.

Buy another charger? I use the blackberry playback charger personally long cable fast charging and pretty cheap to buy.
Adjust accordingly. Just know that if u do replace the cable or use another charger, the charging rate won't be as fast. See https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/oneplus-one-charging-cable-alternative.68517/
But I completely agree, it should have been longer. I just adjusted accordingly and all is good now, the cable should have been at least 6 ft.

I have no idea about that, maybe someone else can provide input on that. I do love the fast charging rate on the phone though, I'll even pay OnePlus $5-10 to have a larger usb cable with their special battery juice.

I'm pretty sure it's high speed usb cord. I used my old nexus charger and it charged about 10% in an hour. Brutal.

Yup I know how you felt.. I used the blackberry folding charging for my N5 and it charged super quick and the cable is super long.
The blackberry folding charger was 1.8A.
I thoroughly recommend the blackberry charger. It has to be this one:
http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/301241170713?nav=SEARCH
Should be able to grab it from your location too. A lot of sellers sell this particular charger. It's got a 6ft cable and charges quickly. I've replaced all my chargers with this one and it works a treat.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...ng charger&sprefix=blackberry+folding+cha,aps looks like they became more expensive, I paid $5 for 2 back when I bought them.
I got some off monoprice for $7.

Glad I found this thread. I never even took the stock charger and able out of the box yet. I have a generic usb cable plugged into my iPad charger. It took almost 8 hours to go from 3% to around 80%. I think I am gonna start using the included charger now.

If you're looking for a longer alternative, this one will charge at the same rate as the original cable.

Yes you can. It's the same cord that youd get from any the phone. It does look strange, but it is a USB port.

The 2amp chargers from Samsung charge at the same rate. You can get them from amazon along with a long charging cable for under $10.

Thanks. I did order this cable. It doesn't charge quite as fast the oem cable. I get ~1100 mA with the oem cable, and ~800 mA with this one. But it's still much better than the ~200mA I was getting with all the other generic usb cables I had.

Does anyone know if these chargers have any negative effect on the battery over time?
the iVoler car charger, I just bought this to try it cause the price was low and the reviews said it was quality made. This charger works exactly as promised. And the 6 foot USB cable is of good quality and really nice. It also fits into my m9 with a nice click, and fits well around my case. I will definitely buy more of these!

They will lead to battery at higher temp.
Mine Charges at approximately 2.5A I observed battery temp reach 43C before charging current was lowered until temperature came back down.
Likely to lead to slightly reduced lifespan .
No concern to me as I typically change phone every six months. Even to owners who change every two years it probably won't be noticeable. Good advice is to charge overnight with normal charger and use fast charger only when needed .

I have the original charger and the rapid charger from the nexus 6 and I can say the nexus 6 charger does charge my phone a lot faster than the HTC provided one.
I'm tempted by the rapid charger 2.0 but I'm not sure, because charging a battery more faster it reduces the battery life. What do you think?

Hey Good day.
Has anyone tried using a Qi receiver with a case. Would love to know about your experience if its any good? And which products you guys used.
Hi. I've got this one with a normal slim case: http://s.aliexpress.com/IfuQnquQ
It works well, although the qi adapter is a bit too long so I had to improvise a little.

Does this make it so you can't plug anything else into the USB C port then while using this charging pad? Like if I needed to quick charge my phone I wouldn't be able to without unplugging the charging pad first? Or is it a pass-through port?

Nope - if you need to use the USB C socket for something else, you will need to unplug the wireless receiver pad first.

No problem, I thought that was the case. Was just curious. Thanks for the info though!
How fast does it charge? Would it charge say low % (10-20%) to 100% over a 6-8 hour night on the charging pad?

That's probably a fair estimate. I gave up using it when I started to need my USBC socket more than the wireless.

I have multiple charging pads around the house and office so I never really had it get very low. But those estimates seem pretty close to what I would expect. It is a pain to pull it out though so I go through phases, I'll have it on for a while then I take it off.
