What type of charger would I need to take full advantage of Quick Charge 2.0? & I also read somewhere that it can support even higher than 1.67a chargers? Would that mean it would charge even faster than a 1.67a if I got for instance a 1.97a charger?
Also is there any downsides to using this or benefits I should be aware of before going through with this?
Links to any recommended chargers would be appreciated as I'm very lazy lately LOL (or just a name & site), thanks ahead of time!
Edit: did a LITTLE searching and found this: http://www.amazon.com/PCD-CNR71-Charger-EADP-15ZB-79H00107/dp/B009AXZ2S8 . Will that do the job? & if so is it the best I can get for my phone?

No, that Amazon charger won't charge much faster than the original charger that came with the phone. I don't believe there are any quick charge 2.0 compatible chargers available yet. HTC said they will release one later this year. The charger has to have specific circuitry to support quick charge 2.0. I use a 2A charger that came with my Galaxy S4, but it does not support quick charge 2.0. You will just have to wait until a supported charger is released.

Any suggestions? I'm looking for something that can do the quick charging in the car, is that even possible? Can it be done with a dual port so my wife and I can use the quick charger at the same time?

This is basically the same cable that came with my S6 just longer correct? The included cable is too short to plug in near my night stand.
Any charger that is a 2amp charger... and any cable.. i have tried all my old cables on the s6 charger... all allow fast charge... and its charger is 2amp.... same as nexus 7 and all other newer devices... so just go with a 2 amp charger and enjoy the fast charge. And yes they make dual port 2 amp chargers... usually 1 port is 2 amp and second one is like 1 or 1.4amp... i have 2 cheap ones from amazon myself... will test them with the phone tomorrow and update you.

any cable will work, but not every 2.0A charger will work. i tested it with a 2.0A (not the Samsung one) charger and "fast charging" did not show up in the phone.
AFAIK, you have to use one of Samsung's OEM chargers or one capable of the Quick Charge 2.0 standard for adaptive fast charging.
OP, i only did a cursory search, but i found this dual Quick Charge 2.0 charger that might meet your needs: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TGD79X8?psc=1
Interesting, I didn't think to check for QC 2.0. I was thinking the Anker one did that. Thanks!
That being said though, anyone have experience with any of them with how they hold up?
Verizon sells one, it is their generic branding, it's the only one that I have seen or tried that is marketed that it is QC 2.0, works great even has a built in LED flash light basically. Sucks that it is $34.99 though.

From my understanding Quick Charge 2.0 is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 (or newer) processor feature. The Galaxy S6 is running Samsung's Exynos 7420 processor which features Adaptive Fast Charging. I don't know how they vary in terms of performance, but I do know that when I plug in my Quick Charge 2.0, my S6 recognizes it as a fast charger. Battery went from 40% to 63% in 13 mins so I'm assuming both charging standards are compatible lol..
Try this car charger, worked great for my Qualcomm based phones.

i'm reasonably sure it's the same standard. the Note 4 (Snapdragon 805) is listed on Qualcolm's website as compatible with QC 2.0. however, if you look at Samsung's website, it only lists Adaptive Fast Charging. Samsung just rebranded QC 2.0 as their own Adaptive Fast Charging. you can use all devices interchangeably.
also, the OP wanted a dual port QC 2.0 charger. that one only has 1 port w/ QC 2.0
I have already Anker 2 amp car charger in hand and i was thinking it wont be fast enough , i have seen video where quaclom demonstrated that Quick charging is faster than 2 amps charging , and judging by the fact that Samsung is providing comparable charging time with stock charger i was thinking that it is more than 5V 2.0 Amps .. too bad i am waiting for my phone to arrive.

This is the one I was looking at, thanks!
Anyone know of a portable battery that fast charges (real fast charging)?
I know of these:
http://www.aukey.com/product/pb-t1-fast-charge-battery-charger (I read that the s6 supports qualcomm 2.0)
http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/get-through-qualcomm-quick-charger-2_60195548667.html (not really commercially available)
I also would be interested in a powerbank that is compatible with fast charging the S6 / S6 Edge.
And I too came across the Aukey powerbank.
But I didn't find the information if the S6 is compatible with Quick Charge 2.0, as this was developed by Qualcomm.

I purchased the Aukey one you linked over the weekend and should be getting it today. I'll let you know how it is but it advertises that its quick charge 2.0 capable so we'll see.
The Aukey isn't in stock anymore on Amazon. I would have bought it. Thanks, please let us know.
Hey,dear,,,,,,,you are right..choose a good charger is very important.
I bought the Aukey. I only tried it once so far, but it works exactly as advertised. It shows up on the phone as a fast charger. It is a bit heavier than I would like, but I won't be carrying it everywhere, so.
Even with the same cable, recharging the Aukey took a lot longer than charging the phone. I don't know if that's weird or too be expected.

Well the Aukey is 10000mah and the phone is like 1/5 of that so it should take longer to charge.

The Aukey is getting charged with maximum 2 Amps on 5V if it the advertising is correct ,, personally i think it is 1.0A on 5V and your phone got charged with quick charge which is faster , also if you take efficiency into consideration , if the Aukey where to deliver 2000 mah to your phone then it will consume at least 2500 mah to do that .
Aukey will be available April 20. I put my order in on amazon.
BTW, you can fast charge the Aukey if you're getting slow charge times.
Have you seen this one?
http://www.ipoweradd.com/poweradd-pilot-s-12000mah-battery-charger-for-samsung-s5-s4_p1270.html
It looks a good option
Just got this bad boy, so far so good, two charging ports, 1 @ 2.1Amps, the other at 1am. The 2.1Amp side charges pretty fast. Not the cheapest but looks like good quality
Comes with a cool case too
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CKGAE94/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So the Aukey arrived and yes it does fast charge (says so in the pull down).
It's a little heavy and the plastic finish on both sides is slightly scratched (only noticeable) under light, but it seems to be the product to get right now.
Amazon link to Aukey fast charger
Here is the link to Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Aukey-10000mAh-Portable-External-Supported/dp/B00UBDI7EC
is there any word on release date of the official samsung battery back ?
the actual samsung branded one.
The Aukey is a rip off of the Unu battery chargers. The Unu can fast charge for certain. I've had it for months now and love it.

Fast charge as in qualcomm 2.0?
I wonder if the Samsung Car charger Fast Adaptive which is the name sammy gave for Quick Charging 2.0 is compatible with the M9?
The wall charger version work from what I heard but dunno about the Car one
Maybe the output specs could shed some light on interoperability. I'd guess that between the differences of Samsung's Exnos processor and Qualcomm's Snapdragon there isn't much collaboration to build a common fast charging standard. Too bad, that.

General properties of batteries. Fast charge and discharge cycles cause them to break down sooner.
Guys, I tested the Samsung Adaptive Fast Charger and it was a no-go. I tried two different ones under ideal charging conditions and what I found was the charger would sync with the phone and boost to rapid charge levels, but it wouldn't sustain them. It kept prematurely stepping back down to slow-speed, lower amperage levels. So IMHO you should save your $$.
The QC2.0 certified chargers that I have found work 100% are the ZeroLemon wall charger and the PureGear 12v car charger. Both will lock the phone on at high rates of charging unless (or until) the phone heats up too much, then charging is throttled until the phone cools down some. My observations are that it will definitely throttle after temps rise above 100F and if you cool the phone down by (e.g.) holding it in front of the A/C vent, rapid charging resumes.
Ok so I tested the Samsung Fast Adaptive Car charger and it's pretty fast even with the screen ON due to the Car App, though better let the screen dim by itself or the phone will get hot.
Conclusion: I recommend this charger even though it's a little bit more expensive than Chinese cheap QC 2.0 that can end up DOA or be bad for your battery
My wall QC 2.0 charger works as it should once over 3 and the screen can be a little weird

This one is good : [Qualcomm Certified] Tronsmart® Quick Charge 2.0 18W USB Car Charger
Opt among 1 output, 2 output or 3 output. However, please note that only 1 output port supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0. Rest 2 are fast, however, not QC 2.0 Fast.:good:
what is it i need one ?
Check slickdeals. I've been using the $5 one (on sale). It outputs 12v so it charges the phone very fast.

I was considering this one.

This is 2.1amp, and is the smallest, it can virtually snap right into your car charger port, without the protruding charger popping out.

Technology is same. High Volt, low Ampere. Any QualComm Certified QUick Charger would be compatible with Samsung's Adaptive Fast Charging. Atleast any branded ones, never go for any unheard brands. Usually Tronsmart, Aukey and Anker are good choices in average budget. Here's a video review I did for Tronsmart Adapter (Quick Charge) with my Edge+ :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR8W9ozZgAs
Also, please note that I have no affiliation with any of these brands, I just received a product for the review from Tronsmart and I found it really good. And I'm sure Aukey and Anker are equally good.:fingers-crossed:
Also, the Car Charger you are considering isn't fast charging compatible. Although it will not take much time with high Amp output (as specified), but its definitely not a fast charger.
Well, I am using CHOETECH’s Dual USB Car Charger with a dedicated port certified by QUALCOMM’s quick charge 2.0 technology so that I can charge my S6 Edge plus at quick charging rate even on the go. The main specialty of this charger is that it is not only charge the fast charging devices but also Apple devices like iPad Air 2 or iPhone 6 plus at much fast rate as compared to their original charger. You can consider to buy this from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YX7Y3G8/

Thats very good info. Charging technology is evolving with the phones, and thats a very positive start.
The day is not very far when we might have multi thousand mah of battery juice and charging becomes a weekend job.
Do you mind taking notes while charghing 20% of battery with both the qualcomm fast charge, and the regular 2.1amp charger.
I've already placed an order for the Aukey 4.8A / 24W Dual USB Car Charger mainly because of the size. I'd really want a charger that can **** plush within the car's charging port.

Charging isn't a very quantitative process. First 20% of charging would never be same as next 20% of charging. Usually with fast charger, the first 20% would be amazingly fast while the regular 2.1 amp might take upto 1.5 - 2 times the time. Also, assuming two different devices have same sized battery, with the same charger, one might get 70% charged within 30 min while the other can get 80% charged. However, by the end of 100%, both might take similar time. Thats why, the % readings aren't very consistent or dependable. Its approximation. With 2.1 Amp charger, you won't loose much time, trust me. Also, I don't have the facts, but I have noticed that when I do the fast charging, battery drains out marginally quicker than when I charge through regular 2 Amp charger. Hope that helps.. :fingers-crossed:

Thanks that was good info. I've received my 2.1Amp Aukey charger.
I tried it yst evening while commuting back home from work, which is about 20min drive, and the phone was at at 50%, and it was able to charge about 30% in less than 30 mins. Looks promising. I love the form factor. you cannot evne see the charger plugged into the car port. Best of all, the car port's cover covers the entire charger when not charging, this way i dont even have to remove the charger jack every time i have to charge the car, just pluck out the wires, and snap the cover back to conseal the charger.

With constant gaming and videos watching (after working hours ofcs ), mine doesn't stay beyond a day. I'm very happy with that though. I have seen significant different in battery life when I keep the power saving mode on and it doesn't really impacts my gaming at all even though it says that power saving switches to the 1.5 ghz cores and stays that way...!
It doesn’t matter a lot but yeah the main thing is internal circuit and the premium component used in the manufacturing. All of the chargers integrated with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 chip inside. But the best components used in the manufacturing plays a vital role. I can trust CHOETECH more in this area as they are offering 18 months warranty, which means they are confident about what they produce or deliver to their consumers.
