Cheap fast-charge chargers? - Galaxy S6 Accessories

Hi there. I am one of those people that like to have a multitude of chargers around my house. So far all I have are the stock cheap chargers and the fast charge one that comes with the phone. Does anyone know of any relatively cheap chargers for the s6 that use the new fast charging? I've seen the HTC and Samsung ones but they seem to be rather pricy. I'm from Australia, so anything Amazon unfortunately doesn't ship here.
Thanks heaps.

There isn't any other than the official Samsung one. Aukey do a quick charge 2.0 powerbank and there's a QC2.0 car charger available too, both on Amazon though.

unfortunately, fast chargers are still relatively new and aren't very cheap. that said, you can still find some on eBay that are cheaper than the Samsung charger. search for "quick charge 2.0." it is the very same standard that Samsung rebranded as "adaptive fast charging," so devices can be used interchangeably.

I think that Qualcomm is a good company for quick charge chargers. I Don't have any, but that is what I've heard.

Yes, I know what qualcomm quick charge is. I was just confused about what you stated since I did not think Qualcomm makes chargers.
Back to OP, check here for a list of certified chargers with the QC 2.0 tech.

I've have nothing but good experiences with Anker. I'm probably gonna pick this up so I have a charger at the office:

No, quick charge 2.0 is a standard, not a speed. Also, quick charge 2.0 is not available as wireless. That's a different standard again (Qi & Pmat).

can you take a picture of your charger of dose it say Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 on it ?
Anyone in the US (not sure about other regions) can waltz into a verizon store and pick up one of these:

Price isn't terrible at ~$35. I'm not on verizon and I don't like all the red, but who cares at the end of the day. Also, the USB cable it comes with has a light on the end. which is handier than I thought it would be. IE: stabbing your phone in the butt when trying to charge it in the dark. I do not regret getting this charger for a second.

(If you can't catch it then it's a quick charge... lol!) Yes there is a way, if you plug in a slow charger you will get a pop up message telling you that you are using a slow charger. I charge my m9 from my PC as it has a built-in USB port for fast charging phones, which can even be used if the PC is powered off.
Will this charger charge the M9 faster? I don't know if it supports that Qualcomm fast charging 2.0 though?

I've had great results from the Choe brand QC chargers LINK. Used it with my M8 now using for my M9.
I got the Anker Qualcomm 2.0 Quick Charger.
It works. Light glows green when my M9 is plugged in. Charges stupid fast.
Takes up one space on the power strip.

I bought that same charger. Would you be willing to download the free app called Ampere and see what it reports for current when you are using that charger? I am having a very weird issue where Ampere is only reporting about 250mA with that charger but if I use a different charger that is not Qualcomm certified I get upwords of 1500 milliamps. I'm wondering if Ampere is just not capable of handling the calculation on a phone with the Qualcomm Quick Charge technology or if there is something wrong with the charging of my phone.
I just bought these two, and it said I will have them by Sunday; it's Friday!
Two fast charge ports on the wall charger and 1 on the car charger, and the rest of the ports are 2.4 amp 5 volt.

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?

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.

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

Depends how sharp eyed you are I suppose. For me the main reason to have those extra watts is so that the battery can still charge at a good rate while running google maps on the phone while driving. That GPS, screen, GPU and CPU take a good chunk of energy.

I use the Moto 15w car Turbo Charger while running TomTom Go. It uses more battery than any navigation app I have ever used. And I still get a charge moving upward while using it. A regular charger had trouble keeping up with TomTom Go, on my old M7. But I could use Google Maps navigation on the M7 on the car charger just fine.
