I haven't yet felt the need for a second charger, but I was curious. All that I found when I entered the numbers on the charger itself was this http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/motorola-turbopower-25-mains-charger-black-p54390.htm
I don't know how it will work in comparison to the 25, but there are plenty of Turbo 15s on ebay. I'm thinking of giving it a shot
Just buy a 3rd party charger and use that. Why pay for overpriced OEM gear when a reputable 3rd party like Aukey, Anker or Tronsmart does the exact same thing for 1/3 of the price?
Tronsmart - http://amzn.to/1Fwm9y8
Aukey - http://amzn.to/1Fwmild
Anker - http://amzn.to/1ViLjaq
I'm not even using the 25w charger. I hate that they hardwired the cable to the charger. Makes it even more bulkier. I rather just bring my Anker 5-port USB charger (http://amzn.to/1ViLF0I) or just take Aukey single USB wall adapter (http://amzn.to/1FwmMHT) and insert my own USB cable.
All 3 will charge the device at quick speed based on what the phone is able to accept and what the charger can output.

I have the OEM 15w and it works just as well as the 25w that came with the device IMHO. Maybe for someone there's a difference. But the charge is so fast with either, it's all good either way for me . Unless someone really has a strong need, I would not worry over the 25w vs 15w at all.
Are you seeing the "Turbo Charge" message when using the 3rd party chargers? I am using the Aukey QC 2.0 charger which is pumping 1700 mA into the phone, but only seeing the "charge" message, not Turbo Charge.
With the Moto Charger I see "Turbo Charge"
I only see "charge". Even with the moto charger, I only saw charge. But I only used it once. It did tell me how long it would take for a full charge.
I just an email to Motorola asking if it is possible to order another turbocharger, hopefully they will respond sometime in the afternoon and I'll post it up

You have to plug is with the screen unlocked, under 100% battery and wait a moment. The TurboCharge message will appear. And you can try with the device turned off and it will show after a few seconds.

The standard one it probably the fastest, and the charging current is limited by the phone, and not the charger. Even the standard charger at 2A, the phones does not charger using the full 2A.

I don't know about that - I see a huge difference using the rapid charger. With it, I can charge my near dead S5 in like an hour and a half to a full charge.
I get around that figure with the supplied charger.
I get the same results with the stock charger.. Why is there need for a "rapid charger" when the one that came in the box works just fine?
Trying to understand the limitation of the turbo charger. I understand it can only do a small subset of the battery in "turbo" mode so it doesn't overpower the battery - fine, makes sense. But does this mean it has to be from 1-30% for example or do I get turbo benefit if I had to plug in to top off from 50-80% for example?
I'm 99% sure it only works in the 0-80% range or so. With most chargers, charging slows for the last 5 to 10% to prevent long-term damage. Slow-charging a Li battery will result in better longevity. There is a good chance it will work in the 50 to 80 range, but certainly not the 80 to 100 range.
Does anyone have the turbo charger and stock charger and can offer some stats on charge times, etc.?

Turbo charger is on preorder right now. Mine says it ships Oct 14. I would imagine its just a boost anywhere around 2.5 - 5.0 volts. The plug that came with my Moto X is a dual plug that is 5.0v so 2.5v per plug I suppose.
Is it only supposed to be used on certain occasions? Meaning we should not use it as our daily charger?

This actually made me laugh out loud. Thank you sir.
I have and use religiously the charger that came with my Blackberry Playbook Tablet awhile back and i bet that it is the same output as the turbo charger. My original X (new custom comes tomorrow) will charge about 40% in 12-15 min. It fly's and my wife loves it too. All my friend and family love using it when they come over.
So it is not the same as the PB charger. Its a QC2.0 charger with 4.5Amp. Your PB charger is no more than 2.1Amp. Most certainly a nice pump incharging but many do that today. Its smart enough not to cook the phone so it should be just fine for daily use. My order still says it will ship on 9/23. Big fail there Moto!
From what I've read, the turbo charger uses Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0 which allows the charger to talk to your phone and utilize the full power of the charger, up to 60W if available. It only works with Snapdragon 800 processors. A regular tablet charger will supply 10-15W of power. I couldn't find anything on what levels the battery has to be at for the quick charge to happen, but I think I remember hearing it charges at full capacity up to 67%. I may be wrong on that though.
My question is if Motorola is going to release a car turbo charger. I would rather be able to charge up my phone as I'm driving to go out. Qualcomm lists a few different chargers that use the quick charge 2.0, but none of them are available yet.

I have an inverter, but that is a piecemeal way of doing it. Plus inverters are not small and sleek like many car chargers. Hopefully it will just take a couple weeks for products to start hitting the market.
Are any of the car chargers with turbo charging ability, dual USB ports? I have to use dual port to power My ad2p gateway.
If they are all 1 USB port I won't be able to try it. I'm more interested in turbocharging on the go than at home.
The only one that I've seen is the Incipio car charger. On Amazon, it says it's a dual port, but the pictures only show one port so I'm not sure. I'm guessing the pictures are not correct.
Anyone run across this?
Both the Tumi and the Incipio battery mod will not charge unless plugged into the supplied charger, 30 w one that came with phone.
I'm aware QC 2.0 charges will not technically charge the Z Force at turbo speed but charges it faster than a standard charger.
So using a 2.0 charger it charges the phone fine but will not switch to charging the battery mods. This is using a usb c cable and a micro usb cable with a USB micro to usb c connector.
It just sits there saying g waiting to charge. But once I use the supplied charger it charges the moto mod battery.
Interesting...I wonder if it has anything to do with tripping the "turbo power" message...there are chargers out there (have to be usb-c to usb-c) that will turbo charge our phones...but not as fast as the OEM charger...I'd be curious to see if those work to charge the power packs
Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk
The funny thing is even when I use the supplied 30 watt charger that came with the phone it charges about 300 mah/rate. Heck my 2.0 chargers charge the phone at 1600 mah/rate. So I don't know. I know if it's not fixed soon I'll be returning the incipio wireless battery mod back to best buy in a couple days.

Looks like your charger is QC 2.0. It probably only produces 10W (2A X 5V). The Moto Z charger produces 15W (3A X 5V). Your Z Force charger produces 28.5W (5.7 X 5V).
I think the min. W to TurboCharge is 15W.

I suppose that would make sense, though I hope the software update would add support to QC 2.0. I'd hate to rebuy all my fast chargers for the 3.0 capability. If anything I think they should require that the phone reach 100% and then the battery starts charging, if the 2.0 chargers cannot charge both simultaneously. I love Motorola phones but their support is in SERIOUS need of a reform.

Has anyone found any cheap chargers that can charge this phone like the Essential charger does (really fast)? I have bought two different chargers and neither of them can really even charge the phone. The lock screen says it's charging slowly, and the battery meter acts like it's charging, but it doesn't actually charge. The chargers were both Quick Charge 3.0 chargers too. None of my old phone chargers with a type-c adapter will charge the phone either.

I'm not sure how Android is programmed to display "Rapidly Charging", but I'm sure it's not by charging standard. Probably based on supplied power, but it definitely doesn't charge as fast as the stock charger. I noticed this with my QC chargers. It will say rapidly charging for a couple minutes and then just not charge at all or say charging slowly. Frustrating as hell so I bought an extra USB PD charger.
My Samsung chargers all work, and charge the phone to 100%. They just say charging, not quick charging, but whatever... The % goes up.

Phone needs a charger with USB-C Power Delivery and not QC. Anker has at least one model and Incipio has one as well. There are many others on Amazon.. The cool thing about those is that they also change my XPS-13. Only carry one charger when I travel.
I've got a few QC 2/3 chargers and a few USB-C PD chargers and what I've found is that depending on which USB-C to USB-A makes a difference whether I get rapid charge or not.
I'm slowly converting over to USB-C to USB-C but it is stupid expensive for some things like the power packs with USB-C...
Anyway, try a few different cables and see if it works for you, also it seems to work a tiny bit better on the Oreo Beta however my QC 2.0 car charger doesn't charge as fast as it did on 7.1.1 but luckily the car chargers are the cheapest USB-C PD items to buy, roughly about the same price as a cable.
One last note, the same charger and cable don't always go into rapid charging mode so replugging the cable in sometime kicks in rapid mode for me.

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.
HTH
Blast from past on old phone! The usb port eventually failed completely, fortunately the little board is easy to replace, but the replacement board only lasted a few months. I still have the phone as a spare and charge the removable battery out of the phone.
