Hi guys.
My charger which came with the phone doesn't really work now so I want to buy a new charger. I just wanted to ask if can buy Samsung EP-TA12E black charger which has 2A output, because the original charger has only 1A output. So will my phone just charge faster or it can damage my battery?
Thanks for your reply.

No, it won't damage the battery. It will charge faster than before (when using a damaged charger) but only to the maximum current (i.e. charging speed) the system allows.
You just can't buy a charger with less than 1A because it won't be able to feed the battery and therefore can get too hot and even melt or fire up.
Okey, thanks a lot for your help

Hello all I came home today and saw that my charger was no longer working so I made another charger with an extra PSP charger I had lying around I tested it an I got the charging light to turn on .... my question is will this affect the battery in a negative way or can I use a 5v 2a charger for a 5v 3a device ... . I imagine it might slow down charging speeds .... but will it kill my battery? ??

hello
My stock charger is us for galaxy s4 (samsung regular charger)
and then I found this (link above) with 2.1A
is it matter charging via 2.1A and not 2A? what is the different? it will charge faster/slower?
thanks
In Stock kernel there is current limit 1.9A. So everything above it, will be the same as 1.9A.
In reality, you will find that even 2.1A charger doesn't supply even 1.9A. Chinese charges definitely don't supply current thay claim. And beware of them - you may fry your device by such cheap charger.
Also, it heavily depends on USB cable as well. It has to be very short and very thick.
I have a Mediabridge car adapter that has a 2.1 amp charger on it. When I charge my S4 with it it barely charges faster than the 1 amp charger does. I think it charges at either 1.3 or 1.7 amps, sorry can't remember exactly.

How do you measure the exact amperage that it charges at?

I don't have the equipment to measure it exactly. So what I did was charge my phone from 50% for 40 minutes on my stock Samsung wall charger and then recorder the percentage it increased. I then took that number and assumed it was charging at 2 amps and used it as a baseline. Then I did the same test with my car adapter and recorded the results. The I figured out the percentage difference and came up with me estimates. I just don't have the data in front of me anymore but I remembered it being somewhere between 1.3 or 1.7.

The stock charger is fast at charging this phone. On my s3 it took forever . I would stick with stock

Chargers, power supplies, etc, don't "decide" the amps that go to a device - the device "draws" a certain amount. Just because a lamp is plugged into a 20amp circuit in your home doesn't mean 20 amps are going to be shoved through the bulb.
So if, as sorg says, the phone is only going to "ask" for 1.9a, you could plug it into a 5 amp charger and it would make no difference.

You already got your answer above.
No, your phone will NEVER charge faster than 1900 until a developer comes along and figures out how to hack the system to allow this. And it would be a potentiallly STUPID idea to charge faster than Samsung has deemed safe.

I have note2 right now which have to go. But I'll keep my office charger which is 2A.
Can I safely use it to charge n5?
Sent from SGH-i317m
Using chargers with a high power (A) is no problem, the phone will not "take" more than it needs.
Sorry for the poor english ^^
The issue is if charging IC can handle 2A current or not. I dying wanna fry it lol
I would think it should not be an issue while 2A ICs are widely used in our days, but "better be safe then sorry".

I charge mine with my xz charger 1.5a no problem
The charging block that comes with the Nexus 5 is 5.0 volt, 1.2 amp.

While AFAIK there's no 1.5A ICs, than its 99% safe to say they using 2A nominal IC.
Thanks guys

If using a different charger was a problem they would have made the connection something other than micro USB.

Not really. Charging current depends on IC installed, not the connector itself.

From what I understand, you could use a 10A charger and still be fine. The handset will not take any more than it needs. Basically, the charger doesn't push current, the phone pulls it.

Thats correct and nothing else. No way to destroy a phone with too much A because it just takes as much it needs. The 2A on an charger is just the maximum power output. It is physical impossible to PUSH the ampere in the device.
I just received my One+ today. I went to charge the device as it was at 38%, but the cable they sent was non-functioning. I'm using another cable but it is charging extremely slowly. Is this normal. Will it only charge with "their" micro-USB cable faster?
I have a repair request in to the One+ people, but don't know how long that will take until it is repaired.
Can anyone recommend a better cable to use or one that doesn't charge so slowly?
Thank you in advance.

Yeah its pretty normal. Their cable and charging brick charge the phone extremely quickly. If you have a longer cable it will charge slower. For 6ft cables you need a 22 guage wire and for 3ft cables, a 24 guage wire should work as well. Just remember the lower the gauge, the thicker the wire.

The opo included charger and cable charge really fast. Around 1000ma while other cables I've got with the same charger range from 200-500 ma. I used 3c toolbox to view the reported charge
Are there any people here using a different charger in order to charge the Z3 a little quicker? As it is, it takes forever to fully charge the battery, especially during the last 5%. I want to try the turbo charger from Motorola but I'm concerned of ruining my battery.

The stock charger is pretty fast for me already. What is ur charger's amperage?
Sent from my D6653 using XDA Free mobile app
I use the 2.0A charger that came with my Tab S. It charges reasonably fast. However, if you use the magnetic charging cable, it'll charge the phone faster.
I bought the motorola quick charger. I definitely don't plan on using it all the time. It'll be a travel charger where I might need to add some charge in a pinch.
There's a thread documentind the rate at which different charging methods charge at. I put my Turbo Charger results at the bottom.
