Alternative to fast charging for z5? - Xperia Z5 Accessories

Hello all,
I've recently ordered for my xperia z5 and z3 compact the following accessories for fast charging:
LG Fast-Charger MCS-H05ED
100-240V
50-60Hz
5V / 1.8A
+
Logilink CU0058 microUSB (USB 2.0 -- Max. Transfer Rate: 480 Mbit/s)
Does it replace the SONY UCH-10? Or is this better than UCH-20 at rapid charging?
I really hope I didn't messed up with this order, don't want any malfunctions on z5 - but original chargers weren't available in my country for same day delivery so I had to improvise based on tech specs.

it is only 1.8 A you need at least 2.1A to notice anything faster.

Look for a Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 (QC 2.0) certified charger.

@z5techno
You have to upgrade your charger. Fast charger not means higher ampere. Fast charger means higher WATT (ampere * voltage).
UCH-10 has 9v*1.700ma or 12v*1.250ma, 15.3WATT
You can use higher than this WATT, charger will adjust the max voltage and ampere that phone requires.
You can buy QC3.0 charger for future purpose, it can work with QC2.0 compatible phones. AUKEY and Blitzwolf are good choices.

Thank you for the detailed answer, @sceryavuz !
Until I upgrade to uch 10, I'll keep this LG charger - I'm pleased with this charging the phone.

Sony has locked maximum current at 1.5A so you won't notice the difference. With UCH20 I got 2h to charged my device, the time downs to 1.5h with UCH10 (QC2.0 supports). The result is same as UCH10 when I uses Anker PowerPort+ 18W 9V-2A (is my current adapter since it costs a half of UCH10 with better specs).

I use the iPad Adapter Charger for the Z5 and it gives me pretty fast charging speed

Powerbank that support Quick Charge 2.0

Any good powerbank out there. At least a 10000 mah above.
To be able to use fast charging feature in Note 4.
Actually that sounds like it would be really cool if it exists, I'd also be interested in knowing if there's a powerbank that supports quick charge. I've held off on picking up a powerbank for a while now, but if something like this is even possible it would probably get me interested, it'd be pretty awesome to be able to just plug in to a backup battery and have it charge up the phone with quickcharge speed ;P I wouldn't be surprised to find out it's not possible though... Anyone know?
Think the dual voltage 5 and 9 volt needed for quickcharge wil be a problem to design a powerbank with a feature like that. I don't say it's impossible but probably won't be cheap or small formfacfor
Yea. Is cool if fast charge powerbank then bring out to fast charge note 4. Lol.
There is this compact power bank (and it supports quick charging itself within 3 hours - via 2.1A input - at least on paper)
APE MP5200Q on Alibaba (not aliexpress)
Weight: 132g
Input: 5V/2.2A
Outport: 5V/3.5A,9V/1.5A,12V/1.5A
3 output ports: 2 USB ports and 1 built-in micro USB cable
Over-charge/discharge, over-current,short protection
Quick Charge output port: output 9V/1.5A or 12V/1.5A on Quick Charge state
Battery Cell type: Samsung Li-ion 18650
Quick charge 2.0: Class A
and it looks good too!
the only missing thing to make it a perfect power bank, would be 15W wireless charging capability...
Please everyone do say what Power bank you have
& how much time does it take to fully charge a Drained battery
So we know which charges how many times, Once or twice or more ....
Thank you all
I have aukey quick charge the silver 10400mah model its charge lg g4 same as qc2.0 wall charger I have mah meter
I also have an aukey but the PB-T2 model 12000mAh. Have quick charge USB outlet and also a normal 1A USB outlet. Has a 2A microusb input for charging an a so-so LED light built in. A bit heavy and slightly longer than the Note 4 in size. Cons: I would have preferred a 2.1A instead of the 1A USB outlet for fast charging other non quick charge devices.

As above Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 external battery packs are pretty good. They do them in different sizes and go above 10000mah
BlitzWolf looks good.
banggood.com are doing pre order, to be sent out 20th November.
From a store rep..
We use the newer chip FP6600 that not only supports QC but also standard fast charging, the Aukey does charge at QC speeds with their THY100 but will not fast charge other devices such as your iPhone at fast speeds. BlitzWolf's newer IC provides compatibility beyond just QC devices. The battery of the BlitzWolf is is LG and also of a higher standard than Aukeys domestic Chinese brand batteries. In terms of safety and compatibility this is one step ahead of Aukeys 6 month old version.

Hmm... we have Note 4's a removable battery is more compact and supports quick charge. Just have to get a battery charger that supports it. There would also be less power loss because it would be more efficient than transferring energy from one battery to another. Just my opinion.

Safe to use 25W Turbocharger with USB-C adapter?

I've got about five of the 25W Turbochargers that I used to power my Moto X Pure. I've got some adapters to use for the USB-C connection but I'm worried about whether the 25W Turbocharger is too much for the Moto Z simply because it came with a 15W Turbocharger.
Can someone shine some light on this?
Thank you.
By using an adapter I believe your charging speed will be reduced anyway. I don't believe turbocharging works using an adapter.
The technologies are different. The Moto X Pure "Turbo Charger" used Quick Charge 2.0 (qualcomm) and the max wattage is derived by upping the volts to 12 and amps to 2.15 ~ 25 watts. USB-C doesn't allow this. Qualcomm uses the data lines to signal the voltage changes. Your 25W Turbo charger also does 5V @2.8A (max) - and the USB-C spec only supports 5V. The Z TurboCharger is just a standard USB-C charger that can put out 3A at 5V.
If you use a converter on your 25W Turbo Charger, it will never supply more then the [email protected] 2.85A, but likely less as the phone may only see it as a standard charger. It will charge faster as it probably will supply about 2Amps. But it probably won't be as fast as the USB-C Turbocharger. USB-C has extra signaling lines that the older Micro-USB doesn't have.

Thank you. I picked up an Anker adapter and you're right. It does charge at a decent speed, I'm assuming it is getting the 2A - but definitely no TurboPower here.
I'm a little sad that I invested so much in chargers and backup battery packs that would Turbocharge my Moto X Pure.
I didn't realize USB-C was that much more than just a plug change.

Fast charger?

What non original charger I can use for fast charging? Sony's fast charger is so so expensive.

From reading on here you need a USB C PD charger and USB C to C cable - have a search as there's a thread on it. Should charge a tiny bit faster than QC 3.0.

I had to return my XZ3 for replacement (dodgy screen) whilst waiting for the replacement I ordered a Klearlook 57w PD charger and Anker USB C to C cable, phone came in today - charged it up and used Ampere to check levels and it was charging at a max of 2400mAh which I believe is slightly higher than QC 3.0? Took it from 18 to 80% in roughly 50 minutes, much better than standard! Cost £23 for both from Amazon.

Power Delivery providing a lot less than 15W charging. Hovering around 4.5v/1.8A

The 7 Pro is supposed to support 5v/3A, 15W charging from a Power Delivery charger, but I'm only seeing 4.5v/1.8A, which is about 8W slow charging.
Am I reading this wrong? What's the best/highest/fastest charging you've seen from a PD charger?

Your battery is above 50% and charging speed slows with increasing battery percentage. To determine maximum speed of USB PD for the OP7Pro you need to check at a lower charge level. Warp charge will also not charge with 30W all the way.
What battery app is that?
Even with the OP charger once you get to 50-70% changing rate slows down by at least 50%, try when the phone is at 10% and then watch it for a couple minutes, that will tell you the max for that particular charger

It's the built in diagnostics. Dial *#808# in the OP Phone app.
Swipe to the second screen, "Device debugging", and there's one test for Normal Charger, and one for Fast Charger.

That's a great point, thanks! I'll try again from a lower charge state!
OnePlus has said it supports 15w PD while screen is off and 5v 1.5a while display is on.

I'm seeing the same thing. I tried three different USB PD chargers that I used on my Pixel XL. The highest charge current I saw was 1980mA. The battery was in the low to mid 30% range. I used the Ampere app. To check the accuracy of the app, I tried two things. 1. I used the stock Oneplus Warp charger and Ampere showed 5740mA (wow, 5.7A is kicking some butt!). 2. While using my Belkin USB-PD car charger, I noted the voltage and current coming from my bench power supply. The bench supply was outputting about 10W so an Ampere reading of about 8W of energy into the phone made sense. I used three different cables too.
All my cables are USB-C to USB-C since all my PD chargers have a USB-C port on them. I see the standard for USB 3.1 has a max rating of [email protected] which can be done over a USB-A to USB-C cable. I wonder if the only way to get 15W into the phone (besides the Oneplus chargers) is to use a USB-A to USB-C cable with a charger that has a USB-A port and can support 3A? Edit: No, more research shows there there should be no problems with C-C. The Belkin PD car charger I have doesn't specifically say it supports [email protected], but the Anker AC USB charger does list [email protected] I can't get more than about 1900mA out of it even with the battery low.
I basically support all the users that OP failed this point to include proper USB PD function. Only 7.5w to 10w is supported without any dash or warp charger. Confirmed
should be fixed with 10.0.2
Power Delivery (PD) is very complex. For example the USB PD Revision 3 specification is 657 pages. Much of the complexity involves the negotiation protocols between chargers and phones or other devices. In cases where a compatible protocol can't be negotiated between a charger and phone the page 242 of the spec says: "Shall supply the default [USB 2.0], [USB 3.2], [USB Type-C 2.0] (USB Type-C®) or [USBBC 1.2] voltage and current to VBUS when a Contract does not exist (USB Default Operation)." That's my guess why people are seeing lower charging currents than advertised by the chargers.
The OP's charger has this interesting cryptic note on their Amazon page: "Rapid charge: USB-C charger delivers 45-watts of power to charge and recharge all of your important devices at a high speed with PD 3. 0 (5V/ 3a, 9V/ 3a, 12V/ 3a, 15V/ 3a, 20V/ 2. 25a) Note: USB adapter will not be able to trigger the PD protocol

Question Charger for S22 Ultra

Hi All,
I am not an expert and hence seeking suggestions.
I have Xiaomi 120W Power Adapter (with wireless which can also be used as wired) and wondering if I can use for the S22 Ultra (Snapdragon version).
Thanks
If the power supports USB PD PPS it will charge at up to 45 W. If it only supports USB PD it will charge up to 15 W. And if it doesn't support USB PD at all, it will charge between 5 and 10 W.
It should be noted on the power adapter itself whether it supports PPS
My Huawei 65W USB-C PD charger used with the Honor Magicbook 14 charges at a report "Superfast" rate but that means anything above 20W. Of course there isn't a measured difference between a 25W and a 45W charger according to GSM Arena so YMMV.
Thanks all. As per this article it does
Xiaomi 120W Power Adapter Supports QC5 and USB PD + PPS Over USB-A Port
Xiaomi 120W Power Adapter Supports QC5 and USB PD + PPS Over USB-A Port

Hopefully no damage to the phone.
Does "Super Fast Charging 2.0" mean it's charging at 45W?
What is it if it's just "Super Fast Charging"?
Only one of my many third party chargers seems to show 2.0

Superfast 2.0 means anything above 25W I believe.
Super Fast Charging I think is between 15 and 25W.
Both of these would be potential speeds, as the phones won't charge at max rate from 0-100%. The rate starts slow at 0%, rises slowly to max, then starts dropping between 60 and 80%, falling to 0 charge rate as the battery reaches 100%

Thanks. All these different standards get very confusing!
I would have expected my "Anker Powerport III 65W PPS charger" to show 2.0, but it doesn't. The "MINIX 66W Turbo 3-Port GaN Wall Charger" does.

I just learned this myself, - but check your cables. The S22U is rated for 20V input, so it checks with the cable to make sure the cable can supply the correct power. USB-C cables have chips in them to identify the cable and its capability. If you use the cable that came with the phone you might get different results. I did for sure.
The PowerPort II also doesn't output the right voltage for the S22 from what I can understand. So there is that.
