Can i charge my OP7 pro with a "regular" charger? - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi,
I just got my new OP7 pro that is replacing my samsung S8.
As i have S8 chargers and even older chargers (like for S6) I wonder if I can use "regular" charger / samsung S8 car charger / xiaomi power bank charger on my OP7 pro?
The warp charger is great but I have only one... and basically the most 2 issues I can think of is charging my OP 7 pro while driving (I have car charger for my old S8)
or while away, I have a xiaomi power bank charger.
So, I would like to know if:
1. is it possible? (probably if so it will charge slower... but it is ok)
2. will it damage my OP 7 pro battery in the long term?
3. Can i Use other USB-C cables?
Thanks for your help.

Charge with any cable. Only warp bank and cable will charge at full speed as you're aware.
So, 1 yes, 2 no 3 yes

And you can charge with DASH chargers too. I do this with my old Oneplus 3T charger and there is no problem. This is not fast as WARP but faster than regular chargers.

Great, thank you all for the answers.

Ordinary USB cables that support dash charging

I've read countless comments here about how dash charging requires a compatible charger and cable. However. I recently made an unexpected discovery that certain cables sold on Amazon support dash charging with the Oppo branded VOOC chargers (but apparently not the OnePlus branded charger). I discovered this by accident when I plugged this cable into my Oppo charger:
Cable Matters USB-C Cable (USB A to USB C Cable/USB C to USB Cable) in Black 6.6 Feet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S8GU544/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_dkTJBbN069J3Z
Using this cable I get the beep, the blue light and the dash charging icon, and my OP6 does in fact charge at the faster rate. Wondering if it was a fluke, I bought a second cable and got the same results. This is great since these cables are 6 feet long, thin and flexible, and appear to be well made.
Now here's where it gets really weird: both cables only dash charge when plugged into the Oppo branded wall charger. When connected to the OnePlus charger they only charge at the normal rate. The Oppo charger looks exactly the same only with different branding. I do not know why these cables seem to work with one but not the other. I cant think of why they would support dash charging at all except that maybe they're made for the Chinese domestic market.

Is it safe for your cellphone?
From what I understand, OP has a way of knowing if one of their cables is connected. If using a generic cable, it will default to slow charging.
Seeing that OP fast charging is based off of OPPO fast charging, it should be fine.
I would assume the OPPO brick doesn't care who's cable you're using as long as it can support the higher charging rate
Ordered both, the USB/C cable was just delivered, 3ft is long enough. Found it on Amazon for $5 and the OPPO charger on eBay for $10, that's about a 1/2 price of Oem from OP site.($8 and $20 respectively) It's always good to have a spare 'just in case'.
Interesting find.

I think it's a sure bet since OnePlus and OPPO are under the same corporate umbrella. They might even have the same R&D for accessories.

I have read people recommending to get Oppo VOOC charger brick, as it supports Dash Charge.
Oppo and OnePlus are same companies.
Yes, its recommended to just buy oppo charger / cables. Both are the same and support dash (same name with vooc) . It's alot cheaper too.

Sometimes its the only option.
I am in Australia and the only charger with Australian pins is available through Oppo.
OnePlus does not manufacture AU chargers currently.
I have the official oneplus dash charger and the dash charging is activated with all the cables I have (an old huawei cable, and 2 generic ones) , but it took 3 to 4 seconds for the phone to activate dash charging while it is almost instantaneous with the official cable.
act OPPO and ONEPLUS is made in China and same parent company...instead of dash charges, OPPO call it VOOC
What about OPPO rapid (aka dash) car chargers for OnePlus?
If you can wait for shipping from China:
$8 - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-O...pter-Cable-For-OnePlus-6-5T-5-3T/223031157260
$13 - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-O...e-C-Cable-For-Oneplus-3T-5-5T-6/263870632520?
Perhaps this $12 VOOC will work? https://www.amazon.com/TOOGOO-Type-C-Charger-Carregador-iPhone/dp/B07HFNB3HZ/
Hi all
Thanks very much to the o.p. for providing this solution to wanting a longer-than-OnePlus's-maximum-150cm (4ft 11in) length cable that actually fast-charges...

I'll be purchasing a "Cable Matters" 6.6ft cable based on the 1st post's suggestion, however if I can avoid buying the "Oppo branded VOOC charger" I would.

I was hoping to clear this up before proceeding with the order.
Anyone else able to get non-OnePlus OEM cables fast-charging with the OnePlus oem power supply wall charger?
For Indian Users:-
SKYVIK Blaze Nylon Braided Type C Dash Charging Cable for One Plus 3 3T 5 5T 6 6T (5V/4A)-2 Metre https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07GTX2F61/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_yIy7BbQMREE97
This Cable supports Dash charging and it is considerably long as compared to stock Cable.
Has anyone found a 10ft cable that is compatible with warp charging?
BlitzWolf BW-P12 supports dash 20 on my op6t in case anyone needs a powerbank with Warp charge. they do not advertise it anywhere, it just works. Also the advertised low power charge does not work.

Slow battery recharge

Hi guys, can I use an HTC One m7 charger to recharge the OP7 Pro? ( HTC charger 5V -1A and OPT/7 pro cable).
This to preserve the battery over time.

You can use any USB charger you want for that purpose, the OP7 will fall back to the highest compatible charging rate the powerbrick is capable of (Qualcomm Quick Charge is not supported by the OP7, and in case of a USB PD powerbrick that would be 5V/3A), in your case 5V/1A.

I tried to use the charger from an Ampere, but it seems to continue to come off and come back on all the time. I would not wear the battery with the warp charge since I would like to keep it at least 2 years, do you recommend?

Strange, maybe there is a lightly higher minimum charging speed unless it detects it's connected to a USB port... Do you maybe have a 1.4A or 2A charger flying around to test that? Or try with a different USB cable and the 1A powerbrick?
I just did my first Warp Charge and the phone didn't get nearly as warm as my old Nexus 6P did get despite charging with double the current. What did get warm instead was the charger. Hope that helps maintaining battery life...
No you need to use the new charger and cord

No you'll need the red cord and new device for power outlet. Is not designed to use their warp charging unless you use it. You can also use a 2.4 amp one that's used for any phablet/tablet but it won't charge in 30 minutes.

Compatible Chargers?

Will any 65W charger work for Super VOOC charging or does it have to be the specific Oppo charger? Anyone have any experience? I rather leave the charger it comes with new in the box for selling purposes and would pick one up on Amazon if it works with a regular 65w charger
I try to use with MacBook adapter 85w, chardiging working normaly, fast like qc2.0 But original super Fast 2-3 times less, i recomend use original chardger, its azing expirirence to chardge phone 5 min to 25%

Yeah I found it is proprietary for Super VOOC. Although 65W, it needs to deliver it at 6 amps & 10 volts to get the super fast charging. No on the market charger has that option (even smart 65w chargers) to deliver the power at that rate... if I keep the phone long enough, I'll just get one from aliexpress.
You can buy oneplus chardger, i try with old (op5) oppo show vooc chardge. And with new (op 7t pro) chardger i have super vooc. Its the same.

Oneplus Warp charger 30T charges at VOOC, not super VOOC, for me
hello
have a nice day
Would the OnePlus Warp Charge 65 Power Adapter (https://www.oneplus.com/uk/product/oneplus-warp-charge-65-power-adapter) be apple to charge an Oppo Find X2 Pro with the same speed as the original charger?
15-18w charger from samsung charges fast too without melting the battery like 65w.

Charging regular vs warp

hello, I just got the oneplus 8 5g. I want to leave a charger at work and one at home which is a macbook pro charger. how long would it take to charge fully using the macbook pro charger? It would be for weekend use only. and is a Long charger since my outlet is a good 5 or 6 feet away. I really don't want to buy another charger so I'm okay with the slower charge, I'm just curious.
thank you

So I haven't tested this but according to Apple. The charger is a 60W for MacBooks and supports 27W and 12W charging through USB.
So either it will charge similar to warp charging or about half as fast (maybe 40mins for half battery)? That said.
As it's a laptop charger rather than a phone charger make sure to keep an eye on it. Although I believe they're made to see the charging limit of a device it could make the battery hotter than usual.
Good Luck!

Hi,
I got a MacBook charger at home too, it can fast charge your phone but since it's not OEM certified I won't risk to damage the battery. Fast charging can be dangerous for your battery health so I use it only with OEM provided tools.
Have a good day

Question Charger ?

First Ever pixel phone and nowadays don't come with charger what charger you guys recommend. original google or something from amazon .
Also i only have a 15watt at home
Need a PPS charger for full speed. At least 30W.
The Google one is fine if you want official.
I did order the Google charger
Anyways, I never had wireless charging. Which wireless charger is good and reasonably priced - the Google one is not.

I rarely fast charge anything, I normally baby my batteries and just use very low wattage chargers, but I do own an Anker 3-port (2x USB-C 100W charge, and one USB-A, whatever that's capable of). I mostly use it with my tablet when I need to, but I've used it with my phone once or twice.
Using an Anker Nano II 30W charger here (PD/PPS), although most of the time I charge my phone through my laptop (C>C) to keep heat down.
Question would a s21 ultra charger fast charge on pixel 7?
Would my OP9 charger and cable be fine?
Since it limits the Wattage anyways
I think that with these 3 news that dedicate an article on the best chargers for our P7 pro, I think you should find your choice
xda-developpers => These are the best chargers, cables, and other accessories to buy for the Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro in 2022
Android Authority => The best Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro chargers
AndroidPolice => The best Google Pixel 7 wireless chargers in 2022
I have a OnePlus charger 65w and a couple of Huawai Mate 20 pro chargers 40w (I believe). Will these charge the pixel on full speed? I'm awaiting Pixel 7 pro

Yes. The Warp 65W charger supports USB PD 3.0 PPS up to 45W (phone will charge at no more than 23W)
OnePlus Warp Charge 65 Power Adapter NA
www.oneplus.com
It is ridiculous that these companies can get away with selling a high price device without a charging block. Here is your brand new car, you will need to bring a gas can if you want to drive it off the lot. We do not supply gasoline as the time of purchase.
I recommend these 3 chargers:
Google charger, 30 W, USB-C only, 29 € (I own this one, works well, uses PPS, but makes some tiny noise sometimes)
Samsung charger, USB-C + USB-A, 35 W, 23 €, uses PPS as well
Wicked Chili charger, USB C + USB-A, 33 W, 25 €, GaN (I own this one, too, it also uses PPS, it's very small, but I'm not sure if it's available everywhere. In Germany, it is.)
I've got this Anker charger https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B016LPMFUA
But I've been charging the Pixel 7 Pro with an old LG Nexus 5x charger Which seems to charge a little faster than the Anker.
I was a little hesitant plugging the chargers in at first but after asking around ye old internet it seems both chargers will do the job fine for now. I'm at a loss which replacement charger to buy next though as there are so many to choose from.

This is the one I have, bought for my S21 Ultra last year. Supports 25W so I would hope it charges the S7 Pro fast enough. Ridiculously fast charging doesn't appeal to me, as it has a big negative impact on the battery. I charge my phones overnight at normal speed.
I have an Anker Nano II Pro (20W) in my travel bag but for overnight charging at home i use an Anker power strip with build in USB A ports that charges slowly in conjunction with adaptive charging.
