Has anyone had any success with after market rapid charging solutions? I see the OEM model number of the charger that came with the phone is ETA0U61JBEGSTA.
Has anyone found a generic equivalent for this charger? The last 2 amazon ones I bought were really slow charging & took over 4hrs to fully charge.
I use the monoprice 2.1 amp charger it works great. It may damage your battery but to me it doesn't matter I'll buy a new battery in a year for $15 if I have too.

It has 4 ports 2 of them are 2.1amp and the others are 500mah I believe so I can plug in my ipod as well
Also bought their 2.1 amp car charger

Got it for $6.50 from Planet Mobile and fulfilled by Amazon. Looks and works perfectly.

6.50? very cheap
After seeing this article http://www.androidcentral.com/acces...mium-charger-rapid-charges-android-phones-too last year, I picked up a couple for $10ea. from an online source that was going out of business. They are available for ~$15 today. This is the only thing BB offers that rocks.
For an inexpensive but quality solution, try Monoprice.
Edit: If I forget to plug in at night, in the time it takes me to get ready to leave for work, I am at 90% or better.
Just FYI, for those commenting about using chargers higher than 1A (1000 mAh), the stock kernel will only allow 1A of current to reach the battery regardless if the charger is of a higher capacity. However there are custom kernels (such as Perseus) that allow this value to be overridden, so that the battery can be charged with more than 1000 mAh of current. It is recommended to not charge the battery with a value higher than 0.7 of the battery's total capacity. For the stock 2100 mAh battery, you will want to set the charging value to 1470 mAh or less.

It wont damage your device. If you havent altered stock parameters than it wont draw more power than 1 amp

I seem to remember seeing there was a cable mod to make the S3 charge faster? actually pull in more juice quicker? As I recall you had to modify the USB cable with a resistor in the right place?
I have plugged my S3 in a 2.1amp charger and I don't see it charging any faster than the 1.0amp charger. My wife's iPhone 4S however charges MUCH faster on the 2.1amp charger vs the 1.0amp charger
I'd like to figure out a way to make the S3 charger more quickly using a 2.1amp (or 1.0amp) charger if that's possible.... but I didn't book mark the thread when I saw it and can't find it again
I'm about to buy one of the i9300 compatible external batteries, such as the Anker Astro 2, Anker Astro 3 or one of the Powergen brand (The 12000 mAh one looks AWESOME). But before I do that, I was wondering if the charge ratio from this kind of batteries to the device is similar to the PC USB (Which takes forever) or the AC charger (That would be very nice).
The aim is to avoid running out of power in a long trip with heavy use of the device.
Anyone of you have experience with this kind of stuff? any recommendations?
Thanks for your time guys.
It should be similar to the charge rate of the wall charger. The astro3 has dual 5v 2A outputs and the astro2 has a 5v 1A and a 5v 2A output. The stock wall wart outputs 5v 1A.

I recently bought this for traveling:
Anker® Astro3E Mobile Battery Pack 10000mAh
I'm very happy with it, the charging is fast and the capacity seems to be as advertised. Not too big, and even looks pretty nice

The retail charger that comes with the Moto X charges the phone three to four times faster than after market or other phone's chargers. Two questions:
Why is this?
What technical information about the phone/charger do I need to buy replacement chargers that have the same fast charge capacity?
Thanks!
Taken from Anand's review:
"The Moto X comes with a dual-USB port 850 mA charger, like the previous revision of Motorola devices. In practice I've seen the Moto X reliably pull closer to 1 A from the Moto X bundled charger.
What's interesting however is that the Moto X can charge up to the maximum BC1.2 rate of 1.5A. If you use that kind of charger, it charges impressively fast, around 2.3 hours. "
So when I look for chargers I want one that can provide up to 1.5A? Are there any other caveats needed to make it draw that much? I have a feeling my other chargers theoretically can pull that much but don't for compatibility reasons?
Nope. Just look for one that outputs at least 1.5 amps. More amps will not hurt the phone as the phone will only 'request' the amperage or can handle. Ipad certified chargers are typically rated for 2 amps or greater. Be aware though that if it's a dual USB charger and you plug something into the second plug, you most likely won't be getting the full amperage on both.

Thanks a lot! On a similar note, I have a usb car charger that plugs into the cigarette lighter receptacle. Do I also want to find I one with 1.5A+ output?
Charging faster isn't necessarily always a good thing - remember that a byproduct of quicker charging is more heat - and in the car, especially if you're running Gmaps, etc you can hit the thermal limits so it'll actually stop charging until the battery cools.
I figure there's gotta be a reason besides price that Moto didn't ship a charger without 1.5a support.
I have the "andru" charger that is like $25 on amazon and its one or the fast type chargers. Probably not the cheapest but its a cool looking charger. Lots of friends have them too and love them since Google gave them out at Google I/o

If you can afford the time, I'd recomend a slower charger. Slower charger means less heat which is better for the (non-replaceable) battery.
Hy everybody, I think this is the first time I'm posting in the forum. I don't know if this is too old for a thread, but I've lost my charger (feel really bad about it) and I'm now charging with an universal 0.7A charger. However I'd like to find a Motorola branded charger again, id anyone knows a place where I could buy in Europe? I've checked ebay and couldn't find one that I can be sure it's coming form Motorola. If I cannot find one like that, I guess it'll be ok to buy a 1A charger also universal, based on the discussions here?
I have few other 2A+ USB power supply (Kensington, Anker, Samsung, Apple) and all work 100%.
What do you use?
The stock one, the extra nexus charger sold on Google play (the square one) and a nexus orb. All work well. I tried the nexus 5 glass plate, but the G3 slides off of it too easily. Ironically, the orb, which did not work well with the N4 because the N4 slid off of it, works well with the G3... If you couldn't tell, I've had a few nexus devices.

Weird my nexus orb slow charges my G3 so I don't use it.
I have some anker and Samsung 2a chargers that charge my G3 super SLOW. Idk what I've tried lots of cables too. The only ones that seem charge my G3 fast are the stock LG cables.
Nexus ONE

After few years of using experience, some USB cables, especially longer than 2 meters, have higher electrical resistance which cuts down transferring voltage.
I must disagree . I order3d a quality 10 ft cable and it did not affect charge time. Buy a good cable and a good charger and you will be set.
AWESOME G3
The cable does have to do with the charge speed as well. I've tested many cables with my Note 3 and the app Galaxy Charging Current. I've noticed cheap cables do not allow high speed charging.
All the cables I own are high quality cables that charge my Note 3 and S4 at 1800mah. I do not understand why the lg charges so slow with them.

I use a Ps vita charger and it charges extremely fast compared to all other stock chargers I've ever had for any android phone. It's so fast that I am concerned if this is healthy for my battery or phone. I checked the specs and both charger adaptor and it is exactly alike. If you guys arnt familiar play station vita chargers have a big adaptor similar to an xbox power cord but on a smaller scale. Anybody willing to give any insight. If this charge is safe to be used with android phone it could easily be the greatest corded charger by far

I use the Anker 40w 5-Port Charger. It works fine for all of my needs. I am also very pleased with the Anker 24w Dual Port Car Charger.

This works the best for me as well. I use the 40w 5-Port with my wireless charger and it will charge pretty fast. The Power IQ is great.
I'm looking for something other than the stock charger that will charge my Pixel just as fast as the charger that came with it. I've tried a few but none have come close to the charging speed of the OEM charger. Are there any specific chargers that anyone would recommend over others. Especially if it's a fast charging wireless. My old wireless Samsung charger wouldn't work at all.
iPad pro 2018 replacement charger should hit the same speed since it's USB-PD 18w
