If it is 1 amp it should be fine!
If more, the phone should somehow limit it but you never know.

In my experience, using a tablet charger with a cell phone charged the battery faster than the cell phone charger, but the battery also discharged a lot faster. Your mileage may vary.

Is it okay to charge GS3 with .7 amp AC charger?

Hello,
I picked up a Samsung oem charger from eBay and noticed it differs in output amps in comparison to the wall charger that came with the phone. The charger bundled with the phone is rated at 1 amp, but the one I just bought is rated at .7 amp.
Is it okay to charge the phone with the .7 amp charger? I'm afraid the phone will think it is 1 amp and miss calculate the charge of the battery. I don't know if this is something to worry about or not so I thought I'd ask. Thanks.
Phone: Galaxy S3 SGH-t999
ROM: CM10 Stable
Charger Model Numbers
1 amp = ETA0U61JBE
.7 amp = ETA0U60JBE

It should work just fine. May take slightly longer to charge though.

I have a .7 amp plugged in next to my bed for overnight charges and it works just fine. It won't charge my tab2 to 100% though.

Will it really be that much longer in comparison to charging via USB? :cyclops:
Edit: USB via PC

Usb via pc is .5 amps

If it makes you feel any better I just received the OEM dock and it came with a 700mA charger not 1A. I agree that it won't charge as fast as a 1A charger but it shouldn't make that much of a difference.

It'll probably take 30% longer to fully charge with a .7 vs a 1amp

Quick charge mode and older ac-wall chargers
The store owner of where I bought my phone advised against using anything other than the charger that came with the phone. Mine is a Galaxy S4. Supposedly this came down from on high from Samsung. Supposedly, the phone does not differenciate between chargers and will try to pull max amperage when the wiring configuration matches a wall charger (looped data lines?).
For example, I have an old Galaxy S1 charger rated for 0.7 amps and my indicator app shows my phone pulling 1.9 amps through it when the cable is straight as can be. So far, I have not found this charger to become hot and there may be a possibilty of it catching fire since it is not designed for 2.1 amps that the phone is capable of pulling.
Someone I know used a car DC to USB adapter that was rated for under what the phone could pull and in short time the adapter itself either caught on fire or melted. Somewhere in between.
The phone will pull as much as it tests that the power chain can deliver and that is whether or not that power chain can safely deliver it. Proceed with caution.

Galaxy s4 charging very fast with stock charger

The charger is charging my s4 super fast. Will this mean my battery life will be shorter or is the stock charger very powerful?

I don't think it's the charger as my phone charges just as fast in the car, but I think these phones have a quick charge option when they are not connected to a pcm

It charges fast because it's charging at a rate of 2 amps instead of the standard 1 amp on most older phones. As long as you're using the stock charger and cable intended for the S4, it shouldn't have any negative effect on your battery life.

So it will charge fast and the battery will last long? That's a win win

[Q] Nexus Qi Charger for in Car use

Anyone know how the Qi charger knows its connected to the official wall adapter? Tried plugging it to my car charger and my Galaxy Note charger but wont start charging either way.

I wondered the same, mine will also only work with the supplied charger. Perhaps it's the amp output. Will be getting the new Asus QI charger delivered soon, will let you know if that is as fussy.

well, i gave up on it and returned the official qi charger. will look for aftermarket options.

how many amps does your car charger have? My aftermarket Qi only works with 1.2A and up.
