Charge the Int'l Note using 2A charger

I have an unused Galaxy Tab 7 Plus charger, which output 2A instead of 1A that the original Note charger output.
Is it OK to use the GT7 charger with higher output to charge the Note? If yes, this will save me buying another Note charger.

It's okay as long the voltages are the same. The phone will take 1 amp of current and the rest alone.
I am using a 2amp charger from hp touch pad with no issues for months.
Edit : my car chargers are 2amp too

Thanks for the info.
Both the Galaxy Tab and Note chargers have 5V output, with only differences in Amperage, which is 2A for Tab and 1A for Note.
So looks like I am good to go!

Yes.

yeh its fine, the phone will only take as much current as it needs, the 2amp rating is just the maximum posible output from the charger.

Dont use your note 1 charger

I doubt if anyone is as lazy as me but when I first got my note 2 the other day I didnt bother unpacking everything and just charged my phone on my old note 1 charger. I was very disapointed on how long it was taking to charge so I checked the specs written on the side of chargers and noticed the old charger has a 1amp output and the new charger has a 2amp output. Just thought id share this as I know alot of you are previous note 1 owners .

If it was legit .7 amp charger, then it'd only take 3.1 mA/.7 = 4.4 hours to fully charge.
So something is wrong with your charger or widget.
I highly recommend a widget like battery monitor widget so you can observer how fast your phone is charging with whatever charger/cable combo you are using.
Some of my old note 1 chargers are happy, like my griffin car charger. Others, like my t-mobile 1A charger, definitely aren't.
YMMV.

[Q] Better to use the 2amp or use a 1amp charger?

My wifes Galaxy S3 came with a 1amp charger. My note 2 came with a 2amp. Would it be better to charge the note 2 with the 1amp charger vs the 2amp? I remember reading a post that said the 1amp charger would take longer but the battery would hold that charge longer/better than what the 2amp would provide. The 2amp would charge it faster but the charge wouldn't be as good/longer lasting.
What do you guys think?
Thanks

Either one will work. I would use the 2 amp one. Just because the charger outputs 2amps it doesn't mean the phone will draw all 2amps.

the 2 amp charger won't get drawn for all 2 amps, but it will get drawn more than 1 amp. charging slower (with the 1 amp) won't mean it will keep the charge any better

if you need speed use the 2amp. if you don't need speed you can extend the life of your battery by using the 1amp. (slower charge is healthier for the battery in the long run though not likely measurable by the likes of us)

There is a reason Samsung included the 2amp charger. The Note 2 has a huge battery. The 2 amp charger will charge your note 2 faster. The device draws the amount of amps it needs. The charge is held the same way, doesn't matter the amps. Im sure Samsung wouldn't include a charger that would damage/negatively effect the battery.

[Q] New Android Convert From Crapple. Please Help Me Find Chargers!!!

So no matter where I look, I cannot find good chargers for my GN2. Here I was thinking that I'd be able to use my 10+ white brick crapple charging blocks at 1A and here my awesome GN2 uses a 2A.
Now I understand that Apple swayed away from yet another standard and the pins need to be shorted in almost all car chargers in order for anything other than an apple device to accept an AC charge. Awesome.
I'm very happy that this huge battery needs a 2A charger but I'm back at square one. I need chargers... I need a lot. Please somebody point me in the right direction on what every android peep is doing to charge their phones on fast chargers... I am mostly in need of a car charger. Every forum I look at, the thread ends with no definitive answer...
Much thanks.

This is the charger that I use for my car charging needs. Ive had it for a couple if years and it has worked flawlessly. It also has an extra usb port for charging a 2nd device. I havent had any quality issues with mine like some of the reviewers have claimed. This works brilliantly with my Note 2. It can output up to 4 amps and charges 2 Note 2's with max screen brightness and GPS with no problem.

u have to ask but radio shack has a decent one and they are having a sale. and no i dont work for them lol. its a 2A 4port charger. also keep in mind the 1A will work its just not a rapid charger. as an over night charger it will still have enough.

Needs to be moved to Q&A section

Yes.....I use a 2A charger from my GTAB 10.1. Its charges faster too.

lots of smart phones, like n7000, takes 1A(1000mA) from charger whether 1000mA or 2000mA charger.
So you don't really fasten your charging untill use custom kernel that enables that upper current(like 1250mA.. etc. But that not recommended.
But yes,u can use note 2charger for note 1.

yes, you can but, mostly it will reduce battery life!

Wrooong. 1A charger and 2A charger effects are same on n7000battery. Phone takes only 1A max as needed from both(in untouched kernel about current).
Charging cable's isolation,quality and length effects the current, and may slowingdown charging procedure.

So maybe with external charger we will avoid 3hours of charging?
Do you recomend a external charger like this?

Nope ! Max charge current is fixed by the Galaxy Note itself, one IC (SMB328) is programmed via I²C bus to do so.
So only a piece of softawre can speed up charging but don't forget that slow charge reduce heat increasing battery life span by the same way.

not even with external charger??
