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

Isn't it just a USB power plug ?
If so it will be surelly faster than charging from your PC but I wouldn't pay 17 dollars for it. I mean, it's identical to the s2 orignal charger only with a removable usb cabble right ?
That looks like the charger for my old Captivate. My SGS2 charger does not look like that. OEM chargers should be faster than generic chargers because Samsung hardware doesn't allow the generic ones to charge as fast.
Yeah you are right but why they have called it a Rapid charger ????

It looks like a scam!
if you have your samsung original charger a custom kernel you might want to change the USB voltage settings while charging.
The problem with fast charging it is because it reduce the battery life. Its cool to charge the phone fully in no time but in short-mid term it is not something you should do
doesnt harm the phone or battery???

Not on short term.
But if you do that everyday the battery will suffer and will loose effective power.
Also if you force an higher usb port voltage on the phone make sure you dont use a computer usb port as electrical issues may occurs.

The sgs2 doesn't even use the oem at full capacity (1000Mah) it only chages @ 450 Mah because of samsung's software limiting the input. Use a custom kernel such as siyah to enable faster charging @ 650 Mah which speeds up the charging to about 2-3hrs

mate the best cure for slow charging times is a desktop charger and a spare battery you can even take it to the next level and get
2x 2000mah batteries
1x genuine samsung desktop battery charger/stand
thats what i do and its so nice not having to wait the 3+ hours it takes from empty to max , i abuse the phone , then just swap batterys and put the empty one on charge
seriously samsung gave us a removeable battery and a micro sd slot something thats getting rare these days in high end phones so grab a spare battery and a memory card and make the most of them lmao
edit
i spent approx £50 on batterys and a charger from amazon and its the best thing i done i literally never have to have my phone plugged in at all
Mate..how much time desktop charger takes for 2000mh battery ????

it will take approx 3-4 hours from flat to full , if you have 2x 2000mah batterys one can be charging while your using the other one
its what i do and it works great

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.
Im looking for a dock/charger that will charge my phone plus a spare battery including thicker extended batteries like my hyperion 4200.It would also be awesome if I could charge my phone with a case on it. I dont want a charger that will charge any slower than the stock charger. Can anyone recommend a dock ?
Griffin 2A chargers!

Thats a dock? where can i find it?
Unless you also root and install a kernel with a "fast charge" option, a 2amp charger will do you no good; it will charge just as fast as the stock 1amp charger.
I bought a 4 port charger by Skiva. It's a little expensive but it works really well. It's a 4A charger.

There was an article a while back by android central that the blackberry playbook charger will charge an android phone faster than the stock android charger. But it's not a dual charger.

I think most blackberry chargers are 1amp or above and samsung oem is like 750ma I believe...

I was wondering if I'd be causing my phone any harm charging it with my nexus 7 charger? It seems to charge super slow with my Samsung charger and my nexus charger can have my phone charged up under 2 hrs. It's insanely fast so just looking to be cautious with my phone.

I have a Nexus 7, too. The chargers have the same output, so you should be able to use them interchangeably. They should also charge in the same amount of time, so it makes me think something is wrong with your Samsung charger.
How much longer does it take with your Samsung charger?
That's strange, both chargers take the same amount of time to charge for me...

I have a Sony Xperia Z1 and I find it quite hard to charge.. The problem is, when i am using waze/gps in car my charger is not able to charge device and it is still loosing power. (same problem with N4 or HTC One)
Is there any good (not expensive) charge that does the job? Thank you very much
It's not the price of the charger that is important, it's the output (measured in Amps).
You need to find charger that has an output of 2 amps or more.
Anker make some very very good ones, they are high quality and not very expensive.

i have this for almost a year http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Ericsson-Original-AN401-Handsets/dp/B0042AP7F2 even before i had the xperia z1 and i am completely satisfied.
The gps is running and sometimes data too and the battery in the worst case scenario stays the same.
And you'll be able to charge faster using the magnetic cable from my experience

Faster using a pc usb socket? It should make no difference with a charger.
