What charger to pick? - General Accessories

Hi i recentl bought Xiaomi mi note 3 and it came with wall charger by xiaomi(3A charger)
My phone supports quickcharge 3.
The problem is that the charger came is chinese's socket and i live in european country.
I have a charger from my previous phone which is 2A but some guys suggested me to pick the right charger.
Now my question is..
Should i pick a generic charger(i found a Qualcomm charger on ebay for about 3,5 euros) or an adapter?
I looked for adapters(because some guys told me that Qualcomm chargers are not good at all) but i don't know what to pick.
All adapters seem the same.
Any help is appreciated

buying new sgn charger

Recently, my sgn n7000 charger(1yr old) got damaged.
I am looking to buy new charger of same model, but after searching a lot, i coudnt find a new genuine charger online, most of them are boxed and loosely packed.
i got some gud deal for a charger but its 700ma, it will take a lot of time to charge..
While searching, i got at these product
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Buy-Online-S...?pt=IN_Mobile_Accessories&hash=item3384a4ebb8
but on the samsung website, the note n7000 is not in the compatible list.
i wanna know, will it charge my note properly or not. Will i t damage my battery..!
or else pls give some link whr i can get genuine charger.

The charger looks like an indian version of the one my daughter received with her galaxy s4. White is the colour of her phone and the colour of her charger, it also was 5v at 2A. To my knowledge the charging of the battery within the phone is controlled by the phone and as long as it is supplied with its minimum requirement of 5v. it will charge at whatever current it can within the control of the power management in the phone.
Hope this helps ? I did look at the samsung website in india and they had power units for sale. I dont know where you are ?
Samsung India has 700ma chargers listed..
And do u charge ur note with that one..? Us thr any problem.?

No mine is a 5v 1A samsung charger. I also have an incar charger which is a standard usb charger for any make of phone and that supplies 5v at 1A. I also have a Yiboyaun unit from china which charges just the battery, I have 3 additional batteries I use and charge with this unit from china. I have had this setup for more than a year with no problems.
You can charge N700x with the Note 2 charger (which puts out max 2A). It charges slightly faster than the original Sammy 1A charger/cable. It's perfectly safe because the phone will not take in more current than it's configured.

If it charges faster than 1A its not limiting the input. The note 1 battery is made for 1A chargers. Using 2A will limit the life span of the battery.

1,5A charger on HTC One M7

I'm thinking to buy a new charger for my phone since it was broken. Do I need to buy the default (1A) or should I go to 1.5A?

AFAIK, the phone will only take a maximum of 1A. It doesn't help or hurt to go more though. So, if the 1.5A charger is cheaper, I'd go that route since you could then use it on other devices that require more juice ("future proofing").

Go with any Quick Charge charger. I personally have the Quick Charge 3.0 Aukey 2 port because I also have an HTC 10. I can tell you that it will charge the phone faster than the stock charger. The M7 has Quick Charge 1.0 technology but the stock charger wasn't a quick charge charger. With with a quick charge charger you can get a fill charge in a little over a hour 40 mins.
The HTC M7 is not on Qualcomm quick charger 1.0 compatibility list.

You might as well stick to original charge because fast chargers can mess up the battery.
b$ mate. Charging controller is in the phone, not in the charger. You can use even 100A charger, but phone will limit charging current go to the batter as it needs.

Wireless charging

Hi there.
I have bought two Chinese wireless charger, I tested with Samsung and all of them works fine. But on my two lg G3 it just start and stop, I have about 5 wall charger with 2a and only the wall charger from Samsung works after trying a few times, is this normal in this machine. Thanks
no name chargers are an eternal lottery. I advise you to pay extra and buy a reputable one
I think best qi chargers for g3 is with 2-3 charging coils. So I heard.
not necessarily, quality is not quantity

SuperVOOC car charger

Ordered and received a couple of days ago.
So far so good.
OPPO SuperVOOC Car Charger.
Maximum 10V 5A 50W stable output to charge your phones and support 5V2A Quick Charge.
Multiple over-current, over-voltage protection.
The only strange issue is there was no cable included so I had to order one also.

Yes I know. Tried my last oneplus charger displays "superVOOC", but that's not SuperVOOC 2.0! It has a huge difference in charging speed.

Hey mate, i'm looking at getting this too. Did you have to buy the official USB C cable for it to work? I can't work out what the requirements are for the cable in order to get SuperVOOC 2.0 speeds. Just curious as i bought a standard USB C cable (one in the box is too short IMO) and although I had it plugged into the SV2.0 charger I couldn't get it to charge at SV2.0 speeds
The cable has to be the official one, because it's the only one that has [email protected] Most other cables have 5A. I also looked in China but couldn't find any that has these specs, yet.
I have also bought this charger and it is Super Vooc charger, meaning it is not 2.0 version, I use it with original cable, but the speed difference is not huge, it still charges fast enough.

hello
have a nice day
I have some advice for UK residents.
The SuperVOOX car charger its only 7.99 pounds in the OPPO official website, but it seems to be permanently out of stock.
Now, accidentally I found they are selling a bundle of the supervooc car charger + supervooc cable for 18 pounds, I think it´s a great deal so I bought it last weekend and it should arrive soon, heres the link:
https://oppomobiles.co.uk/car-kit.html
The funny thing with this is that the bundle is not listed in the web in the accessories or in any other part, you can only find it if you search for something related like "car" or "supervooc"
I also chatted with them asking about the car charger being out of stock and they didnt tell me about this bundle...

Great find. I’ve just bought a OnePlus 8 Pro wich supports WarpCharge 30T. This is the same as VOOC 4.0 I believe and they are both 5v @ 6A = 30W. Would this charger and cable charge my 8 Pro at 30W? Many thanks in advance.

not sure if it will be any good but the reviews of the product seem to indicate that it is in fact the real deal, i personally need the super fast charging as i drive since it takes me 30 minutes to get to work super fast charging would be ideal.
anyway i have decided to buy an inverter for the car to use the one that came with the phone for now, but it would be nice to have a proper car charger without all the extra mess them wires are going to be making.
USB type-C cables don't have to be OEM but they do have to be the right standard (& the standards get added to frequently so get an up-to-date cable), Qualcom PD/QC is much more common than Mediatek VOOC & they work in completely different ways.
VOOC pulses the power wires to communicate between charger/cable/phone (all 3 have chips) whereas PD/QC communicates via the data wires.
The result of this communication is different too, VOOC leaves the line at 5V & just changes the current [Edit]it seems SuperVOOC can also select 10V[/Edit] but PD/QC selects between various Voltage/current combinations & can get up to 20V.
If communication fails completely the charger defaults to 5V & max 2.1A with the phone deciding how much current to draw.
The previous micro-USB fast-charge standard is different again, it uses a plain cable & just communicates between phone & charger to select 2.4A, 3.1A or 4.2A vs the default max 2.1A

So, any feedback or review?
yes apologies i completely forgot to let people know, so basically the item works well and the phone tells me it is charging at super vooc 2.0 speeds, however I've used the app ampere and its definitely not as fast as the wall plug version but is certainly fast enough, also I'm not using the stock cable that came with the phone as that didn't seem to work very well with the charger so instead I'm using another one of my cables which is a volutz cable, i wasn't actually aware it would work since i bought it for another phone but seems to work really well, so all in all i would highly recommend the charger as it seems to be the best option for on the go and is certainly cheap enough.

charger that comes with the device

Hi there!
I just got my G7 Plus minutes ago, yiipppieeh.
On the charger that came with it I read "TurboPower", is this charger Quick Charge able and compatible?
I wonder if I can use this charger with a micro usb adapter with my older BBarry device.
Usually I think they deliver cheaper chargers with their phones that are not Quick Charge capable.
Thanks!

A charger can't send more juice to a device than the device can pull.
If your BB will only pull 2A (and I'm just using this number for an example, I don't know what your BB is rated at) then hooking it to the G7+ charger won't make it charge at 27A - it'll still be 2A.
That said, there's a benefit if your current BB charger is old and not putting out the amperage it used to then the G7+ charger would help.
You'll also need to factor in your micro USB adapter too - cheap ones might limit the amperage because of inefficiency, etc.
For RL experience, my family uses my TurboPower charger for their non-TurboPower phones and they charge normally.
Oh - for your G7+, it'll charge quick until 78% and then charge "normally".
