I have scoured the web looking for an inductive charger that can charge at 2a output.
I successfully modded my Samsung Galaxy S3 to charge with the palm touchstone. There are dozens of tutorials on how to do this on the web.
The only complaint that I had was to be expected, but i believe it can be rectified. While under normal use, the inductive charger couldn't keep up.
The palm touchstone is only rated for .5a output.
I have found that the qi wireless chargers claim to output 1a to the phone, but I still think that I need a full 2a.

I plan on purchasing a Note 3 as a birthday present to me XD and I have grown fond of wireless charging.
So, my question is has anyone found an inductive charger with faster charging than 1a?
If not is it theoretically possible to mod current products to achieve faster charging times?

I received my charger from Choetech yesterday and tested it with my moto 360 as well as a few of my other devices.
I figured that I should post my review (from amazon) up here due to the testing on the moto 360. I have bolded that parts people here will be interested in.

First, this is an amazing charger. Choetech always makes good products.
I received this in 2 days and set about testing it.
I was going to make a video showing off this thing fast charging on a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 but I see that there are already 2 excellent videos up showing that. So instead I will show you the things they did not highlight as much.
OK, the quick charge 2.0 wall plug you can get with this is the best one I have ever tried. Just like the other Qualcomm certified chargers, you will get the self adjusting voltages (12v-9v-5v) to give you a super fast charge. The extra you get with this Choetech quick charge 2.0 adapter is the USB port on it is reversible! This is the first charger I have seen with this and I now think everything should have this.
Ok now to the real reason you are reading this. The charging puck itself is a nice clean looking puck.
It is defiantly thicker than the cheapo ones you get for a few dollars. It has some heft to it making it feel more premium.
It has rubber top and bottom to keep both the charger from slipping on your desk or the phone from slipping on top the charger.
It will most defiantly charge your Note 5 or other Samsung devices quickly.
It will also charge your older devices as well. I tested it on a few LG phones in addition to the Note 5.
I noticed no abnormal warmth from the charger or any of the phones I tested this with. This is a very welcome thing as most of my other qi chargers do have heat issues.
One final thing, I tested this charger on my moto 360 and it charged it flawlessly. Most qi chargers fail here and will overheat this watch, this one did not and it charged my moto 360 from 19% to full in about 35 minutes. that is about 15 minutes faster than the stock charger does.
I received this product in exchange for an honest review, this does not affect my opinion of this product.
The fast charging works for a Note 5 or S6 Edge+, right? As far as I know that's a requirement as the new charger operates at a higher voltage.

It will fast charge at a higher voltage on a Note 5 or S6 Edge+, but will work at normal speeds on every other Qi enabled device, including our moto 360.

Seems they have a cheaper standard wireless charger for other Qi enabled device. Same design but cheaper at 20 bucks.

I have not tried it but I would assume with how well the fast charge one works, the cheaper one should also work to charge out watches without overheating them.
Interesting charger! Are wireless chargers efficient and as quick as cabled chargers? How long does it complete 100% charging your phone?

Just from experience, no science here.
A normal Qi charger will take about 2 times as long to charge your phone as a standard 2a charger.
This fast Qi charger is about the same speed on a compatible phone as a normal cable charger.
The fastest way to charge is with a qualcom certified quick charger and phone, that is significantly faster than a standard charger.
Think I'll pick one up,no overheating,that's worth it alone.
dodocool Wireless Charger, Fast Charge Qi wireless Charging pad for Samsung Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge / Note5 / S6 Edge+ and All Qi-enabled Devices Black
I have a few Qi wireless chargers and a Qi enabled device (Nexus 6) but never use them mainly because they charge at a very slow rate but this dodocool Wireless Charger has Fast charging mode (Output 10W Max) which uses Quickcharge 2.0 so if your device has Quickcharge capabilities you will be able to take advantage of but if not the Standard charge mode (Output 5W Max) for standard Qi-enabled devices will also work. I can say I now use this wireless charger as my primary charger and even use it in the car and I know that sounds odd and did to me also at first after reading it in product description but the charger itself first off is angled downward which helps you to view your screen and most importantly the charger base has 2 silicon rings around it, one on the top and one on the bottom which help secure the charging base while sitting in care and the silicon ring on top of charger not only helps secure phone while on the charger but also protects phone from getting any scratches or wear marks. I must say I’m very impressed with the overall function and looks of this wireless charger and highly recommend it. As a special gift to my Facebook/Twitter/G+ and YouTube friends here is a 30% off Code to use at checkout from my friends at dodocool.

This fast wireless charging stand allows you to charge your phone in portrait or landscape more. Very useful when placed on your desk next to your computer while you work.
Unlike other chargers, this one does not overheat and does not overcharge your device. The green indicator light will not bother you while you sleep.
It’s compatible with cases up to 4 mm thick (I haven’t tested with a thicker case).
I got mine at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CSQ3MZ6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
To activate the "fast charge" in wireless charging, my LG V30+ need 15W max. output capability and I've bought one of them with a really cheap price with brand "SMORSS" for ony around $10 :laugh:
Hi I'm using the Samsung wireless fast charge dock ep-ng930 which I think I got with my Note 8 or 9 and its woefully slow. Are there any quicker ones? I'm using it with an ANKER 18w QC2 USB charger. Is the charger not quick enough and would I be better using one of the Samsung fast charger plugs?
thanks
I ended up buying a Belkin QC4/PD compliant 27w charger (not wireless) namely because Belkin provide a £1500 connected equipment warranty and I didn't trust some of the cheap chinese crap on Amazon.
50% charge in about 30 mins!
