I decided to get the 45W charger for whatever reason. Plugged in at 1% and 30 minutes later was sitting at 54% percent. Phone was on with the screen off. It took exactly 70 minutes to charge to 100%.
The 25W charger charges from 0% to 100% in 66 to 68 minutes for me.
Fast cable charging is enabled in the settings. The cable that came with the 45w brick is being used. I'm very confused. I've noticed other times that it was greatly slower than my 25w charger.
Obviously it varies a lot based on temperatures but this is charging in the same room at the same room temperature off of the same wall plug.
No joke at this point I'm charging slower with the 45w charger than the 25w charger.
Anybody wanna chime in here?
From the results I see here I do NOT see any reason to purchase this 45w charger at all. At the very most I saw a 7% gain when charging while the phones were off at the 25 minute mark.
Here is some actual data
25w Charger vs 45w Charger Phone ON
25w Charger vs 45w Charger Phone OFF
25w Charger vs 45w Charger Phone ON and OFF
I've seen a lot of negative reviews on the 45 watt charger. I'm not sure why. I don't know if varies its speed on differing factors or not. I know a lot of people were complaining about spending the extra $50 and it either being slower than the 25 watt or it was only slightly faster....by a matter of minutes. You would think it should almost be twice as fast but it's not. I stuck with the 25 Watt but I'd love to know other's input as well and testing.
Try testing the relative time from say 20% to 80%. You should see a substantial improvement with the 45w charger. I think the phone heats up more with the 45w, so charges more slowly as it nears 100%, resulting in what you are seeing. The benefit of the 45w charger is getting a quick large boost, not in going from 0 to 100.
Lol no no what I'm saying is that the 45w charger has been slower than the 25w charger at all points of charging. I can understand throttling from heat and all that, and throttled from 80 to 100. This is just ridiculous though.
In 30 minutes I go from 0 to ~62% with the 25w charger.
With the 45w charger I barely make it to 54%.

The 0 to 20 it so is no faster than the 25w. Just try the experiment I suggested. Or don't. If you don't see a marked difference, then you have a bad 45w charger, or some other issue.
There is indeed a small difference, I own both 25W and 45W and from 0% to 50% the 45W is faster by a matter of few minutes maybe less than 5, while on a full charge is only 1 minute faster. Is not slower for sure. With the 45W charger I can also charge my laptop decently
yeah it's definitely not recommended for most ppl.
Just get another 25w for half the price.
At the very least the 45w option works for other stuff too like laptops, or ive used it to power my switch in a dock.
With most of these chargers. The only way to get a real figure is powering the device off. Then charging. Most of the older commercials were stating that the "device can charge to 1/2 full in 15min on fast charge." Then they would power off the device and charge it up. It was the commercial with the guy in a bar if I remember correctly.
With the device powered on, there are factors that could impact the charging speeds like energy consumption with process intensive apps.
I too have the 45w & the 25w. Don't like the size of it. Like they could have done GaN components to make it more compact. Been looking for a GaN charger that supports PPS. Not really coming up with anything. IF any of you want a 60w USB C PD/PPS & USB A QC 4.0 charger for the car 12v. This one is whatI am using. I integrated it and modified a Switch Blank . Charges the Laptop no problem. Charges the Note 10+ no problem.
Half the price. and the USB A is 18w too.///

Still getting one of these. Disappointed that they skipped over the protocols for everyone else and stuck to Apple protocols and the standard PD. Size and output is a win still for me. Wont do PPS or any Samsung specific profiles. Still will do PD stuff so 45w will still do its thing.
https://www.kickstarter.com/project...rst-and-smallest-100w-gan-charger/description
Long and short of this whole "Which charger is better for the Note 10+" is this. - 45w PPS max is what it supports. Any charger that supports that profile should do the same thing. Size, dimensions, features, are the only other wild cards.

Your switch game is on level 5000
45W fast charging will start when the battery is below 30%
But there is also a starting condition is that the phone battery temperature must be below 30˚C,when it exceeds, it will drop to 25W
It is impossible to satisfy all conditions at the same time
However, it is not fully loaded with 45W below 30%, and the highest speed tested is only 36W

Appreciate that. I was lazy that day and did the whole thing with what I had in my pocket. My Leatherman Charge TTI KNIFE, A lighter, and a Glue stick. Imagine what it would have looked like if I used my real tools ??*?*??
Hello guys, here are some actual results from some data I collected. The 45w charger is a complete bust in my eyes unless Samsung releases some software update where they allow more juice to flow through, but at this point I think heat might be an issue. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT purchase this charger, and if you did I hope you complain to Samsung and let them know through social media or reviewing the product. This 45w charger is a complete waste of money because having access to higher wattage matters nothing when the phone limits the wattage it allows to be charged at as heat becomes the limiting factor. You can get a 100w charger and it will make no difference with the heat being the bottleneck.
From the results I see here I do NOT see any reason to purchase this 45w charger at all. At the very most I saw a 7% gain when charging while the phones were off at the 25 minute mark.

This is a review of Anker Bolt 3.6A (18W) Dual USB Car Charger: Anker Car Charger
From my own personal experience I use Note 2 every day as GPS to/from work. Everything is usually on (display, bluetooth), plus GPS/Google maps are up, and I take/make phone calls in a middle of all that. What does that mean? Battery is draining really fast, and even with car charger you need at least 2A output to be able to charge at faster rate than discharging with everything on. 2A charger is not hard to find, although question always come up if you can trust their actual rating. If you want to take it to the next level and charge another smart phone, you can probably find a dual charger with 2A and 1A, although reliability and current sharing during simultaneous use of ports might be in question. This new product from Anker took it to the next level where they are offering dual port output with 2.1A and 1.5A outputs and guarantee full current supply from each port at the same time. In terms of reliability, they are offering 18 months warranty which I think is a bold statement of confidence in their product.
3.6A, which is 18W, is a lot of power and to my surprise the charger was actually very small and lightweight. The dimensions of the end with dual ports is only 26 mm x 24 mm, and the whole charger is very lightweight and only 22g. This small size is very convenient for tight spaces like in your arm-rest compartment, and just in general is unobtrusive to use anywhere in the car. I know they advertise it as dual port with 2.1A for Apple (obviously iPad) and 1.5A for smart phones, but I confirmed that our Note 2 charges perfectly from Apple port. As a matter of fact that would be the best port to use for Note 2 fast charging. I took a picture in my car to demonstrate that both of the ports worked charging Note 2.
Overall it's a great little dual usb port car charger from a trusted company with a punch of 3.6A capacity split between 2.1A and 1.5A ports where both can be used simultaneously so you can do a fast charging of two devices at the same time. Plus, you can get it on Amazon for under $12 which is a bargain.

Don't know if I ever get around it. I'm testing my ZeroLemon 9300 mAh so I mostly discharging my battery rather than charging it up. Will take a while before I get to in car charging Beside for me timing charge in the car makes no sense because I use my N2 for GPS and calls all the time, so I'm discharging it at a heavy rate as it charges up. But for sure, it goes up 15%-20% with this charger during my 1hr commute, but only because I use GPS/BT/display fully on at max brightness. This car charger is true 2.1A/1.5A, so the charging time from 2.1A shouldn't be any different than our OEM wall charger.

You should be able to use the Galaxy Charge Current app (available on the play store) to see how much current it's supplying (although this may vary depending on the USB cable you use with it, a reason why I'm purchasing the variant with a built in micro-usb cable and a usb port) although I seem to remember you stating in another thread you had one of the US variants of the Note II and the app may not be compatible with those.

Quick update on this:
Although the Galaxy Charge Current app only reports the charger giving 1.2a, over an approximately 15 minute period with the screen on, music playback, GPS lock and video recording @ 720p with DailyRoads Voyager, the charger was still able to charge my N7100 from 80% to 86%, which isn't bad considering the heavy load it was under.

Ah, thanks for the info. Seems I'm only missing out on 300mA though (one reviewer says the android port on that is rated at 1.5A and I get 1.2A from mine) so I don't think I'll go for that one. this way I know I'm going to get a decent charge no matter what usb cable I use. I've only got one that's actually capable of charging at full speed and having to take it everywhere I go would be annoying, the fixed charger on this is perfect for me.
Only posted here to help others looking for a decent car charger, as you did. Every other thread I see on the topic seems to recommend usb chargers such as yours but never recommend cables capable of utilising them to their full potential.
Anyway, keep up the great reviews
Most of them make me want to spend money I know I shouldn't on things I don't necessarily need

Absolutely! I highly recommend to use Monoprice usb 28AWG/24AWG cables with Ferrite choker and gold-plated connectors. You need thicker cables to handle 2A current. Do not use thin computer cables designed for 500mA current.
Monoprice cables are very cheap too, 3ft for $1.08: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=8640&seq=1&format=2 or 6ft for $1.40: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=8641&seq=1&format=2

I'd go with what Vectron suggested.
In the UK the only cable I've found that does is an old BlackBerry usb cable my cousin had. Swapped it for a spare cable I had that only did 1A because her phone only charges at 1A anyway.

Absolutely, it's low voltage drop cable design. Plus it never failed me in the car either if it's 100deg C or down to single digits.
Just ordered one to see if it'll trigger my iBolt Dock's USB charging/audio feature. Hopefully it does...if it doesn't, well least I can charge two phones in the car at once now.
Ordered these cables from monoprice, used with my original charger and couldn't get my ZL9300 charged over 72%. Kept it on charger for over 12 hours

Can't be the cable. It's just a thick wire. If it would have been defective, you wouldn't be able to even charge it up to 72%, although you can never tell for sure. So you have used original Samsung 2A wall charger with it's original cable from the same AC wall outlet to charge up your Note 2 with Zerolemon before to 100% without any problem? I just want to baseline your working setup so you can troubleshoot from there. If it was working before in exactly the same setup and you only replaced the cable, can you go back to the original cable and see if it will charge it to 100% without a problem? If not, then it's something wrong with a cable. Make sure nothing funny is going on with your AC wall outlet plug. I discovered that in my house I have a few that not allowing me to do fast charging due to some electric wiring limitation. Also, make sure everything is connected all the way in. Depending on the case you are using, some of these micro-usb connectors are a bit too thick to go all the way in, and although it looks like you are charging - because connector is not mated all the way in, you have a bad contact and limiting charging current. I actually BET you that's exactly what is going on. I have so many usb-to-micro-usb cables around, can't keep track of it. But I remember at my work I had to slice a piece of micro-usb connector to make it thinner to work with my Zerolemon TPU, and I believe that was monoprice cable. Definitely check it out, cause that could be a problem in your case.
Everything was the same, same 2A charger, same outlet, same phone with ZL battery . Just replaced my Samy cable with 6ft one from monoprice. Will try again tomorrow with oem cable, will see how it goes

Trim micro usb connector. Gotta be it.
It seems to fit pretty tight, but I will definitely try it.
Ha! The Anker direct store in ebay is selling this for $55!! What is it made of gold now? LOL.
From day one when I got ZeroLemon 9300 mAh battery, the question of external charger for this battery was on my mind. You get a monster capacity, but it will also take at least 3x as long to charge it up and you can only do that inside of your phone. It's OK if you run out of lemon juice and put your Note 2 on a charger overnight, but otherwise you better have a spare fully charged battery. Plus, for some of us the use of ZL battery will be not daily thing. Bottom line, external charger is a must have. I have talked to ZL support and they confirmed about looking into rapid external charger, but no details about it available yet. So I figured to try something out myself.
The challenge is that ZL battery looks like a stock footprint on top of a large plate. Most of the regular single battery charges have small footprint where they could mate with battery contacts but ZL will be top-heavy pulling out of the charger. I came across this cradle charger from Tmart.com, it's about $15 and as a bonus you can charge the battery and sync your phone. Got it from here: http://www.tmart.com/Twin-USB-Cradl...for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-II-N7100_p173079.html - they actually have it in their US warehouse so it arrived very fast. As a cradle it's OK, although just like any vertical cradle-stand it can accept only a slim case or Note 2 without a case. Also, for some reason with an included ac-adapter you can't charge at more than 500 mA (it was forcing it into USB charging mode). But that wasn't my main purpose.
In order to fit ZeroLemon, I had to modify this case where the back support of the cradle/stand had to be leveled off. Since I use dremel for my mods, I actually included a picture below for those who are interested. Using a cutting wheel to slice it off, and griding wheel to smooth out the rough edges. Turned out to be very functional! Because of the wide base of the charger/cradle, there is no wobbling or worrying the battery will pop out of the charger. The only drawback is that charging led light is covered by the battery, but if you look sideways you can actually see it [edit]... tried charging with a stock battery, light was staying red while battery got charged up, after awhile turned blue, so don't count on red/blue as reliable indicator, although it charges up ok... [/edit]. I took my depleted ZL (it was down to 3%) and set it on the charger overnight from midnight until 7:30am. I did use an included AC wall charger since I figured it said 1500 mA so it should charge it fast. In the morning popped the battery into the phone and to my surprise found it to be only at 32%. That would mean that wall charger was actually providing about 415 mA instead of 1500 mA. No surprise since you can never trust these labels. It could have been a typical 500 mA charger with some efficiency loss down to 415 mA of actual current. I decided to use my other "trusted" 2A wall charger. Kept it charging in the same setup from 10am till 1:50pm, popped it into the phone and battery went from 32% to 97% in under 4 hours!!! Which is approximately 1550 mA of supply from a wall charger, with some efficiency loss from original value. So if I would have used this wall charger from 3%, most likely I would have gotten to a full 100% charge in under 7 hours, maybe even 6 1/2 hours.
Pretty much charging circuit of that cradle/charge is able to handle high current input and can charge Zerolemon at relatively fast rate of 1500 mA supply. Plus, even after slicing a layer of back support of that cradle, I was still able to plug in the phone and charge/sync it (although through that micro-usb connector it was charging at USB rate, not AC).
Bottom line, it worked! Oh, and as a disclaimer I have to mention that I'm not responsible for any damage to your battery or your fingers if you decide to duplicate it Here are the pictures:

Just make sure you use stock 2A wall charger or any other 2A wall charger. Using the bundled one will take you forever to charge it up.

No, that charger is a joke even for a standard battery, toooooo slow in charging due to only 350mA supply. Also, it plugs in to the wall while you need something that will plug in to the external wall charger with usb/micro-usb. Not every charger will work. You need something similar to what I have above.

I agree that the supply is too weak on that charger, however the form factor should work if you have an outlet on a horizontal surface. Powerstrips are often placed in this way. You just need to find one with a good 2A output.
I did this mod and it charged my zerolemon battery and it fit. purchased that same charger from the link. so far so good. I now own 2 of these zerolemon batteries, so hopefully this modded charger will keep me free from all cords.

Does your led turns blue when it's done charging? I think I have been tweaking my charger too much with mods and fitments, cause now I feel like charger is not making a good contact with a battery. I had it on for a long time and only got up to 78% which wasn't like before. Either way, this is the only charger cradle I found so far that can fit ZL and uses external USB wall charger. I hope ZL will come through with their own fast external charger!
Wonder if my Anker charger will work. Debating in this battery, but been happy with my Hyperion 6200 so far a d fits fine in my Anker external charger. Takes about 10 hours to charge, but don't use it everyday and always have a back up Anker 3100 on back up.

hey vectron, since you have ZL's "ear", tell them they should expand this catagory to include home /desk chargers, car chargers, and a couple of cases. Obviously, the chargers need to be a bit higher capacity, but, they should already have this stuff on the drawing board/test phase..
I was in the automotive battery/charger business for many years, and I know how successful a program like this can/should/will be!

I think they are well aware of the demand for all this stuff, but it seems they are focusing mainly on batteries. Heard from someone ZL will have 3x capacity S4 battery in a few weeks. So their #1 priority is a battery, and with so many new popular phones, it keeps them pretty busy.
What we need is one of those universal wall chargers that can supply 2A. If you look on ebay, they do have universal chargers where contact location could be moved to adapt to different batteries and it also expands for different battery sizes. But they all have internal converter built in and limited to 500-600mA. Someone in HK needs to realize all new phones use 1A-2A chargers.

I was able to zoom in on Amazon into Anker charger and from close up its 600 mA, so we are talking about 16 hours of charge time for ZL. This confirms your charging time of 6200 mAh / 600 mA = 10.3 hr. I do believe Anker charger will fit ZL.

This is a review of Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 (Qualcomm certified) wall charger. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QEX83LA/ ($16.99), product page: http://www.aukey.com/product/pau28-qualcomm-quick-charge-usb-adapter
This is going to be a quick review since we are talking about a wall charger, though it's not an ordinary one but rather featuring Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 technology implemented in our Galaxy Note 4 as part of an adaptive fast charging. I see more of these wall chargers starting to pop up, but want to be sure you guys/gals don't fall for ebay scams and rather go with a trusted brand names that has been around for awhile and offer a solid warranty and tech support. The idea of Quick Charger 2.0 tech is to implement a higher voltage adaptive charging (at 9V or 12V instead of typical 5V) to accelerate charging of your smartphone battery. A number of new phones and tablets can take advantage of this adaptive fast charging already, while this product is also backward compatible with older phones to charge at 5V. Furthermore, you have to keep in mind that max current rating doesn't mean that your older phone will be drawing more current, it shouldn't sink more than it's maximum current rating. Therefore this particular charger from Aukey is universal to work with newer phones and also backward compatible with older ones, even those that can't take advantage of 2A charging.
The product itself arrived in a small environmentally safe box with just a charger and user manual. It would have been good if they would include usb to micro-usb cable, but I guess Aukey assumed that we already have plenty of those laying around. Just please keep in mind, for a higher voltage/current fast charging make sure to use a higher quality thicker usb cables. Thinner "data" usb cable are not intended for high current, and as a matter of fact can current-limit charge resulting in overheating.
Overall, this Aukey Quick Charger 2.0 performed exactly the same as Samsung Galaxy Note 4 original fast charger, which makes it a great replacement or a second set to keep in your office or when traveling. The build quality is good, feels solid in my hand, didn't overheat - no complaints here!

Thanks a lot for the review. I also bought two along with a pack of 4 usb cables from Aukey for 32 euros and its working great. I would never pay 35 euros for a single charger when all quickcharge 2.0 certified chargers work the same
Vectron, another great review. Thank You.
What glass screen protector are you currently using?
What a great review. even though there is no cable included
Priced dropped to $14.99.
The Samsung fast charger looks sleeker
It does but it costs 3 times more

Qualcomm quick charging 2, does that mean that it only works for the snapdragon version? Or would it work on the exynos version (N910C) too?
NICE!

it will "work" in the same way any charger for the exynos will, as a 5.3V 2A charger. It will not Quick charge. so you are probably looking at ~1:45-2hrs to charge vs ~1:15-1:30 for a full charge on the stock battery.
Quick charge doesn't really do anything for the extended batteries since there is a limitation (firmware maybe) of 3320 MAH after that the charger stops charging. So quick charging has to be disabled to charge the larger batteries. Quick charging worked perfectly with an anker 6400 battery that I now have. Apparently this is a zerolemon limitation
I have this charger as well. I do think it charges slightly faster that the stock charger although that could be wishful thinking on my part. There really is no way to compare them since they both charge so quickly (normally right around an hour from 20%-full) so a minute or two could be simply what the phone is doing in the background.
I also have the tenergy, anker, verizon quick chargers and with all of them the charge is very fast.
How hot does it get? I had a 2A charger that sometimes got too hot to touch... at some point it died.

Mine dosent. The phone does a little, especially during the first half of the battery
I just bought a 5-port version (with 4 Ai ports and 1 QuickCharge port) http://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-Certified-Aukey-Charging-Included/dp/B00UV4HCL0
OP's review covered the QuickCharge port. How about the other 4 ports? Does the Ai really work?
Thanks!
Hmm... I've received mine today with one USB port, but it's strange that micro usb don't go all the way to my Note 4 F version, and don't seem to charge fast as well? When Samsung charger is plug in there is a notification "Fast charger connected" but with Aukey there is no such information. Is it possible that I've bought fake/faulty one? When plugged my Note 4 to Aukey charger I didn't see any changes of battery percentage (when plug in was 8%) after about 5min was the same with Samsung went from 8% to about 11%. Any ideas?
I have the aukey one with three USB ports. When I plug on the fast charge, the screen does say fast charge.

So in my case I've got fake one or faulty one. I'll post pictures how my charger look like.

Introduction
RAVPower has launched an impressive concentrate of portable power that features Quick Charge 3.0, the latest technology available from Qualcomm to charge QC 3.0 compatible devices much faster than using conventional charging technology, and even an USB Type-C port, that is becoming a standard nowadays with latest devices.
This is the RAVPower Turbo+ QC 3.0 20100mAh Battery Pack.

This is the updated version of the Power Bank from RAVPower with QC 3.0 (Turbo+) support instead of the previous QC 2.0 (Turbo, without the "+" character). Luckily I had the possibility to compare both versions, so I’ll show you both.
Unboxing
Packaging (eco-friendly) comes with two Slim Micro-USB cables (~26cm & ~66cm), a Protective Pouch, a small Multilanguage Quick Start Guide, a Warranty Card and the Power Bank (of course).
Both versions come with the same accessories, only packaging is different.
I must admit that this Power Bank impressed me because it seems bulky, but in reality it is pretty lightweight and small enough to be handled easily in your bag without sacrifying too much space. I like its clean design, with rounded borders and opaque painting.
Don’t forget that this is a 20100mAh Battery Pack, so if you are going to buy it so must consider that it isn’t as portable as less powerful ones. (Batteries technology is improving day-by-day though so in the future we might be able to get smaller – but not less powerful – batteries)
It weighs 376g, its chassis is made of Plastic (feels strong though) and on the front side there are 4 Blue LEDs used to check battery remaining charge with a power button. The power button is only used to check battery remaining charge so you don’t have to press it to turn on the power bank. It turns on automatically when you connect a device whatever port you are using.
It comes with multiple USB ports:
- 1x Micro-USB port that support also Quick Charge
- 1x USB Type-C port that can be used in both ways (Input and Output)
- 2x Full-Size USB Ports (1x with Quick Charge support)
As regards its performance, I am able to charge my Galaxy S4 (GT-I9500, Exynos Variant) at the same speed as with the Original Samsung Charger (with 2.0A output) without any voltage stability issue. (I have tested both USB Ports). I have also tried to charge a Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505, Qualcomm Variant) that comes with Quick Charge 1.0 technology support and it managed to charge the device in more or less 45 minutes. Also, I have tried the USB Type-C port with a Nexus 6P (luckily i have a friend at University that has it), and it does seem to work as good as with the Original Nexus Charger.
Battery Life
Battery Life is simply amazing, it is hard to discharge the power bank completely in less than 1 week, especially if you need to charge only one smartphone that doesn’t come with a large battery. There is always some juice left even if there is only one LED lighted up (so it means less than 25% of available battery). When the battery level is extremely low, the LED starts to blink but I managed to charge a Sony PSVita (2210 mAh) nearly completely after the LED started to blink so this is pretty good.
This is a GIF that i made, unfortunately XDA doesn't support GIF playback so i had to convert and upload it on YouTube.
Efficiency
I made some tests using an USB Tester with the included USB Cable (short variant), as you can see it is able to provide 1.9A without major issues (maybe a bit low voltage, but using another cable it is higher). I don’t have a 3A resistor so I won’t be able to show you a test under higher load, but I have stressed both USB ports at the same time and I can confirm you that it is able to handle more than 3A load without any issue at all.
Charging
I’m using a RAVPower Turbo+ QC 3.0 Charger to charge the battery. (Best Combo)
I left the battery connected to the charger at 23:30, and when I got up (08:15) the battery was fully charged and cold, so I can say that it took more or less 8 hours (probably 7 hours, because both battery & charger were cold) to charge completely. Remember that even if Qualcomm Quick Charge makes the whole charging process faster, it is also temperature controlled so if battery gets hot current output gets reduced to cool down the battery without causing damage.
Power Output seems to be extremely efficient here, voltage is much higher at 2A than using the Battery.
It is a bit heavy, but extremely powerful and feels pretty well made.
This is the best charger i have ever tried. I can recommend it even if you have to charge other kind of devices.
Conclusions
This battery is one of the most complete available on the market, so if you need a full-optional and powerful Power Bank, then this is the right choice. I know, it isn’t easy to carry everywhere because it doesn’t fit in your pocket, so this is something useful if you carry a bag with you or if you have anything else where to fit the battery, but actually no other power banks offer so many USB ports, Quick Charge 3.0 support and Quality Battery Cells inside.
If you don’t need Quick Charge 3.0 support, I recommend you to get the QC 2.0 version to save some money. Also, i recommend you to get also the RAVPower Turbo+ QC 3.0 Charger (or Turbo QC 2.0) for best results.
I’ll add an additional review about reliability in 6 months more or less to let you know if I find any kind of issue during full-term usage.

20100 mah = 20100x3.7= 74Watt hours
If it was fully charged in 7 hours, thats around 12W going into the power bank. This is slow.
I would have expected it to charge full within 5 hours which would be at least 15W or more going in.
The charger i have and what i find curious about it is if you look at the specs they are actually QC2.But it says QC3.0/2.0 on the charging port. Not on qualcom's list of certified QC3 chargers.
if you look at the battery specs they are QC3 and is on qualcom's list as certified QC3.
Would be good if you can get a double digit meter so we can see how much power that charger is actually putting into the pack.
Also have you been able to test with a QC3 phone and measure how long it took.

It is something that i'll do as soon as possible.
Also, remember that you can't completely base your opinion on technical specs, because there are many other factors such as Temperature that might increase charging times.

Cool, quote or @ me when you do.
If you see here the times, with qc2 charger its 5.5 hrs.
With QC3 it should be better. Why your ravpower charger cannot do it ?
Would also request you to upgrade your usb meter and re-test with this power bank and charger.

Real Battery Capacity after 3 Months of Usage. Consider that the battery wasn't completely dead, with flashing low-battery leds, this might be a bit lower.
I haven't measured battery charging times this time because i had to use the Standard 5V charger in order to get the correct mAh value, next recharge will be made using the QC Charger.
Thanks for your post

Hi guys,
I just got my S20 and to my great disappointment, it doesn't charge off one of my USB-C PD power supply (Navilock 60W PD) and it also only "slow"-charges from my Apple 87W USB-C charger. At least, when it is on. When powered off, it charges with both chargers (although I cannot tell if it fast-charges). Does anyone have an idea why or perhaps how to fix this? Also let me know if you're experiencing a similar issue.
Edit: What else I tested:
Same PS, Samsung cable (still doesn't work)
Same PS with different phones (Mi 9, Mi 10, both work with fast charging)
Same PS with laptop (Dell XPS 15, works @60W)
Samsung PS with Samsung cable (works)
Hi,
You cannot fix this issue because samsung's fast charge only works with samsung PS.
they use the USB-PD standard but Galaxy smartphones detects whether it is samsung hardware or not (to avoid the risk of overloads, electrocution and fires with counterfeits and maybe for others reasons... )
in addition, it is indicated in the charging parameters that to ensure proper functioning of the device, you need to use officials Samsung accessories.
If you need an additional charger, you'll have to buy Samsung.

According to some owners of the Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra, their phone either refuses to charge at times or the charging keeps getting interrupted every few minutes, requiring them to unplug the charging cable and then plug it in again. This happens with both official and third-party chargers – wireless charging is unaffected. A device restart apparently helps for a while before the issue crops up again. It doesn’t seem to be a hardware fault, as some users say the issue was introduced after a software update.
It also doesn’t seem to be very widespread, as there are very few reports on Samsung’s community forums over the last few months, and most of them are from Germany. Of course, even a few reports should be investigated, especially when they have to do with a device’s charging capabilities. None of our devices here at SamMobile are affected, but we have reached out to Samsung and will update you once we get a response.
In the meantime, do let us know if your Galaxy S20, S20+, or S20 Ultra is plagued with these charging issues by leaving a comment below.
https://www.sammobile.com/news/samsung-galaxy-s20-charging-issues-troubling-some-owners/
Using a standard USB-PD charger, the S20 range will only charge at 10W. This is because the S20 charges at 9V (I measured it at 8.3V though) and not at 12 or 20V which the USB-PD charger can provide. As a result, the next available voltage is 5V Check if your charger supports 9V output.
Newer USB-PD chargers Rev 2 AND with PPS will be able to negotiate 9V charging, but even so will be limited to up to 3A output. So you only get 27W of charging at most even with a 100W rated USB-PD Rev2 charger..
Hi, my S20+ (g9860) fast charges with a MacBook Pro charger. Don't know if it's to do with the chipset? I.e. exynos Vs Snapdragon?
I have a Xiaomi Fast Charger that's capable of providing 27W @ 9v/3A. Initially when used on my S20 G9810 SD865 model, it showed slow charging. However, I found a setting under Settings - Device Care - Battery - Charging. There is an option for Fast Charging but that was toggled off. Super Fast Charging and Fast Wireless charging were toggled on. I turned on Fast Charging and now when I'm using the Xiaomi charger, it shows Fast Charging when plugged in.
i have a 65W pd charger that works perfectly with my 20+, fast charge works without a problem, even got a non samsung cable to go with it.
i got it on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Baseus-GaN...-0-for-iPhone-USB-Phone-Charger-/184010071627

Looks like you found a very good charger that can replace the included Samsung charger. What current does it charge at? Does Accubattery say it is charging at 5000-5500 mA?

Does it say Super Fast Charge 2.0 when you charge with it? Or just Fast Charge?
I have a number of chargers that I use with my S20 Ultra. Depending on the combination of charger and cable that I use, I can get the following charge modes:
1) Fast Charge - 9V/2A - QC2.0 / Samsung AFC
2) Super Fast Charge - 9V/3A - USB PD
3) Super Fast Charge 2.0 - 9V/4A - USB PD with PPS

i have no idea what current it uses, and my phone is already fully charged so i guess accubattery won't show the max current until i drain my battery a bit, i'll try it later.
it doesn't say super fast charge 2.0 since i have a s20+ (that doesn't have it, only the ultra has it) but it does say super fast charge, and the original charger does say the same thing.

With Fast Charge toggled on, Accubattery shows 3000 mA
With Fast Charge toggled off, Accubattery shows 1800 mA.
I have the S20 with the 4000 mV battery.
To fast charge the S20+/S20 Ultra, you need a newer fast charger that not only support PD, but also the new PPS specification where the power supply can output 3.3V-11V (continuous programmable) and at least a 3A at those voltage. For 45W charging, you further need a PPS power supply which can output 5A at 3.3V-11V.
Most of the existing USB-PD power adapters do not support PPS and thus will not be able to super fast charge the Note 10+/S20 range of phones. The newer PPS adapters are slowly appearing now.
My Xiaomi charger is a 27W charger that does 9V/3A. Once I toggled the Fast Charge option on, I can charge my S20 using the full 27W.

I have the Samsung 45W travel charger which is supposed to support everything that is required to get the quickest charging from the S20U, but it still only charges at 30-32W.
Hi,
I have similar issue with my S20 (Snapdragon 865)。I have tested 2 different brand PPS chargers and 1 PD chargers and official 25W charger, the results are very weird.
1. Baseus 45w pps charger: S20 shows super charging but only get 9.3V*1.4A while Xiaomi Mi9 get 9V*3A.
2. Xiaomi 65w pps charger: S20 shows super charging but only get 9.2v*1.5A while S5e tablet get 9.3v*1.9A.
3. RAVPower 45w PD charger: S20 shows fast charging and get 9.2v*1.4A while S5e tablet get 9v*1.9A..
4. Official 25w pps charger: S20 shows super charging and get 9.2v*1.7A.
All results are tested when the phone battery below 50%。
What I found is my S20 's charging speed is never above 16 Walts when boot into system with whatever chargers and cables. It only charges at 25 Walts when the phone is turn off.
And another weird thing is after a firmware update (I forgot which one.), my S20 won't show fast charge when I use a PD charger and only charges at 5V/2A. It can only get fast charging when I do the following steps (turn off fast charge option before charging and plug the cable and wait for the 'You can turn on fast charge' popup shows and click OK), it now get the fast charge feature till next reboot.
I hope someone can reach Samsung and report to them. Thx!
Sorry for my bad English.

Have you checked what your CPU and battery temperatures are when you charge the phone while it is on? The S20 will slow down charging if it is too hot.

The battery temperature is around 36C. The room temperature is around 26C. Since my Note10 and S5e tablet can charge normally with these chargers, I still think it's a firmware bug that cause the problem.
