About RN8 battery charger - Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers

I bought a RN8 which came with a 5v-1a charger. I've read that it supports 18w charger. I also bought a mi note 10 lite which came with a 30w charger
My question is, will my RN8 battery be affected if I use this 30w charger with this phone? Since i've tried and it charges really fast, with the default 5v charger it takes almost 4hours to fully charge.
Why do you guys recommend? Should I buy a faster charge and can you guys tell me which specification should I look for? I don't know anything about batteries or chargers.
Thanks

You can keep in mind this general rule for almost any digital device.
The Output Voltage of charger could be vary of +/-5% of required Voltage of Device
The Output Amper of charger should NOT be very less than required Amper of Device.
Let's see a example:
We have a laptop that needs a charger with these specifications: 19v , 2.3a
Now I use different chargers, possible scenarios as follows:
1: Charger's V output is less than 18v: it won't charge, but laptop and charger are safe.
2:Charger's V output is more than 20v: it can(and do) burn the laptop, no damage to the charger expected.
3: Charger's A output is (very)less than 2.3a: it charges for a while, but it can burn the CHARGER (the charger gets very hot after a while).
4: Charger's A output is more than 2.3a: it charges perfectly, no damage to the charger nor the laptop is expected, everyone is happy .
5: Charger's A output is very very very more than 2.3a: not different results from previous (4th) scenario!
Each device forces its charger to provide MAX A that it needs (that's why it can burn the charger too), in your case 3a(5vx3a=15w/9vx2a=18w), if you buy a 120w charger your phone can use it just like as when you plug it to the 30w or 18w charger.

One last thing: (that applies for MODERN batteries)
When you use a more powerful charger definitely it charges your device more quickly, and: your battery gets warmer as a result. That's Bad!
All the things that kills your battery over the time is HEAT. If you like to keep your battery as healthy as it could be you should keep it away from getting warm (sunlight, gaming, fast charging, ...)
(And best practice is to keep your battery always between 20%-80%; but for MODERN device you can even forget this hint too, if you have noticed modern devices after reaching 90%, getting charged significantly slower, this technique is freind of your battery lifetime.)
For smartphone is it not very important, because we change our phones each 1-2 years. And batteries nowadays are so good that works for us even with bad treatment more than at least 1 year.
But for laptops or other things, HEAT would be the enemy of their MODERN batteries.

I get it, but what if the adapter has more than one output value? For example, if I use this adapter the redmi note 8 will automatically use the 15w output? Since device support up to 18w. it is safe to plug any device that use at least 15w with this adapter, or shouldn't use an adapter with higher capacity than 18w?

Yeah, as you mentioned it use 5v x 3a.
Actually new chargers that supports USB-C can make communication with the device and find their requirements, and depend on device answer provide required Voltage alongside the max Amper that they can generate upon the outputting voltage. That's what I do, I can charge all my devices that supports usb-c with a single 60W adapter of my laptop.
But I have no idea what will happen if I use an old device with a micro-usb port.

Car Charger

Hi guys, anyone could recommend a good car charger for this HTC One. I am running an app called Autoguard which records my trip. I manually activate car mode and this app but I realised my current car charger is not able to charge the phone quick enough despite a 2A rating with BT and this app running. It drains about 10% on a half hour journey! I have also did a little mod on my USB cable to short pin 2 & 3 but don't seems to work. I also read about charging modes (AC or USB) which the latter charged slowing whereas AC gives the full charging potential. I confirmed my current charger charged in USB mode. Any thoughts?
Seems like nobody has this problem!
I personally use the Motorola Rapid rate charger from Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000S5Q9CA/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1367933488&sr=8-2&pi=SL75
It works for me and does a great job.. I've had it for quite some time. My Galaxy Nexus on Verizon while using LTE was using more output than input while I was charging with a no name charger before so I decided to give this a shot and it worked. It charged and the percentage went up instead of trickling slowly with the no name charger..
I used it now with my H1 and it charges pretty quickly

But what would make the difference between charging the One ore not while navigating?
I have a mini charger with an output of 1A, but still the phone in draining while navigating. Could this be the same issue as with the Galaxy S2, that it depends on the usb pin layout whether the phone charges with 500mA or 1A? And if so, isn't there a usb cable which already has the correct pin layout to charge to phone with 1A?

The One doesn't seem to change charging rates based on the USB pin layout-- I have several chargers and cables with shorted data cables and none of them seem to charge the device at higher than 500ma. It's definitely the phone itself that's not drawing more. I think that, either via software or hardware, the phone is checking the wattage available and if it is below 5Vdc/2A, it only draws 500ma. I just ordered a DC adapter that claims to be rated at 5Vdc/2A, and it should be delivered tomorrow.
Well in my car the charger is a 2.1A charger so that should not be the problem.
Not shure what the voltage output is.
I shortened the middle pins, but indeed, without succes.
Where did you order your charger? Can you let me know if it's working? If the phone sees it as a AC charger?
edit:
I have this one: http://www.bol.com/nl/p/hama-ipad-p...8284/?Referrer=ADVNLBES0020159005000010898284 (sorry it's in dutch). So it should be a 5V charger but still no effect...

This is the one I ordered:
Kinivo CX420 Two Port USB Car charger - for all smartphones and tablets (4.2 Amp / 20W)
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009TBF7IG/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
If this one doesn't work, I'm just going to permanently mount a 150W inverter and start using AC adapters. All of the 2.1a adapters show as charging via AC, but it still tops out at 500ma.
edit: i've been posting all over these forums with the same stuff... here's a link to whatever thread I just responded to with the most current information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41797839&postcount=6
I doubt if that will work. The output of the AC charger is only 1A and 5V, so there is something else why the phone thinks it's on an AC or USB charger. Still haven't found out what though
I just took apart an AC charger, and guess what, the two middle pins are shortened:
So what else tells the phone it's on an AC charger or USB charger???

I really think it's just down to output wattage, and nothing more. I have plenty of chargers with the middle pins shorted, and even though the phone says it's charging on AC, it only draws 500ma. That charger I linked my last post has been actually charging my phone while it's in use, pretty nearly 100% of the time. It does dip from time to time, but I've noticed that the AC adapter does too.
Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I've seen some conflicting posts. Should I be getting a 2a car charger? I'm not sure what my current one is rated at as I haven't checked, but today in car mode and with bluetooth connected it was draining instead of charging and I'd like to fix that. I need a 2 usb port charger and I know most of those are not actually 2a per port, any suggestions? Is 2a what I need?
Thanks,
Tim
Unless you're using custom kernels, I believe the htc one is limited to 1a charging

I havent tested it properly yet, but the connector seems to be the same as the Galaxy S2 (the phone I still use ^^) so I assume the charging cables will work for the Note as well.
I only mention it as they may be available cheap in places, because the S2 is an old product.
I may be wrong about this though, I'm sure someone will correct me if I am

Any generic MicroUSB charger that can supply 2A of current will work fine. The voltage range will be close enough, and won't harm the device. Even an older charger with a lower current output will work, but will take longer to charge.
I have multiple chargers of different brands, and all work just fine with this tablet. SO glad Samsung switched to MicroUSB instead of that ridiculous 30pin the last version had.

interesting. when i had the original note 10.1 using non samsung chargers would result in a big red X over the battery and the device would not charge

The same thing occurs when you plug it into a computer's USB port, which typically supply 500mA, so I'm guessing your charger supplies around that amount of current. Was it one of those wall chargers with multiple USB ports?
I've tried an iPad charger and a Rocketfish 2.4 amp 5v generic tablet charger and neither was recognized by the note nor would it charge from it. So far only ~1 amp chargers work for mine aside from the samsung one that came with the tablet. Very disappointing. I was under the impression that in general for electronics voltage needs to be roughly as needed but amperage can vary as the device will pull the amp amount it needs. Maybe I'm wrong.

That is exactly how it is supposed to work. As long as the voltage is with device tolerance, it will only pull as many Amps as it can handle.
I also have iPad and Rocketfish chargers, and they both charge my Note 10.1 (2014) just fine. I wonder if there is some kind of hardware defect with your MicroUSB port? Maybe try a different cable?

I tried a different cable and it worked. The cable I had been trying was the samsung one included in the box. Weird. Anyways, thanks!
Maybe the Note is compatible with Apple chargers. My wall charger was only advertised as Apple compatible, and i was glad that it charges my mobile at 900mA, but that was already an established standard back then. But it also charges my Note at 2A, probably the Note reads the id voltages on the data lines, Apple style.

Every charge problem I have ever had has been the cable. Any micro-USB charger should work, but they don't all charge at the same rate. I would imagine my blackberry charger taking 2 days to fully charge the Note 10.
9I Posted this on another thread. I'm charging 2 notes currently. One charging with the 5.3v and the other a 5.0v using the USB cables that came with the note. So only difference is the adapter. Can you tell which is using which charger? They've been charging for 45 minutes when I took this picture. I don't see why you would need a 5.3v tbh.

This is true. The stock or Motorola ones seem to work the best. I've used some eBay ones and they limit the charging amps even though I'm using a 2.0amp adapter. I've learned this a while back so I only order oem cables if I need extra.

Well, time to talk about our babe. The box is very simple, to green the earth maybe, there is not much to talk about the box, here is some pictures:

Here is what insides the box:
We got 1 charger, 1 USB cable (6 ft ~ 1.8 meters, according to Google), and 1 Welcome Guide. Well, do we need a manual for a charger? Actually I haven’t read it but I think Tronsmart is very kind to provide us a manual for their charger.
Here is our babe alone:
Some tech specs:
​
The cable is solid, and long, about 1.8 meters which is really long to me. The quality of the cable is really high.
You guys can check out the USB connector:
And the MicroUSB connector:
Let’s take a closer look at our babe ports, here you can see 1 QC 2.0 port which can produce about 5V/2A or 9V/2A or 12V/1.5A , 2 VoltIQ port which can produce about 5V/4.8A (2.4A for each ports).
Compare to the ASUS QC 2.0 charger:
Time to get our babe to work. In this short review I will test this charger to charge my Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) from 9% to 100%, time will be calculate by the stopwatch on the screen.
You guys can check the pictures below, the charger is slower than original ASUS charger a bit at the first 70%, but at the total time to 100%, it win! It took about 1 hours and 18 minutes to completely charge my Zenfone 2 from 9% to 100%.
Let’s get started.
About 9 minutes to reach 21%.
About 21 minutes to reach 35%.
About 35 minutes to reach 50%.
About 53 minutes to reach 71%.
About 1 hours and 7 minutes to reach 86%.
About 1 hours and 18 minutes to reach 100%.
Final thought, this is really good QC 2.0 charger for its price, build quality is great and the price is really acceptable especial when ASUS is selling their charger for about $29.99 USD in the US.
Key features
Cheap price
3 USB ports for charging 3 devices at the same time.
Great quality
Main disadvantages
Non for now
You can buy this charger at Amazon for $19.99 USD. Link: http://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-Cert...ck+Charge+2.0+42W+3+Ports+Wall+Travel+Charger
I have their quick charger with only 1 quick charging USB port and I'm also very satisfied with him. 15.9 $ on eBay..
@Tronsmart, is this charger have led ? and LED can changes color depend on it on normal charging or QC2.0 is active ?
I already try 2 QC2.0 charger. Aukey and LVSun. Sold my aukey, still have LVSun, now i want to try this tronsmart. Unfortunately, i only can get it on ebay/aliexpress, non local seller (indonesia). Take more than a month (if lucky).
@dasklney - In this test, was the phone connected to VoltIQ or to the QC2.0 port?
It was connected to QC2.0 port
Is charging mi power strip fast ?

I also see that you also have a mi power strip.
Since it provides charging at 5v_2.1 Amps.......so tell me
Does it also quick charge?
And what time it take to charge your phone from mi power strip.

I only monitored the Tronsmart Quick Charge only, when charging with Mi PowerStrip, it only shows normal charging, and I use Mi Powerstrip more often then quick charger.
I also just recently bought the [Qualcomm Certified] Tronsmart Quick Charge 2.0 18W USB Car Charger. I haven't tried it yet but based on your review I can't wait to start using it & see if it's as advertised. Thanks for sharing.

Finally got a chance to use the charger briefly today. Not sure about how closely it performed to specs but I've found an unexpected benefit - it works with my wife's ancient cell phone! We've tried many different car chargers and nothing's worked with her phone. So I can guarantee that it is indeed backwards compatible.
Is it compatible with Asus Zenfone 2 2gb z008 (ze550ml)?

S8/S8+ Power Delivery compatible chargers

When I plugged the S8+ into the MacBook 12's PD brick, it shows "cable charging". I thought the S8+ doesn't support PD. Today when I tried to use it with the rMBP USB-C PD brick, it activated Fast Charge. So the S8+ supports PD after all.
My USB-C 5V/3A portable battery and the Pixel XL / 6P bricks can't activate fast charge either.
If you know any other PD chargers that works with the S8/S8+, please share.

I can confirm that this Aukey USB C Car Charger with Power Delivery works. I got this for the wife's car for her Pixel, but my S8+ also comes up as fast charging when I connect it.
This reddit post implies that in addition to the QC 2.0 fast charging (and since QC3 and 4 are backwards compatible any QC charger will work) it can also negotiate 5V at 3A over USB-PD, however (non-PD) Type-C USB charging can provide 5V @ 3A so it's more likely it's using that rather than USB-PD per se (though for all intents and purposes the end result is the same with regards S8+ fast charging) as long as the charger provides it.
Ive read that qualcomm 2.0 os basically 3 amps. So in theory any charger that provides 3amp output should work as fast charge
Nice find, thanks for the heads up (and a shame I don't seem to be able to find this one in the UK).
Do bear in mind the phone will draw a maximum 15W (either 9V @ 1.67A over QC2 or 5V @ 3A over USB Type C) even if the charger can provide more.
I assure you that the Flux Charger would be the best portable charger for your S8/S8+. One of my friends uses it for charging on the go. Also it provides fast charging.
How does this differ than Anker QC3 , other than type C;

The Wikipedia article on USB, particularly the power section, is worth reading.

So it would seem with my S8+ and the Anker charger I gave the link to, there would be no real advantage switching to this one.........Anker chargers have been my go-to chargers for years, but I always keep an open eye to others

Yeah, for the S8/S8+ it make no difference in terms of charging:

The phone doesn't actually use USB-PD either, but can fast charge using USB Type C, but it's often USB-PD chargers that gives that. USB-PD is more future proof for other devices, but right now there's no need to change your existing QuickCharge chargers or powerbricks.

Not exactly. With QC 2.0 the power supply can output 5, 9 or 12 volts, the phone will tell it what to output based on the battery level.. so if it's about completely dead it'll ask for 12 volts and as it gets closer to full back off to 5 volts. You need a power adapter that's compliant for that to work.
I received the Trianium charger over the weekend, it does fast charge off the USB-C port. One odd thing I've notice though is if I put my phone in my car mount while the charger has power, it goes into cable charge mode. Unplug and plug the other end back into the charger and it's in quick charge mode. Now if I put the phone in the mount before the charger gets power it works fine.
I recently got myself the AUKEY 27W Dual USB-C Port Car Charger. This is a USB Type C charger (and does not support USB Power Delivery) and with the built-in/attached USB-C cable it fast-charges my S8+ with the 5V at 3A that USB Type C allows for. The other port is a (non-USB-C and non-QuickCharge) USB charging port that can provide up to 2.4A.

Will this charger fast-charge Pixel 2 XL ?

Will this charger fast-charge Pixel 2 XL if I use it with a type-c to type-c cable ?

UPDATE: What about this one? https://torumart.pk/product/xiaomi-...-to-c-cable-compatible-latest-apple-macbooks/
I doubt a 1A would
The amperage of the power source must equal or exceed that of the device. Our device is 9V/2A or 5V/3A. This charger is only 2A at 5V. Attempting to use it will cause the components to overheat. In quick fashion you'll burn out the charger at best, or cause a house fire at worst.

What about the one below:
https://torumart.pk/product/xiaomi-...-to-c-cable-compatible-latest-apple-macbooks/
Also are Qualcomm 3.0 chargers safe to use?
That one provides 3 amps at both 5 and 9 volts. The P2XL only requires 2A at 9V, therefore that charger will safely quick charge the P2XL.
The brand of charger is irrelevant here. The only two things that matter on a charger are the voltage and the amperage. I've already covered the requirements for amperage in post 3 above. The requirements for the voltage are that the voltage of the power source must equal the voltage of the device itself. Unlike the amperage, if the voltage does not match your device will end up permanently damaged.

You are referring to this? >> https://torumart.pk/product/xiaomi-...-to-c-cable-compatible-latest-apple-macbooks/
Im currently using the one below and it charges slow as hell...is it even safe to use?
http://www.plugintec.com/surge-qc/
Also this one seems to fulfill the requirements you stated but its usb-a to usb-c instead of usb-c to usb-c. does that matter?
https://www.ishopping.pk/huawei-quick-charger-2a-with-micro-usb-cable.html
Also the one below does 5.0V/2.5A 9V/2A 12V/1.5A....will that work?

Yep.
The plugintec device I wouldn't trust, though it apparently is capable of matching the voltage as well as match the amperage. The fact it has variable voltages is not something I've encountered. I would take a multimeter to the USB port on the charger and see what the voltage actually is, as it may not be correct for the P2XL.
The Huawei charger only outputs 2A at 5V, meaning you'd burn it up. The Xiaomi charger only outputs 2.5A at 5V, meaning you would burn it up, although that one would take longer to wear out. What I am not understanding here is why you do not simply get the actual charger. On Amazon they have it for about 20 USD (2,477.92 PKR) and I'm fairly certain they ship worldwide. The only thing you may need would be a plug adapter, if Pakistan doesn't use US standard blade plugs.

I would love to get an original one from amazon but the problem is the cost of shipping. If I could get it for 20 USD with free shipping I would go for it in a heartbeat.
I would find a way to do it anyway. It's the only foolproof means of ensuring nothing goes wrong with the device you spent a lot of money on.
using this now to charge my phone. no problem with fast charging.

I don't think it's only about the volts and amps. QC 3 might have some same profiles as USB PD but USB PD devices can't negotiate the profiles with QC protocol charger's. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
USB PD is only available on USB-C chargers that support the USB PD protocol.
For the pixel 2xl you need a USB-C PD charger that can do 5V/3A and 9V/2A for rapid charge.

I think you're right about that. I'm only concentrating on volts and amps for safety reasons.
Hello guys, may I know what is max wattage your pixel 2 xls are giving? I believe it's locked at 18W. But due some reason my phone charges blazing fast n shows 27W. I use custom ROM n aukey charger.

It was originally only 10.5W when the first first came out:

But I think that's changed with updates but I never read any official confirmation of it.
