I have a question for those who bought the Samsung spare battery charger device with the integrated stand. What is the rated output voltage and amperage of the charger? If should say so on the device itself.
Also, if possible, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me the actual voltage and/or amperage of the charger as measured by a volt/amp meter.
The reason I am looking for this info is because I bought a spare battery from Samsung, but the current charger that I have doesn't charge it all the way (only to about 91% full) since the output voltage is too low. I would like to purchase a third party charger since they are much cheaper, but I need to know what its specs should be.
I believe the charger your talking about is 5.0 volts and 1.0 amp. I haven't run it on a meter. I would say any usb charger with that rating or higher should be sufficient for a 100% charge

Sorry, I didn't mean the USB charger, I meant the one where you put a spare battery in it by itself to charge. Here is the link for what it looks like:

Sorry, shouldn't have said usb. I was in a sprint store on Sunday looking at that battery/charger combo and I it said 5.0 volts/ 1.0amp

Incorrect. The charger that comes with the phone itself is 1 amp, the charger that comes with Samsung's spare battery stand ebh-1g6mla is only .7 - the stand can accept input at either 500 mA or
1 A. It outputs only 4.2v @ either 450 or 900 mA.

no it won't it will just charge faster. higher amps does not meant the charger pushes out that many, it means it can provide up to that much.
TRUE... I charged my BB 8520 from S3's charger and battery got swollen.
Thanks for the help

Nope. The device restricts the Amperage by itself to 1Amp and the charger delivers 5Volt.

i think there was something wrong with your battery.
I have charged all my devices using the ipad charger 5V 2.1A and never had a problem. i use that because with the higher Amps I can charge faster.
Using a charger with a higher current rating won't really hurt with lithium ion batteries. Some other battery types can be affected by charging too quickly.

This is what Art had sent me...
Output 5.0 volts 0.7 amp
Did they give me the correct charger?

Its not the stock charger, but it'll work. Stock is 5v-1.0a
no, you should have a 5.0v 1.0 amp charger. if you use the .7 amp charger you will notice your battery life depleting faster then normal. you can get a charger that has an output greater then 1 amp (or 1,000mA), it won't hurt the phone as long as you stay at 5.0 to 5.5 volts. the phone will only draw what it need's in ampere's. i used a 1.7amp charger (till i lost it) for awhile with my phone's, the battery would both charge faster and last longer without any harm to the phone.
SHORT ANSWER... THEY SENT YOU THE WRONG CHARGER

I am wondering if I should call up and ask for a new one..
My battery dies a lot faster now since I started using this charger..
thanks for the input guys..
Greatly appreciated..
sorry for the response time..
I just bought one of those things you plug into the wall and it has two USB ports. One of the ports is marked 2.1A. Any reason not to charge the Evo from that?
EDIT: never mind, my bad - I found the answer in the forums.
What was the answer?

2.1 is the max amperage available for charging. It won't hurt anything, as the phone will regulate the level drawn to its maximum amount.
If you use a low-power charger, say .5A or below, then it will just take longer to charge.
The 3.0 that was mentioned is USB 3.0 (speed/revision), not the current rating.
2.1 will work fine. It will charge the phone noticeably quicker. I know this because I use my Nexus 7 charge brick to charge my phone all the time and it's significantly quicker.
It's also completely safe.

Your phone will not intake power at a higher rate than 2.1 amps. That's by electrical design, not by software.

So I wasted my money on an extra 0.9 amps?.. The charger was only $8 so it doesn't matter I guess. At least I have the power to plug something else in the second USB slot and not go below 2.1amps.

I was scared that I was doing damage to it by using my Note II's 2 amp charger! lol Thanks for that!
Hello,
I just installed ReVolt and the charge rate is just ridiculous. I can manually change the charge rate but before I do I need too know a few things. The first thing is on stock charger what is the Input Current? The second thing is what is the charging current, (the current going from the phone to the battery).
I know the risks and I'm not stupid I just need to know so I will not damage my charger and battery.
Have a read on the charger itself. It should say how many amps or A it charges at.

I dont know input but at output is 1A at 5V
Since u mentioned u know the risks, can u please give me a brief on em?
Whars the max that can happen?
And is the super fast charge worth it?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
On my previous phone I blew the battery from pushing too much current into it after I changed the charging current. I put 800 and my battery could only handle 650. On my previous phone the charger melted and almost caused a fire because I changed the input current to a higher number instead of using the right one.
I just want to make sure the same thing doesn't happen again. So for those who mock or who are rude just stop. Not everyone is a pro. Does anyone know the input current of the stock battery for the Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 while charging? What is a safe number. I'm using an app which doesn't show the right values.

I might as well enjoy long charges if no one knows the battery rate. I know the charger rate.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I use mine on default rate for mains and 900ma thru USB and it charges just fine and safely.
So long as the USB is capable of supplying 900ma (most modern PCs can) then there shouldn't be a problem.
I've heard of people using higher rates (mains is 1A, USB 500ma by default) than above but this can be dangerous, for both you and your phone.

I currently have this car charger:
http://www.amazon.com/PNY-P-P-DC-UF...fkmr2&keywords=usb+2.0+car+charger+pny+2.1amp
When I first got it, I shorted the pins to force it to charge in AC mode. Now that I know it is capable of 2.1amps and our phone can accept similiar amperage, will I need a micro usb 3.0 cable for it to charge at 2.1amps? Or will my old galaxy s3 usb 2.0 cable be able to charge it at 2.1 amps as well?

No, a USB 2.0 cable will charge at the same current as a USB 3.0 cable (1800mA with the screen turned off, 1200mA with it on).
If the max is only 1.8amp then why is our charger rated at 2amp?

Change the color to black and it's less than half the price. Isn't there an app that will tell you how much current it is drawing while charging?

I believe there is also a loss of energy during the transfer of energy. The process is not 100% efficient.
