2 amp charger - Galaxy Note 3 Accessories

I've been hearing a lot about these 2 amp chargers charging devices really really fast. I heard them talking about it on the podcast also but I was wondering if they were safe to use with this device? If so I'm gonna purchase a few. I don't want to damage my new battery so that's why I'm posting this. Thanks.

I charge my N3 with the original charger (2A/5v) and bought a 2 meter usb cable, its 100% fullly charged in about 1-1,5 hrs i guess.

I have A 4Ah charger but with 4 ports can go as high as 2amps on a single port.
Usually it charges at 1amp.
Intelligent charger so ramps down charge when needed

Thanks Bro.....

I'm charging my note 3 using this charger which have 2 ports, one 2.0A and the other 1.0A. From 0 to 100% in about 2-3 hours.

It looks pretty good!!!!!! but I charge my Note3 with the original charger (2A/5v). Thanks for your post.

The original stock charger 5.3V 2.0A is the fastest, it was made for the note 3, even a 5V 2.0A will be slightly slower.

Do also note that the cable plays an important part in the charging time especially in my case where I'm using a third party cable and charger.
Using the following app, it can show how much current it's currently charging. Here mine, post yours if higher then mine. Can someone post the screenshot using the original samsung usb cable and charger as a reference too?

Just got my Note 3. It charges at 1800mAh on the stock charger (see pic).
It's weird though, because my Galaxy S4 charges at 1900mAh on its stock charger. I assumed that with USB 3.0, the Note 3 would somehow charge at a faster rate.

Thanks for the info. I tried charging with a third party USB3.0 cable and a third party charger and it did reaches to 1800mAh.
Using USB3.0 and USB2.0 cable does make a-bit of difference.
The upcoming Oppo Find 7 have this 4.5A charger that provide a technology call VOOC charging.

USB 3.0 makes a difference only to data transfer and not charging the battery when compared to USB 2.

You are right. USB 3.0, the latest version of USB (Universal Serial Bus), provides better speed and more efficient power management than USB 2.0. USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices; however, data transfer speeds are limited to USB 2.0 levels when these devices inter-operate.

Recommend MicroUSB Cable

Can recommend any microUSB cable (not USB3.0) to fast charge my Note 3?
I'm using a original Nokia CA-101 microUSB cable and it charges between 1200mAh to 1800mAh. It only 12cm in length so I'm looking for a longer one, say about 1m.

Same reason transfer rates are increased on a 3.0 cable vs 2.0 (standard) the cable has more metal at the connections literally doubling the capacity the cable can put out.

I'm confused. You say you can't fast charge with a USB 3.0 cable. However, if I read your explanation, it sounds like you can fast charge with a USB 3.0 cable.

Whoops I should have proof read what I wrote. 3.0 cable has faster transfer rate and can double charging speed and data speed and the 2.0 cannot have the faster speeds because it is smaller.
I'll edit my previous post.

You don't need a 3.0 cable to do a fast charge. Multiple people on this forum recommend this cable - I purchased two myself and can confirm that they charge at 1800mAh. Keep in mind that the Note 3 charges faster with the screen off than on (1200mAh vs 1800mAh).

I got one for my Idol 3. It works just fine...HOWEVER:
1) It is a slow charge vs. the USB cable (2-3 times slower).
2) Heats up the battery pretty quickly and gets pretty hot
3) Really inconvenient if you only have one wireless charging station and have to charge in the car or something
4) Tore mine because it was flimsy and I needed to charge using a cable (see #3).
Over all recommendation, yes, get it, it's fun to have wireless charging. BUT if you're going to be removing the plug everyday and switch between wireless charging and USB cable, be forewarned of what could happen.

Personally I feel the USB cable, with the included wall adapter, is STILL an extremely slow charge. That's one thing I dislike about this phone. The battery seems to take forever to charge just 5%. My phone was at about 60% one day and I decided to plug it in and went under battery and it said 4 more hours until full charge. 4 hours to charge just 40%? I wish Alcatel added the Quick Charge feature since the Snapdragon 615 it uses is capable of doing so.
Mine charges from about 25% to 100% in about 2 hours using included wall adapter with Dollar Tree USB cable (longer).
4 hours? That's a really long time. I charge mine using a sorts of chargers laying around and from nearly depleted to full, maybe 2.5hours max. :-/
The quality of your USB cable will affect the charge time. Cheaper cables contain less copper. I just replaced my ebay cables with branded, and the charge time for all my devices is much improved. The new cables were still under 2 GBP.
Thanks for the replies. I'm using a 6' charging cable from a brand called Xtreme bought at FiveBelow. Guess I'll start searching for a Samsung one or something.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I am using a USB cable from Dollar Tree. Can't get much cheaper than that. It charges just fine, from 25% to 100% is about 2 hours. The original cable that came with the Idol was not faster and it was too short for my use.

Actually it was just my charging cable that was the problem. I bought a new Anker charger and it charges the phone 10 times faster now. Really relieved that it wasn't something with the phone itself.

Fairly certain you'll need a case to be able to use it since there's no removable back on the Idol 3 so you'll need a case to hold it in place between the phone.

Any working "Fast car charger"?

Guys,
I was using "Samsung's Adaptive Fast Car charger" with my S7 and I used it with my S8 which is just charging in regular speed. Does anyone have any suggestion?

Hello. I use this one I found on amazon. You have to use the orange port for fast charge though. Works great.

The port is backwards compatible so it fast charges at the 2.0 that the s8 supports..

I think S8 is only QC 2.0....might be wrong on that. But if true, most QC 3.0 chargers support the 2.0 and 1.0 so you're covered either way with QC chargers
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018HXFN6W/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Got this one when I had my S7 and it works great. Works great with my S8 as well.
Have anyone tried this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B019...ar+charger&dpPl=1&dpID=41a0w8bG80L&ref=plSrch
I got the 3.0 fast charger from Choetech with dual USB ports. It cost me 15.99 on Amazon and it works great!
I can confirm the Anker 3.0 Quick Charge 42W works perfectly. Charges 1 S8 at Fast Charge rate and another at Quick Charge rate without any charger overheating.
Your choice in cable quality is also very important when it comes to charging speed and heat reduction. I use Aukey for 3' lengths and Anker PowerLine+ for 6' lengths with no problems at all. Anker can be a little pricey compared to other brands but I have never had a problem with one of their a/c blocks or 12vdc adapters, and thier warranty for usb cables is great.
I've been using this Anker charger all week after my old one that used to fast charge my S7 started to overheat. No problems so far.
Great feedback. Got me AUKEY dual car charger with QC 3.0
I'm using the official one (EP-LN930CBEGWW) and it does fast charge my S8+ as advertised

I have the one which I bought like an year ago. It can with micro USB cable.
My S8+ says fast charging, but doesn't. 30 minutes later still only 20-30%, even though it says 1:20 total charge time from empty on the screen. On the S7, 30% would be at 50-70% charge.

Just the charging speed, QC4+ should be around 4A, if I'm not mistaken? Haven't checked, but I think that's about what you should get. My Mi 9 charges at 3.3A with the stock adapter.

I bought the Belkin QC4+ charger and it seems to charge the same at the stock Chinese model (8/128) adapter.
Mid 4000s mAh @4.4v
Take it for what you will. I bet anything is better than the Global brick I guess.
I know it's working because my phone charges absurdly fast.
Look for rapid charging on lock screen
Or charge turbo on charge animation
I am using the Hama QC4+ charger, no Charge Turbo and no Charge Quick/Fast displayed.
Wonderful charger
It does charge kinda quick, and the text shows Charging Fast, but that's it. Disappointed.
Could always use one of these, they're fairly cheap and quite usefull for checking port/usb output
or you simply look at the GSI lockscreen which integrates usb meter
shows volts, ampers, temperature, battery% and speed status

This was not my experience at all. I bought that belkin 4.0+ and it averaged at 2200... I don't think the phone does Charge Turbo or even Fast on 4.0 / 4.0 + because it isn't really a QC 4 rated phone. Offical Xiaomi chargers that do 27 w are running at QC 3.0 (look closely at the brick) they do however have an extra mode which makes the QC 3.0 charge TURBO... here is the confusion I beleive after buying a Hama 4.0+ and this Belkin 4.0+ you said works but doesn't charge Turbo.

Found a 3rd party multi-port charger that supports SuperFast Charging on S20 Ultra

I know there don't seem to be a lot of 3rd party chargers that are capable of "Super Fast Charging" on the S20, but just wanted to drop a quick note that I found one.
I travel (well usually..) a bit, and try to consolidate my chargers a bit so I'm always on the lookout for decent multi-port adapters. As everyone knows, there are a ton of high powered adapters out there that you would hope give us the juice, but if you have read a bit - Samsung not only requires a PD port, but also PPS - and there aren't a whole of lot of adapters that support them.
I was hoping to pick a new adapter up to try and keep my Surface Go and S20 Ultra charged up, and not be a huge brick and came across this 65W 3-port bad boy: https://amzn.to/2L5d2uf from a company called Baseus. I have a couple of cables from them and they also seem to be popular on Aliepxress as well as Amazon, so decided to give it a try.
Got it in last night and paired it with a new USB 3.1 Gen 2 100W cable that I also just picked up, and lo and behold - I plugged that sucker in and "SUPER FAST CHARGING 2.0" popped up on the screen when using the top USB - C port.
Interestingly enough the second power only registered "SUPER FAST CHARGING" (no 2.0) and the USB-A QC port registered as "FAST CHARGING." Reading through the documentation it's because the first port can give the whole 65W, the second tops at 30W, and of course USB-A is limited. I guess that makes sense since Super Fast 2.0 is 45W with the Samsung OEM charger.
Bottom line, if you are looking for a 3rd party multiport that supports the max charging on the S20 (and I assume Note 10) - this one does the trick. I got mine on Amazon (they had US stock so came relatively quick) - but if you are willing to wait, can probably pick it up on Aliexpress or other source for cheaper.
I bought it for my laptop 4 months ago now its the only charger I use .

Nice! -- my primary use was for my Surface, and I didn't think I'd get the highest charge with the S20U, but was a pleasant surprise.

You can use any PPS PD charger like baseus 65W on aliexpress but super fast 2 will not be real.
Many chargers trigger Super Fast Charging 2.0 but before You will celebrate, please run battery charging monitor from play store. It will draw a charging curve. Almost all non samsung chargers will oscilate. You wil see around 6000ma and after 2-3s it will drop to 500, and again and again.
This can damage your device, and will take a long time to charge

Thanks for the heads up. I ran the app for a few minutes on the BaseUS charger and didn't see any of the dramatic dips as you mentioned above - so I'm hoping that's a good thing. Looks like a pretty consistent curve.

The charging current you are getting is not Super Fast Charging 2.0 even though it says so in your notification bar. This is mine with Super Fast Charging 2.0 using the Samsung charger and cable. Battery Charging Monitor will report a higher charging current.
Also wanted to add that the Xiaomi Powerbank 3 Pro with USB PD will charge the S20 Ultra at Super Fast Charging 2.0 and at 5A with the supplied samsung cable. And aftermarket Baseus USB C cable only gives 3A.

Interesting -- well, I guess my takeaway is that it isn't TRUE 2.0 super fast - but also it hopefully won't fry my battery! (i.e. not as fast as I'd like, but at least not going to damage the battery).

Also wanted to add that the Xiaomi Powerbank 3 Pro with USB PD will charge the S20 Ultra at Super Fast Charging 2.0 and at 5A with the supplied samsung cable. And aftermarket Baseus USB C cable only gives 3A.

I tried my test with a couple of 100W-rated USB 3.1 gen 2 cables - so it definitely wasn't the cables. But goes to show that cables are an important part of the equation too!
SFC 2.0 require e-marked cables to work, as well as compatible pps charger.
IMHO the best option is to get 45w samsung charger. Other brands are hit or miss.
