I just received my LG G watch, but its got UK charger. I got a charger form a Nexus 4, which its almost the same (input..and all), but the OUTPUT is 1,2A instead of 0,85A on the LG G Watch. is it usable? will it affect my battery?
It will be fine as long as the output is regulated 5V. The watch will only draw the current it needs.

Hello, I just got my Samsung ETA-U90EWE charger (US plug) from eBay and when I use it to charge my Note 2 it shows that it delivers 1698mAh of current into the phone. However, when I use the ETA-U90UWE (UK plug) that comes with the phone, it also displays the same input current, but with the UK one, it charges much faster. What is the problem?
Note: In both cases, I use the same USB cable which came with the phone and both charger delivers the same 2A current at 5V.
Thanks.

that can be faulty charger
This information might be out there already, but after noticing the LG charger works much faster at charging my G2 than a Nexus 7 charger, I did a quick test using CurrentWidget to record the charging currents for each setup to see if it's the special LG USB cable or the LG charger base / AC travel adaptor (or a combination of both) which is needed to enable the fast charging.
It's been mentioned here before that there are extra non-standard pins / contactors on the LG USB cable which presumably are used to deliver higher charging current, but it seems that there is nothing special about the LG charger base / AC travel adaptor which use these. Using a standard generic AC charger with a USB port on it is enough to charge the phone quickly as long as the LG cable is used. (and provided its rated for a current output >1.8A)
LG charger + LG cable ......... 1600mA
LG charger + standard cable .... 250mA
2A charger + standard cable .... 270mA
2A charger + LG cable ......... 1600mA
(Tested using D802 running Mahdi Rom 07/29)
well thanks for the info. it is good to know

Neither. I use a multi-USB charge station and a third party USB cable and get high speed charging on my G2.
A number of cables will work but it seems hit and miss. My Nexus 10 is just the same, but even worse. With the 'wrong' cable it can take 3 days to charge, even when off.
I use a Blackberry Playbook charger rated at 1.8A/5VDC, and according to GSAM it charges at up to 1500ma depending on battery level, about the same as the stock charger and seems to charge it just as fast... pretty cheap too, just over $5 shipped... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052F7ZWY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I Have a lumsing 5 port charger, variable amperage smart charger, its rated at 40 watts.
I have noticed it is truely a smart charger i can charge my LG Gpad a LG G Stylo My kids tablets and my LG L90 all at the same time... Now as of right now i have no complaints about it but has anyone used one? anyone interested in or could use it?
I wish I could post a link but maybe soon i can meh...
Hi.
I've just got this phone. I was surprised there was no charger in the box (not even a cable) and all the instructions are in Japanese which doesn't help
I would like to know what sort of charger is best for this phone. I am currently using a Moto X charger which delivers just under 1.2 amps. I see many of the later LG phones are using 1.8 amp chargers. I also have a Nexus 10 charger which delivers 2 amps but I decided to use the Moto X charger for now.
Cheers.

Here's the English manual.
Apparently it didn't ship with a charger in Japan either. Both the chargers au sells for it are 1.0 amp.
I charge mine almost exclusively with a 1.8 amp LG charger. Also used that same charger with the Fx0's cousin devices I've owned the Volt and G2 Mini with no issues.
Just received my Moto Z today and the included charger was TurboPower 15.
Where I can find TurboPower 30 ships internationally
Getting an original charger will be difficult outside of US. (if previous experience is anything to go by)
There's a brand called Blitzwolf that makes good QC3 certified chargers, here's one store that has a EU plug 30W QC3 model:

http://www.banggood.com/BlitzWolf-2...to-USB-3_1-Type-C-p-1015831.html?rmmds=search
By Chinese standards they're quite expensive, but I've never had issues with their stuff.
I shop from this store a lot, they always deliver, but it takes some time to arrive.
Edit:
Btw, Turbo Charge is a Moto renaming of Qualcomm QC 3.0 technology, BUT;
A moto turbo charger won't charge an LG with Fast Charge, and vice versa.
Samsung quick charge won't accept LG or Moto etc.
Extremely stupid, but Google has put their foot down on this, demanding all manufacturers abandon their proprietary systems.
This charger will however charge ANY brand "turbo" technology.

I bought a Blitzwolf 4x2.4A+1xQC3 charger and it is really a *great* object. On "standard" 2.4A ports, it charges my LG G2 (a lot) faster & cooler (on battery) than every other charger I've tried!
I can only imagine how it can be good on QC3 port too...
