I just found this at Newegg:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16855999185
Think it's safe to use?
Why not this one: http://store.xda-developers.com/xproduct.php?xProd=725&xSec=22
It works and is both USB Car & Home Charger
that is an interesting charger! yet, the question remain, is it safe? lol
I just bought something like that from walmart....You have to assume that if it has USB ports on it for charging then it puts out the 5v that USB is supposed to and so it "should" work. That said, I dont know for sure but I think its a good bet it wll.
Agree with the above post. Often these chargers will output approx 5V but only 500mA compared to the standard mains chrger at 1000mA.
I doubt, unless someone has one, that anyone will say for sure it is safe, if only because sometimes there can be problems with these kinds of charger where it will only charge when the device is off for example. Having said this it's very unlikely it will harm your Kaiser.

I have a car charger that is basically a USB plugging into the Cig Lighter with max output of 1000mA. When purchasing these it is always a good idea to contact the seller and verify the Max Output.
As for downside, it has the same limitations as charging from your PC USB i.e. generally they won't charge a battery under a critical (usually 10%) level or completely dead for that you need the OEM Wall Charger.
I have 4 of the wall/car chargers and have used them for at least 4 years or so on 3-4 different devices. One is from boxwave and the other three are from another vendor whose name currently escapes me. I've never had a problem with any of my devices and, at least for me, they charge well and fairly quickly.
Hello,
I have been a victim of stolen bag recently.
Inside, among other things, was my original X1 wall charger, which is lost now.
At home I have a couple of other usb chargers but although they are 5V the Amber are different.
I know they work, but I prefer to use one closest to the original output for the wellness of battery.
(I slightly remember that the genuine charger was less than 1A)
Could someone pls check the original power adapter and tell me which exactly is the output?
(thanks in advance)

700ma. you don't have to keep close to the charger's specs other than the 5V. ampre rating is merely affects the speed of charging.
Just like how u charge from ur computer's usb port, you get maximum of 500mA /port anyway.

Thank you alvino!
Further to this question, can anyone tell me if a Blackberry In-Car Charger is OK with the X1?
Any usb port charger will work with your phone. Although, you might not wanna let your battery drain completely, one of the cells may fail and you'll get the dreaded "On button red light" syndrome... which I did. The main solution to that is to replace the battery. Considering the difficulties I've had, I'm sad I didn't pick a C905 instead
as long as it's 5volt it can be 1MEGA amp
amps are drawn not pushed
ohms law is
A = volt / Resistance
the device will draw as much as it require nothing more
It works just fine with my Zune charger, which is 5v 1.5A.
Has anyone purchased a reliable alternative wallcharger, one where you don't have to use the USB cable to connect with?
If so, any recommendations?
As I understand, certain chargers don't work very well with the Nexus S because of the different voltages. (This was an issue early on when people were reporting overheating, or bad charges with their laptops, using different USB cables, or using different wallchargers, etc).
If anyone can shed some light or provide some recommendations, would appreciate it. I don't want the cumbersome and hassle of unplugging my USB cable every time I travel when I need a wallcharger.

Someone posted about a very good wallcharger in here a few days back.
i use the ones from ebay
you just take the battery out, and charge it on the wall
meanwhile you use another battery
that is perfect
and the wall charger has option for you to plug in the USB cable to charge both the phone and additional battery at the same time

Do these chargers effect the stock battery in anyway? I just want to charge my stock battery. As I said, I've heard/read that different chargers and volts can damage/overheat the battery.
I'd also prefer to not have to shut down my phone to charge it. But I will consider this alternative. Thanks. Any particular links?
Anyone else, who might have recommendations? All I'm finding are third party alternatives and none of them are truly meant for the Nexus S. They'll be like a "Motorola" charger which happens to share the same size USB port opening.

I'll search again, but my initial search for wallcharger related posts turned up nothing. Could you be more specific?
it works fine with the OEM battery, i've been using it for a month
and the voltage + mAh is actually lower than other phones, so no there's no chance for it damaging your battery

Fantastic. If I really can't find one that just plugs directly into the phone, I'll purchase it (this one: http://www.cellphoneshop.net/m850desktop.html?CAWELAID=522866831)
Appreciate the advice/help, y'all.
How about this? http://www.bolddepot.com/smartphone-experts-micro-usb-travel-charger/5A17A3061.htm
It's a blackberry charger, but it discharges 100-240 volts, which I'm reading should be okay for the Nexus S, correct?
Allgamer, or anyone?
I'd prefer to just plug directly from wall plug to my phone without having to shut down and take out battery, if possible.
Bump. Anyone can answer my question below?

My blackberry charger makes my nexus s go nuts. When I plug it in the screen doesn't work properly and it corrupts the filesystem. With my dad's phone it manifested as the phone calling random numbers from his contacts list and mixing up his contact name and numbers. On my phone it started blocking calls from certain numbers. A reflash fixed both of our phones...but I won't use the blackberry charger again.
My wife uses a blackberry & I just realised that the slots are the same.
Checked the power input/output and it is identical to that of the NS.
Nexus S
Input 100-240V~50-60Hz 0.15A
Output 5.0V 0.7A
Blackberry
Input 100-240V~50-60Hz 10-20VA
Output 5.0V 700mA
The bold/italic is is the only thing different that I have noticed. Maybe some tech guy can tell if it matters. Anyway, I have gone ahead and used it and pray that it will all be well

The Blackberry current output is lower. The range is from 0.083A to 0.1A. Or conversely, the VA rating for the Nexus S is higher at 15-36VA.
The best I have found is the wall charger that comes with the Logitech Performance MX mouse.

This seems like a genuine charger?

Thanks for the information. Can you update us on how the BB charger effects your phone? Phone operating fine so far?
Also, what blackberry does your wife have? Is it the Bold 9700 charger?

Everything matches up on my chargers too. Let us know how it goes.

This may be a dumb question. I read in another thread that a charger with less current output may not harm a phone, but it will just take longer to charge. I'm wondering if a blackberry charger rated at 5.0V, 750mAh can work safely on the milestone? The original milestone charger is rated at 5.1V, 850mAh. I haven't tried it yet though...

I use my girlfriend's charger to charge my Milestone all the time. The way I see it, so long as the output is not greater than the Motorola-shipped one, then I should be fine.
I used a friend's Nokia charger multiple times - and it's rated 5V and 1200mA - no damage either.
The Milestone is designed to be content with Moto's 850mA charger - so if a charger CAN deliver more - it doesn't mean the Milestone does receive more.
On the other hand - I did no longterm tests to see if the Milestone CAN charge quicker with a more powerful charger.
Long story short - as long as the charger doesn't exceed 5V (which will be hard to accomplish using an unmodified USB cable - you don't have to worry about anything.
If it fits -> plug it in ;-)
If it's a USB/micro-USB charger, it will work. The current rating on the charger is the maximum it's capable of supplying. It's up to the device how much of that will be drawn.
Well, I have a few experience with charges on my Milestone. In this case, it has no problem for you Milestone...but it will take more time to charge then other charger.
I have posted this before in another thread..
As long as its a USB-Port, you can charge everything that is charged via USB. They are all (basically) the same. Its like plugging your device into the USB-Port in you computer. You wouldnt worry about plugging something in there. Same applies to Car-Chargers.

My neighbor lost his n900 becouse he pluged his phone on a Car-Charger....he didn't saw that the Car-Charger is 12v....
In my option, it important to check the volts before plug it on your phone and yes, you need to worry about plugging something in there...

mh. 12v is very uncommon. Idk, at least here in Germany (more or less whole european union) you dont have to worry about voltages. There is even a EU-Law that all phone charges can be used for every phone (USB-Based).
Sorry i dont know about the situation in T&B.

Either the Charger was violating the USB specifications (if he used a USB cable) or it coincidental used the same plug as Nokia used for their old phones.
I think that is OK, I had used BlackBerry chargers, ZTE chargers and Alcatel.. Different specs, but works OK (some of them slower than others, but are OK).
I think that there is no problem with that, just take a look to charge a phone using the PC and micro usb data cable.. Every coputer give to you different voltages and amp, but always works!

Errrm, no.
USB always has to give 5V - more than that can cause serious damage.
The only problem with diffwrent chargers could be the current dofference, but with lower current capable chargers lile the motorola v8

I have numerous chargers at home all of which have charged my evo, gs2, Nexus 7, etc.
Can these be used interchangeable in the Note 2 without harming the charging process?
Thanks
As long as the Voltage is the same (5V) there is no Problem. But you should have a charger at 2 Amper for optimal charging speed.
I just tried charging mine with the normal microUSB charger I use for every other phone I have had and it took 7.5 hours to charge from 5%-62%. I used the stock charger that was in the box and it charged it in 3.5-4 hours no problem. Seems like the charger in the box charges faster.
reading this thread made me curious, my NOTE II should arrive in about a week, I can't tell for myself yet, what is the A (amps) specification mentioned on the original charger?
as i come from HTC, my current chargers go up to 1 A current. witch is the double A a standard USB port will give unless crossover'd .
thanks in advance!

in the wiki thread i found the answer, the supplied charger delivers 5 V 2 A output to the device.

2A! Same as the Tab 10.1 charger.
Filling a 3100mAh battery requires some grunt.
i think even the usb cable makes a difference..
when i use the stock usb cable with the stock charger ..my s3 would charge up comparatively faster than with the other usb cable connected to the same stock charger.:rolleyes

It certainly does! :good:
All electrical cables have some resistance. Very low (but not zero) for quality cables, sometimes quite noticeable for thin and cheap offerings.
From Ohm's Law we know that voltage drop will be proportional to current. A cable with a resistance of just half an ohm will loose about 0.5% at 50mA. That's pretty much nothing. However, at 2000mA the loss reaches 20%.
dude use any charger, just don't use LG charger **** !!!!!
You must use the 5volt 2amp charger and cable provided or a replacement with the same output or youll either be waiting for ever for it to charge or do some damage.
I tryed using my note 1 charger rated at 1amp and guess what? It took about twice as long to charge.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Some of my old 1 Amp chargers aren't happy at all, and will often decide to stop charging randomly.
I though it was something weird with my phone, but after switching chargers it never happened again.

USA official charger
This are the images of the official USA charger that will comes when they release the device in USA
And yes its a 2.0A charger, so the SIII charger isn't appropriate for NoteII.
this is the kind of charger used in Canada, USA, and Latin America, i bought this NoteII in Mexico from an authorized Samsung provider, of course factory unlocked 710usd, like 10,900mxn.
Has anyone tried a 3A charger? Just wondering if this would speed up charging even more than the standard 2A charger.

No, it won't speed it up. It's what the device takes from a charger, and not what a charger can potentially supply. If the device's charging circuit is spec'd for up to 2A current, that's what it will suck out of a charger, not more. You can connect a 30A lab power supply, and it will still be the same 2A (or less) input. To speed up the charging process, you need to mod the charging circuit of the device itself.
