[Q] Charging device for spare batteries.

I have two spare batteries and was wondering if there is some sort of device that someone came across that can recommend for me to buy. charging each battery by putting it into the phone would be too much of a hassle. Any suggestions?

how about this one ?
http://www.streaksmart.com/2011/04/...y-charger-available-now-for-less-than-5.html:)

I use this charger:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2x-1600mAh-Batt...316345?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e62e6deb9
Works very well (e.g. charges the battery before the next battery runs out, unlike some of the other ones available)
For $12 plus you get some more batteries, good deal.
There are many other auctions with the charger, varying in price and the number of batteries you get.
But the charger is good.

Well I bought this a few weeks ago and it came in the mail a few days ago...all i can say is nice..! It was 2 batteries 1600mah and a charger for like 18$ shipped and the battery last way longer than the stock one...I am very impressed and will let you know how they stand up...Today is my first day and I did not even drain and cycle charge them yet so I may get even more juice...I am very impressed for cheap ebay batteries...Anyways...cheers

I already have two batteries, I'm looking for a charger that can charge two batteries at the same time. I doubt that there is something like that out there lol

Anyone bought this? I did and it works lovely but when the phone is on the dock you cannot really use it. Everytime u touch the screen it goes haywire. Anyone else or is mine faulty?

Second Charger

Has anyone found a wall charger that they're happy with? I have an Amazon basics 2.1 Amp one that charges OK and shows up as an A/C charger in the battery stats, but it's not as fast as the stock one (which already is slow).
I'd post a link to what I have, but the forum still sees me as a newbie even though I've been lurking around for a few years now.

If you don't really care about super fast charging time almost all usb wall chargers are the same because of the limitations of a usb cable. Just color, shape, and size might vary

I'm using the my hp Touchpad charger. It seems like it charges faster than the original charger. I'll have to test and see though.

I bought a pogo charger so it won't take up the micro usb slot and also safer charging with pets (or kids). If I'm lucky it will charge faster too.

the pogo charger uses the original samsung ac adapter though.. it doesn't come with one

I just use any random charger I have (I think I use an old Kindle one right now) and leave it charge while I sleep. I have no complaints and have a POGO on order.

I ordered the Powergen chargers for both the wall and my car. They supply 3.1 amps so whatever the max is that the N10 will take, it will get it.
Search for "powergen 3.1" on Amazon and you'll find both.

I'm using my Asus Transformer Prime charger with mine. It seems to work well.

Nice tip - thanks. That and the POGO has to be about as fast as it gets PLUS with the second USB port I will be able to charge my phone and tablet at the same time, same charger.

Thanks everyone for your input. I ended up ordering the Powergen 3.1 charger suggested above. I'll report back on what my experience is. I did note that one of the reviews of that item at Amazon says it charges the Nexus 10 well, so my hopes are high.

Next question - anyone know what happens if you plug in the POGO charger and a USB charger at the same time?

Your charger isnt going to make a great deal of difference in charge time. An updated and/or custom kernel will help a LOT more with that.

The AC wall unit isn't a charger, it's the power supply for the charger inside the N10.
Me and another N10 owner measured how much current the N10 draws from the PS and it was less than 1A, so the device isn't even asking anywhere near the max that the PS can supply. Unless there is someother reason and there very well could be, a larger PS "might" be a waste of time/money.

I think the N10 charger uses a special usb protocol which allows it to charger faster than most

I'm intrigued; how is that? More importantly, does such a kernel currently exist? I started this thread in search of a second charger that just worked as well as the original one. I'd be happier if could find something that did better than the OEM.

What I can tell you is that both powergen units charge the N10 fine.
What I can't tell you is whether they charge the N10 any faster than the stock wall unit. I haven't done any testing.
I'm expecting my pogo cable any day, maybe I'll do some testing then.
There are so many differing theories here, who knows?

Yes so many, maybe if someone would write to Mr google and ask him he would explains it to us hehehe

I have seen some dual USB port PS that are rated "total" for both "not" each port. How is this PowerGen 3.1?
Just check and it's listed as "shared", so that's 3.1A total.

The description clearly states that each port can supply up to 3.1A. If both are used at once, the 3.1A is shared.

All in one mhl adapter

Since there are a lot of knockoffs on ebay I thought I would come in with a pleasant surprise. I bought http://item.mobileweb.ebay.ca/viewitem?itemId=130783773578this expecting the worst and was pleasantly surprised at how well it works on my Note2. The only thing is the usb cord is not very long and you have to have it plugged in so that the phone is charging for it to work, but for the price is awesome.

I ordered one just like that off of ebay as well and it works for me too. They all have to be plugged in to power to work.

Well I learned something today. This is my 2nd Samsung phone and first experience with mhl adapter and didnt know it HAD to be plugged in. Thanks.

Thanks for the link.. at $12 it's a cheap enough gamble.
Can you detail where the length is lacking? Easy enough to add an extension for length?

The HDMI part of the cable is 6 feet like advertised but the usb power part is less than half that length. I have a usb extension cable somewhere but can't find it to try it :banghead:

That's what's posted up a bit and mine wouldn't work without power source. Learning curve lol.

One thing I did notice is that even with it plugged in and "charging" after a couple hours on watching you tube the phone dropped from 80% to 72% battery so not really sure if it's charging or if it just takes that much power. I was using the wall charger that came with my phone so it should have been getting the 2 amps.

I think this mhl cord probably only allows 500ma. Something I use to counter that is this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nkahoang.screenstandby
It allows you to turn off your screen, because even on the lowest brightness it still eats up the battery.

Good thread. There are a couple on amazon like this as well

For those of you who shop at monoprice, their 11 to 5 pin adaptor is back in stock and they even bundle it with an mhl adaptor.
I can't link to it as I just registered here, but it's under accessories>cell phones

Cheap wireless charging pad for verizon LG G2?

Can anyone confirm a cheap wireless charging pad for the Verizon g2? I know its set up for wireless charging but I was wondering if there is a cheap dock or pad on eBay that someone can confirm is working.
Thanks

I got a Yes Digi Qi charger from Amazon (link). It works just fine with my G2. The first time I put it on it kept connecting/disconnecting the power rapidly, until I realized it has to sit up just a tad above being centered. I haven't had any problems since.
I haven't received my case yet (Incipio DualPro), so I don't know if it will work with it. I have, however, gotten it to charge through a stack of about 20 sheets of printer paper so I'm sure it'll be fine with a case.
Update: Just got my case yesterday. I can happily report that the charger works with the case. Yay!

Thanks! I will be receiving this as a gift. Hopefully it works...

Just received two of those ... they work great !
The LED is very good to tell you if the link is good. Easy to locate the good spot.
Charge pretty quick (VZW LG G2, Nexus 7 all with covers).

Nokia DT-900 Half-off
The Nokia DT-900 is currently half-off on att.com, if anyone's interested.
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/chargers/sku6290260.html#fbid=Qec_2FFDzlV

The Nokia's look like they are small and thick. I'd like to see some pics of the Nokia with a G2.
The Lerway looks similar to my Samsung model except it lacks the LED, which I can do without. I'd spend $20 on a Qi Charger. Can't see spending $50+ though.
DERP!
Just watched a Youtube video and realized the Nokia DT-900 Qi Charger uses a stupid barrel plug for power. FAIL. Instant fail. I travel and love being able to take 1 wall adapter, 1 MicroUSB cable, and my Qi Charging plate and it lets me Qi Charge, or charge my headphones, or tablet, controllers, etc.
Not interested in a Qi Charger that requires its own power supply. I'd rather do the LerWay or try to find another Samsung for $24 (what I paid for mine).

That's pretty cool! Let us know if the 2.1A output will achieve fast charge. I just got a power bank and even with the 2A output it slow charges.

I don't think you're getting a fast charge with Qi. I think the transfer rate is super slow which is a limitation of the current technology.

...not a charging pad
This is a receiver that is charged from a charging pad, not a charging pad itself. Not sure if that was clear....

Does that charge as fast as a normal charger? I think wireless charging would be nice (though not really necessary) so if it works just as fast or faster i might get one but if not then i dont see the benefit for myself. Thanks

Whoops, sorry I took so long to respond. It's definitely slower than the wired charger that came with the G2. But on the other hand, I'm in and out of my office throughout the day, so it's nice to just pop it on when I'm in and let it sip some juice. It's usually full before noon, even with me putting it on and off. I don't charge it overnight so it gets down to about 30-40% depending on my use the rest of the previous day.

Looking for a good fast wireless charger at a GREAT price!

Hello guys,
Can you please suggest a good reliable wireless fast charger pad for my Note 5?
Thanks!

Check out @polish_pat 's thread. It's a $20 wireless charging pad from Amazon. Got one myself and it works like a charm.
One caveat, however, is that I noticed the "sweet spot" for this charger is much smaller that with others I've had. I'm not sure if this is a side-effect of the fast charging, or poor design. Regardless, it's now a staple on my desk.

Agreed^^^

Just order one of these for $10(with code) from Amazon. Looks like it has very good reviews. We will see...

The best one I have found is the Choetech fast wireless charger. Good for by the bed since the charging light dims in the dark. Also connects every time. I also have the Yootech and it gets frustrating trying to find the sweet spot.

Well they are Genuine Samsung Fast Wireless charger. They perform as well or as bad as the one that is sold for $50 with no charger. It does not overheat or at least not yet. Jajaja! I will keep you posted.

This is the one I have. http://amzn.to/1pkVbTp
It works really well, full speed too if you use it with the charger that came with your note.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B015XF17VM/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1 this is the one i just purchased. It was a shot in the dark because it was so cheap but honest i was very impressed. It worked perfectly! I am using the stock wire and wall charger but it definitely provides wireless fast charging for only 13 bucks. It does like to be in a particular spot but who cares!?!? For the price you cant go wrong.

I have it sitting on my desk right now, and through a case it is charging via fast charge.
As long as you have it plugged into a fast charge capable adapter it will fast charge.

@shhuhs Mine works great so far. Cheap, steady and fast! I think you can contact Choetech to ask for a replacement.

I recently bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018QW09Z4/
It has a huge sweet spot, supports wireless fast charge, comes with a QC 2.0 wall adapter & cable, and only costs $19.95.
