[Q] Standalone BAttery FAST CHARGER?

Well, I have about 3 batteries for my Optimus 2X, and I'm managing of buying another extended one (3500mAh).
I have an external standalone battery charger which is the usual crap you'll find on eBay...there's no choice , they are all the same model

Now, the problem is that this charger, has a ridiculus current of 350 mAh +-50mAh
which is waaaaaay not enough to charge the battery in a decent time.
I mean the standard 1500mAh battery charges in something like 7-8 hours.
So the new extended one will take a full day to charge, at least this will not surprise me, considering the time it takes to charge the standard one.
So I'm searching for a wall charger that can charge batteries standalone... and that has a decent current I mean 800mAh or above.
It could be also integrated into a dock/cradle for the phone.....like the KiDiGi one (that should have a 800mAh current for the battery and 1000mAh for the phone), but it should have enough place to put an extended battery on it, which the KiDiGi one has NOT.
Hoping the community has some rabbits in the hat for me.
Thanks

thank you for your reply but it is the same charger i already have.
That specs are the specs for the USB output.
If you look into the photo of your link, you'll see that the battery itself is charged at the usual 350mAh....
the specs are the same of my charger....sadly

I should say thx to you, it was thinking of buying 1 to charge my extended 3500mah battery I just purchased from ebay
I just got my 3500mah delivered is charging right now in my phone
looking for a charging dock to

let me know how long did it take and if it was with phone off or on, and via wall charger o USB.
I ordered mine 3 days ago...

The battery was already charged to 95%, let it charge for 2 hours to be sure it is full, deleted battery stats now it's 5 hours ago and still 86% wifi as being on all the time, mail sync every 30minuts, and lots of Tapatalk, 30minuts of gaming,
Wen battery is empty I will full charge and let you now how long it takes

i put my phone on the charger with total empty battery (3500mah) on 11PM
at 7AM wen I waked up , the phone was full charged , so full charging overnight is posibble with the original charger
don't now how long it take in total , could not see because phone was total dead wen i put it tot charge , turned phone on in the morning and battery was total full

Quite expensive, but it outputs 1A
Good thing is that the adaptor is separate so you can use your own adaptor, maybe a 2A one.
But it looks shady cause the picture on the box doesn't look like Optimus 2X
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/dual-u...th-extra-battery-slot-for-lg-optimus-2x-73031 <-- if you're more comfortable with dealextreme
I went through the thought of getting a extra battery as well but the price and the extra stuff is just isn't worth it.
When i stop using the optimus 2x or if it dies i will have a almost useless cradle with useless batteries.
I went down the path of getting backup battery instead since i can use it on other devices. (the universal type)

EDIT: you can also get something like this but the output isn't great but you can use it for old phone battery and any battery which is 3.7V
There are a lot more like this, you can take your time to find the perfect one.

Thank you for your time!
Sadly none of them specifies the output current for the battery 4.2V @ xxx A
They only say that the usb port is feeded with the 5V USB spec voltage and the current of 1 A...this is the current that the phone receives and not the standalone battery. It's pretty easy to find simple wall charger to plug directly into the phone that will output 1A of current @ 5V.
The last one you linked seems to do, althought not explicited, 500mAh both on the USB 5V and on the 4.2V of the battery pins
Thank you in any case.

Most of such device don't regulate the current, usually just the voltage.
As long as the AC to DC adaptor can provide everything will go through (meaning the output current of the adaptor will be the rating going to the battery/phone or whatever)
And how much of it is used up depends on the device drawing power.
Note: you do have to beware of some made in china adaptors as the rated specs sometimes do not match up to the actual.

remaining on topic I think this could be useful 0.8A http://www.dealextreme.com/p/0-8-lc...-car-power-adapters-for-digital-cameras-41216
Regarding the 3500mAh extended battery this is the measured capacity after ONE cicle of charging/discharging from Battery Monitor Widget
I think this could be useful in the future, I will update it if the capacity increases meanwhile I charge/discharge it...at least for the few first times this could be possible.

Battery
I think the stock one is good to have ! No need to change !

My eBay charger works fine, charge time is long yes but it charges about as long as my battery lasts did I'm never running out.

yes but it is useless regarding the focus of this topic.
We are discussing about standalone spare batteries chargers.

I think it is better to charge your 3500mah (or 2500mah?) battery using a 2amp usb adapter. Charging a lithium battery at anything 1c and below is very safe. So if you're charging 3500mah (3.5amp) battery on a 1amp charger, it's only like 0.3c which is way less. Atleast if you use a 2amp charger, you can charge your big battery around 2hrs tops. But there is no desktop charger with 2amp output though, just usb adapters, mainly for ipads.

2 amp car charger?

So, I know the Note 2 uses a 2 amp charger. Are there any good car chargers that can output in 2 amps? I currently am using a Motorola one, and I think it's just 1 amp. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I found a 2A car charger on the shelf at Wal-Mart for $8. Works fine for me.

If you have a 5 Below near you, they have a 2.1 amp dual for 5 bucks

didn't want to risk blowing up my phone or car with a $5 fake from ebay

The charger I bought for my Captivate charges it, I'll have to look at it to see what amperage it is.

I have this charger from my previous iPhone and it works like a charm! It is 2.1amp but I don't think it hurts the phone since it has smart technology to direct the power as needed!

The motorola one you have is still a beast when it comes to recharging. I have a few of them, one in each car and an additional one for business trips. While running gps, streaming music, and the screen on, my battery still recharges. I have other 2.1 mAh chargers, but always come back to the motorola one. Especially since they are around $5 on amazon.

Hope it wasn't the one I found. It SAYS 2A on the box but it has 2 USB ports and thus feeds 1A PER PORT.

The Samsung OEM car charger for either the tablets or the Notes is a 2A unit.

That's the exact one I use as well. To give you an example, the Note 2 just can't be charged via standard USB port. 450mAh is not enough. I will see if I can do some testing to show you the differences visually this week.
Driving 45 min to pick up the last 64gb microSD card for sale in TN at radio shack (for $39) I had bluetooth on, sharing my data connection with my wifes tablet via foxfi, and using gps, the motorola still can charge the battery while all that was running. At my office, we would call that FM, because I can't really explain how it works just as good as my $15 2.1mAh charger.

What app are you guys using to measure charging rate?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

I use a 3A charger in my car, but it's all wired in. Got myself one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DC-DC-Con...plies_ET&var=560164310799&hash=item3ccbaa5de8 , a 3 way switch, 2 'add-a-fuse' things and wired it all up behind the dashboard with just my Micro USB cable poking out in the drivers side of the dashboard, which plugged into my old car cradle when I had the HTC Sensation. The switch is mounted in one of the blanking plates down by my right knee (right hand drive) and lets me choose between off, on and on-with-ignition for the charger. At the moment I have to plug it into the bottom of the Note 2 myself but I'm planning next to de the wireless charging mod, and integrate the charger into the cradle I have, with NFC also in there to activate car mode when I put the phone in the cradle for (IMO) the perfect solution with no wires trailed all over the car, and my lighter socket free for other things
It was all pretty cheap as well, and an easy mod to do - even though the cradle is on the opposite side of the car to the fuse box and I had to pull out the whole radio and centre console to route the wires... all hidden away now though.
I'll be doing the same on my next car as well.

I was looking at *low profile* dual USB ported chargers but it appears from my lack of knowledge that these are all wired for iPad charging and without a specific charging cable they will only supply max 1A to the Note 2. Can someone with more technical knowledge of the vagaries of USB power please clarify in simple terms?

I would have thought the iPad would take a higher current than 1A

Were to buy note 2 charger?

I am trying to find the original charger for Galaxy Note 2 but I can't seem to find it anywhere. The one I currently have is 1A. Are there any local stores that sell the charger like radioShack?

how long it took for the to ship it to your door?

Took about 2 weeks I think, not bad compared to some case I bought from overseas takes almost a month to arrive.
I compared it to my Tmobile oem charger, the writing is different, I dont know how international version looks like, but if it's non oem, the quality is so damn close to the original.
Sorry havent got chance to use it, since I left it at office for emergency, but since the batt is so good I never ran out of juice at work, so different with my prevous s3.

Mine was delivered in 11 days. Looks like OEM to me, works as expected.

I ordered some off EBAY - they say 1A but they charge just as fast as they are supposed to.

This is a 2A and it definitely charges faster than when I use my old OGN 1A charger. I now have 2 x 2A chargers that I keep in my offices for when I need a quick bump in battery level and the old 1A stays by my bed for the overnight charge.

there is a much easier solution, buy the tablet charger they are rated at 2.1A
you can get either the Apple one or the Samsung one and get the micro usb cable so it fits the note.
I like to keep 2 charges one for work and the other at home, carrying it you are bound to forget it, but even if you do the battery on the note 2 is beast.

Is it possible the voltage is more important than the amperage? Because these charge fine.
Or should I be concerned?

In this case the amperage is what makes the difference. The GN2 will take advantage of the extra amps where the GN1 would only take advantage of up to 1A (maybe a little more). If they work fine for you, there is no reason to be concerned. Maybe a bit slower charge but it's not a problem.

Wireless charger

I have not seem Samsung has this product for Note 2 but see lots of 3rd party wireless chargers available on the market. Is there any difference or anything we should watch for such accessary for Note 2? Thanks!

The Sprint version doesn't support wireless charging, the international version does.

it's about both, you need both the receiver and transmitter for wireless charging.

I investigated wireless charging for a time, but it appears nearly all wireless chargers charge at a particularly slower rate (0.5A). With such a big battery on the Note 2, this leads to pretty crazy charge times. Having said that, there are 'some' chargers which are 1A, like so:

I just bought a 3rd party receiver sticker and charging pad. The receiver sticker is placed beneath the back cover. It works with Samsung charger comes with the phone. When I place my Note 2 on the pad, there is a pop up message saying "Wireless charging - You have placed the device within range. Now charging wirelessly...". I am testing how long it will take to have a complete charge. The initial feeling is that the charging is slower as compared with wired charging with Samsung charger.

I got a pretty good combo, so far. Its a generic black PowerQi + slim receiver (black) bulging is really minimal. Cant even tell its there. got both from ebay. Charging time is comparable to stock charger or even faster. Been trying different scenarios (position of the phone on the charger) and so far its been working great even with a spigen case on it. I will report back with update maybe with pics as well.

I'm curious about you mentioning about the speed is comparable to stock charger, as the stock charges at 2000mAh whiles the qi only has a max of 466mAh.

I've sent them a message asking if the magnet affects the compass and the pen on the note 2

Synergy Wireless Charger
Hi Bryan792 and jyan_osu,
Thanks for mentioning Synergy. I'd be more than happy to answer any additional questions anyone has in this forum. Synergy might disrupt the earth's magnetic field when using the Compass, but any receiver module with a magnet could have a similar impact on the earth's magnetic field. If you use the compass regularly, wireless charging may not be for you. Please note that we have not experienced any issues with the Note 2 pen.
For more information about Synergy, please go to Kickstarter.com and search "Synergy".
Thanks again.

Ultra Portable Battery Pack

Hopefully someone here can help. I absolutely love my s6 Edge. What I don't love is the battery life. Today I took it off the charger at 6:40am. By 3pm I was down to 31%. I fully charged it and at 11:20pm I'm down to 18%. I'm looking for an ultra portable charger. Something small that can give me one full charge. Small enough to fit in my pocket and wouldn't be noticeable or uncomfortable. Preferably with a built in cord.

best portable battery charger. it has Qualcomm's fast charge 2.0 to charge your phone and it will charge itself using fast charge too. its also aluminum.

I have the LithiumCard and love it for it's portability.
http://linearflux.com/lithiumcard/main.html
The PRO will charge the S6 Edge fully once. The regular LithiumCard will give the phone about a 40% - 45% charge which is usually more than enough to get me through the rest of the day should I need a quick top off. Best thing is they have a built in USB plug for charging (can do pass-through charging) as well as a micro-usb so you don't need to carry any extra cables. They charge the phone fairly quickly also.
When I want a little more juice that can do two full charges, I carry this. It's a bit bulkier than the LithiumCard (but in no way considered bulky compared to other power banks, IMO) and it usually stays in my backpack/briefcase/etc. This also supports Quick Charge 2.0 (Fast Charge)

Just wanted to post this 3000mAh lipstick sized battery back-up. It has worked great for us and we have used it for about 3 to 4 months now. It was one of the only really small sized 2.1A battery back-ups I could find. There are a few listed here so if you like it make sure to select the one that currently costs $12.99 the others are only 1A chargers. We like this one so much I have ordered 4 to give away as gifts.

does anyone know if there is a fast charge power pack with at least 15000mah capacity with a screen saying output and charge left? big ask?
been researching for a long time and haven't found one that actually states it has all of the above…

I have just ordered this and will review it when it arrives. I had the aukey but didn't like that for a battery that size it only had one usb output. This one also supports QC2.0 to charge the pack itself.
http://www.amazon.com/CHOETECH-1560...487&sr=8-1&keywords=choetech+quick+charge+2.0

I used a custom ROM because I wasn't interested in wasting money on a charging case. If you take the time to read up on that stuff it's actually very useful and free! My battery has never been better.
I would send you a link but I'm new to the XDA group.

I've never had bad battery life on my S6 Edge. Although, when I need a backup I can recommend the Aukey Quick Charge battery pack.
