So our A7's need an AC Adapter that is 19V 1.57A 30W. Anyone had any luck finding a spare?
Netbook Adaptor
My dell mini 10 and acer netbook ac adapters work fine. Same voltage, amps and plug.

Cool thanks do you have part numbers?
Here's the Dell. It's pricey at $49.99.
Manufacturer Part# : 313JX
Dell Part# : 330-9808
My Acer is at work. But here's an adapter at Amazon for only $9.95 that's for the same model (D250).
I also found a DC (Car) charger for only $6 ($11 w/shipping) on Amazon. I ordered it.

Depends on your luck, you may be able to buy Kensington netbook AC adapter for as low as $15 (Acer D tip included).

Wow, I bought that car charger for my sisters Acer netbook. So, you say it will work with my A7. I am in no way an electrical engineer. If the A7 requires 1.57A and the car adapter output is 1.6A is there any issue with this 0.03A difference?
The current (Amp) is not the issue. It is the voltage that is more critical - needs to be 19 Volts. As long as your charger can put out the same or more A it will charge the unit, if it had less A, it would still charge but get hotter and take longer to charge.

So if I have a charger with higher A and higher voltage than the a7 requires, is it safe to use it? (Specifically an extra laptop charger.) The adapter looks exactly the same, and fits correctly (I've only tried it with the charger unplugged). Any advice you could offer would be great! Thanks!
Higher amps yes but higher volts no.Think of it this way,Volts is the amount of electricity that the charger puts out and the amps is the strength that it pushes it out.So to many volts is bad but extra amps.means that it should charge faster and not get as hot or warm as usual. Hope this helps.
I tried using the charger from my Acer AspireOne netbook (HacBook Mini ) last night.
Same voltage, same amperage. But when I took the tablet out of sleep mode this morning it was only showing 50% charge. Restarting it made it show 99%. Don't know if it was something to do with using the netbook charger, or something to do with an eLocity glitch, or something to do with a eLocityMod1.3 glitch... To many options to blame it on lol

I have used the Radioshack Enercell netbook power supply and it works perfectly. Product number :273-0407. a bit preicey at 59.99 but i know its safe
As the dell mini 9 uses the same charger,
I purchase the car charger for the mini 9 and works fine,

I have read countless threads and looked at many chargers and I just can't seem to find a 2a car and a 2a home charger. I just ordered this charger and this cable and it just doesn't work above 700ma. When I use the stock cable I get to 1300mah for a sec and then about 900 steady. This is on both ports. Someone please help me before I lose it! The only one that works at 1500mah is the cable and charger that came with my phone.

Well, I can say from repeated certainty that this 6' cable charges at the same rate as the stock cable but is actually nice.

Also, my Qmadix car charger with dual 2.1A ports does very near stock AC levels when charging 1 device. My results are in the mega 2A car charger thread, but that's a spendy charger.

I'm also looking for 2A replacement... How's the charging time compare to the stock Note 2 charger?
how do you measure the output while the device is charging? Is there an app to test how much juice is coming in real time?
I use a 2A HP Touchpad charger in my living room and a T-Mobile branded 3A dual USB charger in my bedroom (see links below). The T-Mobile charger charges my Note2 from 9% to 100% in less than 2 hours when I only use 1 of the USB ports. I'm not sure what the rate is when both ports are used. I've had this for a couple years and use it to charge (individually and simultaneously) my phones and tablets without any problem.

2 Amps. Extra USB port. Fixed wire (so you don't lose it). Bought it in October and it works awesome.
$12.89. It's the best option out there, IMO (aside from the stock one).

Hello, Long time follower, first time poster.
I cannot post the link, but if you search "Juiced Systems 4.2 AMP" in ebay it's the first item under "Best match" and it's $19.99
Has anyone tried these chargers that claim 2.1A per USB port? Or does anyone know of any similar car chargers that charge 2 devices @ 2.1A?
I just want to buy the best charger that isn't going to blow up my phone, and a dual charger would be excellent if possible.
Thanks in advance.

If it's the same one here from amazon http://www.amazon.com/Juiced-System...dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1 it appears to be apple only.
The one Android customer from that Amazon link said:
I bought this assuming it would charge my Droid DNA at an AC rate. Unfortunately, it charged at a USB rate and could not keep up with usage while driving.
It sounds like with that particular device, in order to get an Android phone to charge at an AC rate is to either modify the charger (through soldering) to short out the data pins or use a USB charge-only cable (DIY modification of an existing cable or purchased one). The Android phone should then see the charger as AC instead of USB for, hopefully, full and faster rate of charge.
I know you are looking for dual port, each with 2.1A - but I wouldn't hold my breath this one will output dual 2.1A without throttling down one of the ports. Its impossible to fit quality circuit in a small cigarette lighter package where due to excess heat the efficiency of your converter will decrease. And even if they manage to produce 4.2A you will either blow your fuse or melt your charger. Just think about it, you won't have any air circulation to even cool it down.
I only trust dual port chargers with 2.1A/1A rating. I reviewed one before - HERE from iSmooth which does work! Also, to my surprise, iSmooth charger was actually made for iPad/iPhone but it WORKS perfectly with Note 2. I can't voucher for other Apple converters, and as a matter of fact I have another one with a separate Apple and Android ports and Note 2 doesn't charge from Apple port. But the one from iSmooth I'm using right now works perfectly for Note 2 and also looks awesome in the car with a blue glow light
Hi all.
My original samsung charging cable has given up.
In fact it might have been a dud to start with as my phone took 6 hours ish to charge on a good day.
I am looking for a replacement but I understand that the note 2 uses a special cable and I can't buy a normal data cable.
Please could you recommend a good one that I could buy from the UK? Preferably from Amazon.
Thanks all.
You have a android phone not a crapple
You just need a micro usb cable
Should cost you around $1 on ebay
If you need the charger as well you want one with 2amps of output also very cheap on ebay

I posted this on another thread the other day. Another member had the same question.
I can recommend a couple of good options:
1. If you definitely prefer OEM, you can get one here, BUT, be sure to order specifically from the seller called AmazingSteals. Alot of other sellers are selling knockoffs. After reading a bunch of reviews on Amazon, I decided to order from AmazingSteals, and got a genuine OEM charger and cable. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009YDFX7Y/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
2. If you don't need OEM, check out this Anker. It's awesome. It has 2.0a and a 1.5a ports for simultaneous charging. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B8L36A6/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
I have both. Either will work great.

So the cable doesn't need to be a special 2 amp cable?
The charge itself is 2 amp and isn't faulty so doesn't need replacing.

There is a difference in the cables supplied by samsung or electronics that need Alot of mah. Get one on amazon that is for electronics that have big batteries. If you have a good charger with bad cable you get the lengthy chargers. Takes too long... Trust me

What about the blackberry cables?
I have a spare one but it doesnt say what it can carry.
The BB cable should be fine. The only way besides an ohm test is to just use it and monitor the charging behavior.

Will test and see how it goes.
Samsung cable charged 17% per hour and the blackberry cable does closer to 40% per hour.
Bonus.
I just got the anker dual port chargers. One for the wall one for the car.
Any recommendations for cables?
I prefer amazon since I'm on prime and I get a lot of gift cards from my cc company.
I got tripp-lite cables which wouldn't charge more than .4... I got 6 cables so it's not just one or two defective ones.
On amazon I don't see a cable with clean reviews.
In fact most cables and chargers that say samsung oem have reviews saying they are counterfeit. One would think amazon.com would guard against that.

Well, Amazon opened a door to any "merchant" so you can list anything you want under existing legitimate product
For cables, use only Monoprice stuff - http://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Plated-24AWG-micro-B-Ferrite/dp/B003L18S0E/ - this cable has 24AWG rated wires which handle up to 3A of current and will charge Note 2 at full 2A speed. Plus, they have gold plated connector and ferrite filter bead. 6ft cable for $3.28 shipped - YOU CAN NOT BEAT THAT!!! That what I use at home and in the car for years now.
I also noticed there are some Monoprice with 28AWG only, those can handle max 1.4A so more appropriate for 1A charging. Also, be careful the seller is actually Monoprice because I noticed a bunch of shady vendors listed under that Monoprice cable listing.

Not from US Amazon, you probably need to go to their www.monoprice.com website or see if Amazon in your country has Monoprice guys listed.
I would recommend the monoprice ferrite micro usb cables too. I bought 3 (6ft cables) and it charges all the gadgets at full speed (note 2, S3, tablets). It works so good people keep on taking mine. I had to buy 6 more. Also if you order from Monoprice directly it comes out to less than $8 for 3 6ft cables.

I've had very poor luck with these Monoprice cables ordered directly from them. They work great, for a short time. I ordered a dozen in both 6 foot and 10 foot length this summer. Since then, every single one has crapped out. They develop shorts or the connectors become weak and won't stay in the phone. It's a real disappointment as they work great initially and are a great price. My OEM cables are still going strong and get the majority of use. The monoprice cables lasted anywhere from 1 to 5 months. None longer. If it had just been one cable, I'd chalk it up to bad luck. But 12 cables is too many.
Note 2 cable repair
Samsung Note 2 charger is of 5 Volt 2 Amp and the data + charging cable is shielded cable, not the ordinary one. It takes lots of time if you charge through other cable or charger. One good thing about this USB cable, it is not soldered, it is crimped. So, you can repair it with little efforts.
There is a video on youtube for the same, As I am new in this community, can't post the link. You can copy the above text and search in google.
i need a couple more usb wall chargers that is as good as the stock one. i don't want to just buy any off of ebay since a lot of the cheaper one takes longer to charge and some are just outright unreliable. any good recommendation for under $10 shipped? i don't need the usb cable, just the wall charger.
I will have review of this new Anker 40W 8A 5port charger sometime next week, once I get it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GTGETFG/
You can get other single or dual wall chargers (Anker is high only recommendation list) for $10, but trust me, sooner or later you will need more outlets for your other phones and tablets and accessories. For $25 you get 5 ports and 8A of current to even charge 2.4A iPad w/Retina.
