His opinion is supported by folks that have tested them. See a few of the threads that the OP should have searched for.

I've had better success with aftermarket than OE about 75% of time. Hence why I said it's more opinion based. Just like my Anker 3100 is better than the Samsung battery 3100 that came with the note 2.
99% of reviews anywhere are based upon the customers experience/opinions. Apple chargers always sucked for me. HTC chargers had many issues in the past.

I am not talking about reviews. I am making my suggestion based on science and comparisons to other chargers and knockoffs from china. If you're buying a flagship phone, buy a flagship charger. And a good USB cable. Cables make a hell of a difference in electronics that can accept more than 500mah charging.

I never said a knockoff I said after market those two are completely different I am talking about anker verses a knockoff generic. I will use a different charger that is an aftermarket and I typically use the Samsung cable that came with the phone or my heavy duty black berry cable simple as that.

I am talking about all chargers in general. OEM chargers are better than the belkins, tankers and whatever. I read a couple very good articles about how good or bad chargers are. The ones that come with our electronics are usually the best. USB cables vary, sometimes even within the same models. The Samsung and apple chargers are really the best value when you consider longevity, heat, reliability and some other factors I am not qualified to explain.

Yes perfectly safe.
Amps (current) are drawn/pulled, not pushed. More amps in a charger just means your phone can draw more without burning out the charger. It does not mean that the charger pumps out more than your phone can handle.
Volts are different. Too much or too liitle volts are harmful but all usb chargers are the same 5v so don't worry about that.
Lastly, unfortunately the different manufacturers have created different special schemes to trigger or allow devices to exceed 0.5 amps (to prevent a high draw device from trying to pull 2.0 amps out of a 0.5 amp usb port and burning out a usb port or possible even all usb ports on your expensive laptop!)
So, merely having a charger that says 2.1A on the side isn't enough by itself. You will still need to try differnt cables and try different models of chargers and even different kernels if you are rooted, or refer to reviews where the reviewer covered this explicitly instead of just saying "It worked great" which is a meaningless waste of everyone's time.
For instance there was another thread about chargers where they found that on a 2 port model that has one port labelled Apple and another labelled Android or just unlabelled, they found that they actually behaved different. The Apple port was 2.1A and the Android port was only 1.0 or 1.5A, yet a GN2 charged faster on the Android port. Because the GN2 didn't recognize the Apple port as being capable of high current, at least not with a standard cable, and so the GN2 was only pulling 500 or 700 ma, while on the Android port it pulled 1.0 or 1.5A.
So you really need reviews and testing that takes all this into account and specifies actual charging times and that make and model of the usb cable used etc. Or just buy the official stuff from Samsung which is all garanteed to match and work as expected without having to know all that unsuspected stuff.

I have quite a bit of cells and tablets, who doesn't, but I also have quite a few rc cars and helis. All the battery's we are using are Li-on although I use a ton of lipo (lithium polymer) on my rcs. Ive built packs, soldered connections, I charge 6 batteries in parallel, etc. I have a 530 watt adjustable 18 Volt 30 Amp PSU connected to a 400 watt 18 volt 20 amp balance charger. Granted if your not in the rc world this would be overkill for sure just to charge your cell battery. Point is you can charge any, repeat any Li-on or lipo battery at 1 C. . 1C is the capacity of the battery. All of my lipo rc battery's can be charged at 5C. That means 5 times the capacity of the battery. In our case the note 2 battery is 3100 mah or 3.1A for short hand notation. So if you have a big enough charger like I do, you can safely charge it at 3.1A in an hour. Some of my bigger packs are 6S 30C 10A packs. That is 22.2 volts 30C discharge rate and 10Amp or 10000 mah capacity and 5C charge rate. If your not familiar with the above jargon no matter, the OEM Samsung charger with the OEM usb cable that comes with it puts out 2.1 or 2100mah per hour or 2.1A . Our stock OEM batteries are 3100 mah or 3.1 A. So they will fully charge in about 1 1/2. Ive timed it several times and that is pretty accurate. This is with the phone being off not on while charging. It will take a little longer with the phone on while charging, about 2 hours. Hope this helps.

Wait, you are mixing things up! Your Xperia Z1 Charger does supply 1500 mA (which means 1,5 Ampere) of current at 5,0V DC.
Your Xperia S Battery has a Capacity of 1650 mAh (or 1,65 Ampere Hours) which means that it can supply 1,65 Ampere of continuous current for 1 hour (at 5V, I guess)
So: Yes, you can use a bigger charger and it will charge your phone faster, in this case nearly twice as fast. This will not damage your phone, as it will (as already said) just take the maximum current it can make use of.

I thought it was the chipset/kernel which had fast charge capabilities, not the charger?
If the phone only takes the maximum current it will make use of, it doesn't matter what the charger is spitting out, the phone will only draw what it needs to.
I could be wrong, but my Nexus 4 charged at exactly the same speed when I used my Nexus 7 charger as it did with the stock charger.

You are perfectly right! And it's also what I wanted to say. Of course if your phone is not able to draw more than 750 mA, a bigger Charger is useless.
But one can safely try it out!

mAh tell you about the capacity of the battery. You can even use 1 million mAh.
..and no it won't harm the phone
It does reduce the battery life. Or at least have a little impact on it.

Battery life has nothing to to with the capacity of the portable battery? What are you talking about.
Every charging reduces the battery life. That's why it is recommended to only charge the phone when it is at 10-20% and try to charge it to full.

no it won't
it will just charge your phone slightly faster,
if there's more than 2000 input then the phone will put a limit on it. so it should be fine
The discharge rate.
I might be wrong though cause I didn't read properly.
But voltage does have some impact.

Well the phone is designed that way, i mean sony engineers should be smarter than us so i assume its a best option.

I use a 12000mAh portable charger from New Trent and my phone battery is in perfect shape. It does not harm it in any way. I don't understand where the confusion is coming from.

mAh is a capacity measure , the bigger the capacity the more times you can charge the phone on a single charge (and usually also the bigger and more expensive the battery)
It's the Amperes which are Voltage/ sec given to your phone that you should worry about. Pretty much all portable chargers are suited to mobile phones and should not cause any harm.
I thought you were talking about travel adapter charger..
Yes current provided and voltage matters.
Silly me I was confused between mah and Amperes..
Thanks man!
But I think he's refering to amperes. Cause the one provided with z1 is 1.5 amp. And the portable battery is 5 ah. So he bought a 2.1 ampere charger.

There seem to be quite alot of confusion here. I am sure you mean the output of the charger, but if you mean the capacity of a portable charger, then it doesn't matter if it is 1000mAh or 1000,000mAh. But if you mean the output of the charger, then we don't really have a clear answer as this was asked few times in the forum, but I will try to explain the conclusion we came to.
our phone is supposed to support quick charge 2.0 which means in theory, we can use chargers with ~4.0 A (if I remembered correctly). why sony used 1.5 A is not clear, but I don't think using 2.0 A would have any effect except slightly faster charging time. I have been using my SGS4 charger (with 2.0 A output) since I got my Z1 (since release date). Last time I looked for even more powerful chargers ~3 months ago, I found that chargers with 4.0 A output has not been released yet and will be released early 2014. When they are released, i will contact sony and see if I can use it with my Z1 as in theory this should mean half charging time. I hope this helps
it won't harm the battery
The higher mAh rating might not have a direct affect on your phone... But what you said that the battery charges faster is a cause of concern. Do check the output of the charger you got with the battery. If the current rating is higher than your stock charger then maybe you're phone circuits may have problems.

Its the other way around, avoid going down to ~10% and try to keep it above 50%

The higher charger will increase HEAT and heating is the battery most bigger enemy .. Thats it.

I'm sure he meant the charge rate of the charger.
Maybe it won't affect at all since the charge current rate is set by the battery chip, not by the charger. What the charger label says is the max output current, not necessarily the actual rate.

Just check the current it outputs. If it gives you at least 500 mA (same as a USB 2.0 port), it will charge your phone. If it gives only 100 mA, it will only charge the phone when it's off.
It is 500 mA and the Z1 original charger is 1500 mA.
Does this means that it will charge a lot slower?
Yep, less ma will charge it slowly.

Hello,
I lost the charger that came with my LG G2, and the genuine one costs quite a lot in my country,
So I wonder if there is anything I can buy on eBay that is safe and charges just as quickly?
(I need EU plug btw)
Thanks
i have both stock and this one
https://www.alzashop.com/connect-it-ci-463-dual-charger-black-d2262673.htm?o=1
using original lg usb cable it charges the same as the original LG charger... and it has 2 ports for charging, which is only a bonus...
it's cheap, build quality is ok and it works well for me (i also use it to charge my tablet)
if you're in European Union - shipping is fast (it took 3-5 days for it to arrive from Cz to Croatia)
i also recommend this shop for other tech stuff, i already bought some hardware for my PC from that shop, and the quality of service (especially shipping) is great...
Try Ikea usb charger - nice choice for universal home charger
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10291881/
It give 2.4mah for one usb port (for my device max ~1850mah)
Thank you!
By the way, if the stock charger was 1.8 amp (if I remember right), and I get a higher amp charger (2 amp for example), does the LG G2 know to lower the amp or, higher amp than what was intented might hurt the battery?

the one i recommended above (3.1 amp) automatically adjusts to connected device(s)...
or if you use a custom kernel like dorimanx' - you can manually adjust the current input (from 500mA to 2000mA) - i have it set on 1600mA and have no problem whatsoever...
Thanks, I have another question:
Will a quick charge 2.0 charger damage the LG G2 battery? Or it can work with it
Just an FYI, I bought a refurbished G2 recently and it came with a 5 volt 2 amp(2000mah) charger. I think you can get any generic charger that has those specs.
I tried a lower power one and as expected, it attempted to power up and shut off.

Did some further testing. With the phone powered off, the phone draws about 1700 mah or 1.7. So a 1.8 mah charger would be about the max of its capabilities. It also charges the phone in 2 hours.
With the phone turned on, I guess it charges at a slower rate.

Just look for a brand name with 1.5A - 2.0A current output. I'm using different chargers and they all produce similar results - Sony 1.5A charger from SRS X3 Bluetooth speaker; Samsung 2.0A charger from Galaxy Tab 4; the LG 1.8A one that came with the phone; etc. Charging time is about 2h on idle / screen off, as mentioned above.
