Best Charger For N7 (or any USB device) - Nexus 7 Accessories

I've been hunting for an extra, high quality, 2A USB charger for my devices - but I didn't want to pay $25-$30 to get a Samsung or Asus 2A USB charger. And then I came across this blog entry by Ken Shirriff where he went and reviewed 12 different USB chargers including genuine and fake apple chargers + other brands.

Really good and informative post. Definitely recommend a read. For the Cole's notes version, apple makes great USB chargers ... but not the best. The best USB charger in this review actually turned out to be the USB charger that came with the ill-fated HP TouchPad. This charger has very low noise and voltage drop characteristics.
What's more, you can actually get these great HP chargers for $15 on eBay. Or via Kijiji for $15 if you're in the Toronto area.
Mine is off Kijiji and here are logged screenshots of my N7 charging from 12% to 100% with both the Asus charger that came with it and the HP Charger. The HP charger managed to take 20 minutes off my N7's charge time! :good:

I bought the HP touchpad charger for my old Xoom FE. It was a great USB charger, and came with a bunch of heads for global use. Actually seemed to do the 2A charging thing too!

I just ordered my Nexus 7 today and you saved me a bit of searching for a reasonably priced charger. Thanks!

USB Wall Plug

Thinkgeek recently reviewed a replacement wall plug that can supply up to 2.1 amps over a USB port.
Seems like a perfect fit for where you charge your nook color!

In a similar vein, ThinkGeek also has this, which lets you draw USB power from an outlet that has something else plugged into it. Up to 1 amp.

I'm wary of the 1 amp output, though that looks useful for when you're on the go or travelling.
The 2.1 amp permenant household solution means I can create a charging dock in my office with very little fuss.

I got one of these for my birthday this January. Really works but I still think the NC charges faster directly from their dedicated wall plug.
Yes, I'm not sure why but some people get 2 amp usb chargers that charge their nook at the same time as the stock charger.
However, my experience has been not the case.
The cable itself is known to be important, but the charger also has something about it that's unique or made differently to allow full 2 amp charging.
There are usb inter-connects that people sell that allow charging from lower amp chargers, I'm wondering if this bypasses whatever check that keeps the nook from charging at 2amps on a nonstock charger.

(Review) Multiple Tronsmart Wall Chargers w/ QC 2.0 and QC 3.0

A while back when I got the LG v10, Tronsmart reached out to me and asked if I’d review one of their wall chargers in exchange for an honest amazon review, I agreed, and the charger impressed me so much I bought some others, and now I have the 2 port QC 2.0, the one port QC 2.0, the one port QC 3.0, and the Titan 5 port QC 2.0.
I saw they posted a charging analysis on their site for the s7 and based on my tests, it’s pretty spot on, though I am not going to sit and watch my phone charge for an hour and a half.) One thing I can also say is that they power my aftermarket wireless charges as well, which the factory Samsung one does not.
Just figured I offer op some affordable suggestions for wall chargers even though the hype is on wireless w/ the s7. When I come home from work and need a quick boost before going out for the night, wireless isn’t fast enough.
I have the titan on my night stand and it powers my yootech wireless charger, my tablet, my bluetooth headphones, and my moto 360 sport charger,still leaving me one for toping off the s7 in a hurry. It's a beast.
Here is the Tronsmart analysis, and the pictures below will represent mine.

[review] Choetech 33W USB C and Quick Charge 3.0 car charger

Full disclosure, Choetech provided this charger to me at a discount for a fair and honest review. I have used many other of their products, both received at a discount and purchased at full price, and this charger is just as high quality as I've come to expect from them. It delivers fast charging as advertised, allowing for a max of 5V/3A on the USB C port and 5V/2.4A, 9V/2A, 12V/1.5A on the USB A port for QuickCharge 3.0 devices, or a max of 5V/2.4A for non QC 3.0 ones. The nice thing is that it can provide full charging on both ports simultaneously, something other chargers don't offer. I have several other USB C car chargers, both with a captive cable and without, and two things really stand out about this one. First is the size: this is the smallest USB C charger I own that can provide full charging speeds over both ports. The "little red" USB C charger is smaller, and delivers full speeds, but not over both ports. I also like that this doesn't have a captive cable, as do some of my others. This lets me use a 0.5m USB C cable, which is perfect for my setup. The second thing that sets this apart is the price, and unfortunately not in the right way. It is anywhere from a few bucks more to almost double the price of my other chargers, and I have a hard time justifying that price without an included USB C cable. To be fair not all others include a cable either, but with the premium price I would hope to see a cable here. The price does not take away from the quality of the item- this charger will be finding a permanent spot in my car- but I have a hard time fully recommending it at $22 when you can buy a good charger for $15.

I'm sure You will find it on Your favorite online shop like e-buy, I have mine from aliexpress
It's best of all I tried, phone reports quick charge, magnets helps to place phone on charger. When phone runs google maps in car and with full brightness it charges very slowly but it's because of intensive usage.
I have about five of them, using not only in car. The only disadvantage is microusb port in charger, usb-c would be perfect.
I tested baseus, ikea and few other qi chargers. Cheap no name gets hot on charge or phone charges very slow on them. On few it's very hard to place phone :/
I'm using the original black xiaomi wireless charger no hiccups or any problems I recommend.

Which wall charger for the new Airvooc?

Hi,
I will receive soon an aivooc (free because i preordered the phone).
I would like to use it at work, and keep the supervooc wall charger (that was with the phone) at home.
Will the airvooc come with a wall charger in the box?
If not, what to buy, so that the airvooc works well?
In the Box contents: OPPO Find X5 Pro
Phone x 1
Charger x 1
USB Data Cable x 1
SIM Ejector Tool x 1
Safety Guide x 1
Quick Start Guide x 1
Protective Case x 1
USB Dongle (Type-A to Type-C) x 1
Exclusive Service Card x 1
You might be able to find one at the official OPPO Store.
Hi,
I know what's in the smartphone's box.
I wanted to know what's in the Airvooc's box.
And if there's no charger inside, can i buy a cheeper charger, which make the arirvooc work well?
Hi @misteurz I think you need to use the Supervooc charger with the AirVooc.
Are you in the UK? I found good prices on ebay for the 65W airVooc charger for only £10 and the cable off amazon for another £5. I will be using that 65W one with my airvooc when it comes.
No, it does not come with a brick according to this article.
OPPO 45W AirVOOC wireless charging -- is it worth the $99 outlay?
Wireless charging was all the rage when it was introduced all those years ago. We all rushed to purchase any Qi charger we could get our hands on.
eftm.com
I've asked to oppo : they told me there is a brick charger with the Airvooc. We'll see ...
