So I just bought a car usb charger, which is rated at 1.2A on one port and 2.1A on "Fast charge" port. I think the 1.2A should be safe atleast, but whatabout the 2.1A one?
http://www.tomtom.com/en_gb/product...-cables/high-speed-multi-charger-9UUC.001.04/
As it says, it's for fast charging. If voltage is correct, there is no problem. Maybe a warm battery during charge time.
so this combo is working for me:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W98IQ5M?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00
the latter also allowed me to fastboot oem unlock.
so battery is at 59%, homescreen says 14 minutes till full.
cheers
can you please check with Ampere or GSAM for the charging speeds that you achieve?
does the device say fast/rapid charging?
Interested to hear the results from Ampere or GSAM as well
i cant get a good handle on how ampere works. it keeps measuring, takes forever, and fluctuates a lot.
with the aukey combo, i got 1830/2050mA @ 4.14v, at 53%, 37.7c
took it off charge for a while and tried again with the stock charger:
with the stock charger, i got 1850/1860mA(min/max) @ 4.159Vat 61%, 30.7c
I will try again at 50% today if I have time but I am pretty pleased with my little aukey combo. It was cheap.. I got it when there was a 7 dollar coupon floating around.
FYI, believe this is the same charger : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QEX83LA/

Yep that would be the one. charging at 1800mA is not the fastest that the phone can charge at though. I'm going to hold off for the ones that enable the full speed of charging

For 7 bux I think it's still a good deal for someone who doesnt have a spare to use
From the product description, you are only going to get 2A out of the charger. 5X doesn't do QC2.0, so you will only get the output at 5V, which for this charger is 2 amps.
Specifications:
Input: AC 100-240V
Output: 5V/2A, 9V/2A, 12V/1.5A
Dimensions2.69*2.05*0.87in)(68.5*52*22mm)

But some Aukey chargers with AIPowertech like this one "charges all non-Quick ChargeTM 2.0 phones and tablets at their normal speed (up to 5 volts / 2.4A Max)with AIPower Tech Technology."
I've got the charger, just not the cables... so haven't been able to test.
I tested Aukey PA-T2 wall charger QC2.0 port ( orange one) on a Sony Xperia Z3 compact tablet
I recorded charging current up to 2.7Amp with the Aukey USB cable and up to 3.0 Amp with the Sony USB cable !!!! far more than the 2.0 Amp level current Aukey specifies......
The voltage - current output test show that the voltage stay in the 9.0V range with current up to 2.4Amp then fall down very quickly. It seems that the voltage stay at a value enough to deliver up to 3.0 Amp charging current to the tablet ....
Detailed test are here (http://78michel.unblog.fr/?p=860 in french....)
Current values where obtained from BMW recordings
Using the
Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 18W USB Turbo Wall Charger
And
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01706YAXY
Getting Charging Rapidly. The juice isn't nearly as good as the stock charger, but this is the first combo with a USB-A to USB-C cable that I've gotten the Charging Rapidly notification.

LOL, thanks... but that doesn't really help this 5X cause. Given that there is no quick charge on the 5X, it'll remain at 5V. The question is whether it'll pull more than the 2A or 2.4A specified on these chargers at 5V on a 5X.

Aukey quick charge 2.0 behave like a standard charger when connected to a non QC2.0 compatible device. The output voltage will stay to 5V so the current level will be very sensitive to the quality of the USB cable and limited by the maximum current the device will afford.
In practice it is very difficult to reach 2A charging level ( even if the charger is able to deliver such current) with a voltage output of only 5V , due to losses in cables and connectors
From my experience the higher current charging level I obtained was with a Samsung wall charger refence EP-TA10EWE which deliver an output voltage of up to 5.5V at 1.9A ( nominal voltage is claimed at 5.3V)
I got 1.7Amp charging current on my Nexus 5 while with the Aukey QC2.0 the current was only 1.1 Amp in exactly same conditions ( these recorded data are also reported in my blog .....in French.....)

Thanks, didn't think to look at the link.
I wonder how older phones like the NA Galaxy S3 and Nexus 4 that both have QC1.0 ([email protected]) compare to the charging of the Nexus 5.
I'm curious as to how you did your testing, as I'm going to try my own testing once my cables come in. Did you drain all your phone's battery to 0 before performing each test? Phone airplane mode vs off? I also think that all tests must be done in relation to time, especially since the charging profile changes as the phone charges. I'm also curious as to how the non QC port on the Aukey performs, since it's spec'd at 2.4A @ 5V.

All tests are made with battery drained to zero before starting , and a complete charge is done in each conditions. That way I can check that the full charging time is logically related to the recorded current values. The current is recorded during the complete cycle at a frequency of one value per mn.
The air plane mode was off.
Aukey QC port and non QC port are slighly differents when connected to non QC2.0 devices :
QC port delivers 5.1V in open circuit, the voltage encrease to 5.2V at 2.2Amp, on the contrary the non QC port delivers 5.2V in open circuit and decrease to 5.1V at 2.2Amp. I did not test them at higher current level.
I did not tested Galxy S3 or Nexus4 , but I beleive that a charger like the Samsung EP-TA10EWE will deliver them the maximum charging current they are programmed to accept, as obeserved for the Nexus 5.
I got the same charging current curve I recorded with Nexus 5 and Samsung EP-TA10EWE, with other set of charger and cable. This means that this charging curve is defined by the Nexus 5 inner program , not the charger characteristics. The problem is that we never know which is the max current curve internally programmed for each smartphone...... so it could be a long way to find it.......
As most of you probably know, the nexus 5x charger is 5v 3a.
I saw a power bank that support charging of 9v 2.4a.
my question is, will my nexus 5x use the 9v of the power bank to charge at the maximum speed it can, or will it only use 5v and it will be slower than the stock charger of the phone?
Thanks.

USB specs are only for 5V, and that is what our phones use. If you use a higher voltage, it will fry your phone. However, some chargers use a scaling voltage to supply more power if the device supports it. For example, I just got an Acer R13 Chromebook that charges thru the USB-C port. The Power supply is rated for 45 Watts, but there's no way in hell it can run that at 5V without frying the cables. That would be 5V @ 9A! Instead, it caps out at 3A, and will scale the voltage up as needed. It goes from 5V&3A to 9V&3A to 15V&3A to 20V&2.25A. Because it starts at 5V and won't go any higher unless requested, I can use it to charge my 5x @ 5V&3A.
If your power bank starts at 5V and then ramps up to 9V if requested, it should be fine to use with the 5x, but you're limited to the 2.4A. If it starts at 9V, then you're going to fry your phone. Can you link to the charger so we can verify?
its a QC 3 certified charger and A2 supports QC 4+ right?
so wether it takes 9v 2a (18w) or 9v 3a (27w) to charge
https://store.mi.com/in/item/3192900008
and also want to know is it safe to use moto's turbo charger because its output is max 15w

In general terms, V×A = W. Now, voltage is pushed and current is pulled. So it doesn't matter what the Amp is, what matters is that the Voltage should not exceed the max specs. That is why Oppo's VOOC chargers are best suited. They keep volt at 5V while increasing the ampere to 3/4 Amp to increase Watt without damaging the phone.

Qualcomm's quick charge technology is backward compatible. So a QC4+ supporting device will happily work with a QC 3 charger.
Also, QC 4+ technology is design to withstand upto 20v and upto 4.6Amps (not at the same time) and at the same time QC 4 and 4+ are no different the specifications there are same there is only some internal changes.
QC 4 achieves 27w not via the QC technology but it uses USB-PD which is a universal technology released on 2012 and unlike QC it's not proprietary Qualcomm's tech. USB-PD for our device works in the range of 3-11V and 0-3A.
Also, charging current and voltage is controlled by the device, not the charger. You can safely charge your phone using a MacBook charger which can provide upto 60w of power and it won't harm your phone.
#tldr : yes it's totally safe to use any charger with your phone. Unless it's not a cheap one which doesn't comply to basic quality standards you are good to go.
Hello
Can i use the samaung 9v 1.5A for my xiaomi mi a2 because phone came with 5V 2A , can this samsung original charger damage my phone ?
So I was trying to charge as fast as possible and multiple qc2 and 3 chargers were only slow charging. I assume this is due to the unisoc vs Qualcomm chipset. I was able to determine that pd chargers will quick charge at nearly 15 W. But only Samsung chargers with afc and one anker, with iq2 I think, will charge at non pd high speed charging
Use a known good Samsung 25w brick/cable to simplify troubleshooting... it's hard enough to begin with.
If battery start charge temp is <65F or >100F or has greater than a 75% charge on it, fast charging may be disabled. Display must be off.
Edit <oops>
I have an Rd tc-66 so I can see exactly what volt/amp/watt is being supplied. I used an anker, aukey, and several other chargers. Only the Samsung fast charger, the anker and any pd charger I tried were able to fast charge. I used 1 USB a to c cable for all chargers, so it worked on 2 qc chargers and not on 4 qc2 and qc3 chargers. For pd chargers, it was the same c to c cable, and all pd chargers provided 8-9v and 1.4-1.7a.
My quess, again, is that the unisoc chipset doesn't favor Qualcomm quick charge, so it's limited to Samsung afc and pd for high speed charging.
