Maximum safe charging amps?

view story
linux-howto

http://forum.xda-developers.com – SO I am thinking of building my own charger for the Nexus 10 (for personal use only, not to sell). I am thinking of using a 5v PSU that puts out 6 amps (30 watts). I would be wiring the USB cable into the outputs of the PSU for connection to the tablet. Does anyone know if this would be safe to do for charging? I know the USB charger has a max amperage of 2A, and that is what the official spec says. But there are rumors of a pogo pin charger that will charge much faster, so higher *should* be safe enough to do for charging through USB right? (HowTos)

Stories similar to Maximum safe charging amps?

I have a Nexus 7 factory-included charger and I was wondering if I could safely charge my Nexus 4 with it. Reading from the specs printed on the chargers, the N7 charger outputs 2.0A at 5.0V, while the N4 charger outputs 1.2A at 5.0V. If it's safe, would it affect the N4's battery longevity in the long term? Considering it would be charged with a higher current.

Hi

While I'm driving I'm using Waze for navigation, and the device is also connected to my in car multimedia unit via BT as a phone. I'm connecting the device to the car charger, and getting the charging icons, so it is actually charging the device.

BUT... it seems that the charging is too slow. The percentages of the battery is going down, instead of going up.

So I came to egypt to visit family about a week ago. My charger is 110v n here they use 220v..

Nexus 4 Battery Amps 11 weeks 1 day ago

Hello everyone, I was wondering how far the nexus 4 can be pushed concerning charging... I noticed normal charger on AC mode goes 1.2A, if you use USB socket of your pc it only charges 0.5A. What is the maximum of A that the Nexus 4's battery can go? In other words if I took a 2.1A charger How much of that would it actually use? Thanks :D

So one day, I was left at my friend's house without my normal, Sidekick Charger. My friend had an HTC Sense charger and it seemed to fit my Sidekick, and without thinking twice, I used it for the night. My phone charged ti 100% and I unplugged it and used it throughout the next day.

[q] long battery charging 3 weeks 6 days ago

Hi

Is it normal that my xperia arc s takes over 4 to 5 hours to complete a full charge?

I mean, I`ve read here that some people said that they have a full charge in around 2 and a half hours.

Does the fact that my arc is international and im on America? Here the voltage is around 110-120 V Or is the charger itself?

I read a lot of people say if you use a 2.1 charger (seem to be made for ipad stuff) that Android phones don't recognize it as the correct amps and charge at a default .5 amp rate. I want a dual usb charger (either two 2.0 amps or one 2.0 and one 1.0) but all the main ones on amazon and the like have reviews about this saying only good for apple products and they are all dual 1.0 and 2.1 amps.

Hi guys,

So far I have used 3 chargers. A Verizon green 10ft long charger, the charger for my Nexus 7, and a Verizon car charger.

Basically when I plug any of these chargers in it will show it is charging for a split second, then it'll go away. So in order for it to charge, I have to push the charger in really hard, push it down, or bend it to the right.

Nexus 7 boots and shutdown 39 weeks 1 day ago

My Nexus is now unuseable. 2 nights ago I had it plugged in all night and it did not charge. Last night it charged. However, now it boots comes up to the homescreen and shutsdown. Other weird things have happened like seeing speckles on the screen. I can't get it to boot in safe mode because it shuts down before I can bring up the safe mode screen. After it ****s down I can't do anything with it.
