Hi all,

ok can someone give me an ebay link to a proper 1.8a 2.0a or 2.1a charger that has shipping to EU and EU plug?

I have read through all the posts and none of the links either work or have cheap/free shipping (all have like 20 bucks shipping), plus everyhing has US plug...

i tried to order some cheap 2.0a from ebay and got screwed as in the end they were charging with 0.5a and i would really like to find a cheap charger below 5 bucks that really charges 1.8a or more....

i would give links to some that i saw on ebay and i dont know if they are fake, but im too new to this site to post url.

Look for seller Devicefun. The shipping is 1.69 pounds.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] KuduIO:
I ordered two Folding Blade chargers from theWireless Company on Amazon.ca, paid $8 total. Very fast shipping, very fast chargers! However, the charger isn't quite as fast as my OEM OnePlus One charger.

I also bought the Anker PowerIQ 24W charger mentioned earlier in this thread, and it's not as quick as the stock charger. Still a decent charger though.

I can't get CurrentWidget to work on my OPO, unfortunately. Battery Monitor Widget returns a number but it doesn't seem to be correct.

Does anyone know if this charger fits when using the Spigen Slim Armor case?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] FrenchSparda:
was really dissapointed by stock charger...charging was so slow...but i used my Galaxy s5 charger with my Galaxy S2 usb cable....charging is very quick now :D

but many thanks for your find :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Dougshell:
Yes it does
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cdonald:
Thank you. Along a similar line, does anyone know if it fits well with the Spigen Neo-Hybrid case? I have the charger and love it, so I just want to make sure whatever case I get can fit it!

Another satisfied customer!

I bought 6 of these off Ebay, 2 for less than $5... I have to say this thread is dead on! These charge all of my devices (Nexus 5, Galaxy S3, Hisense Sero 7 Pro, Jawbone Speaker, Generic Chinese knock-off tablet, Nexus 7 and about anything else I've thrown at it) about %1/minute, they don't get hot (just a slight warm), and they work perfectly with my Qi chargers (work, beside the bed, at my computer desk). HUGE thanks to the op for sharing these with us!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lexusisf:
Can you provide us with the link? I'm interested.

Also, how long did shipping take?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] melkorbcn:
I only found it for 10$ without shipment. If anyone buys it in europe/spain cheaper,please post it
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sneakily1:
I just used the link in the OP... but apparently the guy isn't selling them anymore. Just do a search on ebay for "BlackBerry 5V 1.8A wall charger" I see them for about $5 each right now through various sources (slightly cheaper in bulk, sort lowest + shipping first and do the math). I guess I got lucky with mine, just bought them a month or so ago. Sorry.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] dirtyid:
I'm not sure if cable quality has dramatic affects on charging speed, but I've always experienced terrible charging speeds when I replaced stock cable with longer 1.5m generic cables. The cable on the Blade charger is NON REMOVABLE and around 1.5m long and indeed chargers significantly faster than previous stock charger + cheap cable setups. The plug assembly is also pretty durable, which is good in light of the cable being non replaceable, normally I wear through cable plugs every few months but it's been solid so far. I'm not sure it's superior over stock charger/stock cable, but if you're just looking for a longer cable that doesn't compromise charging, it's probably a safer bet to get this instead of just separate cable.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nleitao:
lol yeah, airplane mode is the same as leave it turned of... why should i have a phone if i have to turn it off to charge it?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DosNexus:
lol yeah, why would you comment without understanding how testing works?

If you read any of Bacon's other threads you'll see why he puts the phone in airplane mode. It's not to make it go faster, it's to make sure there's no other apps or anything that will interfere while running a charging test. He did the same thing in his budget Qi charger thread. It's for consistency and to show only the performance of the chargers.

Maybe you should look in to how any type of proper testing is done. You want to make sure you have control over everything. If you have a bunch of apps, push notifications, wifi/LTE/3G, downloads, whatever else running, you can't accurately test the performance of only the charger, or you'll get a ton of different results each time.

Guys, i have been reading about the batteries...

Basically you can charge LiOn batteries @ 0.7C. On my Nexus 5 I have a 2300 mA battery so the charge should not overcome 1600mA.

Do you guys know if the phone limits the charging current?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hsrn:
i got the alternative travel charger with the eu plug delivered today and really like it so far.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Znamir81:
I'm not sure but my guess is that the charger you have doesn't short the data pins. If you're willing to sacrifice data transfer on one of your usb cables that managed to get you 1.2A with your charger and use it for charging purposes only, then try this:

http://youtu.be/9LZt4pW97P8

You can perform it directly on a mini usb cable, just remember to short the data cables on the mini usb side.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fitz420:
Hey guys, I've been using these chargers for months and have loved them. I just flashed the preview build of lollipop and have noticed that these chargers show up as USB charging under battery settings and charge painfully slow. I've never had an issue with them before on kitkat. Can anyone who has these chargers and newest preview build test it for me

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 AM ----------

Actually to respond to my own comment, only one of them is showing as USB....my other two are fine and showing as AC. I guess maybe one is going bad.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Dudebowski:
Having some really strange power issues, I probably b0rked either the battery or the micro usb port, battery charges slowly/not at all on neither official stock charger nor a crackberry 1.8A wall charger. If it's in recovery/fastbootloader it does charge, and usually within the ~1.5 hours as in OP.

Anyone have electronics knowhow to say if that kind of charger would kill the battery?

I acquired it on the suggestion from a post in the general thread, and it did indeed charge the battery VERY quickly... until now.

Also, can someone check and see if their n5 automatically boots when it's powered off, and put on the charger?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sublimnl:

Am i the only one with battery problems? I bought the charger Playbook and often the nexus 5 displays incorrect values of the battery left ... now I just pointed out the 1%, I put him in charge, I installed the TWRP 2.8.1.0 and at reboot was 58% ... :confused:

Hello

i bougth this charger on ebay - BlackBerry PlayBook International Travel Fast Charger with UK/EU/NA Adapters

i would like to know if this is bad for battery because is charging much faster (than the stock charger - 1.2A)? does constantly using this fast blackberry 1,8A charger lower battery life?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kicsrules:
yeah, i want to know also if these chargers will affect battery life
[Nexus 5 Accessories] galapagos:
No effect on the battery life. Even LG sells 1.8a charger for nexus 5 in Korea.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] SYRE123:
From what I have heard the faster the charger is, the more damage it does to the battery. With that being said, I don't really think any of these chargers damages the battery, but I think it's a good idea to use a slower charger over night when you don't need your phone to charge quickly. Someone with a better understanding of modern batteries are more than welcome to explain if this is total bs or real :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] LiamAtkins90:
Well to be fair every battery in smartphones die eventually...

As do we lol

But a normal li-ion battery can take up to 100,000 charge cycles

Meaning if you charge your device 4 times a day

You'll be good for 60 years!!

Hell the software will fail before the batteries do. LOL!!

Put that mother****** in a time capsule haha!!

[Nexus 5 Accessories] :
OP if you still having the same charger, can you post some images of N5 with "safe mode" is on, as you posted in your post. Safe mode will give some better results.

And as I know, the original charger which comes with N5 is giving 1.2A output. I think that upto 2.1A can be good for charging. But the Oppo Find 7a charger gives 4.5A output and charges 2800 mAh battery around 82 minutes.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Raistlin1:
I have had the BB playbook charger for a while (I think its the same as this folding blade one), even before I got the N5 because of its faster charging. They are so cheap now because nobody buys them and the quality is really good. Also, it has a fairly long cable so that is useful if you need a longer run.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dijonemon:
Just received mine yesterday. The LG supplied one with my N5 was taking AGES to charge. This thing charges my phone in less than half the time. So, so glad I saw this thread!

I've been using the Samsung Galaxy S5 charger for all my devices ever since I charged my Nexus 5 using my girlfriend's charger.

That's a 2.0A charger but damn it charges quickly. It goes for about 1.5-2% per minute depending on usage.

Whit lollipop and the Playbook charger the maximum mA dropped from 1600 to 1000, someone else?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dj_aj:
I've noticed that with the latest Android 5.0 update, the nexus 5 won't charge from pretty much all the spare chargers I had lying around. It'll only charge with the one supplied from LG/Google.

I tried charging with Apple's 2.1A charger and it was only drawing approximately 300-500 mA maximum. Wonder what the deal is here.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Edo 91:
I correct, with Lollipop the playbook charger 2A charges at 1600mA intensity for the first 30% ( I think it's normal ) and then falls to 1000mA up to 90% and then settles down to 300mA in the last 10% , is this normal?

With Kitkat the drop occurred much later ... am i the only one?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
You will only get USB charging speeds using Apple chargers and/or cables, that is the expected behavior and would be like that on Android 4 as well.

Again the rate changed around 80%, 85%.

I think it is related with the tension the battery reaches. When it reaches that tension the phone limits the charging rate.

The ones I got have really good looking and to be honest, they have a better look than any of the one's I have at home from Galaxy Note 1, Galaxy S2 or Galaxy S3. My Nexus 5 came without charger.

Why do you say "afraid to getting the fake"? If the fake arrives home just charge it back to the seller...

That's exactly 1% per min. And I'm not in airplane mode.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rocketrazr99:
I already addressed the undercharging idea but ty. I am presently using my tablet cable which is rated at 2A and have it plugged directly into my inverter, not the aux output cig lighter jack of the car. So I am getting whatever the cable is allowing through to my phone. I read about how the cables don't always match the Ampres (or is the correct word Amperage?) of the charger's integrated inverter ( or as with a car charger it is only an adapter), but in this case I excluded this component since my inverter has a USB outlet built-in. Hmmmm, gonna check the outlet's rated Ampres. Will edit this post when I know.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Znamir81:
Probably then the inverter USB outlet allows regular USB port 500mA, which is not enough to properly charge your phone.

I got my charger+cable combo from a reputable smartphone service with a proper website. All the other stuff I ordered from them until now was genuine. I think the cable supports 2 amps only on Samsung devices (the connector has 2 shorted out pins for detection or something like that). Unfortunately, ecomoto cables are not available in my country and shipping on ebay kills the deal.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bradputt:
http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=290929817725

I bought from this buyer, I live in asia so shipping price is a big problem for me, especially from monoprice.

This is the only one with reasonable shopping rate, I'm using a usb ammeter instead of current widget to measure. Current output is 1.1 to 1.2 amp. I also have current widget installed but I find it highly inaccurate.

What I'm impressed most is the cable is 2m long and could transfer this kind of amperage.

I would love to try the ecomoto or monoprice cable and BlackBerry charger if the shipping is cheaper.

I have a Blackberry Playbook that I now use as an alarm clock, and I've been using that charger for my N5, as I lost the oem charger for it. I can verify that this charger juices up the N5 very fast. I guess my only concern with using it, was I wasn't sure if it would somehow damage my N5 battery in the longhaul, as the charger was paired with a tablet. Glad to see somebody else using this little gem.

I also have an eco moto cable from an old Droid X that bacon mentioned in an earlier post. That thing also charges my phone very quick. I might have to boot up my old Droid X for memories sake, and play around with the liquidsmooth rom on it.
