Because if that charger is the ASY-18078-001, it's rated at 700mA. Ask the seller to be sure the model of the charger.

Any good alternatives in the UK?

Those 2-prong plugs will not fit in our 3-prong sockets.

I found an european version on ebay here:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Blackberr...-/400808551162?ssPageName=ADME:X:eRTM:GB:1123

Please note that despite the seller listed it as international it came with only EU and UK plugs adaptor.

It works very well and it is rated as 2A.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] iKlutz:
Thank you that looks good. Even though it says output 2A, does it actually reach speeds above 1.5A? My current Samsung charger is 1.5A and barely reaches 1.2A. Thanks again and I'm going to buy that and if I get the time I will report with some stats :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] praseodimio:
Here it is some testing I did. You can see it reached 1520mA, I don't know if this rate was limited by the phone of or the charger but for me it sounds ok and better than the stock charger.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] akaleshnikov:
What app is that?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nleitao:
Battery Monitor Widget i guess...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dealova2008:
Which Samsung you talking about ? I never hear Samsung has 1.5A charger before.

Galaxy S4 mini. Edit: apologies I had a brain fart, it's just 1.0a. Disappointed in myself :\
[Nexus 5 Accessories] MojoCP:
Honestly, while these numbers are nice, this charger is by no means the fastest charger available.

The rapid charger that came stock with the LG G2, for whatever reason (it's not supposed to work), seems to do real rapid charging on the Nexus 5.

Granted, its not quite as quick as on the G2, but definitely 15 to 100% in less than one hour.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DosNexus:
You know LG G2 charger is the same 1.8A as the blackberry right? So no "real rapid charging", it is the same speed. And the blackberry costs a lot less. I would say it is best/fastest/cheapest.

An Update to my last post:

I ordered this item:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/141489048389?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Model No. was ACC-48181-301

However, strangely I got this item:

http://www.amazon.com/ACC-48181-001-Blackberry-Premium--Vehicle-MicroUSB/dp/B0089QK4NK/

Model No. ACC-48181-001

I am not sure if there is a difference as initially I thought the output would be lower on the 001 model but it is the same 1.8A.

To confirm, I am getting a charge of ~1.2A with my plug in percent at 79%. I will confirm how much Amps I get when I try to charge it at a lower starting battery percent because at this percent, the suggested wall charger as in the OP which usually yield 1.8A at a low starting battery percent currently charges my device at this 79% starting rate at ~1.4A.

How many times can you charge it before charge the power bank?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bennyp123:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] ej8989:
About 5-6 times, 10%-100%.

Less than $20. Pyxis T10 (I think it's only sold locally in my country).

It's a rebrand of Xiaomi's 10400mAh powerbank.

Might as well go for xiaomi's 10400mAh powerbank I guarantee it's a good one. Just make sure you're buying an authentic product.

I was also looking for a wall charger will longer wire and bought it from ebay India for around $9. Was worried whether it will be a genuine one or not but it turned out to be a genuine piece.

It is charging my phone at approximately 1.4 to 1.5 A.

Update - I was testing the charger since last 2 days. To charge from 6% to 93-94% it's taking only 1 hour. This is simply amazing. I left the phone unattended except for a 2 mins call in between.

Hi guys, I bought the S6's Adaptive fast charger, knowing that it would charge it faster. My first charge went great, 25% to 100% in around 35 minutes. However since then it has slowed down to a crawl. Battery stats say that it's charging over USB which it isn't, I've tried different sockets, different cables but to no avail.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] JamrD:
Nice review.

I love Qi charging but my problem with it, is that 60% or more of the time it does not work at all. I have tried it with several of the chargers shown here and with 500ma and 1000ma receivers and I get it to only work about 60% of the time.

On top of that, it will only work if the phones screen is off when setting down on the charger. I can never get it to charge if the screen is on and set it on the charger.

Does anyone else have this issue or have I just bought crap chargers?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] FutureFruit:
Bought this charger from amazon. Love the long cable, so I can still use it while plugged in. One tiny little problem though... It makes my phone have ghost touches. Like...to the point where I can't use it while plugged in. I threw away my old generic charger because of this. In fact I'm worried about using it at all because my last one started messing with my phone without me even touching it. Like it would change my alarm, open apps, etc.

So this just totally wasted my money. Yes I checked the model number and everything, it looks right. And before you ask, my phone only does this with this charger and the previous one. It doesn't do it on the wireless charger and it doesn't do it while not charging.

So I don't know if there is a way to be absolutely certain that it's a name brand charger, besides the appearance and the label. Or maybe it's my phone. It NEVER has ghosting issues outside of charging. But I have heard of this issue on the Nexus 5, during charging and otherwise. Any input would be welcome.

1.8A chargers are becoming more and more common. I'm guessing this charger isn't anything special, well compared with the 1.8A chargers that came with my Nexus 7s, and my LG Qi chargers.

And about Post #1 ... if you put your phone in airplane mode, well DUH of course it will charger faster, all the radios are off, so apps aren't updating. O_o

[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
First off, I am so very very sorry for your misfortune! :p

But anyway, to ease your concern as long as the charger is 5V then don't worry. The phone will draw as much current as it wants/is capable of. If you had a 10A charger, the phone will only take in the max the hardware was designed/programmed to accept.

Keep in mind a charger doesn't "push" current, your device "pulls" it. Think of the charger as a drink with a straw in it, and the phone as you wanting a drink. The amount/rate you are going to drink, entirely depends on how strong you can suck on a straw. Haha

The damage is done when you use chargers with a different voltage. As long as the charger you are using is the same voltage as your phone, go nuts with the amps.

Yeah I saw that a while ago, but I'm hesitant to add it to the OP as I can't guarantee if it's genuine or not... (there are also 2 competing amazon sellers within $0.01 of each other) It is basically the cheapest you can find in Canada (nowhere near the 3 for $6 in the US....) though if you are buying single chargers, so I'd like to.

If someone takes the plunge or can verify it for me, I'll add it for sure. But for the moment I can only guarantee the seller that I used, so I don't want to screw people over if it ends up being a fake.

[MENTION=3746653]mmmmBACON[/MENTION]- So my mind is partially blown at the moment and here's why-

Stock Nexus 5 charger with Nexus 5-1.2A

Stock Nexus 5 charger with Nexus 7- 1.2A

Monoprice 4.2A quad USB charger (using Android/ "all other" side) with stock cable on Nexus 7- 1.8A (been a while since I tested it, so maybe that was 2A+???, cant remember but still at least 1.8A)

Above Monoprice setup with Nexus 5- 1.2A

This led me to believe fastest charging rate on Nexus 5 is 1.2A. So if that isn't true, and assuming this wasn't a kernal setting change (i.e. fast charge), how is it charging from a Blackberry charger than the stock design and why isn't my Monoprice charger doing the same when it is clearly capable? PS how do you live life on what looks like an un-rooted stock rom?

*Edit- I'd like to add that I did see the 1.8A charger from Google, but figured that it would only charge at that speed for the N7.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] crazyguns:
I have a Galaxy s4 2.0A charger that I use with my nexus, it does the job similar to OP's times, but one thing to note is the temperature runs between 33 and 35 degrees when idle, if using it while charging it goes up to 38 even 40.

Li-Po batteries last longer when kept cooler. If you keep heating them up every day, they will burn out quicker. Sure you're getting a few minutes quicker charge, but ensure you have an eye on the temperatures, it should ideally be below 34... The stock charger does it at about 32 to maintain optimal long life for the battery. And I'm assuming many of you are first month buyers like me who got the phone in November so the battery may be slightly showing it's age now, losing about 5% of it's original capacity. The only thing to do is keep it cool while it's charging and not use it, to ensure it'll last another 6 months when you can RMA and get a new battery ;)

But 2 chargers for 5$ this is still a proper steal so get it guys :)

EDIT: UK folk, I found a similar product for 2.90 plus a pound shipping on amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/BlackBerry-Portable-PlayBook-International-Charger/dp/B004XKG7NM/

Has about 29 reviews saying it works awesomely, so might look into it ;)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dweekie:
The main problem with amazon marketplace is that there can be multiple sellers, so the reviews are not reliable for the listed item. This is where eBay beats amazon marketplace.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Hahaha, yeah I am 100% untouched stock! I used to dabble quite a bit with roms when I was on my old Atrix 4G. That was really because that phone was a steaming pile unless you did something about it... Motorola sure as hell wasn't going to make things any better for me...

With the Nexus 5 though, I quite enjoy the simplicity of it and how it all just works. It may not be perfect, but it's smooth, fast, and I'm happy enough with everything stock that I don't feel the need to play around with it. And really, the older I get, the less time and patience I have to put into tinkering. I don't want to deal anymore with any potential issues that may arise, instabilities, a rom that breaks compatibility with something, or problem solving 1 thing that stopped working and you don't know why. Maybe I just got burned out with modding. With the Atrix I did it out of necessity, but on the Nexus 5, I don't feel I need to.

Anyway on to the chargers. I honestly don't have an answer for you as to why the Folding Blade chargers (and some others) can manage to go beyond the stock charge current on the Nexus 5 while others can't. For example, my Anker car charger states 2A for Android and when that is plugged in, I only get stock Nexus 5 current of around 1.1A. I have some other 2A AC Adapters that allow around 1.4A. I also have different 2A AC Adapters that will only give 1A. There is always the consideration that the chargers are not actually outputting the advertised current, but in your example, and in the case of the Anker, they are a large enough company with high quality products, so I assume they wouldn't lie about their output.

I am not running any 3rd party kernels, nor quick charge settings either. Who knows really, I can't complain though! It might really just come down to the quality of the charger and whether it conforms to standards correctly.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] GunninZombiesdown:
That's totally understandable. I guess I'm still in my "honeymoon" phase with this rooting concept because this is the first successful time I've gotten it to work (my Nexus 4 literally fried itself in the process-RMA'd).

Anyway, I'm really interested in getting to the bottom of this so if I figure out anything more, I'll let you know. Like I said before, I thought the device/battery set the max charge at 1.2A and that seemed really consistent with every charger I've used/tested.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Yeah, you never know, you might never get bored of modding.

It just came to mind, I believe the Nexus 5 uses it's own separate controller to regulate charging instead of the built in one on the SoC, which I'm pretty sure supports a higher current. I'm just tossing this out there and it most likely is completely off base, but maybe some of these chargers that are quick charging are somehow able to bypass Google's implementation and are being regulated by the one that's built into the SoC.

The LG G2 uses the same SoC as the Nexus 5 and it ships with a 1.8A AC Adapter as stock which is the same as the Blackberry Folding Blade.
