I am NOT responsible for destroyed devices, damaged batteries or Arctic Ozone Hole.

Please do some research if you have any concerns about using fast charging.

I managed to get my Nexus 5 charging at 1850mAh on Quick Charge 3.0 charger!

In theory, Nexus 5 can support Quick Charge 2.0, because it uses the Snapdragon 800 chipset,

but it uses a Texas Instruments BQ24192 chip for battery charging and power path management,

which does not work with Qualcomm Quick Charge. According to AnandTech ( Google Nexus 5 Reviewhttp://www.anandtech.com/show/7517/g...exus-5-review/3 ),

the Nexus 5 should automatically restrict charging rates to a maximum of 1500mA.

Quick Charge - fast charging technology

Qualcomm Quick Charge 1.0 is able to charge up to 40% faster than conventional charging (Max Power 10W)

Quick Charge 2.0, increasing the charge time advantage up to 75% (Max Power 18W)

Quick Charge 3.0 is designed to charge twice as fast as Quick Charge 1.0 and to be 38 percent more efficient than Quick Charge 2.0 (Max Power 18W)

Conclusion

The Nexus 5 was released more than 2 years ago (October 2013) and we can use it for everything!

We can overclock it, shot 4K videos, play H265 movies, create VR headset for PC gaming, run Window 7 or boot Windows 10.

Now you can fast-charge the battery. The Nexus 5 is a Quick Charge 1.0 device, but provides the same charging speed

as the Samsung Galaxy S6 that supports Adaptive fast charging or Quick Charge 2.0.

The Nexus 5 is a simply unblieveable phone! :D
