How to Detect a Fast and Slow Smartphone Power Charger

Most Smartphone users often desire to see their devices charge up faster after the battery must have run down and when plugged into a power outlet.

But sometimes the reverse is the case as some smartphones when plugged takes almost a whole day to charge from flat battery to full, and which often raise the question; why do some phones charge faster than others?

The reason(s) might not be farfetched as some of you already know, and the two major and most common reasons why some phone batteries take very long hours to charge up and others require only minimal time is based on the smartphone inbuilt charging technology and the phone’s power charger (charger head).

The both of them, if put into consideration by smartphone companies on the course of manufacturing their devices, will definitely result in devices that charge up very fast – let’s say 1h 30min to charge fully a fully drained modern smartphone batteries.

But most times, we don’t usually see nor have both pieces of technology come to play, and it is either you have only the phone charger with the fast charge technology while the devices itself is built with conventional charging technology and vice versa; and even on many occasions both the phone charger and the phone itself are built without any fast charging technology.

No doubt that today, phone manufacturers are beginning to embrace the fast charging technologies in an increased rate unlike before, and it is now easier to see smartphones with inbuilt quick charge technologies and quick charge chargers.

Having said all that and back to the major topic of discussion, today we are going to show you how you can easily detect fast and slow charging smartphone chargers.

Remember that we said that it is not only the phone charger that determines the fastness of charging your phone batteries, however with fast phone charger, the faster the charging than when you are charging with slow charger.

Without further ado, here we go; the idea behind the whole thing has not gotten into a rocket science technology as to start saying that it is only the science inclined students will understand how to read the power ratings for smartphone chargers.

It just a little visual practical physics that you will all understand and now to know a fast phone charger or a slow phone charger, this is what to do;

= =>just pick up your phone charger now and look at the output (not the input) power ratings.

And these are what you should expect to know whether your phone charger or other phone chargers are fast chargers or slow chargers;

On a general note and what you see as normal charger is when you look at the charger and you see the power output ratings as 5V ----1A or it can also be written as 5V----1000mA.

The interpretation of that is that the charger is giving out 5volts (voltage) of electricity with 1Amp (Ampere) Current of electricity; in the second case that you might see it written as 5V ----1000mA, it is just the same thing as the interpretation above, the 1000mA is the same as 1A, the small m just stands for milli (one 1000^th) which is 1/1000.

Now for a slow phone charger, since most smartphones output voltage is 5V, whenever you look at the phone charger power ratings and see anything lower than 1000mA on the current side, then you should automatically know that you are dealing with a slow charger; you might see it written like this 5V ----750mA – just know that this is a slow charger power rating – anything lower than 1000mA is slow charger.

Finally for the Fast phone chargers, When you look at the output power ratings of your phone charger and see something like this 5V --- 2A or it can be written as 5V ----2000mA then you should know that you have a fast phone charger – in other words, anything higher than 1A (1000mA) is considered a faster phone charger; and if you can even see 3000mA (very uncommon) the fastest the charger will be.

So those are the simple ways you can easily tell whether you have a fast, normal or slow phone charger.

Now you can just pick up your phone charger and check (experiment) and tell us below the comment box if your phone charger is a fast charger or a slow one.
