I just found that the charger came with my phone is ep800, 850 mA output, but i read somewhere about ep850 also came with xs in other market, ep850 got 1500 mA output and it will charge much faster than ep800. So i wonder which charger is better for battery life?

The real question now is... if you have the EP800.. how can you get the EP850
I bought my phone from Phones4U UK, so I have the EP800
Just a thought, the EP800 is charging faster than the previous chargers so no complaints about it

I bought mine from phones4u and i too have the EP800 charger. Cant say i have noticed it charging that much quicker than my previous phone the Arc. Still charges reasonably quick though.
o2 and ep800 charges so slowly.
I just used my Transformer Prime's charger since it outputs at least 1.2A, much higher than the EP800. Charges almost 20% in about 10-15 minutes.
My charger seems to say ep600 on it.

As far as i know, it's the heat that's relevant.
And i gotta say, when charging with my EP850, the phone doesn't get hot at all.
Not even warm.
I got the answer from talk.sonymobile.com:
Both are compatible with your phone but you will not get EP850 in the box. The phone comes with EP800 (as you already have noticed) and if you want the other one you have to contact a store that sell Sony products.
The battery should not be affected in negative terms by any of these.

EP800 and I think it's better we have EP800 on our hands cause EP850 is not good for battery I think.

In about two hours of charging I went from 8% to 41%. Is anyone else experienceing this issue? I'm using all the cords and plugs given to me for the wall.
I don't have the SGS3 (yet), but my guess is that the battery is so large it takes longer to charge. Keep in mind that it's a 2100MaH battery. Depending on the power that the charger puts out, it could take longer to charge this battery than another phone.
Mine charges fairly quick with stock items.

So would you agree something is wrong with my phone?
I agree, the first few cycles might not be too accurate. If you want a faster charger get the HP Touchpad charger, it has 2 amps where as the Samsung one is .75 amps of charging. only $5 on hp website. that's what I use.

Monoprice sells a 2.1 amp 4 usb wall charger as well but it is not as cheap nor do they have free shipping *although atleast in CA I can get a flat rate of 25lbs and under for ~$5 shipping.*
I'm surprised no one has posted the correct answer to this yet. The wall charger Samsung has decided to include with the S3 NA is complete and utter crap. I believe it is .15amp draw. You need to immediately throw it in the trash and buy a new one. It is not a problem with your phone.

while I like Monoprice, the HP OEM charger is better in my opinion. its solid built and portable too.

My Samsung Charger that came with the phone is 1Amp...charges the device fine. I don't think the 2Amps will make a difference if the charging chip doesn't support it (not saying it doesn't but the SGSII would only charge at 650maH no matter what charger you put it on)
Mine's charging insanely fast with the stock cable. Not sure if it's a good thing because battery life isn't all that amazing on my phone so far.

doesn't that mean each USB port is 0.5 amps?
Anyways if I'm not wrong the amps has to do with what it can supply. Whether the device tries to draw that much power is up to the device.
The stock charger is 5V 1amp.
Even if you use a 2 amp charger it will likely only draw one amp.
Even if it does draw 2 amps that would mean you are increasing the heat associated with more current. Heat is the worst thing for battery life. Its always better to do slow charge unless you're in a hurry. Your battery will last a lot longer that way. Having said that, I think 1 amp is a good compromise for speed and heat.
p.s. computers output 0.5amps per USB slot by default specifications.

This is a question for those of you who got the EP850 fast charger rather than the normal EP800 charger in your Sony Xperia S box. How long does it take to charge from 0-100%?
Using the EP800 it takes me 2 and a half hours from flat to full.
Thanks.
It depends; if you don't use the phone while charging, it sometimes can be done in about 1.5 hours
Maybe even faster, but I'm not sure about that

The cable from DX is a male / female usb charge cable which means the male usb goes into the phone charger and leaves the female side of the usb cable to take your original sony charge/data cable. Now the DX cable has bridged connectors to alow charge only which carries through on the sony cable and into your phone therefore fast charge
Last nite i orded one of these little adapters to use instead of sony cable to see if i can get more juice into the phone
Micro usb adaptor
I know people say that 0.5m length of Sony cable will not affect charging as in resistance wise but i have a feeling it does and i wont be happy until i try out the adaptor, I'll let ye know how it goes when it arrives from China in 3 weeks time

A heads up from my contact with Sony, the reason or the EP851s very limited availability and people being shipped an EP850 instead of an EP851 is because they are CANCELLING the EP851. Instead this will be the Official Sony Boost charger, the SPA-ACC11. Part of the reason for the cancellation is to integrate accessories under the Sony model numbering scheme. The SPA prefix stands for SmartPhone Accessory and will be Sony's new model numbering scheme for all Xperia related accessories. All Xperia related accessories in the future will start with SPA. ACC stands for AC Charger obviously. The SPA-ACC11 just debuted in Japan and should be in the USA by October and the rest of the world by the end of the year. Here is the link to the Japanese site:
http://www.sony.jp/av-acc/products/SPA-ACC11/feature_1.html
UPDATE: Now available for worldwide purchase HERE:
http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/pure-m/item/4905524899825/
Isn't the EP850 the boost charger? At least mine charges the XPERIA in less than an hour. It's got an output of 1500mA... The charger of my Galaxy Tab 10.1 is 2000 mA so uhm... what am I missing here?
Too big.

What you are missing is it's just part of the transition from Sony Ericsson to Sony. The EP850 will cease to exist. The SPA-ACC11 is the Sony replacement to the Sony Ericsson EP850 going into the future that's all.

Well regardless the EP chargers were a Sony Ericsson product. This thread is just a heads up highlighting one of the changes that's coming as Mobile is now a part of Sony. Sony Ericsson EP850/851 being discontinued ----> Sony SPA-ACC11 taking its place as the official 'boost' charger.
SPA stands for SmartPhone Accessory. ACC stands for AC Charger. Much better than the Sony Ericsson numbering scheme.
Looks a bit bulky to me. They could have just renumbered the ep850/851 instead, no? Personally I'm just using my nexus 7 charger (2000 mAh) if I need to fast charge and it means I only need 1 charger if going anywhere. Surely this was the whole point of standardising USB connectors on most devices.

The EP880 will be the 'pack in' charger included with phones cause it is of cheaper quality (designed and made for Sony by Salcomp http://www.salcomp.com/en/) and won't be sold in retail. As far as I know there won't be an EP881 for retail. The SPA-ACC11 will be Sony's own higher quality charger actually designed and produced by Sony charger intended to be sold stand alone as an accessory. You can now buy the SPA-ACC11 here straight from Japan:
http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/pure-m/item/4905524899825/
The SPA-ACC11 is also perfect as the matching official adaptor to go along with the Xperia P, T, TX , V or ION docks as the docks do not include an AC adaptor.

Well that's what my random Nokia charger that I found abandoned on one shelf takes to charge my Xperia S. 90-100 min. So it makes me wonder if non-Sony high power chargers trigger the so called fast charge. 90 min is slow on my record book.
It looks quite old and it has 1200ma. Can't tell to which Nokia model it belonged to.
I also tried with a newer Iphone 4S 1amp charger and it takes AGES to charge my Xperia S. Like 3 hour. I don't know why. Do the math, it's illogical.

My Xperia S refuses to charge at over 500mAh unless i am using the official supplied USB cable.
If i connect a generic USB cable to the supplied EP800 charger it will only charge at a maximum of 500mAh rather than the maximum of 850mAh.
retail EP881:
what is the difference with EP881 and EP851? and why still EP, not SPA-ACC?
Not sure of the current, but my HP Touchpad charger has got my U from 0% (couldn't turn on) to 76% in an hour so far.
That's a 2A output.

I found a thread on XDA which told me to download Galaxy Charging Current to check how much MAH I get when charging my phone.. So I have tried charging the phone with the ORIGINAL S 3 charger and the current_max I get is 600 .. Should this not be some were near 900 or 1000? I had a SONY charger and USB cable I used 2 previously use to charge the S 3 which charged the phone VERY quickly however I had to sell the SONY phone so gave the Charger away as well.
I have tried using a Galaxy S 4 charger to charge the phone and I see a massive difference in the speed it charges.
Result:
Galaxy S 4 charger ..... The phone went up 4% in 2.5 - 3 minutes (Not my charger so cant keep using it)
Galaxy S 3 charger ..... The phone went up 1% in 3 minutes
Should I just buy a S 4 charger for the S 3? The charging speed is sooo much better than the original s3 charger?
Someone please reply!!
Thank You.
Should indeed be around 1000mA, but it does tail off towards the end of charging. No need to buy an S4 charger just a half decent branded wall charger rated at least 1000mA should be fine.

The reason I am saying I would buy a S 4 charger is because I have already tried it with the phone and it charges it fast. Also I heard the S 4 charger is rated at 2.0 amps therefore I am just best of buying it.. At a price of £5.45 from Ebay.. It cant go wrong than that?
1 more question... Currently I have the original battery in my S 3 .. Is it worth buying a 6000MAH battery for the S 3 and how long will it last with a little use of Facebook and You Tube?

Hi,
Thank You for your reply and sorry for the late reply. I have checked the price for the GENUINE S 3 charger and it costs around £6 and the S 4 2 AMP charger cost some were around £6.19. Therefore compared to buying a 1.0 AMP I would rather buy a 2 AMP charger. I have already tried a S 4 Charger on my S 3 and it did charge the phone very quickly whereas the GENUINE S 3 charger I have takes more than a minute to do 1% which is just unacceptable. I know its not the phone as I have tried the S 4 charger and it did charge it quickly.
I am thinking to buy a bigger battery for the S 3 while I am at it as the stock 2100 MAH battery does not last that long.. On Ebay I see 6000 MAH battery's and one 7000 MAH.. Which should last a lot longer..
Thank You!!!
I just got my C5 Ultra Dual 3 days ago... and the main disappointment of this phablet is the battery. Because the battery drains really fast, so i have to charge it twice a day. Actually it doesn't really matter, but this phone really have a super sloooow charging. When i checked the desktop charger, it only give 850 mAh output (meanwhile other phones' official charger alreade give 1,5-2 A output).
I'm thinking of buying Sony EP881 Fast Charging (1,5A output), does it really charges C5 faster?
or do you know any other "faster" charger that compatible for our C5?
Thank you
Using an old note 3 2amp charger, makes it charge faster, but would also like to know re ep881
I tried to charge using my old Zenfone 5 charger (1.35A) and it is indeed faster, my friend's Z1 also charges faster.
But when I use my iPad Air charger (2.4A) it's slow just like the desktop charger (850 mA).
So yeah because of this mixed results, I'd also like to know how fast it would charge with the EP881.

Oh dear. There are two options.
1 - Try returning the phone to the nearest Sony dealer. Show the original receipt which will show the device is new and still under warranty. Hopefully they can resolve the issue.
2 - Sony may ask you to return it to the shop where it was bought. Unfortunately you may have to return it to the shop you bought it from in Dubai Airport. They will most likely send the unit off to Sony for repair or replacement.
That said, try option 1, much more convenient. Hopefully they can solve your problem without having to mess about returning it to the original shop which happens to be in another country! Otherwise you may even have to ship the item along with the receipt to the shop. Once they receive the unit they will advise you on what they will do and how long it will take for it to be fixed/replaced. Once that has been completed, they will need to ship it back to you.
Either way, good luck and let us know what happens!
Bought this phone when I was in Thailand when I killed my Nexus 6 by walking into the ocean while it was in my pocket..lol. Anyways, the phone is slow at charging, not like my Nexus 6 which takes only 15 mins to charge fully. I switched to the Motorola Nexus 6's turbo charger and my C5 is charging A LOT faster. Standard charging is 5V @1.6A, Turbo 1 is 9V @ 1.6A, and Turbo 2 is 12V @ 1.2A. Not sure if the C5 is a Turbo charging enabled device but it's definitely charging way faster than the stock charger.

I just got my C5 Ultra Dual 3 days ago... and the main disappointment of this phablet is the battery. Because the battery drains really fast, so i have to charge it twice a day. Actually it doesn't really matter, but this phone really have a super sloooow charging. When i checked the desktop charger, it only give 850 mAh output (meanwhile other phones' official charger alreade give 1,5-2 A output).
I'm thinking of buying Sony EP881 Fast Charging (1,5A output), does it really charges C5 faster?
or do you know any other "faster" charger that compatible for our C5?
Thank you

I've used my old Samsung charger that came with my old s4 and the charger puts out 5.0v at 2amps. And I used it on the original z ultra and I tested it on my new c ultra and it works great however I have realized that these particular phablets really don't charge that fast and from my experience they never have but they are at best average when it comes to charging. Oh by the way I also have the original Sony charger u s version and I see vary little differents in the amount of time it takes to charge
But will it damage the battery or affect the battery life if we use a 2A-5V charger??

Are u sure charger giving 1.5-2A output if used with c5 ultra will not harm the phone

I use various chargers (Anker, Samsung, LG, Apple) and all of them work better than original, but you should leave the phone idle when charging.

The phone charges on maximum ampere it can take (~2A) no matter the charger is 100A as long as the output stays 5V.
Yes but what will happen if we use the phone while charging. Please tell the consequences

I played Candy Crush Saga when charging. The phone can be hot but it doesn't make your hands uncomfortable.
What happens if we change charger means sometimes use 2A charger, sometimes 1A or 1.5A
The amp rating on chargers are the max it can output. It doesn't mean it has to output that. Your phone's charge circuitry will control the current it actually draws. So there is absolutely no danger to use a higher amperage charger with your phone. However, I found that no matter what charger I use, including those rated up to 2.4A, the C5 is very slow to charge. It takes a lot longer to charge compared to any other phone I've had in the past. I'm going to get a current monitoring device to check actual current draw.
A side note: avoid REV (sold on BestBuy) external battery because the phone refuses to charge while Asus 10050mAh and TSST 5Ah and 10Ah external battery charge fine.

In my case, if the battery is 5% or less, it'll take around 3 1/2 hours to charge. However, should the battery be 25-30% it'll just take around 2 hours to fully charge...
