Dear all,
Is there any known powerbank product compatible for Sony tablet S? I frequently must travel away from power outlet for some times and need to charge it on the go. I could rely on powerbank for my cellphones but I can't use it to charge my Sony tablet S. Most chinese tablets are able to be charged up by powerbank though.
At least is there any power connectors that could connect Sony tablet S to powerbanks out there?
Thanks for any reply.
I think anything with a usb port should work..

The Sony Tablet S cannot be charged via a USB port. The tablet requires 2.9 A at 10.5 VDC for charging which USB ports cannot provide.
The Xperia Tablet S, however, can be charged via a USB port if the port is capable of providing 1.5 A at 5 VDC.

But how you use it ?
There are special Sony connector for charging !
Sony tablet S has a high capacity battery. It means at least you should buy a 10000mah+ power bank which can charge your Sony tablet S 1 time more
This is Luxtude quick charge power bank which is 13400mah, it can charge your Sony tablet S above 1 time.
besides，it is IP67 Waterproof & Dustproof, Shockproof

Hi,
Just wondering if there is a portable USB charger for the Xperia S that has an output that is greater than 1A? Maybe 2 if possible?
Thanks,

The sony ericsson car charger is pretty good. 1.5 amps and I paid 12 bucks for it with a cable.

YES! From Sony themselves at a 1.5A output to match their fast charger EP851 for the new NXT series phones. It has a 4000mah capacity so you can charge up your phone twice with it and the unit itself recharges fairly fast straight from AC. It was JUST released in Japan a couple days ago se we should see it around the world in the next few months unless you want to import. The model is CP-A2LAS. Be very careful with the model number as they have older models that DO NOT have the 1.5A output.
http://www.sony.jp/battery/products/CP-A2LAS/
Sony also released a matching white SUPER SHORT micro-USB cable to go along with the charger with a really convenient length of only 20cm. You can get it from this ebay seller here in Japan who will also be carrying the charger in the coming days so I will order both items from him together:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/OFFICIAL-SON...847620?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item19d2626ac4
The same ebay seller also has the Sony official Screen protectors from Japan for the Xperia S including an anti-fingerprint and anti-reflective model. I ordered the anti-fingerprint model and it is THE BEST, much better quality than the one included in the Xperia S box underneath the instruction manuals:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/OFFICIAL-SON...041418?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item53eda1110a
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.
Awwww I think Sony is messing with us..

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.

EP850 is the included fast charger (1500mA) in the phone package.
EP851 is just the retail version of the same charger.
I guess that's what had him confused.

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.

How fast does the Nexus 7 charger charges the Xperia S?
On my local Store they have Nexus 7 chargers for about 25€. Whereas they have the EP851 for 35€.
Xperia TX will ship with "EP-880" in Taiwan

I have never timed it tbh but it's output on the label is 2000mah so I would imagine its at least s a quick as the Sony one. Only use it for convenience TBH. Also in using an xperia u which also supports fast charge

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.

I use the charger from my Touchpad, which is 2000mah (I think).
Takes about 90minutes to charge the Xperia S from <5% to full.

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 was asking of EP881 vs EP851

Hi guys, Lollipop Stock rom seems to take longer to charge battery from 0-100 when compared to that of kitkat. (more than 3 hrs) . I dont know whether this is related to electric supply from boards in my home or not.
I am trying to buy Sony CP-AD2 USB AC Adaptor quick charger but need reviews before buying this. Is anyone using this ?? or used in the past ? Is this compaitable with Xperia Z3 and faster ??
Also suggest me if there are any quick chargers available in the market other than sony one (Z3 supports qualcomm quick charge 2.0) ???

In general QC2.0 chargers are the fastest charging you can possible see on a Z3. If that's not fast enough for you, nothing will be.
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'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??

The phone charges on maximum ampere it can take (~2A) no matter the charger is 100A as long as the output stays 5V.

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...
Hello!
I bought a Z2 and just have normal cable to it. I want magnetic cable but I saw here at xda that some are make the port come out. Which one should I buy? I saw a wsken official cable:http://www.ebay.com/itm/WSKEN-Official-LED-Magnetic-Charger-Cable-For-Sony-Xperia-Z3-Z2-Z1-Compact-Table-/291512272611?var=&hash=item43df7c46e3:m:mejdIkOu8Mj8vYha4mdVvHw
Anyone using it? Or can recommend a quality one please?
Mr. Dii
Hi.
About the battery charger you are asking do not know, I did not use this, but I can say my opinion about the form 2M-Magnetic-Smart-Charger-Cable-With-LED-For-Sony-Xperia-Z3-Z2-Z-Ultra-Compact - In such a charger I opted and bought because it is more compact than the other and the signal charge can be seen from different angles, not just one side.
I dont know if its my phone , but if you buy a magnetic charger be careful while using it, if you switch the plus and minus it will ruin your battery as it did to my phone! always put plus on plus and minus on minus if you DONT reverse !! and btw , magnetic charger seemed to lower my battery time , it got faster drainage by time and slower charging , again could be my phone or a defect in my batter but whatever you do dont reverse plus and minus

Look for another option "Nairuid 1M Magnetic LED USB Charging Cable SONY Xperia Z1 Z2 Z3 Ultra Compact s". Now I looked at, it turns out I'm currently taking "Nairuid 1M". They are very similar to those which I wrote to you earlier. What is the difference not know, maybe, or as some minor details. Compare again before buying.
