Hello,
I just installed ReVolt and the charge rate is just ridiculous. I can manually change the charge rate but before I do I need too know a few things. The first thing is on stock charger what is the Input Current? The second thing is what is the charging current, (the current going from the phone to the battery).
I know the risks and I'm not stupid I just need to know so I will not damage my charger and battery.
Have a read on the charger itself. It should say how many amps or A it charges at.

I dont know input but at output is 1A at 5V
Since u mentioned u know the risks, can u please give me a brief on em?
Whars the max that can happen?
And is the super fast charge worth it?

On my previous phone I blew the battery from pushing too much current into it after I changed the charging current. I put 800 and my battery could only handle 650. On my previous phone the charger melted and almost caused a fire because I changed the input current to a higher number instead of using the right one.
I just want to make sure the same thing doesn't happen again. So for those who mock or who are rude just stop. Not everyone is a pro. Does anyone know the input current of the stock battery for the Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 while charging? What is a safe number. I'm using an app which doesn't show the right values.

there should be only max current of the charger
Woah. Now thats scary.

I found the charger rate but I want too know the charge rate of the battery. How much current can the stock battery accept?

1000 mah normal charging and 475 mah with usb

I might as well enjoy long charges if no one knows the battery rate. I know the charger rate.

I use mine on default rate for mains and 900ma thru USB and it charges just fine and safely.
So long as the USB is capable of supplying 900ma (most modern PCs can) then there shouldn't be a problem.
I've heard of people using higher rates (mains is 1A, USB 500ma by default) than above but this can be dangerous, for both you and your phone.

I have a question for those who bought the Samsung spare battery charger device with the integrated stand. What is the rated output voltage and amperage of the charger? If should say so on the device itself.
Also, if possible, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me the actual voltage and/or amperage of the charger as measured by a volt/amp meter.
The reason I am looking for this info is because I bought a spare battery from Samsung, but the current charger that I have doesn't charge it all the way (only to about 91% full) since the output voltage is too low. I would like to purchase a third party charger since they are much cheaper, but I need to know what its specs should be.
I believe the charger your talking about is 5.0 volts and 1.0 amp. I haven't run it on a meter. I would say any usb charger with that rating or higher should be sufficient for a 100% charge

Sorry, I didn't mean the USB charger, I meant the one where you put a spare battery in it by itself to charge. Here is the link for what it looks like:

Sorry, shouldn't have said usb. I was in a sprint store on Sunday looking at that battery/charger combo and I it said 5.0 volts/ 1.0amp

Incorrect. The charger that comes with the phone itself is 1 amp, the charger that comes with Samsung's spare battery stand ebh-1g6mla is only .7 - the stand can accept input at either 500 mA or
1 A. It outputs only 4.2v @ either 450 or 900 mA.

I just bought one of those things you plug into the wall and it has two USB ports. One of the ports is marked 2.1A. Any reason not to charge the Evo from that?
EDIT: never mind, my bad - I found the answer in the forums.
What was the answer?

2.1 is the max amperage available for charging. It won't hurt anything, as the phone will regulate the level drawn to its maximum amount.
If you use a low-power charger, say .5A or below, then it will just take longer to charge.
The 3.0 that was mentioned is USB 3.0 (speed/revision), not the current rating.
2.1 will work fine. It will charge the phone noticeably quicker. I know this because I use my Nexus 7 charge brick to charge my phone all the time and it's significantly quicker.
It's also completely safe.

Your phone will not intake power at a higher rate than 2.1 amps. That's by electrical design, not by software.

So I wasted my money on an extra 0.9 amps?.. The charger was only $8 so it doesn't matter I guess. At least I have the power to plug something else in the second USB slot and not go below 2.1amps.

I was scared that I was doing damage to it by using my Note II's 2 amp charger! lol Thanks for that!
According to Amazon,i should not use the white Anker universal charger on s3 batteries, is there a reason for this? So far i see no reason, but I do not want to take a risk, thanks!
note: I used to use this to charge my s2 Anker batteries
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Probably because it charges very slowly compared to the correct s3 charger and it is designed for 3.7v rather than 3.8v. You may not think there is a difference but higher voltage leads to higher termination voltage which this charger will never reach.

So generally, it should be safe to use? It would just change slower?

As long as the charger is designed for Li-ion battery and the correct mAh rating then yes it is safe, but you will never acheive a 100% charged battery for your phone.
Yep charged every single phone battery I've ever had, why would it never be 100% though? Mind explaining?

Anker has another version that will work with gs3 battery.

I was wondering if there is an app/option that can tell you how fast the phone is charging, the amperage if the charge and/or the rate
I have a feeling one of my galaxy s1 wall bricks ifs dying but I can't tell for sure and the damn connections on the charging cables are too small for me to use a multimeter

galaxy charging current does.
you can also go to /sys/class/power_supply/battery/current_now you can get the same results. oddly, both show 460 when not charging.
Dashclock has a battery extension which shows battery and charging info.... See if that helps

Battery Widget Reborn will do this.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hubalek.android.reborn.beta
There is also a non beta version and a pro version.
There is a thread about it here on xda as well.
Let us know the results!

After downloading the app that freddyfredfred has offered you might go to Galaxy note 3 accessories. There are threads on charging, from what I have read and experienced the stock charger works the best. But the trick is a heavy cable, I picked up a 3.0 USB cable for a external hard drive at a radio shack. The cable is twice as thick as the stock cable and knocked about 15 min off a charge cycle from 20% . Hope this helps !
jimzweb1 is right, i am using pantech burst cable with the charger and it works absolutely fine
you can use 'galaxy charging current lite' to check charging current to the mobile.
I downloaded Galaxy charging current lite and it says 1200. Is that a good rate?

Sorry for late reply mate
Value depends on ur charger output.. See what's the output current on ur charger... If it's 1.2A then your value is perfect
Btw you are supposed to consider maximum value not reference one
