no? When Sony gives you a 1.5 mA charger use it! Using another Charger whith higher mA can really damage your device and if the Battery explodes the user can be hurt, too.
Possible things to go wrong:
Lesser battery live time
Battery damaged irreparably
Battery explodes and may hurt you
Phone can not be charged up again (controller damaged)
complete Phone can be damaged (hardware unusable)
Warranty lost

Never had that problem, using multiple types of charger including car chargers. Battery life from day one is just about the same, and i keep my phone plugged in whenever possible.
- ipad charger (2.1A)
- iphone charger (0.5A)
- Samsung charger (1.0A)
- car ciggy port lighters (2.1A and 3.0A)
- international power plug adaptor (2.1A)
- notebook (~0.5A to 2A)
- powerbanks of various makes (1.0-2.1A)
...come to think of it, my Sony charger is still wrapped up nicely in the box lol
it has been this way even before using the ZU, with my other phones - Nokia N97, N8, E65/66, Note 1, Note 8

The phones IC's should limit the current drawn by the phone (the ZU seems to stop at 1.8 A) and limit it even further if the battery gets hot.
The ICs in the ZU is capable of fastcharge 2 from what I've read - anyone keen to see how hot a battery can get pulling 4A? <= don't try this at home kids

So A 2 mA original Samsung charger should be fine .
What about the dock chargers,how about their mA?

Haha thats why i sayed no to charging whith over 1.5 mA . All that what i sayed are possible things what COULD happen. Made that once on an older phone whith the result of an balloon like battery.
Don`t wanted to be someone who kills ZUs
Hello,
Did anyone tried this new chargers ?
Where can i buy worldwide shipping ? can't find anywhere :/
thanks
cables
I'm planning to buy a quick charger for my Z3. Maybe i'll buy this one. I just want to know, what cable should i use? or will the default cable of the Z3 would enable quick charge? Here is the charger i'm planning to buy. Is quick charge cable dependent as well? can't find any post about the cables.
http://www.pure-gear.com/extreme-usb-wall-charger-849.html
I thought it was a Quickcharger (EP880), the one that came with the phone.
It is EP881.
If you buy a EP881, they give you a EP880 power adapter(this already comes with the phone) and a different looking usb cable. so i would say if you buy a z3 you already have a quick charger. someone in the z3 compact forums confirms this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/accessories/magnetic-dock-quick-charger-t2926784
also if you google EP881 you can see multiple images of the EP880 power adapter.
i hope this clears up any confusion
EP880 is not a Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 charger
FYI, just received a Qualcomm Quick charge 2.0 compatible charger and the Z3 definitely takes advantage of it. I have the Tenergy Turbo charger and the light is blue for normal charging and green for Quick charge 2.0. The only downside is it doesn't seem to work using the magnetic charging port, only directly into USB.
Roughly how fast do you get a full charge?
I read that with 2.0 it rapid charges to ~65% and then normal rate.

Not sure since I only had it on for a little while testing today. No I don't feel like running down my battery and testing it, it takes to long to run down the battery
It absolutely, definitely charges at QC 2.0 speeds though, but only via the USB directly into the phone, not through the magnetic charger.

proof? sony seem to think they are considering when you buy EP881 you buy is actually a combination of EP880 and a usb cable.
did you buy an EP881? if so what model number is on the brick?

they are "quick charge" but not Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 spec. Maximum output for the EP880 is 5v 1500mA. Quick Charge 2.0 charges at 5v 2000mA (2A) or 9v 2A, or 12v 1.5A

ah ok that now makes sense, Sony should make this clear. it is already hard enough to find information about all of this.
Guys,
Charger provided with my Sony Xperia z3 got short circuit (burning smell from the head piece) on the 1st charge itself. It was replaced in the sony service center. The issue is, the output the replaced charger was 5V-1500mAH. I forgot the output rating the charger provided in the box. Please confirm the output rating by the pic. Based on your inputs, I will raise a request to my retailer to provide. Please find the rating of the replaced charger.
Yes mine is 1500 as well out of the box. Sorry your pic don't load. Can you tell me model number of your charger?

Now i see it. Yes it's 1500ma and your charger is ep880

If my memory stands correct, box version of the charger rating was mentioned as 3000mAh or 2000mAH. I might have misread it in the frenzy of getting Z3 and I am the 1st buyer in Chennai, atleast that's wat the retailer told me.
I forgot to take a snapshot at tat time. My USB cable version is EC803 and Charger (provided by service center) is EP880. I have searched throughout the internet and no where the output rating of Z3 box version of charger was mentioned.
Are u sure that the box version of Sony Xperia Z3 (D6653 LTE) has the same output rating of 1500mAH. Thanks in advance.

Definitely 1500mAh
I really wish Sony would have included a quick charger in the box....
I am disappointed that the quick charge is not working with the magnetic charging port... did you try using the adapter or the usb cable when you tested if it charged faster with the magnetic port?

"quick charge" or charging at 5v 2A (2000mA) works through the magnetic charging port. This is still very fast.
Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0, which charges at 9v 2A does not work through the magnetic port, which is not a surprise to me.
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.

I am using a Samsung high speed travel charger which gives out 2.1a. Very fast and charges my C5 Ultra in around 2 hours...

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??

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...
hi
I have a c5 ultra dual sim.
when I put it to charge ,it takes a long time to charge. I have not ttimes it exactly but I think it takes more that 3 hours to charge.
now I have two questions:
1. is this normal , and does it have to do with its charger , that has 850mA output? can I use another charger ? I know they are engineered not to be damaged easily so can I use a higher rated charger with it, and more importantly will this charge the phone faster?
2. I saw a quick charge 2.0 charger that says is for C5 ultra. is this for real? does c5 ultra even support quick charge? this is the link

Regular 5V 2A charger does the job.
According to Mediatek, some QuickCharge chargers are compatible with PumpExpress+
what I asked was that if c5 ultra dual actually works with this technology. what I mean is that is there a charger that actually works with my phone and works in quick charge mode.
if anybody has personal experience with that can they post the name of that charger model.
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

Madshark2009:
I know. Many hungarian forum member said they killed charging and battery with reverse charging. I always check it.
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.
