Hi
I bought a spare battery for my LG G5. I believe it is a genuine one as it comes with the LG Battery Charging Dock Cradle Charger.
But it does not QuickCharge. My original battery does.
Is it normal?

Are you sure it doesn't? Install Ampere and check if 'charging mode' says 'turbo' with both batteries.

I recently lost my charger that came with my l9 and used a friends samsung charger. It charges my phone but my battery will be dead in just a few hours. Same voltage as lg charger. My question is do I need to buy an oem charger or will a generic charger be fine? I also found one on newegg that uses lg parts but the model # is different than original charger, what do you suggest? Anyone have any experiences with this?

I use charger from my kindle. I would buy generic cause it's probably cheaper and imo there is no diffrence.

That's odd ... i don't understand why it wouldn't charge the same as the L9.

The amperage needs to be the same as your OEM charger or higher. If the amperage is lower it will take much longer to charge and may not charge completely if the charging circuit on the device does not handle lower amperage chargers.
Besides the oem charger, which is the best quality spare battery charger? My anker charger broke after a few months of use, and from what I see Zero Lemon seems to sell the exact same charger only its rebranded. Are there any better options?
Were you using Anker batteries? Did you get them through Amazon or elsewhere? How did/do they compare to the standard battery in your opinion?
With my Note 22 I used an app called "Galaxy Charging Current". Unfortunately it doesn't work on this phone. With the best charger & cable, the Note 2 showed 1800mA charging. I am looking for an App that would give me similar information with the V10.
Ampere seems to work with the V10:

currently using Ampere but getting mixed results
I use GSAM Battery Monitor.
with GSam & 35‰ charged it said the charger was charging @ 196mA. If that were so, then the factory fast charger is defective.
With Ampere & 45% charged it said the charger was charging @ 930mA. If that were so, then the factory fast charger is defective.
My Note 2 charges @ 1800mA and does not know what a fast charger is.

I use Battery Monitor Widget Pro. Best I've used so far to monitor battery usage. Haven't actually used it on my V10 but this post just reminded me to install it.

quick charge 2.0 increases voltage to phone and drops the amps.
so a 5v 2.4a charger will put out around 1800mA (1.8a) on a note 2, the V10 with QC2.0 @ 930mA is prob feeding phone 9-12 volts

So fast charge capabilities are screwing around with our battery monitoring apps?
Or rather screwing our perception of speed of charge and ma draw?
Ampere.. been using it for years

Ampere actually broke my "Estimated time remaining" under battery & storage settings. Just would sit on "calculating... please wait."
Uninstalled it and it's back to working again.

So to sum up...
930 on a V10 is "the same" as 1800 on a note 2?
I also came from a note 2 and have been confused as heck trying to figure out if my v10 is charging at a decent rate.
I never have a problem with the oem charger but I was on a car trip and using an external battery pack and also tried plugging in to my car stereo but couldn't figure out how to "read" the charging apps.

Take note that the v10 turns off fast charging while screen is on. And ampere is a gesstimate, no app can give you presice. Need to use a USB Doctor sleeve for better results.
Unfortunately Ampere remeassures every time the screen turns on. I used the paid version widget.
Additional note. Fast chargers and fast charging is not the same as Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0.
A 2.4A charger will not quick charge qc 2.0 LG v10 in this case any faster than an old Iphone cube.
You need a qc (qualcomm) 2.0 compatible quick charger and decent cable. Zerolemon, aukey, tronsmart, Motorola turbo qc 2.0 chargers works great.
The LG v10 is capable of 2400-2850mA. Slightly slower then the Nexus 6, but faster than the G4.
The stock charge that comes with the v10 is qc 2.0 [email protected] or [email protected] max. Some chargers can do 12v, ZeroLemon is one.

Does it matter what cord is used?
I have the Aukey charging station..wish that power cord was longer

Yes in my experience, the quality of the cable makes a difference. I'm not sure if its the actual thickness or connections. I have a 6 foot braided flat cable that doesn't always fast charge on wall charger, but I have a 3 foot flat that does in the car. When I use my better cables it works every time.. I don't know if length makes a difference.
Yes, when I was using my Samsung Note 2 and an app called Galaxy Charging Current you could see the difference in mA. Using an Anker charger and a good cable got it up to 1800mA. It is harder to find longer cables that do not produce a loss. The quality of the conductor (metal /copper) shows up here. I wish that "Galaxy Charging Current" worked on the LG V10.

i use this cable by Zikko 1.5m long and max my note 2 with 1800mA. Also the cable works great with LG v10 and support Fast charging. Not only that the quality of the cable is superb. i broke one when my phone fell during charging and it landed on the the bottom first causing the micro usb from cable crooked. beside that the cable is great. http://www.hersheng.com/sites/default/files/1403253142.jpg
Hi , I want to disable the fast charging of lg v10 , I looked at the setting ...but There are no option to toggle charge between fast and normal ....please help
Sent from my LG-H960 using Tapatalk
Use another charger other than LGs. I use my old HTC charger for example.
Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk
there's no way to disable that if you use the original charger of V10, they are rated to charge as fast as they can...you need to use another charger, i recomend you use a 5V 700mah max amperage and if you dont bother to turn off your device after plug it because your battery will get a good calibration and last a little bit longer, for sure a full charge with 700mah charger take almost 3:30 hours but it will make difference, trust me, i do the same with mine at least 1 time per week.

you should use at least a normal 2A charger. As you for sure know amps a drawn by the device connected to the charger and the V10 pulls up to 1.5A if the battery is lower than 30-40%. Using a 700mA charger might kill your charger after some time.

kill the charger?! what are you talking about?!!! i use 5V 700mah charger 1 time per week since i brought my device back in july and until today i put it in charge with zero battery and until today nothing of that you saying happening...is bull****, slow charging is better way to keep your battery healthy for long time, fast charger deteriorate battery's faster...
trust me, slow charging dont kill charger or the battery, i do this since 2013, i do this with LG 4X HD, LG G2, LG G3, G Flex2 and now with V10 and nothing have happen to my devices, i know what i'm doing, i am electronic technician and i know what i do.
Just wondering if anyone has every used a fast charge QI charger and what were your results.
I bought the Samsung Fast Charge Wireless Dock and it works flawlessly with my MXF , the coils align perfectly and charging time is about the same as a standard 2000mAh charger
Only draw back, on a full charge (for example from 20% to 100%) the phone gets really hot , lot warmer than with the original Moto Turbo Charger

The excessive heat concern is the reason I sold my Wireless Charger on Craig's List.
In my opinion, the phone/battery got much too hot with wireless charging and I did not want to damage the battery.

Hi Pouic,
I've 3 Qi chargers, and only one have a warm issue. It worked great with the original ROM, but I flashed CM13 and got this issue.
On my 2 other QI chargers, I've no problems !
what qi chargers do you have?
I have a choetech standup fast charger. Works a treat. Phone doesn't get too hot
