Charger voltage - Microsoft Surface Duo Questions & Answers

Question about device. Does it need 18+W charger like Nintendo Switch? It's just both of them are the only mobile devices I have that doesn't (NS) or almost doesn't (SD) charge when on 5V charger.
When I correct Duo to 5V charger is its so slowly charging than when used is actually discharging...

it could be your charger or your cable. I have a 5V charger and it goes up to roughly 2amps while charging. I have a USB ammeter, tested it this morning because i thought I was having charger issues (a reboot fixed my issue)

2amp charger

Anyone know if a 2amp (mini usb charger) would damage the TYTN. I would think not but I have no idea if charging the battery rapidly would damage it? unless there is an internal chip that regulates the charging?
Any help would be appreceated so I can start the MOD.
I have 2A usb car charger. seems to work just fine.

Need USB charing cable...

Hello
As you know, our device doesnt get charged by the USB cable it comes with (or veeeeeery slow).
As I have a solar charging device with USB slots, I need a compatible USB cable. Somehow it has to work, is there some converter or something ?
Thanks!

Eh? My device charges just fine with the included cable.
You will have trouble charging it from a solar powered USB charger as I'm guessing it will only put out 5V at maybe 500mA. That's not enough to juice the TF. It's not the cable though.
Because ASUS used a USB connector on its cable, unfortunately does *not* mean this USB connector 100% follows the specifications for USB.
It has a trick, whereby, when connecting to your PC it works like USB at 5v. But, when connecting to a 15v charger it switches to use 15v instead.
The TF charging indicator, and Android OS battery settings, only indicate charging when 15v applied. At 5v it may trickle charge with screen & wifi & ??? turned OFF. I never try charging at 5v because it is too slow.
LOL
I don't think it charges at all at 5v?
EDIT:
How can I delete a post?

It will, provided you have the amperage. But its only trickle so its only really charging with the screen off and charges slower than the tablet uses battery.

slow charging?

Anyone find charging the Z3TC painfully slow? It takes me 6+ hours to get to full charge using the magnetic connector. Is it faster over USB? Is there anyway to see how much current is actually being drawn without root?
I'm charging using a USB wall wart, 5V/2A rating.
while charging, go to settings/about tablet/status and look what battery state is saying: "AC" means normal charging while "USB" says usb charging. The latter often is usualy limiting to 500mA. This would mean that your wallmart charge or your cable has the connectors wrong so that the device thinkgs it is on a normal pc-usb port.

3:50 for me to fully charge on magnetic stand.
magnetic charging
I also experience the same thing with the magnetic changer but when I use USB it does change it faster
I've noticed that as well! That it takes over 6 hours to charge up. It's very mysterious as to why though. I have the usb cord connected to a 5v/2a rated wall adapter, that takes forever to charge it with. Anyone know why or how to get it to charge faster?
So I ordered a bunch of stuff from ebay and amazon and am going to try a few things over the new few days to figure out the slow charging
1). charge using 5V/2A wall wart through a "charging" micro usb cable. This is one where the 3 data pins are not connected, only the 2 power pins. I have a rooted htc one m8 that can measure the charging current and will make sure this setup is capable of >500mA charging
2). same as above but use a micro usb to magnetic port adapter
3). charge using the official DK36 charging dock(not designed for the Z3TC as far as I know, it came with my xperia z2 phone, but the tablet fits in it and charges)
Since theres so many links in this chain(wall wart, usb cable, dock/mag port connector) I figure its worth seeing if one of them is a weak link

Quick Charge, Power Delivery and USB charging for Realme 7 Pro

Hi, I would like to ask about SuperDart 65W (10V, 6.5A) from Realme 7 Pro. It charges every of its two batteries at 5V and 6.5A (32.5W each) but I found information that it suppots Power Delivery and Quick Charge 18W as well. With PD and QC you can charge the battery at 9V , 12V, 15V etc. but not 10V. Does anyone know at what voltage the smartphone will be charged if you use PD or QC charger?
Is it safe to charge it with higher/less voltage? (e.g. 2x4.5V or 2x6V if 5V is needed for one battery)
And what about the standard 5V chargers and usb 3.1 (e.g laptop)? Is it possible to charge 7 Pro with it?
Generally, all fast charges will drop ther voltage when the connected phone doesn't support it.
With lower voltage you wont have any problems other than the speed of charging, which will obviously decrease
Standard 5V chargers will work just fine
Normal laptop usb will work just fine, in fact you will be lucky if the laptop supports any sort of fast charging at all
You are 100% safe to charge with pretty much any charger to my understandment

Looking for a wall charger to power 2 fast charger devices

I only have a single available power outlet.
Currently, I have my SAMSUNG 15W Fast Charge 2.0 Wireless Charger Stand's stock wall charger (USB-C) plugged into that electrical outlet. I would like to replace that stock wall charger with something that has an extra plug (USB-A) to accommodate second fast-charging device... my Samsung Tab S6.
Could someone tell me which wall charger to get that would be compatible with both fast charging devices and charge the respective devices at their maximum speeds?
