Is it OK to charge phone with lower amp?
We recommend higher amperage to ensure cooler power supply and optimal charge time. If you get a charger with amperage less than your original power supply, you risk overheating your charger, burning it and in many case your device will stop functioning and/or charging.
What if I charge my phone with lower watt charger?
Can you charge a higher watt device with a lower watt charger at least partially? Sure. There is no connection between the charging circuit and the discharging circuit, usually. So, you could spend all night charging a spot light, for instance with a trickle charge.
Can high current Damage phone?
Yes, phones have inbuilt charging circuits that prevent over current. You will not be able to damage it unless you input too much voltage. The current the charger is capable of supplying is, above the greatest current the circuit will allow, irrelevant.
Can I charge my phone with higher amp charger?
Not at all. In fact, a higher amperage charger will likely charge your phone even faster, and it can do so safely. If they’re not using the same quick charge technology, it will still charge you phone—it’ll just do it a bit slower.
Do all mobile chargers have the same voltage ratings?
All mobile chargers have same voltage (5v) ratings but they differ in current ratings. There are only high current chargers. Batteries have limited operating temperature range (-10 to 50 deg c).
What happens if my phone charger is higher than my Charger?
If the current rating is higher on your charger than on your smartphone it should not be a problem, as the phone will generally have features to draw only the required current. However, your phone might heat up and this might lead to damage in the future.
Do high current rated charges damage a mobile phone battery?
At higher charging currents they heat up rapidly and operating at higher temperatures decreases the life of battery drastically. So high current rated charges damage batteries, and they wont affect electronics in your mobile phone.
Why does my phone not charge when plugged in?
If output voltage is less than 5 V then your phone may not charge at all. Basically, mobile phones contain charging circuit (inside phone) to handle the DC output of mobile charger. Charging circuit contains a voltage regulator which provides around 4.2 V to battery.
