How to charge your phone faster

A phone charger is an essential accessory in every household, but charging isn't as simple as just connecting a cord to two contacts and a plug. Some chargers recharge your smartphone quickly, while others do so more slowly, and some chargers may not be suitable for your device at all. This article will help you choose the right charger.

If you're used to charging your phone from a wall outlet, it's important to have a good wall charger. When choosing a third-party wall charger, be guided by the specifications of the original wall charger. The current measured in amps and voltage in volts are critical to using your phone safely. Always look for the marking of the Latin letter “A” and "V" on the charger first. By simply multiplying the current by the voltage, you'll get a value for the charging power.

The simple truth is that the higher the value you get, the faster the charging speed. Don't be afraid that the phone may burn out since a special controller will limit the current to that supported by the phone. So you can safely use powerful chargers. The danger of overheating and fire does not depend on large numbers on charging, but on the correspondence of these values to reality, the originality of the accessory, and the charging conditions.

It's crucial to understand that your smartphone must support the fast charging function, or purchasing such an adapter would be pointless.

There are several fast charging protocols currently available for mobile phones. Some of the most common fast charging protocols include Qualcomm Quick Charge, USB Power Delivery (USB-PD), Apple Fast Charging, MediaTek Pump Express, OnePlus Dash Charge, Huawei SuperCharge, and Samsung Adaptive Fast Charging.

It's worth noting that not all fast charging protocols are compatible with all phones. Each device is designed for a particular current and voltage, so when charging, the device passes only a certain current.

Special adapters, which are used in smartphones with fast charging support, allow the device to accept more voltage and current. It is thanks to this technology that the smartphone charges much faster.

Sometimes, a good adapter can charge not just one but several smartphones or gadgets at once. These adapters have several connectors at once. Most often, adapters are divided into several types with different connectors.

When choosing such an adapter, be guided by its power. After all, to charge several smartphones from one adapter at once, a considerable current is required. There is always a risk of overheating and breakdown of such a charger, so always pay attention to the quality of workmanship and the capabilities of the charger.

When buying a charger, the question always arises: how to choose a data cable for it?

The data cable used in the charger is subjected to the greatest mechanical stress. Because of this, it is the first part of the entire structure that fails. When choosing it, you should pay attention to several important indicators:

• materials of manufacture - it is important that the components are made of high-quality metals and plastics;
• braid quality and flexibility;
• charging speed (supporting the fast charging function);
• cable length (optimally about one meter);
• existence of a guarantee;

Working as a team, a powerful adapter with a quality cable will charge your smartphone quickly and last a long time.
