**Testing Phone Charging Times with Various Chargers**
To test the charging times of different phones, I used three devices: Motorola X Pure, Apple iPhone 5s, and Galaxy S4. This was a fair spectrum of phones to test with, and I also used five charging ports: the Motorola Turbocharger, a 85Amp charger (OI amp), a 1Amp port on my stereo receiver, a USB 2.0 port on my personal computer, which delivers only 2.5Watts of power at 5Volts and 5Amperes.
**The Experiment**
Each phone was allowed to completely charge to 100% by timing each with a stopwatch. Then, as much as I could on the phone including running Geekbench over and over, keeping the LED on, and streaming music in the background until the phone died and would not turn on again. After that, I switched it up with a different charger. The exception was the iPhone 5s and the Motorola Turbocharger, since this charger has the ability to deliver more than 5Volts, it cannot use the USB interface which means cannot connect my Lightning cable to the brick.
**The Results**
Well first, the 1Amp receiver and 85Amp generic brick times were relatively consistent across the board. This should have been the case since they are using a standard charging protocol. The iPhone charged the quickest perhaps due to its significantly smaller battery size followed by the Moto X and lastly the Galaxy S4. Average time was roughly 350 minutes or just under 6 hours that may seem a bit long but if you think about it, that's a short enough charge cycle to be used while you're sleeping at night assuming you get an 8-hour sleep.
The 85Amp charger was quite impressive cutting charging times in Thirds with all three phones yielding a roughly 130-minute recharge time. This is thanks to the Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 and 3.0 integration and high amp output. The Motorola turbocharger performed as expected with its intended user the Moto X resulting in a mere 48 minute recharge time.
**Unexpected Results**
Followed by the S4 which is also Quick Charge capable but not at the 12Volts output to the XP is hence the 87 minutes still not bad, mind you. Of course, we couldn't test the iPhone with this charger because expected to fall somewhere between the X pure and the S4 thanks to its smaller battery.
A shocking result involved the USB 2.0 header. Both the iPhone 5s and Galaxy S4 did charge albeit for lengthy amounts of time but the Moto X Pure refused to charge. It started off at 0% worked its way to 3% over the course of an hour and a half no I am not exaggerating there, and then proceeded to decline in percentage once again back to zero at which point the phone died restarted itself and then repeated the cycle.
**What Can We Take Away**
This was likely due to the underfing processes taking place within the Moto X while it was charging. Basically the phone was consuming more power while charging than it was actually receiving power from the charger that is unfortunate and quite comical but what I want you to take away from this video is the fact that while cheap and generic charges will get the job done, it's the beefier ones that pack the punch for quick charging times. Look no further than the amperage rating on the brick itself if it's a USB 2.0 Port that amperage is fixed to half an amp if it's a turbo or Quick charger then you'll have to take into consideration both the voltage and ampage ratings.
**Special Thanks**
Special thanks to AI for hooking us up with their 5-way Amp charger as well as their car charger which includes both a USB Type-C port and their Quick charger USB Port. You can plug up to five devices into their 5-way charger with no loss and charge time and with type-C gaining support on phones like the Nexus 6p and 5x you won't regret opting for the newer Tech.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: ennot all Chargers are equal I have about seven right here and each is slightly different in terms of power delivery this beckons a brief lecture in electrical circuits

um no said no one ever with the exception of an increase in both battery temperature and dentrite which are entirely separate yet non-pivotal issues for the most part we want fast phones are now coming out with quick charging capabilities and that's nice and all but why can't I use just any old charging brick or for that matter why can't I use my computer's own USB ports well you can and there's nothing stopping you from doing so but there are very evident downsides to these Q the circuits lesson so there are three basic terms you need to no power amperage and voltage power is defined as the product of amperage and voltage that's essentially all you need to know your phone's charging time is determined by the amount of power supplied to its battery and it's the Charger's job to convert and deliver a specific amount of power to the device in question find any old power brick you've got lying around maybe one you're using in your phone at this very moment and scan for a cluster of letters and numbers typically engraved or printed directly on the charger itself you should see the words input and output for any device that plugs into a wall depending on where you live the input line should should read something like 100 to 240 volts 50/60 Hertz Etc this is unimportant it's the output line that you want to pay close attention to here things will vary depending on the brick you're looking at first should be the voltage for most any brick that connects via a USB hub to your phone this should be somewhere around 5 Vols it's the universal standard for USB however the amperage you'll read denoted by the capital letter A will be unique this value could be anywhere from 2 amps to upwards of 3 amps and that my friends is where Size Matters with the exception of turbochargers and special power Delivery Systems all power bricks with a USB interface will deliver x amount of power where X is again voltage times amperage in most cases voltage is five which means that you'll mainly want to be focusing on amperage to determine how much power also defined in SI units as Jewels per second or watts are being supplied to your phone from said power brick these power bricks here are rated from4 amps or 400 milliamps to 85 amps and have a relatively low power output this one here delivers approximately 1.76 WTS of power and this one here delivers 4.34 Watts so you can see that subtle changes in amperage even while the voltage remains relatively constant results in a substantial change in power delivered to your phone check this one out this AI amp 5way charger delivers a grand total of 12 wats of power through each of its four USB 3.1 headers and if your device is USB type-c compatible variable power delivery between 10.8 and 19.5 Watts this Motorola turbocharger depending on your device's specifications can deliver up to a staggering 25.8 Watts crazy but okay Greg that's fine in Dandy and all some bricks deliver more power to your phone so what show me the numbers that's what I'm about to do I used three devices a Motorola X pure an Apple iPhone 5s and a Galaxy S4 I think it's a fair spectrum of phones to test with I also used five charging ports the Motorola turbocharger which came out of the Moto X pure's Box by the way the oi amp charger a85 amp generic power brick a 1amp port on my stereo receiver and a USB 2.0 port on my personal

charged all three phones on all five Chargers the exception being the iPhone 5s and the Motorola turbocharger since this charger has the ability to deliver more than 5 volts it cannot use the USB
