How to charge your phone faster

Hey guys, if you came here expecting things like "switch off your phone, switch off your data etc", then you are in the wrong place. I want to try to use this post to make you understand your phone charger and the cable, just sit and understand what i am about to say. it's not rocket science.

Firstly, understand this

Power(Watts) = Current(Amp) * Voltage(Volts)
 So, have you ever taken your time to look at those specifications on your charger and tried to understand what they mean. Every charger has a certain amount of Power(Watts) it can output at a given time. The higher the Power the faster the charging(simple analogy). For example

My Sony Xperia Z1 charger specification goes thus

Output
5.0V and 1500mA
Using the formula above
first we just convert the mA to Amp
5.0*1.5=7.5 watts
Good but not good enough
My LG GPAD 8.3 charger specification goes thus

Output
5.0V and 2000mA
using the formula above
5.0*2.0= 10 watts
Now this is better
From the calculations above, i don't have to tell you guys my number one charger for my devices. The thing is that you won't really see the Power(Watts) specs on the charger, that part is left for you to calculate. What you should be checking out for is the Current(Amp) output because that is what really determines how fast the charger can charge a device. At times you will see 2.1A or 1.0A or 1.5A on the body of the chargers, by now i think you should know which is the fastest. 

Computer USB ports deliver very low Current(Amp) most times 0.5A, that's why it takes time to charge up your phone. Wireless chargers can't charge your phone fast enough too. I know most LG chargers output 2.0A, not all chargers are the same. Some big mAh Power banks have 2 outlets for charging devices, and from the few i have come across, one outlet outputs more Current(Amp) than the other. If you are not busy with the device at the moment you want to charge, just put it on "Airplane Mode", it helps too.

So guys if you have any question you can ask below and remember to share the post.
