How slow are we talking; how long does it take for it to go from 0% to a 100%?
Sent from my Mi A1 using XDA Labs

About 2hrs and 15 mins. And this is when you don't use your phone while charging at all.

My Mi A1 has almost the same capacity and charges in about 2 hours. I think that's acceptable.
Sent from my Mi A1 using XDA Labs

it took me 1 hr 35min to charge from 10-100%.
getting battery backup of 1 day & 2,4 hours above
no gaming(not a mobile gamer)

Charging are so slow it tooks atleast 2 hours to get full charge, and is not acceptable. What year is it? 2016? My other phone with lower price than this can perform 35% faster.

Pretty fast, especially when using QC3.0 charger.
0-80% is fast, but 80-100% is pretty slow in my opinion. It's a good thing tho, makes the battery last longer.

Fast charging should refer to the initial phase. If you plug in for 20 minutes it should give you enough power for atleast 5-6 hours. Sadly, that is not happening over here.

Some people here say that their device takes longer to charge and all. I say there a some important factors to consider -
1. Heat of the Device - How hot it was when you put it on charge. If it is hot, then definitely your phones regulator will reduce the amount of charge let into the phone.
2. Ambient Temperature - If the climate is hot, then automatically fast charging will increase device temperature. And as Black color absorbs more heat energy phones temperature will naturally be more than in a chilled room. (All phones are susceptible to this phenomenon, I've Experienced this first hand) and more heat = low speed charging
3. Power Outlet - The power outlet at which the charger is connected also plays a very important role. Pretty Self explanatory.
My Phone takes around 1:40 - 1:50Hrs at normal temps(ambient and device), while 2:30Hrs in a very hot condition.

too slow , it takes me over 2 hours to 25% to fully charge

Not at all that long. It usually takes around 2:00-2:10h to charge from 5% to 100% with the standard OnePlus charger.
Charging current is highly dependent on the temperature of the battery.

Can you elaborate a little?
If the battery temperature is higher than 35 degrees, the charging current is 1 amp, if it is below the maximum possible, depending of type %% charge, from 1.9 amps to a minimum when the battery is fully charged
1.45 from 0-100 with anker powerport 10
CHarging is a lot faster when the phone is on as compared to when it is off *observations*
Anker power port link pls.. @albireox
2 Hours!
It takes no more than 2 hous to be fully charged from 0% to 100%
Just completed the test about an hour ago and coincidentally stumbled upon this thread.
From 0% to 100% it took 2 hour 10 minutes.
Even with my old Moto X 750mA charger, it still charges pretty fast...
With all other 2A charger, it's like 1% / minute (1700mA going in with screen on) , so it's around 100-120 Minutes....
mine take just 1 hr 35 min to full charge from 15 % when it hits power saving mode !!
Excellent charging speed.
2 hours from zero to 100
Not as bad as I feared knowing that is didnt have fast charging.. 2 hours.. and thats OK.
I haven't had more than 3 hours yet.
I have a Qualcomm quick charger that charges my OP2 in about one hour...the OP2 charger takes about 2 hours

Charging speed seems slow than expected on Pixel 2

Hi all! My Pixel 2 charges fast(~2700mA) up to first ~20%, then the current changes to 1370mA till almost to 90%, then slows a bit till the 100%. I have used Ampere to check the charging speed. I expected the phone to charge to at least 50% at a fast rate, then slow down a bit.
I recently acquired the device and it had May patch, but then after setting the device up, it prompted me for June patch and I installed it. Don't know if the new update could be the problem.
The phone will take battery temperature into account as well. Do you have a way to monitor that and correlate it with where the current switch points are?

I charge my phone early in the morning where it was not used all night. No battery drain apps at all. It just charges from almost 0 to 20 percent really fast, but then slows to a steady 1370 mA.
What I mean is ... Try charging from a different start point.
By the time it's charged at 2.7 amps to go from 0 to 20 it might be getting warm. You might try charging when it's at 20 and cool and see what happens. Or stop at 20 and let it cool down before going any further and see what happens.

So I did some testing and here is what I see:
Phone starts to charge at a good 2700mA rate for ~ a minute, then slows down to 1370mA. It doesn't really matter if phone has 5% of battery before I start charging or 20% or 40%, the charging pattern is the same. At start the battery temperature is ~32 C and when it charges at 2700 for that first minute or so, the temp rises to ~36 C, then phone drops the charging rate to 1370. Phone is pretty much room temperature and not hot or anything like that. I have 2 Google chargers; One is from original Pixel and the other is from Pixel 2 box. Both do the same thing and charge at the same rate.
There are no abnormal app activity or any battery drain. I am using Ampere app to check mA. Did anyone come across this?
It appears you've discovered the magic battery temperature cutoff that HTC has selected for the Pixel 2 ... and that seems to be around 35 or 36 degrees.
For every 10 C rise in temperature, battery degradation doubles by almost every measurable metric. It doesn't surprise me that at around 35 C your phone appears to limit the charge current ... seemingly to avoid making the battery any hotter. Taking the temperature higher for the charge cycle (or for any other reason) will degrade the battery over time. Deep discharges toward zero also reduce the life of a battery. (Keeping it at 50% or higher is recommended for lithium-ion rechargeable batteries.)
If you can cool the phone down to 25 C before starting to charge, I'd be willing to bet that it will charge at the higher rate for longer. Maybe put a small fan on the phone or set it in front of an A/C vent while it charges and see what happens then.

That is interesting as I have had different phones which got even warmer than Pixel 2, but still charged at a good rate. I do know that after 80% of charge of so, the charge rate does go down, which isn't a surprise to me. I just picked up my phone, after it was sitting idle for few hours and see that battery/phone temp is 25 C. I will make sure to start charging phone at a low temperature and see if it will keep the fast charge rate longer.
What you mentioned about the "keeping battery at 50% or so). Did you mean that when battery goes down to 50 or so %, charge it? I usually run battery until about 30 or so % before charging it.

Yes, charging it when it gets to around 50%, based on a number of studies, seems to be the way to go.
Deep discharges and hot temperatures are enemies of battery life for today's lithium-ion cells.

I have tried just now to start charging the phone when it is 23 C, but still get the same result. Could it be the June security patch?
Update: So the phone charged by rate of 1370mA from 22% to 100% in 1h 25m. So going from 0 to 100% should take ~1h 45m? Can anyone confirm how long it takes to charge Pixel 2 using original charger?

Go a reference to these studies?
This app vendor has seen a lot and isn't convinced discharging to low values has much material effect on battery service life. Charging to high levels does, however. Interesting read I think... with commentry on the often quoted Battery University pages. I agree that heat isn't good whatever.

I can't point to anything peer reviewed or funded by the NSF ... so maybe 'studies' is the wrong word.
I've seen the Battery University articles and they've seemed believable to me. It's possible they're flawed. I've also seen articles from these guys - https://www.mpoweruk.com/life.htm ... and other tech writers who corroborate such claims. I've also seen the claims about the high level charging you're pointing to and some who suggest you should keep your battery between 50% and 85% all the time to get the most out of it.

dash charge (now called fast charge) is crazy fast!!
Still, I would only recommend using that feature if there is a real benefit - i.e. time is of the essence. The battery will age quicker being dash charged all the time.
saw 60 percent at 35 minutes and 38 seconds, which is more or less in line with what OnePlus claims
Incredibly fast compared to my old Honor 8. One example I have is the first charge I did 5 days ago when I had bought it at a pop-up event here in Sweden. I had used it for about 1-2 hours with the screen on when I was setting it up and trying out the phone. Then when I plugged it in, it went from 36% to 75% in just 24 minutes. That's insanely fast
I've also noticed that just like OnePlus claims, the phone basically charges at the same speed with the screen on as if I would have had the screen off.

Can you provide any factual basis for this statement? Research or articles from established professionals in the field of battery charging?
Everything I've read from reliable sources state that the biggest impact on battery longevity is temperature. Repeated heating (or extreme cooling for that matter) will accelerate the "aging" process, as you put it. OnePlus has actually solved this problem by offloading the energy conversion that causes heat to the power brick, leaving the phone cool during charging (pretty ingenious). I've also read that not always charging the battery fully to 100% can prolong longevity, which is why you get charging strategies on laptops that will stop charging at 80% or 60% if you leave your laptop plugged in 24/7.
Point being, the ONLY way to slowly charge this device would be to use a third party charger and/or cable.
The reason I ask this, is that the manufacturer, OnePlus, clearly states in their documentation that comes with the phone or dash chargers to ONLY use the charger and cable that came with the phone.
Please charge the OnePlus Dash device only with the official Dash Power Adapter and Dash Type-C Cable. Using unauthorized adapter can be dangerous and may void your warranty.

I'm not completely opposed to the idea that this could just be a marketing ploy to get you to buy their own adapter and accessories, but again just want to know if there's any substantial proof that fast charging, by itself, degrades the battery faster, of if it's just a case of incorrect tribal knowledge.
Thanks.
You are correct that the rate of charge and discharge alone are not the only deciding factors on lipo life and certainly not the most decisive ones.
Excessive heat, especially on high charge levels, is the biggest factor for increased aging.
As you mentioned extreme charging levels (completely empty or full) will also contribute to faster aging, albeit the impact is not that extreme for these low current-draw Lipos used in our phones (as opposed to high-drain Lipos for instance).
Discharge and Charge at high rates will also contribute to the speed of aging, but not as much as heat.
When a lipo spends most of its time one medium charging levels at moderate temperatures and is only charged and discharged with low rates on it will have the longest service life.
This is common for all Lipos, just how much a low or high rate is for that particular battery differs (low drain, high capacity VS high drain, low capacity cell)
With Lipos everything is a compromise. Max and min voltages, max temperatures, max draw are values the manufacturer has chosen as the best compromise to reach the intended MTBF. All these numbers are not physical absolute barriers.

First of all, how many device support Super VOOC? How many device you can buy outside China with VOOC?
Super VOOC is 50W, the same like Huaweis SuperCharge 2.
Did you test SuperCharge 2 or VOOC?
My OP6T charges up to 100% in 1hr 22mins, so I don't charge overnight anymore. Go to sleep on 40% and charge in the morning
The combo of battery life and crazy fast charging is for the first time breaking me of the "plug it in overnight" habit that I have had since my first cell phone over a decade ago. I can keep my charger at my desk, plug it in for half an hour, and be at 100% with almost no chance of running out before the next morning. That means fewer vampire chargers around the house wasting power, and fewer charge cycles lost leaving the phone plugged in long after it's full. I wish I had swapped to OnePlus sooner - I think I have finally found a phone maker to call my favorite.
The charging Speed with "Dash charge" is amazing.
Within few minutes the battery is from 0% to over 50%!
Generelly I can only say: Amazing battery life. The best I ever had with a phone (except Nokia 3310).
I started to charge when the battery was 5%. It took around 1 hour 20 mins. I can say this to be quite faster when compared to the devices I have used previously, that too when the size of the battery is much bigger than the previous phones.

The incredibly fast charging, coupled with the insane battery life (especially in dark mode) has made me totally OK with no wireless charging. I used to leave my phone on the charging pad at my desk most of the day, and on my nightstand charging pad overnight. I never had to worry about charging at all and plugged in maybe 20 times max over the last two years with my Note5. I said I'd never buy a phone without wireless charging, but the $350 or so I got for my Note5 exchange for this phone was just too tempting to overlook, particularly if it set up my family for the next two to three years (our current phones didn't have band 71 and Samsung said no more security updates). The only thing I was really worried about was wireless charging and whether or not the battery life and dash charging would be enough for me to overcome range anxiety.
It has.
So I'm thinking of keeping my dash charger at home ,and my 30w aukey charger at work ,I take it this will be ok to use ?

Wrap charge

I apologize in advance if it's was already asked
So i'm wondering how it works. Does it use warp charge till it reach 100% or it goes normal like at 50 or 70%?
I noticed it's slow 90 to 100 whereas i see warp charge logo
I'm on havoc so idk if it's the same, but havoc shows the output, from what I can see its between 5-6amps until 50% and slowly tapers down from there to 1 amp between 90-100%

Never charge to 100%, it shortens the battery lifespan a lot. It's best to use it on 20-80 charge range.
After 80% the charging speed slows down like any other phone.

This is a fallacy. I charge my phone to 100% everytime and after a years time my battery still has 93-96% capacity. The damage is done if you let it discharge below 10 or 15%. Lithium ion batteries looked to be charged more frequently and when the battery is above 75%. The higher the battery percentage the more charge cycles it will have.
Thanks for the lifespan tip. Didn't know about it

I didn't understand the last part of your post, if you charge till 80% you'll use very little charge cycle. The most of the battery wear is done on the last 20% charging. Even if you store a li-ion battery at 100% it get damaged very quickly.
They like to be charged often and stay on 40-50% average charge level. If you do that the battery is going to last 3+ years.
If you charge overnight to 100% and top up every time you'll need to replace the battery in less than 1 year.

This is not the case. Charging the phone more then 20 or 25% or more results in more charge cycles. Look up BatteryUniversity.com and it will explain it to you. The damage above 80% is done if the charging per doesn't reduce and you charge to quickly from 80-100%. This is why the battery reduces charging speed after 80% down to a trickle charger from 95% to 100%. This is built into the charging tech so there is no battery damage charging your phone to 100%.
I charge my phone to 100% everyday and something twice in a day and never have battery issues or reduced battery capacity. My phone lasts as well after 1 year as from the day it's purchased.

Read carefully, it says exactly what I'm telling you.
I'll attach a screenshot of the website that you suggested, it's shows what I'm saying that if you charge to 80% instead of 100% you get three times more battery cycles of lifespan (850-1500 vs 350-500).
Also the second screenshot shows that if the battery stays at 100% it degrades much faster (only 80% capacity after one year vs 96% capacity if stored at 40%).

And if you charge routinely from 75% or higher, you can achieve up to 1200 cycles for lithium ion batteries. I'll do my way as I don't lose battery capacity after a years time. This is info from battery University. Been doing this for years (since the note 3). Again I'll say, it's not charging to 100% it's if your charge to quickly from 80% to 100% it's what's bad for the battery.

If you read what you posted it's the temperature During the charging that reduces the charge cycles. There is no heat in a OnePlus phone with Warp or Dash charging. Depth of discharge also increases cycles if you charge when the battery had more charge. For example... Charging at 25% or less gives 250-300 charge cycles, 25-50% gives 350-500 cycles, 50-75% 600-900 cycles and above 75% up to 1200 cycles. I'll continue to follow that by battery University and continue to have a battery that doesn't lose capacity

I'm not going to convince you but I don't like the pread of disinformation.
If you read the graph in the picture it show that what damages the battery is both from high temperature and high charge level. Just look at 25 degree row:
40% charge - >96% capacity after 1 year
100% charge - >80% capacity after 1 year
Things are even worse at 40 degree: 85% capacity vs 65% so 20% extra battery capacity lost.
Remember that when the battery capacity is at 80% means the battery is gone because it cannot cope with the ampere under load and the phone will shut down. This after 1 year without taking consideration of the extra damage while charging to 100%.
Now I'll copy and paste that part from the website:
Most Li-ions charge to 4.20V/cell, and every reduction in peak charge voltage of 0.10V/cell is said to double the cycle life. For example, a lithium-ion cell charged to 4.20V/cell typically delivers 300–500 cycles. If charged to only 4.10V/cell, the life can be prolonged to 600–1,000 cycles; 4.0V/cell should deliver 1,200–2,000 and 3.90V/cell should provide 2,400–4,000 cycles.
4.20v is 100% charge
4v is 70-75% charge
Be careful that's tge voltage of the cell, not the charging voltage.
I agree with you that slow charging makes less damage but still charging from 75% to 100% makes hugely more damage to the battery than charging from 20% to 80%.

I'm not going to convince you but I don't like the pread of disinformation.
If you read the graph in the picture it show that what damages the battery is both from high temperature and high charge level. Just look at 25 degree row:
40% charge - >96% capacity after 1 year
100% charge - >80% capacity after 1 year
Things are even worse at 40 degree: 85% capacity vs 65% so 20% extra battery capacity lost.

Yeah I can say the same about disinformation which is what I said to you to begin with. My op6 which I bought and had since launch still gives me 9-11 hours is screen on time today like it did on day one. That phone like all the rest of my phone is charged to 100% every day, normally from about 70% or higher remaining battery when put on charge. Using a few different apps my battery capacity still shoes 95% capacity.
Again, charging to 100% and damaging your battery is a fallacy. Charging to 80% is fine but your depth of discharge is greater putting more stress on a lithium ion battery.

That's is from lab test made from scientist, so I trust it.
Also no one tells you that you need to wait 20% to charge, you can do 40 to 60 or 30 to 50 but i can assure you that I've got a phone a xiaomi mi 5s 3 years old same battery charging 20% to 80% and is still usable, I'm using it as a second phone.
My previous phone was a galaxy note, I was charging it overnight and charging it to 100% often through the day, i replaced the battery three times in two years.
Thats my experience.

So guys what you recommend for charging pattern for best battery health ? I'm rly lost from what u said...
Me I charge my phone every night with very small charger I think it's 1amper maybe lower.
I never let it under 25-20 % and always charge it full with zero heat and takes long time to charge because of the charger.
If I wake up to go toilet and night and it's charged I removed it and that's it..

The best charging pattern is to always keep the battery near 50% and do frequent charges through the day.
Don't charge overnight, leave the battery at around 50% when you go to sleep.
At the morning, when you wake up plug in the warp charger so you can charge to 80% before going to work.
Charge over 80% only in special circumstances when you need long battery life.
Try to never go below 20%.

I recommend you to plug your phone 1h before sleep and charge it fully or do it in the morning. You may increase your battery life with all that slower charging, up to 80% etc but really? Is it worth to resign from that cool Warp charging feature just for extending your battery lifespan and you won't even know how much it will extend? And you can even exchange the battery at authorised center for about 20 bucks.
I thought the myth about leaving the phone charging overnight breaks stuff was explained away already. There's stuff that runs in the background that improves the usability of the phone and decreases battery drain.
Read this monster post for full info. Not so much looking after the battery but system optimization. Warning. It's a big read. I've been leaving my phone charging overnight for years. I still have a OP5 that's being used daily and still gets fairly impressive SOT. Other thing is, "we" tend to change our phones quite often. SO I just don't worry about it too much and use the phone the way I want to use it.

Charging speed

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Samsung Galaxy A70 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Honestly, it charges pretty quickly, it just HEAVILY slow down once u reach 80% which is good for battery, but not convenient to me.
from my testings, 0-80% in 60 minutes at OPTIMAL conditions (medium battery save, no wifi, no sync, no location, airplane mode, AOD off, brightness 1%)
i think this is absolutely perfect in every way, just wished I could simply charge it to 100% as fast for long days.
In my situation the super fast charging doesn't work somehow, or either I don't understand it. From 30-80 takes rough 2 hours. Or is it maybe because of the different country I flashed on?

Are you using the original charging cable and power adapter? From 30 to 80 should take only 40-50 minutes.
And to really fast charge, you must close the screen (AOD can work, doesn't matter)

Yes of course I use original cable and charger,
My setting is optimised and screen is off

When the screen is locked and you are charging the phone, does it say "fast charging" on the lock screen or notifications?

no it says fast charging, without super. Still, 2 hours to charge from 30 to 80 is not normal at all. Even from 0% to 100% takes only 1 hour and 30-40 minutes. If this keeps happening, I think you should take your phone to a Samsung Service and let them check what's wrong.

I will try flash stock firmware first after I will check out with service center, anyway thanks for your help.
My phone charges from 5 to 85 in 60 mins. And takes 1hr and 30 mins to 100 overall satisfied with the speed. I had an Asus Max Pro m2 and it takes 2 and a half hour from 5 to 100
My A70 charges a little faster than 1% per 1 minute of charge. But the fast charger is not much faster than a regular charger. I get about a little less than 1% per 1 minute of charge on a regular charger.
100% charge on the A70's large battery lasts a long time.
Certain programs will drain the battery though, such as wifi transfer program opened in the background, or bittorrent type programs opened in the background, so make sure to optimize or make sure the apps are closed when not in use.
Mine is charging as Rixil 1' s charging. I am very happy with that speedy charging.
