Fast mobile charging is one of those elements that has become key in recent times. An extra power that allows us not to have to spend hours and hours waiting for the mobile to be fully charged or enough to get on with the day. However, not all of us know what is the load capacity that our mobile supports and that we will be able to discover in several ways.
These methods will allow us to get the best out of the terminal and use with it a charger that complies with what the battery can offer us. There are those who are afraid of using a fast charge higher than what their smartphones support, although we are also going to answer questions about that section, what better than to discover exactly what our terminal can support in order to buy a new charger that adapts to the perfection.
Look at the mobile box
The first place where we can quickly check the fast charging capacity offered by the smartphone is in the box itself. We do not have to complicate to find it, in many cases it is an element that can be seen with the naked eye since it is highlighted on the front. If not, we will have to turn the box to see the battery and fast charging on its back or on one of the sides.
In case the charging power is not specified in the box, at least it will put the amperage and voltage, which is useful to us to identify the charging power with the following formula. We will only have to locate both data, to multiply them with each other and obtain the load power expressed in W.
For example, if we have a current of 9 volts and a voltage of 3 amps, the result would be as simple as multiplying them to find the watts that it offers us, which would be 27 W.
We will also be able to find these data on the charger itself that usually accompanies the mobile phone. For all those who find themselves with more than one voltage and amperage, the maximum capacity of your smartphone will correspond to the maximum offered by the charger.
It’s all on the spec sheet
In the physical stores or websites themselves, when we consult a smartphone, we must look at its entire technical sheet, although we can also easily have it at our fingertips just by visiting our site. In this way we will not only be able to check what its battery is, the fast charging capacity it offers, but also know how many hours of autonomy it can give and the rest of the important sections around the smartphone.
The mobile itself will tell you
An extra way to know the charging power of smartphones appears when using the charger we are using. OnePlus and other manufacturers who are following in his footsteps have encouraged to integrate the power next to the name of its fast charge in the loading screen, in this way we can know at all times the voltage that our smartphone receives for greater peace of mind for the user.
If we use the original charger, obviously we will have the highest possible speed and thus we will know this information in a simple way. We show you in two images how the Warp Charge of OnePlus appears, its own technology that offers a load on the smartphone on the right of 65 W as indicated, while in other older models such as the one on the left it does not show it. This is not usually customizable in the customization layers, so if it does not come standard, there will be no way to add it.
Discover the real charging power
As a last alternative to discover what is the fast charging capacity that our smartphone supports , we have to use the original charger or one of the highest power that we can find. Whenever possible, it is recommended that it be from the same brand or compatible with the same smartphone, in order to discover what the supported voltage is without problems. Next we turn to an app that we have to install on the mobile and called Accu Battery.
It is one of the most used apps to control battery wear, but it also offers us to see in just a few volts the charge that our mobile is receiving. Even so, this method goes to detail and we could find that if our smartphone has the capacity to receive 50 W, it does not always reach the peak and it moves around that data.
What happens if I charge the mobile with more or less power?
The question to find out what the fast charging of the mobile is usually comes after the charger has been broken, having lost it or when we try to find an alternative to have it always available, for example on the bedside table and not looking for the one we use throughout the day. This however should not be so drastic, of course it is recommended to always use the original charger, but in recent years technology has made this less important and that we can use chargers even if they do not match in voltage without being dangerous.
In the event that we sometimes use a charger with more rapid charge, our smartphone and more specifically the processor will detect that it is not something that can resist and will limit it in the best way without us having to do anything. In case of being a compatible charger, as it happens between OnePlus, Realme and OPPO as they belong to the same group, we can benefit from the best fast charge available between the mobile phone and the power adapter. On the other hand, if our mobile phone is not compatible with the charger, the lower power will be chosen to try not to damage the terminal.
The reverse situation in which we use a charger with less power than our mobile has, will not affect either of the two. We will only notice that our mobile is charging much slower than usual and than we would like. The same happens with portable batteries that do not usually offer a fast charge and therefore take much longer to fill.
