I read it charges the phone at half the speed of a wired charger. For example, instead of 2 hours for a full charge, it takes 4. Is that true or is it about the same?

I have had my charger for two months now. I keep it at my bed side and fall asleep so I really don't know how long it would take, depending on level of charge. All I can tell you is it is convenient not to have to plug wires in and out.

It's the fastest charger I have ever seen, it even works for my husband's Note 3:)

It does charge more slowly than a standard wired charger. I have not tested to see to what degree but I find the convenience of simply laying the phone on the pad instead of wearing out cables to be an excellent trade-off.

I've had the cradle charger for about 2 months now and I love it. It charges much quicker but not sure by how much.

yes it does.....not your first choice for a fast charge....this is your casual, watch tv and hang while you charge the phone...no emergency charge....or at night when you sleep. wors great. All power sources charge at different speeds....this is just one more.....but a nice one.

Its partially true. Mine takes around a little under 3 hours. For me that's ok since I have mine set aside the bed. At night I just drop it on the charger and I know I got it right when the green light comes on. Before I struggled trying to plug it in, especially when I was lying down and the light was off...lol

I normally just allow my phone to get to 2% prior to charging it. I tried at 30% before and the phone seemed to die fast than before. It takes my phone a couple days to reduce to 2%. If it is at 20% I will play games for about an hour so I can throw it on the charger for the night. It does take a few hours to get a good charge on it.

No. It does not charge all that quickly. Definitely not faster than a wall charger.

Since charging is controlled by the phone's hardware more than the battery itself, it should not take longer than usual. This is an OEM battery, so it should charge normally.I have found that this phone charges quickly, both with the original and the OEM battery. It also depends on if you use the phone while it is charging and the settings set on your phone. The fewer programs running and the fewer connection options enabled, the less energy consumed. Also screen brightness is a big issue with this phone. The screen brightness will eat the battery charge since this display is awesome.I hope this helps!~Richard Since charging is controlled by the phone's hardware more than the battery itself, it should not take longer than usual.

I have had mine for 6 months and it still charges my phone. It probably gives you about from 0% to like 50% or 60% maybe more. I have never had to charge it that much

Mine charges just as fast as the one that came with my phone. It works great!

I arrives fully charged and charges fast. I have not tested but directions say it fully charges in 12 hr. One thing is certain, it charges my Samsung Note 4 fully in 30-45 min. It can be charged w USB quickly.

Beth, I use mine at work and is connected to my phone for 8 hours. It has charged fully each time I use it. I've not noticed how long it takes as I keep it connected. Hope this helps

It does take 3 or 4 hrs to charge. Unused it keeps a charge for several days. In use it will fully recharge your phone

Not sure. It was a gift to my grandson, but I've heard no complaints about charging time.My experience in general is that charging thru USB is much slower than conventional AC charging.Doesn't the instruction sheet tell how long it should take to charge?

It is a little bigger than an android phone, and will charge only one phone at a time. I noticed that it does not charge as fast as the plug but, I have nothing but good things to say about mine.

Well the other day my phone (S4) was dead. I put it for charging and drove for about 30 mins from my work to home. By the time I reached home it was about 50-60% charged. I drive an infinity, which has a 12V charging plug. At that rate, am guessing an 45 mins to an hour.

I have a Galaxy Note 2 & the speed of charging is the same as original charging. The difference is the cord is thicker than the original charger which means I think will hold up longer to wear & tear.

It doesn't take long to charge the device. It will only fully charge your phone once or twice I'd recommend investing in a better one if your looking to use it a lot.

It charges my Samsung Galaxy S4 almost 3 times when fully charged. Hope that helps.

charge time is same as if you plug in might be faster depending on device, I fully charges my galaxy note 3 in less than an hour and that was with the Maxboost at charged at 48%
