Can I charge the original S4 battery with the supplied Anker charger?

Yes you can and its pretty accurate. When the light shows it charger and you put it in your phone the phone shows 98% to 100 % charged

I charge mine in the charger most of the time. Charging a battery in the phone genarates heat

now it is not. they are larger batteries than the charger. S3 and S4 batteries are designed differently, sorry. tried this already!

Yes you can. It takes a bit longer to get to a full charge, but that's because the Anker battery has more capacity.

I have a S4 and it does charge the it but the most that it will charge is 50% total waste of money don't bother .

If you have the qi back then yes. The s4 will not have it straight out of the box but I'm sure you can find the back on Amazon.

That is an interesting proposal of using a charged battery in the charger to try to charge another device using the attached USB port. I have never tried it. Reviewing the manual, it only talks about using the USB port as a power source from computer to charge the battery in the charger but not the other way round. Do not know the answer. You may call Anker yourself. 1 800 988 7973

I don't own a S4 phone so I don't know if the cable is interchangeable. The adapter, itself, is a std charger. The connector is a std USB connector. I use the adapter to charge my wife's Samsung and my kindle, using their respective cables of course.Actually, all one needs is buy a std car charger with a USB connection. The USB cable that came with the device can be used to plug into the adapter. One can buy one much cheaper.

I do not know the answer. I know that the Anker batteries and charger I bought are versatile enough to charge any removable battery I have seen.

Yes it charges the S4 just as well as the S3. I've tested both for over 2 months now and haven't had any issues. Hope this helps!

I can not answer that because my original charger that came with my GLx S5 quit working the 3rd day I had it. I have been trying to replace it since.

Charges via USB or using a conpatible phone charger with USB port. Before loading any device, you first read the instructions for loading it, there a few amperes specified to load. I do not recommend the product, I do not charge more than 50% of my battery Samsug galaxy s4. Having a 2200 mha battery not understand how this power of 20000mha bank is not able to load

Yes. I alternate using the original battery and the Anker ones, every week or two. And always charge the reserve batteries using the Anker charger. They both take several hours to get a full charge, but then stay at 100% for a long time, more than a week for sure.It's nice to have a back up battery always with me!

I don't know the Galaxy S4 but- - - if it has the mini USB like most other android phone and tablets hIave you should be good. I the power supply with the S4 is less than 2.1 A (amps) then you should be good. (look at the fine print on the factory charger.)

Cathy, I'm sorry it didn't charge your S4. I did work fine on my S4, for a while. Then, the plastic opening that holds the cord wore out and it wouldn't hold the cord in the housing where you plug it in to the phone. All in all, it only lasted me about 6 months, but it did function well when the cord fit well. I hope this helps.

I dont think so, the battery for the s3 is smaller and the battery for the s4 fit perfectly in the charger

Pop the battery out, there will be a battery part number that you can match to the list of compatible batteries this Anker unit can replace. Hope this helps!
