Has anyone actually verified the amperage of this charger? Is it putting out 2 amps?

the lateral scripture of the cube says 2 amps, but i have not verified with some electrical instrument.

I did not verify either. In fact, we purchased the charger and it was defective so we had a replacement sent out and it also was defective. This was not built by Samsung but was an imitation and not of the same quality.

Total the charger is 4.2 amps, which is 2.1 each USB port. I chose this particular charger because it came highly recommended when I did a search for most powerful car charger

Yes to both questions. I bought a higher amperage battery to use as my primary power source. The charger works well, even when I took it overseas.

guess I didnt think before buying this-- 12v with an2.4 amp out put 28.8watts -- the package saids dual 12w in a circuit either voltage is half or the amperage depends on serial or parallel -in parallel if voltage stays the same the amp draw would be spit. this is confusing-but it advertises 12w per port--- 12 divided by 2.4 =5v- gues I have to get the meter out- kirk saids 24w and 4.8a total-- nowhere is it printed- can check by meter

Yes at least everything I've ever tried. I have a cell charger that only puts out 1 amp and I've used it to charge Kindles, Nooks etc.. I would not try to power the unit with it.

I don't know for sure. It's not indicated on the unit. I have used it to charge relatively low power devices (about 2 Amps total) with no problem.

You are not likely to have a 2,400W charger (20A*120V), so you likely have a charger that has a total of 20A (12V*20A=240W, ~2A@120V) or a charger that has three 20A outputs (12V*20A*3=720W, ~6A@120V). So, either way you should be fine with this as it is rated to 15A. If you need more reassurance, check the rated input current on the charger itself.

The output voltage on the charger I have is 2.8 amps DC (nom 2.8 A---) whatever that means. I have a 12 volt battery and so far it's working fine for me. It is a 1 hour battery charger. Hope this helps, Duane

The charger that I received works for Galaxy and other non-Apple devices. The instruction sheet shipped with it implies that it is an Apple product, and as you point out, the title is also incorrect. The seller has stated that the instruction sheet would be corrected, but it looks like the title is still wrong. Anyway, the charger that I actually received is a valid 1.9 amp USB standard charger for all non-Apple devices. If you use it on an Apple device you will only get 500mA (half amp) from it. This is because Apple is different from the rest of the world in how it detects the capacity of a charger.

Mine is 28/28 gauge and charges very slowly with 2.4 amp charger, several recent reviewers have said the same. I wonder if older hardware revisions used thicker diameter power wires, as several older reviews extol the low guage/fast charge that they experienced. This is not the ones I recently rec'd

Well, all I can say is that I use it with an Anker battery pack, which says 1.5A input current.As far as I know these new chargers, which output via a USB connector, establish sort of connection with a device being charged. And the device itself will only take whatever it is capable of.So it's not like the charger will shove those 2Amps down the device's USB connector.Your device is supposed to support whatever current is listed on the device. Otherwise it will just use as much as it is capable of.That's what I've been told.Hope this helps.

It's a 2 amp charger. I use it for my iPad. I would say that it will charge a tablet or large phone no problem

I see the home charger ports clearly marked 1A and 2.1 A, but the car charger ports are not marked. I will try to test the amperage on each port soon and do another follow up review.

Hello Judit, sadly the converter does not show A (ampere) rating. But here are 2 things that will help you:1) If you are using the converter for a device like a battery charger or cell phone charger, you can simply make sure that the converter has the same or greater wattage rating than the charger.2) If you are using the converter with a device with moving parts such as a hair dryer or tape recorder with many moving parts, the converter must be able to deliver 20 to 30 watts greater power than the device.Good Luck!Leonard

Amperage was not the same what was indicated on item. we had sheer loss because of this charger was sold by inaccuracy features. lost more that 1000 USD. very unsatisfied

It is advertised as 2.5 AMPS, but the data plate on the tool lists it as 2 amps.

This charger will work but... it does not charge as fast because it's only 1 amp, the oem charger is 2 amps which charges in HALF the amount of time! Thanz
