can you get a different charger to speed it up?

Each battery has a set amount of voltage that it can soak in every second. This one being 4.7V I believe. Getting a better one wouldn't matter unless that charger is below 4.7v (the stock battery charger puts out 4.8v)

I use the stock charger that came with my GS3 but you can actually use a tablet charger to get it charged even faster. they charge faster because of the increased amperage required by tablets. Also turn it off to charge and run it all the way done to zero the first two or three times you use it. This will "stretch" the battery life out and help it to hold charges longer. Enjoy

I would never buy this battery again. Les than a month after my purchase this battery almost burned down my house. I posted pictures but Amazon is hiding them. The seller never even refunded my money. My galaxy S3 got burned by this battery - I lost $600 phone and had to replace the fire resistant Pergo flooring in my bedroom - another $1000.00. I got no refund and no sympathy from Amazon nor from the seller. The good thing is - we survived.RUN. RUN AWAY from this CHEAP AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS product.

I doubt it. When I bought mine I noticed that there seemed to be a different charger for each device.

If you are in a hurry you can change the default slow 200mah charge rate to 500 or 700mah and the batteries will charge much faster. However I rarely do this as the charger does not over charge so no rush to take them out. I keep extra batteries in a container next to the charger and just cycle them when i happen to think of it.

Just compare the amp output on both if one is higher it should charge faster. But I do believe they are the same.

No. I purchased a new battery and was unhappy to learn that I had to purchase a new charger due to a very slight change in design.

you can buy other batteries....and I would assume you can get a new charger....I would complain to the place you purchased it....mine is probably 4 years old....I have two batteries, so I constantly swap the batteries in the charger...

Excuse me I purchased another portable charger and thought you were inquiring about that one. The other one I purchased is the one that comes with different adaptors. I think you would like the other one better than the one you're inquiring about. I will get back with you on the other one I purchased.

As far as I know the only charger that will work is the one that came with the case. If that one doesn't work contact the seller for a replacement.

You should be able to get another USB charger at Walmart or Radio Shack and even on Amazon.com

Judy, I do not know what the previous chargers are like. I suggest you look up the battery and compare it to the current battery charger you have now.

Yes, but there is a specific charger that goes with it, and they are not interchangeable.

It should be similar to your charger. If you use a two amp port it might be quicker if the device allows it. I have never timed it versus my charger.

They each have a different charging rate. The NEW charger will charge within a matter of hrs. The other doesn't.

You might check at an electronic store. The charger looks like it might be a sort of common item.

You can use the charger, but you're not likely to get any accelerated charging as this adapter does not advertise any fast charge mode. That said this adapter may be faster than the charger built into the camera, but I have not compared them. I don't like to use the one in the camera.

You will need to use your original charger. Mine didn't come with a new one.
