will this cable charge a Galaxy S5 using a charger with 2.1A output. The coiled charging cable doesn't work with that setup

Because this cable is a charge-only cable (no data lines) it will provide the maximum charging current...how much that is depends on what the charger (plug) provides and what your phone will accept. On my Nokia 928 this charges MUCH (3x) faster than a data cable in the same setup of charger plug and phone. Also the cable is very well made, sturdy and latches positively into the phone micro USB slot.

If it fits it will charge it and charge it super fast. Try a regular micro usb charger on your Galaxy S5 to make sure it works and then order this charger. You won't be disappointed. This is a very well made charger. Fits perfectly and doesn't slip off.

No. It charges my GS5 only. But you can use the additional USB slot with a iPhone 4/5 cable.

From CNet review "What is a little different is the USB housing on the bottom of the phone. Like the Galaxy Note 3, the S5 now features the elongated USB 3.0 port, which is backward-compatible with standard micro-USB cables. In other words, you can still charge the phone with legacy USB cables, but it'll really juice up quickly with the compound USB 3.0 cable Samsung supplies."

I use this charger with my Samsung S5, this plug doesn't come with wires attached so you just connect your own usb wire to it.

The two output ports are USB and USB2. As long as your charging cable from the S5 has a USB plug it can plug into the IOGEAR battery pack. Be advised that depending on the battery charge when you get the IOGEAR, it could take 12 or more hours to fully charge. I just plugged mine in early evening and let it charge overnight. It holds a charge well and has worked very well with my iPhone and my wife's iPad.

As long as the Galaxy S5 uses a Micro USB port for charging. Be aware that the cap that the micro USB plug is connected to is very big and it makes it difficult to charge devices have thicker cases. I can't use it on my phone due to the heavy duty case, but we can on my wife's phone that has a thinner case.

The Galaxy S5 is compatible with both the micro USB and the USB 3.0 chargers, this will fit the right side of the charging port.

As others have stated you can't exceed 2.2 to 2.4 on a given port, but that wouldn't matter, because it isn't the charger that decides the amps to charge at it is the device. The only thing the cable and chargers do is supply enough amps and low power loss. An average device won't pull above 2 amps regardless of the output of the charger. The S4 pulls 1.8amps at its full draw and its oem cable and charger are rated for 2.1 if i remember correctly.

It comes with a 1000mA dc output micro USB charger cord. But I used my own 12vdc car charger and plugged it into the micro USB socket on the back of the Encased mount. There is a short micro USB plug from the Encased mount that you then have to plug into the bottom of the Galaxy S5 phone.

Karla has the correct answer. Your S5 supports the new micro USB 3.0 standard. However that standard was designed in such a way that you can still plug in the older standard micro USB 2.0. (however you cannot do the reverse, that is if you have an older phone that uses a micro-USB 2.0 port, you cannot plug a micro-USB 3.0 wire). The benefits of using a USB 3.0 plug are faster charging and faster data transfers.As for the name, they're both "micro B", just this one uses USB 2.0 so it's called "USB 2.0 micro-b" and the new one uses USB 3.0 so it's called "USB 3.0 micro-b."

If your Galaxy S5 has a USB cord it will work. Anything you can plug into a USB, you can plug into this handy little charger. And it holds a charge for a long time even when you don't use it which I have never seen with any electronic item.

it does work with the Samsung s5. I use it with a Motorola 5.2 or 5.3 volt. charger with usb. if you don't use a charger with at least this voltage it will not charge as fast. if you look on your original charger in the side it show you the voltage.

Well, It charges via MicroUSB, so it's implied that the charging cable coming with it works for the S6, and any device using MicroUSB. It's a Universal Serial Bus for a reason.

I don't know the number of coils but I did find that a Galaxy s5 with the Samsung charger back would only charge if sitting in the stand horizontally, not vertically. (a deal breaker for me)

Dunno. I have the S3. I got it as a back up for work, and the cable didn't work at all. Though the plug in part did, with our other cables.

There are several types of wall chargers, the ones that will work the best will be the ones with higher amp output. I believe the instructions tell you the time that it will take to charge through a usb on the pc, with a lower amp output and a higher one. If I remember correctly, the higher output ones are 2 amps? and I believe they can be as low as .3 amps? I recently ordered an anker car cigarrete lighter charger to micro to usb, with an additional usb port to connect a second cable to charge whatever else. It charges my Galaxy S4 much, much quicker than the older chargers. Look at the amp specifications and get a new one, if you only have old ones (ac or dc).

SCOSCHE indicates this charger will work for the Galaxy S3 and S4 but will NOT work for the S5. I'm guessing the power requirements for the S5 are higher than this charger was designed for. I would give the highly rated Anker® 24W Dual-Port Rapid USB Car Charger a try. It's rated to work for the Galaxy S5 and is on sale right now for $9.99 at 50% off. That's a great deal! SCOSCHE I hear has a good return policy, I'd give that a try as well.
