Really any USB charger will work. Just the higher amp will charge the phone faster up to the limit of the phone power intake structure. I personally use an apple iPad charger for my moto g gen 1.

    As you said, any charger where the output is not too high (I recommend below 2a or below 2,5 to not stress the battery.

    Conclusion: your samsung charger should work perfectly!

    Edit: if you experience bad/not so good battery life (I did after update to kitkat), let your phone drain completely (shuts down) and recharge it to 100% and leave plugged in like 30-1h after it reached 100%.
    But don't do this too often as it will harm your battery over time.

    Using a charger over 2A doesn't stress the battery because the Moto G limits the current to 1.5A.

    It says so right here : https://motorola-global-portal.cus...prod_answer_detail/a_id/97318/p/30,6720,9050

    ”Any Motorola charger with the correct micro-USB tip will charge your Moto*G. You will see the best results when the output of the charger is between 500 mA and 1.5 A. The higher the output, the faster your Moto G*will charge.
    If your charger output is higher, the MOTO G will automatically restrict the charging rate. If your charger is lower, it will simply take longer to reach a full charge.”

    I use my nexus 7 2A charger daily and it charges noticeably faster than my 1A HTC charger and is as Motorola stated, perfectly safe.

    A 0.7A charger would charge pretty slow!

    charger doesn't push power, phone draws power, as long as you have the right voltage you are good

    I'm curious, is your 2A charger for a 2012 Nexus 7? Because I also plan to use my 2012 Nexus 7 charger on my Moto G, which is coming next week. How quickly does it charge the Moto G?

    Yeah my nexus 7 is a 2012 model also, works just fine and charges really fast. I'll stopwatch my next recharge and report.

    Edit: It charges from 10% to 100% in 2 hours with my nexus 7 2012 2A charger while incidentally using it.

    Next charge I'll try my HTC 1A charger to monitor the difference

    Good day!
    I have bought Moto G recently. I cannot buy an original charger for Moto here in Kyrgyzstan. So can it be charged with charger from Sony Z Ultra (output:5v and 1500 mAh).
    Thanks in advance

    Yes it can..
    I use 2A charger to my moto g
