2.4A Charger??

[aymat]

Hello xda,
I've recently bought a 2.4A 5V charger for my tablet. I don't know the current ratings for this tablet. So is it safe to use the 2.4A output of the charger? It has the original battery on it.

I use one regularly.

I use one all the time as otherwise it takes 'forever' to charge my P605. It still takes quite awhile but probably two times faster than a 1A charger. I think the Note limits the input voltage to some extent.

Thank you for your reply. I've measured the currents while charging my tablet. When I use 2.4A output it is drawing around 300mA current which is nonsense. I think there is a compatibility problem with the adapter and the tablet. However when I use the 1A output it directly draws a stable 1A current. Now I am using this output to charge my phone and my phone's adapter to charge my tablet, which gives 1.3A. My phone is note 2.

So my problem is solved. Again thank you for replying

I'm using a RaVpower iSmart which has a 5V/2.4A and a 5V/3.0A port. the 3A port is very slow to charge but the iSmart 2.4A charges faster. I guess it may be the charger type, sensing/negotiating the maximum battery charge rate correctly could be the difference. Wish I had a way to test that theory.
