In-Box Charger Limitations

Hi,

So I've been using the Moto G for over a year now, and the attery is starting to give less and less usage per charge. Naturally, this demands faster charging speeds. I've read online that the Moto G3's in-box charger is very slow (now, no plug came with my Moto G3, just a USB cable). I've always used the plug from the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 (my previous phone), which is very good, but I'm wondering if my in-box cable is slowing down the charge coming to my phone, as the phone can take up to 2A from my power bank, but I believe only 1A from the cable.
Is this the problem?

Thanks.

I'd say the lead, if not faulty, makes no difference to the charge rate. But it's easy enough to use another and compare charge times.
If your G is still working fine in all aspects you may think of buying a new battery. If you do, make sure it's genuine OEM, there's tons of cheap crap that you should steer clear of.

I use different usb cables in different rooms to charge my Moto G 2015 Osprey and best charging speed is with the usb cable that came with mobile.. You need to try a different charger plug . also make sure cablke is not bent or broken or demaged.
If Battery is starting to give less and less usage per charge then it is not a charger issue it is a bettery issue. You need to calliberate your battery. Let battery go down to 1% and then fully charge without any interuption . This make improve it slightly .
