Nexus 5 mcs-04er charger from aliexpress - genuine or not ?

[dr_Fell_xda]

Hello.

I bought an used Nexus 5 recently, but it has extremely long charging time (5 hours) with included charger (LG MCS-02ED with 850mA power output). The charger seem to be dying, since it gives c.a. half of the output of my second Motorola 850mA charger, that charges the phone in c.a. 2,5 hour. I also guess that MCS-02ED is not the charger that is originally shipped with Nexus 5, right?

So I am looking for a replacement and I found the mcs-04er on aliexpress for US $6.80 (can't post link as a new user, but there are only two auctions there and only one with that price, from edre international trade co . , ltd ).

Any chances that it is really genuine and won't fry my phone? I prefer to buy LG branded charger, in case of warranty repair.

Regards
Michael

Ask yourself... is anything from china genuine?

Why don't you buy any of the those genuine micro usb chargers. You can try searching for Blackberry Folding Blade charger as well. Go for it in case you're able to find one.

Hey !

Thanks for answers.

peachpuff, I generally agree, although considering that genuine chargers are sold with similar prices in USA I hoped that this charger could be genuine for almost 7 USD. I am from Poland (didn't mention it, sorry), so shipping cost from from USA are too high (for a charger), that's why I was searching aliexpress (low or no postage cost).

I am looking for LG chargers, because in case of warranty repair I am affraid, I will have problem, if I don't return phone with original LG charger.

Lg g4 1.8a charger (mcs-04ed) teardown

I want make new thread but I was not able because my posts is less than ten
my charger cable is not good (OEM) and my phone(G4) charge with this slowly and i found a shot length power bank cable that can charge my phone from0-100% only in 98 min(01:38).
after 30 min the charger and cable ( usb A side) heat and after several time it made a bad smell(overheated PCB smell) and I decide to open charger.
the problem was from output schottky diode and it was warmed and burnt pcb(fiber glass)
but the charger had not any problem so I add some flux and re solder this part and I wash PCB with acetone
but unfortunately when I assembled charger for test it was a little wet and it exploded .
two sr4,sr5 resistor and fusible resistor and mosfet are damaged

and also i cant attach image

Mob came with charger made in china by dogee or dongdee not sure about model, my suggestion don't go for lg chargers they are mostly cheap copies rather you should buy form some quality brand like remax which offers great quality in comparatively less price

I bought this one a couple of weeks ago, it charges at 1700mAh easily (net). It's able to charge up to 3 iPads at full speed (I've tested 1 iPad, my nexus and a samsung, it worked).
