I posted this in Perseus thread too, but unfortunately i didn't receive any answers.

Guys, my gf will be getting a 2.1A + 1.0A dual usb charger because her old one died, what is the safe limit for the charging control so i don't fry her S3?
Will it be ok around 1400mah?
Thanks.

I suggest you stick with stock value which is 1000 mA over wall charger and 475 mA over USB.

In theory, yes, the i9300 can take with maximum up to 2100 mA but I'm sure nobody will recommend it.

So you think going above 1000mah could be dangerous to the device?
The charger supports 2.1A, or atleast that's what it says. :p
(When i had an S3 too, i set usb input charge to 850mah because i had usb 3.0 on my pc and it was charging just fine!Don't know if it matters or not though.)

I know, the chargers for tablets such as iPad has output capacity of 2100 mA.

And I think, stock value set to 1000 mA is for good reason like archive minimum charge time and less dangerous to the device and battery.

One thing I sure is that, if you charge with 2.1 A, your battery will probably heat up like hell, and that high temperature is NOT GOOD for Li-ion battery as we have for i9300.

For myself, I always set it down to 800 mA for over night charging (I guess you won't set up a alarm in the middle of night to wake you up to unplug the charger, will ya? ). And I do use 2.1 A charging, in case of EMERGENCY like I have to go out for long time and my battery is low so I have to make the battery charged as much as I possibly could. But still, it is NOT recommended.
