how to find a trickle charging slow charging data cables for samsung edge 7

[androidloveryes]

hi
I know people are fans of fast charging but the slower you charge the longer your battery will last ( if you also respect 20 -80pourcent)

My data cable that was doing slow charging does not offer good contact anymore so i have to replace it .

Seller brag when it is fast charging but silent when it is a slower.

My understanding is that i have to look at the Amp current.

So since the samsung edge7 uses micro usb to usb data cable. my strategy is to discover in wich speed are those cable offered and then i would do a search to buy it.

HOw TO DISCOVER THE DIFFERENT SPEED THAT EXISTE FOR THAT DATA CABLE micro usb to usb data cable? THANKS

Charging speeds will not depend on the cable (unless it's a really crappy cable with non-standard materials) but the power source you're using to connect the phone to. The power/current output is what you're looking for, but bear in mind that while the lowest current output available today is 0.5A, most modern phones will not take this 'trickle charge' and will require something a little higher.

so should i look for a extension cable limited to 1A or 1.5Amp?
cause all is pluged into the desktop usb port

As Spook said, the cable doesn't matter. Period, with the cheap cable exception that no one should be buying.

but are not there usb to usb extension that comes with limit?

 

[Mooncatt]

No, and I can't think of a reason why. USB cables are supposed to confirm to certain standards, and I've never heard of one for throttling power.

The amperage from a PC USB port is limited to just 0.5 Amps. Period.

It's why a lot of modern devices won't charge from a PC connection anymore, or take a very long time. Not enough power.

This may be changing. It looks like there are motherboards out now that provide USB power delivery, and I know of a PC case recently released with a wireless charging pad built in. A standard computer port is still 0.5A, but there are other options now for those that need it.

Ya I have 3 , 3.1 x A ports on my computer suppling 5+ watts. Not to mention the type c ports.

As most have said the cable won't limit your charging but if you get a SUPER long cable or a very bad quality one, yes, signals get degraded due to losses in the transmission (which is why some data devices won't function properly with overly-long cables). Cheaply made cables may lose more due to heat (although at this power level it shouldn't be too much of a problem) and that can lead to fire risk.

Think about it as if you had a faucet (your power port) and a hose (your cable). If the water pressure in the faucet is but a trickle, it doesn't matter how big the hose is, water just won't flow. If the faucet has a strong stream, however, a hose that's too small (in this case, a cheaper cable or one that's not rated for such transfers) will somewhat limit the water flow, but if the difference is too big, that pressure has to go somewhere or either the hose or the faucet will eventually burst.

I've skimmed through the replies and haven't seen this, apologies if I'm repeating but have you tried switching off the fast charge function on your phone?
That will then limit the device to charging at a maximum of 5v/2.1A.

Cheers,

that is something to try, but where to find that option? are you sure it is visible on samsung edge 7?

According to the Samsung site, fast charge enable/disable is available on the S7.

Here are the directions from Samsung.

Go into Settings > Battery and device care > Battery > More battery settings > Toggle on Fast charging.

Hope this does what you need.

Cheers.

i found the option but it was already turned off...

Ok, no sweat.
If that's been switched off already, you can be certain your phone isn't going to charge beyond 2.1A on any charger.

The only other method to limit charge speed further, that's available to you then, would be to use low-current 5v adaptors.

Older Samsung devices were supplied with 5v/1A adaptors and regular USB 2.0 ports on a laptop, etc should max out at 500mA.

Edit: I use Accubattery to see the charging current in real-time, helping me to easily compare the differences between different adaptors and cables, etc.
