Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 T813, is the charging time worth it?

[AC Question]

Thinking about getting a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 SM T813,but I'm concerned about the charging time. Does it really take a long time to charge the tablet? Should I spend my money (possibly more $$$) on something that charges fast?er?

Depends entirety on your lifestyle. If you sleep at night, it can charge while you sleep... Personally that wouldn't be the first criteria to buy or not to buy for me..

My S2 9.7 SM-T810 (which I really like), takes about one and a half hours more or less to charge if/when I let it get down around 20% or so (which I hardly ever do). "The Tech Guy", Leo Laporte says that modern tablets and phones can stay plugged in whenever you're not using them without harming them at all unlike the older devices of several years ago.

Yes, there is a lot of sophisticated circuitry to protect the device from over voltage over charging and such. I leave mine plugged in overnight and it hasn't bothered it so far. I have fast charging off, since I'm not in a hurry...

I run mine down to under 10% on a regular basis and it's only taken a couple of hours to fully charge.
