Four hours is twice as long as 2 hours with the correct charger. Here is a secret many don’t know: Smartphones don’t necessarily charge at maximum, especially if they’re charged by a charger not made for their phone.<\/p>\n
Smartphones often have a sensing circuit that checks to see if the plug’s two data pins are connected a certain way, such as two resistors to + and -. If so it tells the phone that it’s the correct charger and it will accept full current, 1.5 amps or more.<\/p>\n
But if these pins are open or the wrong resistance, then it charges at a half amp, because the original USB port is only specified for 0.5 amp. So it won’t blow out the USB port on your MoBo.<\/p>\n
Does your homemade charger have this?? 😱 😈<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
