I see you have an RX 480 there on your desk :3
what timestamp?
me 2
It was in the thumbnail bud :)
nice catch :D
where's my gratification?
I think everyone should know the basics of electricity for inputs and outputs as it can be really useful.
I agree!
just waiting for your review on rx 480
Same
that 480 shot in the thumbnail , how dare you tease me like that
Can't wait for the rx 480 video, been waiting for over a month
God suspense is killing me!
he already got it, look at the thumbnail
hype
well keep waiting. the NDA is up on the 29th. Spoiler, its about a 980, and the 1060 will be the same for the same price
***** yea but shitvidia and gimpworks
note that some batteries have limitation on what amperage can be used on them.
i bricked one of my old smartphone's battery because i charged it with my tablet's charger, which is 2A. it was just too high for the battery to handle, so in 2 days it swallowed and the phone started dying in only 30m-1h without any use.
So if your phone is a bit older, it may not be a good idea to use more powerful charger.
Peter Drop yeah, the phone i talk about was 2011 or something. the charger was 0.7A. so appropriate charging would have been 0.5-1.2/1.3 the most i think.
the phone i currently use is moto G, the first one. i read it is not advisable to charge it with more than 1.5 (i think)
newer phones has more advanced batteries, so it is not problem to charge them with even stronger chargers. but... still if you charge a normal phone with a 6-7A... i believe you will have a bad time :)
Wait... People don't know this?
I know... sometimes people are not very bright...
note:u didnt include the size of the battery in the phone:D
Thank you! Someone finally explained this simply and clearly, I feel like everyone should watch this at one point
Just switched from non-smart phone to galaxy s4, I found this video very helpful as smartphones seem to empty their batteries in two days even when just idling, non-smart phone was good for 2 weeks without a recharge.
I learn more here than in school....
That's my goal! ;-)
Science Studio ;D
Do not be fool by a saleman on his knowledge of science. Only learn about his skill on marketing.
Nice lesson :)
Thanks for watching!
+Science Studio When I tried to charge a Nexus 6 on a standard USB 2.0 port, I had similar results to your Moto, and found it equally hilarious!
Sneaky teasing the 480. I see what you did there... 😉
Kudos for this video. It's something everyone with a phone needs to know, which these days is EVERYBODY. Sadly I had to learn this on my own, but it's very helpful. It's a pain in the ass to find a USB 3 type c charging bank for my nexus 5x.
Dang I like this! You should do more tech vids like this other than computers :)
Thanks for the feedback!
Science Studio NO prob, you're awesome dude!
ye
I have a Sony charging station due to being a household with 2 Xperia Z3, one compact. The charging using the charging station is quicker and is cooler for the battery than charging via the USB connector. I have not fully tested this, but it's less than 90 mins in most counts. The battery not getting heated is also nice.
i tell my friends this all the time, thankyou for making an excellent video about this
Thanks now i have to check all my chargers, and every charger i see i have to look on the bottom... Great video lol
Its all good on phones. However, you should of mentioned that in other devices, like a music console, the different in voltage and resistance can be the difference between frying the console... its always good to check the original power supply unit specifications if you trying to buy a different one to make sure it is the right voltage and the right resistance.
Great video!
This is about phones, not consoles, etc.
Another thing I've seen happen with lower end chargers is they can be hazardous and possibly catch fire due to the charger not knowing when to stop pushing out a current
Isn't it also important to note the effect a higher amperage charger might have on your device in the long run - for say, when it your charger has an amperage 3x the one that was on your im original charger. What effect, especially adversarial ones, can it have on the longevity of the device?
I said "dentrite" in the video. Check that out.
+Science Studio I am already at my laptop, so I will let you know what I'll find! :P
+Science Studio okay, preliminary google searches only yield dental insurance plans xD Are you sure it's spelled 'dentrite'??
Apologies: "dendrite." Woops.
Not sure what that has to do with the question. But I was wondering the same thing. Because I was taught to always make sure before using an adapter that the volts and amps match what the device is rated for. I was told that if the amps are too high above what a device is rated for that it could break the device.
I love the counterfeit iPhone charger at 1:16 on the right side. Does anyone notice at the top it says "Designed by California" instead of "Designed by Apple in California?"
This felt common sense to me, but it may be useful to others.
Very easy to follow, nice and concise.
Hey Greg, great video as always. I noticed a small typo in your graphs around 4:57. You have the 0.85A Power Brick listed as (5V/1A) for that chart, as opposed to the (5V/0.85A) like you had for the earlier charts. Not trying to be mean about it, just letting you know. Keep the awesome content coming!
Thanks for pointing that out. Guess I got a little too happy with the copy/paste function. Great attention to detail!
Great Video! Thanks for being so awesome!
great video explaining the different chargers.
This is a very intriguing video and I definitely learned something. Keep up the great work!
i'm happy that your growing and getting some important sponsorization from various compan, keep pushing Greg!
i won't tell you what to do, you know what to do... make other video in future about charghers, this argument requires many more details to be scintifically explaind, is this Science Studio or not?
I have the Moto X Pure and I just love how fast it charges.
I have watched soo many of your videos and i love your content a lot. I wish there was a way to support your without having to turn adblock off but i'd forget and get annoyed. Keep doing amazing videos mate and have a good day
The numbers were changing on the X-axis, you should keep it the same when doing tests like these so we can be able to get a good relative idea of performance.
The last three graphs do that for you, so there's no need to keep the X-axis consistent.
Great video! Thanks for the information and appreciate the effort, probably took a long time to test
I use a 1 amp charge for my old nexus 5 and a 2.1 amp charge for my HTC One M9. If i charge the M9 on anything lower it tells me that its not an optimal charge and will take probably 10 hours over about 3 hours on the 2.1 amp charge.
great info, maybe do a wireless charging in the future like my gs7
Very great topic to talk about,also,,can we see the rendering time between the RX 480 and the GTX 980Ti?
Personally, my Moto G3 does a full charge in 2 hours while it's being used. While it doesn't have quick charging, it does do 5V @1.15A.
Why is my official iPad charger rated at 2.4A much slower than Samsung charger rated at 1.55A?
It's not the charger that is slow, it's the size of the battery in the iPad that takes longer to be fully charged. iPads are tablets, have larger batteries, hence the longer charging time.
+MrKodanNche I am not comparing apples and oranges here, Apple charger charges all devices slower than less powerfull Samsung charger.
Apple chargers do not have the required pins inside that allow android devices to charge at wall A/C rates. Your Samsung device will charge at 5v 0.5a if you use an apple charger.
electrical power is pulled not pushed. so if youre phone's max input is 2 amps you won't charge faster because youre phone only needs 2 amps. Sry for my english :3
I just plug my phone directly into the 120V socket without a charger for the fastest charging.
* Sips coffee * Seems legit.
IN AUSTRALIA M8, WE GO OUT TO THE CREEK WHERE THE POWER COMES FROM M8. GOTTA BE CAREFUL THOUGH. CROC MIGHT GET YA "CRIKEY"
It's all good m8, i'll just wrestle those crocs.
Yeah that's how we normally do it
keeps us fit
all my 2 amp bricks have dissappeared ( sisters ugh) im stuck with those old 1amp apple chargers and your times seem to match my real world results. That aukey would save my butt! thanks for this video
And no words lost regarding the fact, that the battery will warm up more the faster you charge it, which can cause damage in the long run.
Yeah thats true, so its best to charge phone at night and use 5V/500mA power supply, or stock power supply with extended 5m cable so voltage will drop and phone will charge at lower currents.
Good Video style...Keep up the interesting stuff.I'm not sure if you have this video but can you do a video on what CPUs may bottleneck modern GPUS ?
Might be worth mentioning that not everybody should go an buy a 3Amp/Quick charge 3.0 charger because if your phone does not support charging at 3Amp there is no point buying a 3amp charger, it would just be redundant.
I said this in the video... not all phones support Q-charging thanks to their lack of a high-end Qualcomm processor.
Actually knew this since iphone changed the charger brick from the first gen to the 3g
Just a note, many mainboard manufactures have software in the UEFI BIOS or installable in Windows that can ramp up power delivery to mobile devices. Also, probably important to state that not all phones will accept higher power deliveries opting to protect the devices, as well.
Almost all modern smartphones will accept them. As for USB, it depends on the generation. I said in the video that 2.0 will send 5V/0.5A. This is correct.
+Science Studio correct only on mainboards that do not have device autodetection which allows for power being augmented. Example
Manufactures include Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, etc. You are technically correct, however, you are not universally correct, and that is where clients coming to a computer store will complain most about. Nice show though.
+Steve Smith Motherboards that have "device autodetection" would also need corresponding phones with processors that would allow more or less than the designated wattage to pass through. This is how Quick Charge works as well. However, for USB 2.0, the situations in which something *other* than 5V/0.5A are being passed through are relatively isolated to very old phones, none of which were showcased or even mentioned in this video.
Science Studio's video's have such great quality, I'd expect him to be at 2 million subs rather than 53 thousand!!
P.S. Keep up the great work, love your videos!
I appreciate your support!
also how the lithium cells are arranged within the battery can directly affect power bandwidth vs storage.
Very true.
question , does the charging cable matters ??
the HTC charger I have , produces different results with different cables ? or is it just my bad luck at buying cables online ?
1:16 second charger says designed by california🤔😐
It really annoys me when people buy a cheap slow charger (5V 1A) to replace there current one (5V 2A+), and then complain about the speed.
I just took physics last school year and I got a little excited at 0:57 because I knew that!
first video I see where you advertise a product, nice nice, good job sir... you are doing very good in youtube.. cheers!!
Thanks for watching!
fast charging is weakening battery's lifespan in the long run....
or you can just "hack" old psp fat charger... it have freaking 10A power just cut the cord and replace it with usb one... also dont forget to cross the data cables together(thats how chargers work these are crossed together in them it is just used to ask how much power is awaible and since it is charger you have a lot of power...)
interesting video! make more of these yay RX480
Will do!
These are not chargers because these bricks we connect to wall socket doesynt include any circuits responsible for charging process, they only supply power, so these are power supplies.
You also should mention handshake protocols.
And you shouldnt say that input voltage is not important because plugging 110VAC USA charger to EU 220V socket will blow up that device :D
can u make a video about what to do when upgrading/replacing certain components in a pc? hardware and software wise
in about 2 weeks, i m upgrading my gpu, cpu, mainboard and ram and i m unsure what to do software wise, with drivers and such, hardware wise not really but it would be useful for those who dont
did you use 2amp+ specified charging cables or generic? my Galaxy S4 seems to charge faster using a cable specifically designed for chargers 2amps or more
Curious what your thoughts are on the IQ chargers? I have a Anker 2 USB IQ car charger, and a Anker 10 port (7 USB 3.0 & 3 USB IQ charging ports). Seems to work well.
thanks for the informative video. Got a question from my own exp
I have iPhone 5, for around 2 years now.
It was quite okay, until around when reaching 8 months, on my journey to tokyo on bus, I bought a portable charge with 5A output.
After using it for 1 day. I realize my battery is dropping like crazy ever since then. just 1 day after using that thing, my phone's battery is like having doppelganger. from 60% can drop to 1% in the next sec and died. in which some minutes later can be turned on and show 50% battery.
I dont know what is what anymore... Ive been using my phone for 2 years in this stupid crippled condition.
Is there some safety measure that I should have followed while charging?
Feels like that portable charge broke my phone's battery
My old Moto X (1st gen) had the same situation with the usb charging lol
can i charge a phone ( gtn 7000 ) with more than 1A charger that came originaly ? Like if i use 2.8Amps in stead of 1A what will happen with phone and batteryit self ? Arent there like pretective mechanisms built in to not overcharge or not to have to high curent in a phone it self while charging ?
I really like your videos and I always wonder, where do you get that black text with the white outline?
Did you try diffrent USB ports with the motorola? Like 1.1, 3.0, 3.1 etc.?
That is if you even have any ports that are newer than 3.0... I know that i don't...
USB 3.0 and 3.1 are capable of delivering much higher current across their buses. They wouldn't yield the same result the USB 2.0 header did.
Science Studio Well yeah... but would it charge at all?
My phone has both USB 3.0 and 3.1 ports, and I can confirm that both charge the Moto X successfully.
Science Studio okay :D so atleast it charges without a charger by using a USB port of some other electronic device.
You also need to take cable length into account
1:24 i didnt know cali was designing power adapters..
Original on left and fake(with chinglish) on right.
Man, I love my Moto X Pure, but none of the 3rd party turbo chargers do 25W and the one that came with my phone kinked. Motorola hasn't had replacements in stock for the last 7 months!
What is that PC case I like that window !!
Saw on the tweeter that you had the 480. I was disappointed when this video was not the review. Oh well. I can wait.
Coming *very* soon!
Just giving ya a hard time! Can't wait for it!
I bet that interesting video card is the RX480!
When you do multiplication and use x as a variable make sure to use * as the multiplication symbol. It seems a bit confusing when you see x in two parts of the equation. Also great video keep it up!
2 x 2 = x
2 * 2 = x
I don't think it was confusing, especially if you were listening to what I was saying as well.
I agree with you. But many non scientific people do not know what * mean. And he is just trying to advertise the charger on his channel, so he has to keep it simple. This is not a science video. This is a promotional video.
Question
how maximum amp can I push to my galaxy core wich came with 1 amp charger
hint
yellow booster really boostes the charging alot like 30% faster
also i have a anker IQ quick charge 20,000mAh battery bank. its capable of 3.4Amps @ 5V allegedly, and it charges my iphone 6S plus in about 1 hour. charges my LG V10 in about same time as well, my iPhone 5S in ~ 35minutes) note i was using anker's own expensive "kevlar" cables (10$ each .-.) but totally worth it for fastest charges consistently that i seen so far. great powerbank,to have, it doesn't even struggle to charge my macbook from 0-20% in few short minutes. one thing its missing is ability to jump start car. and i dont trust the current ones that do.., i have actually nearly set one on fire trying to start my turbo 5 engine on my 2006 Volvo S40 around town beater car.. my friend that recommended it has a inline 4 non turbo engine so probably alot less CCA vs my heavy Turbo 5. ..i really hope they figure that out, would be so useful once winter hits again, cuz no matter wat battery i have that car, once it gets cold, something turns on within the ABS powerrail and just drains living fuck out of batteries.. wow im ADHD, and hungry
Holy crap, awesome! Fantastic video :)
I have a question bro. can i charge my Ps4 Controller with the Motorola moto X turbo charger? Or the battery can explode or something?
keep the videos coming they are great!
any type of video is amazing from you mate!
I appreciate the kind words!
That experiment must have taken ages!
That's some physics there.
Awesome cahnnel. thank you for uploading videos :) Btw, name of your case behind you?
Corsair 400C. Have plenty of videos covering it.
Most PC USBs are running 1A at least USB 3.0 and 2.0 as well sometimes.
I think USB 3 is about 900ma out of the computer port and USB 2 is about 500ma.
This is that type of channel that when you see the subscriber number you feel sad for this guy
I think the introduction of the phones and graphs is more confusing than the math. You describe the types of power sources, why not just describe the types of phone inputs and be done with it.
You're the only person to think they're confusing. Can't change anything at this point.
But what about charging at lower amperage to help keep your battery life at its rated amount? of is that just liesss?
soo i can actually use/buy a charger with more Amps output than the "stock" charger of my phone without causing damage or lowering the lifespam of my battery ??
How did you get the RX 480?
What about AC/DC cables ?
are q chargers not bad for the battery in the long run? a slow charge the best right? in the long run.
so...is it safe to charge a 1A phone with a 2A charger for example? Will the charger detect and send the maximum amount of current the battery can handle or will it risk to damage the battery?
Yes. As long as the voltage is 5V (unless you're using a Quick Charge-capable device), you'll be fine using a 2A charger.
Interesting! Thanks for the reply!
thanks for the video.
Don't some processors have limits on how fast they can charge?
Where'd you find out how much power your USB 2.0 on your mobo delivers?
I have plenty of spare USB 3.0 slots on my mobo left, and a USB 3.1 and a Type-C
try reading the manual or ask the manufacturer directly.
Unless your mobo advertises some special feature, like laptops having a "charging" usb port, it should always be the same.
The specifications for USB 2.0 are that a normal load is 5V 100mA and that a port needs to be able to support 5 loads per port, so 5V at 500mA.
USB 3.0 has a normal load a 5v 150mA for normal loads and supports 6 loads per port so 5v at 900mA.
The standard of USB 2.0 on a computer is 0.5A,
USB 3.0 is 0.9A,and USB 3.1 is 2.0A
Great video mate!
Do turbochargers wear out the battery quicker?
The one plus 3 does 4A charging through USB type C
RX 480 IS F*CKING HERE!!!! BENCHMARKS PLSSSSSSSSS
I've know the informatuon stated in the video already, I came here for an answer as to how a 5v 0.7a charger charges my phone faster than a 5v 2a charger?
Can i charge my ps4 controller with the Motorola turbo charge or it will damage the battery?
Will the next build feature a new RX 480?
zoom in on the thumbnail of this video
4:01 "No big dildo" xDDDD
(i know he said "no big deal tho")
