Only the official Nook cable and charger will work for charging.
But the percentage goes up, and also it never came with a wall charger only the cable....

If it was new it came with a charger. If used, someone stiffed you. You can buy a charger and cable from B&N for $24.95. The charger and cable have additional charging pins from normal cables which is why other chargers will barely if at all charge it.
It was brand new but only has the cable she still has the box which only has a slot for the cable

Both brand new and Barnes and Noble refurbished come complete with charger and cable. The charger is a small wall adapter with a USB socket that the cable plugs into. It can supply about 2A and over extra wires / pins which are in the official cable.
Check the box and if you didn't get the adapter then you should contact Barnes and Noble.
You can charge your nook with a compatible cell phone charger, but you have to plug in the nook, then turn it off and leave it alone for 8 hours or so to get a full charge.
Do check for the part the cord should plug into, to plug into the wall. Call 1-800-thebook if the cord breaks (which it will!) for a free replacement. The cords are cheaply made. I am on my 5th cord - all replaced for free.

So the wall sends out 1000 ma and USB sends 500 ma.
What about webtop? Anyone know?

Now that would be interesting. 500,000 volts from a USB. Needs a flux capacitor.

Hey thanks! I already have a dock though.
In my post I asked what the charging output was for the HD dock.
Sent from my Atrix using XDA App
USB 2 is 500ma, USB 3 is 900ma, Moto charger has 850ma rating on it. If you have a USB 3.0 port you can use you'll get enough power from that. I use the 3.0 on my laptop at work, and it charges fine.
How can we find out the charging output of the multimedia dock?

Do the differences matter much? Just one takes longer to charge then the other?

Yes one charges faster that's it. For heavy users like myself, getting the most juice as conveniently as possible is a plus.
I also like to charge my phone on the dock and keep my usb cable in the truck for playing music. I only want to do so if I can find out what the dock is putting out. When I need juice I need it as quickly as possible.

If your only getting 500mA your phone will take hours to charge and then only if your not running wifi, Bluetooth or gps. Use any of those and plugging it in will just prolong discharge but not actually charge it. With just GPS running I pull over 700mA. I'm really tempted to put a female end with resistors (to fool the phone into thinking it’s on AC power or it'll never pull more than 500mA) on a split wire usb mini cable for charging at work.
I finally used my brain and checked my chargers. Here's the specs
Standard charger: 850mA
HD multimedia dock: 1.2A

I think the dock is rated higher to power the usb ports. I bet it still only feeds 500 to the phone for charging. Looks like its back to the cable for charging!

Just an update. I think the dock charges as fast as the wall power adapter. Almost certain.

This is interesting as I have issues getting my Atrix to charge in the car dock. I have the ATT boxed car dock with ecomoto dual USB. It simply will not charge in the dock. Connected direct to the car charger and it's super fast to charge. Maybe the ecomoto isn't capable of charging the phone in the car dock.

Is using a different wall charger harmful? I was using my old palm pre wall charger for the first few days and it is rated at 1000mA.

Can you splice a USB cable and a charger together?
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using XDA App
It doesn't matter what you slice together as it will not take a charge via the usb port. So unless you got some magic spells and chants and perhaps some pixie dust. Then it isn't going to happen.

The reason why it's no is:
Any devices USB port only puts out 5 volts.
The A500 charging port requires 12 volts.
The A500 USB port doesn't charge the battery.
Is anyone else having problems charging their S4? I was using a 5V/1A car charger while on a trip and the phone was actually losing power faster than it was charging. I did have Waze open and was playing music using local files with Google Play, but my S3 was able to handle that fine and still charge in the car.
Additionally, I left it plugged in overnight for 6+ hours using the AC plug that came with the phone and it didn't charge up all the way.
Is there something wrong with my phone?

I had the same problem in my car. I had a cheap car charger that was lower amperage than the standard wall charger. This phone is designed to charge with a 5V 2Amp charger. Your screen draws more power than your s3 so 1amp might be it's burn rate with screen on, GPS, music, etc.
I got a 2amp car charger from thinkgeek that works brilliantly. It was a little pricey. Amazon has one for 6 bucks. I highly recommend buying a coiled micro USB cable so it is more manageable.

Should be as safe as using the stock charger. Even if it was a lot more powerful than the stock charger it would still be fine because the phone itself is what regulates how much power to send the battery.
Hello,
I purchased my Nexus 10 in the United States, but currently reside in Korea. I accidentally left my wall charger at work today. I always charge my Nexus with the original wall charger plugged in to a power converter just to be safe. But now I'm wondering. I have a Korean USB to micro usb wall charger that I use to charge my phone. It has a DC 5.0V 1000mA charging capacity. I would like to know, would it be safe to use the Korean wall charger, or would I blow up my battery? I've searched all over the net, and I can't get a definitive answer. Please help.
Thanks.

I guess you can try plugging it, but keep an eye on it just to be sure everything is fine. If it starts to become too hot or behaves weirdly unplug immediately! And also, remember to pick back your normal charger ASAP! I already charged mine with a S4 charger with no problems .

My Galaxy S4 charges.... terribly directly connected through USB into my PC in both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 inputs.
Am I doing something wrong, is there a way to boost the charge you get from a USB PC input?
Thanks!
Most USB ports on a computer are only 0.5 to 0.75 amps. To charge your GS4 you really need about 1.0 amps, the charger that came with your GS4 is 2.0 amps. So no you can't get a better charge from your computer.

Check the logo on the USB ports. Look for one with a lightning bolt. My laptop has specified ports that have higher output for charging.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk 4
Some laptops from MSI are supported by their utility called Super Charger. This boosts the power output but also removes connectivity (I believe). So you won't be able to connect your phone and transfer data.
There maybe be a utility that supports your laptop for boosting charging. Best thing to do is Google around for some programs.
If your laptop is old you're probably out of luck.

There is a cord that is used for external hard drives on laptops it uses two usb ports but plugs into one drive doubling the power. Just a thought. Only thing is they are usually mini usb not micro but an adapter should do it

Thanks all! I also have another problem!
I read your answers, so I decided to get a 3 amp car charger for my S4! If the original S4 wall charger is 2 Amps, then a 3 amp car charger sounds good, right?
Unfortunately, my phone gains no charge from it in both of my cards, my phones battery just dies slower when plugged into the car.
Any tips? Thanks!
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Most car chargers lie about their ratings so that could be one problem, the other, is most phones see car chargers as a usb port charger instead of an ac charger so the rate of charge is automatically reduced to usb charging. Somewhere on here was a thread on how to modify a car charger so the phone would see it as an ac wall charger and allow it full output. I believe you have to open up the charger and jump a wire over. Search on here or google it and you should find it.
Could be a lot of things. But remember you phone will only allow its self to charge at a certain rate. Thus, purchasing high amperage chargers will provide no benfit.
High amperage chargers are more for tablets that require more power for their larger batteries.

Mine does that. I have to reboot it while it's plugged up to my car charger. Thought my charger was bad after taking the MJA update. Still looking for a fix....
