I'm not a fan of how the stock charger looks. So I was curious of the charger with QC2 2.0 from Aukey would work?
Yup
Are you talking about the wall plug or a wireless fast charge charger?
The wall plug from Aukey works fine, also the Choetech works fine. I own both.
Worth mentioning that although Quick Charge is a Qualcomm technology, QC2.0 certified chargers work on the Exynos version S7 Edge also, and activate "Fast Charge".

Yep any charger with Qualcomm qc support will work and the ones with higher amperage will also charge at a faster speed although not as fast as qc. The 820 is also supposed to support qc3.0 which should be even faster.
I have a HTC QC2.0 charger, works perfectly
What do you guys think about it?
Is is "safe"?
What Chargers are you guys using?
thanks in advance!
I've read that G6 does not support QC3.0 for now but it's about to thanks to the incoming update.
But anyway, of course, why not!
I did so with my Xperia Z3 Compact which supported QC2.0 but it's pretty much the same case for our G6's. I never had any problems with the battery in my Z3C.
I'm also planning to buy QC3.0 charger, which one are you gonna use?
Well, i'm using the default charger, which is supposedly qc 2, but qc 3 shouldn't damage your battery in any way. It charges very quickly to around 85% and then slows down to preserve battery life.

also in several yt video tests that it clearly can do QC3.
i use that charger:

yep the included one can QC2 (asked LG support about it)
and ive read the same thing about qc3... that it is supposably battery "friendlier", thats why i was wondering what other lgg6 users do
I've confirmed that the charger that came with my G6 is QC3.0 (model MCS-H06UR, UK 3-pin). Using a USB power meter, the voltage will increase from 5V to 9V in small steps. If I use a QC 2.0 charger (stock charger from Note4/S7edge), it will jump from 5V to 9V immediately.

Now, this is interesting and good to know. But QC 3.0 has two components to it. One is the variable voltage, but the second is actually using voltages up to 22V. So it would seem that this is QC 2.5

Well, it just means that it can support up to 22V but not that all charger must support 22V to be QC 3.0 compatible. If you look around most QC 3.0 chargers only support up to 12V.
Can i use a quallacom quick charge charger rated at [email protected] (i guess what turbo power gives is 9v at 1.67A)
P.s both give charging current of nearly 2500ma in ampere app,my original moto charger is not wrking and i am out of warranty
Yes I use my samsung charger (9v 2amp) on my G4 all the time shows as turbo charger when plugged in.
Yes, you can use a QC 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0 charger with this phone... although I would HIGHLY recommend only using a QC 3.0 charger if possible, it is much better at delivering variable power needed for quick charging and controlling temperatures in the battery. When you use a QC 1.0 or 2.0 charger, the phone has to step down to that version, which will still charge faster than a "standard" charger, but it will increase battery temperatures while charging significantly which over extended use can reduce the overall life and capacity of the battery.

What is?
I don't think you understand, there is no charger specifically for the SD625 or any other chipset... this is merely Qualcomm's Quick Charge technology, but Moto/Lenovo didn't want to pay the licensing/royalty or whatever else to call it that, so they call it TurboPower. I have a Qualcomm QC 2.0 adapter here at my desk and if I connect it, it clearly says "TurboPower Connected".

Again, I don't understand what you mean. The SD625 support Quick Charge 3.0, but the charger supplied with the device is a QC 2.0 compliant adapter that is labeled "TurboPower", at least in the US. If I connect a Samsung GS7 to the Moto charger, it shows Fast Charging as well.
I am not trying to be argumentative, but I don't understand what are you trying to say here.

According to reputable reviews, it's Quick Charge 3.0:
https://www.androidcentral.com/moto-g5-plus
https://www.androidheadlines.com/2017/03/moto-g5-plus-android-smartphone-review.html
However, "officially" according to Lenovo, it supports Quick Charge 2.0 but even when asked directly they do not state that it does or does not support 3.0.
I have a USB diagnostic device but I don't know if that will tell me the answer, since I don't own a 3.0 capable charger currently.

Honestly? I'm guessing it's a royalty or licensing thing, they can't say "Quick Charge 3.0" because they didn't pay the fee.
Just my guess... I have nothing to back that up.

Dude, don't double post. It's a waste of space, time, and creates pointless threads.
QC3 Chargers can use QC2 to charge devices. Whether or not the phone supports it is irrelevant.

And both will work fine. A 8 second Google search will tell you this. Try looking before asking!

Ok, using "highly" and "much better" here might have been a bit overkill... From 1.0 to 2.0 the difference is huge, from 2.0 to 3.0 not so much, especially on a device like this that isn't drawing a ton of current consistently.
Is a 3.0 charger better for the longevity of the battery, and thus the device, over the long term? Yes. Is it significant enough to pay the extra over a 2.0 charger? That's your call... After a year or so of consistent use it might not even make a significant difference in battery life, it may add a month ot two to the longevity of the phone over it's lifespan, no one can say for sure because each case is unique.
My chargers, except car chargers, far out last my phones, I've had the same charger on my nightstand for 4-5 years now (seriously, it's from a Blackberry Playbook) so it's an investment...
I don't understand the issue here... A good QC 3.0 charger is a few bucks more than a 2.0 charger, and if you look you can get one for $10-$12, so is two or three dollars worth worrying about this?
If you are just concerned about what is best for the battery, never use a quick charger at all...

That is my charger at work... If you have a QC 2.0 charger, don't bother getting a new one. If you are buying one, get a 3.0 one.
I know this thread is a little dated and I'm a late comer to this thread, but I just bought the g5 plus on a black friday deal at best buy $300 down to $225, US xt1678 variant, 64gb storage and 4gb ram, I jsut could not resist it for that price, and....it was actually cheaper than the 32gb storage 2gb ram variant which was listed at $229
Anyways on to my question, this is for acejavelin. You said your qc 2.0 worked and came up as showing turbo charging (not just normal charging)? I hope I am reading this correctly. Also is this one of those Qualcomm® Quick Charge 2.0 chargers, that's what I was looking at buying for my car and was curious if it worked. Just checking to make sure I'm reading the thread correctly.
I recently just bought a 2.1 fast charge lighter plugin, but guess what, it doesn't turbocharge only normal charge. I tried with the cord that came with the phone, as well as 2 other cords and still only normal charge for each one.
Now with my wall charger (the provided turbocharger that came with the g5 plus) in the house, all 3 cords work and show as turbocharge as long as I am using the provided moto turbo charge wall charger.
I also was curious and tried an old samsung charger that I used on I think it was the s4, last samsung I owned lol. With my nexus 5x which has USB-C worked wonderfully with it, but sadly turbo charge does not work so well with the samsung wall charger, because it does not show as turbo charge, but only normal charge on the g5 plus.
I'm little bit confused coz some users say that QC 3.0 works but some of them report that only QC 2.0 works. Have anybody tried QC 3.0 charger? I cannot try it coz I have only QC 2.0 charger
I use a QC3.0 charger but the phone is only QC2.0

qc3.0 is backwards compatible this means
phone is only qc2.0 and you use qc3.0 charger then the charger will switch to "qc2.0 mode"
Thank you guys for the information. So it doesn't make any difference between QC 2.0 and QC 3.0. Am I right? The only difference between QC 2.0 and QC 3.0 is the price
No, a QC3.0 charger will charge a QC3.0 device quicker so just buy a QC3.0 charger to future proof yourself.

It won't make a difference on the G5+, but it will likely make a difference on your next phone. Only you can decide if you want to save a little $ today, but have to spend $$ the next time you upgrade.
Hi,
Has anyone been successful in finding a 30+ watt Power Delivery USB C charger that also supports QuickCharge 3.0? Apparently the G6 is extremely picky and only accepts PD from a few chargers. Since I'm permanently travelling with this setup I don't mind if it's a charger with just 1 output.
Thanks for any suggestions!
drftr
G6 doesnt support PD, it only supports qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0
Thanks. I know but I have other devices that do. As I'm permanently travelling I'm looking for ONE charger and ONE cable that fit the bill.
https://gtrusted.com/how-the-lg-g6-charges-with-the-google-universal-type-c-charger-60w-using-usb-power-delivery
This site tests many qc and pd chargers with the lg g6 - search.
Anyways, LG G6 works fine with both types because it's built-in.
As long as you have a compatible PD charger, you'll be fine in the future with other devices, too. No need for a QC charger.
Thanks.
I'm familiar with their articles and it is exactly there that I learned most PD chargers DON'T work with the G6. Furthermore I've been contacting many companies and most agree on those findings.
For pocket-sized single port 30+ Watt PD chargers that DO work so far I have found:
Anker PowerPort III Mini (30W)
Choetech Q6006 (61W)
Choetech Q4004 (60W)
ZMI zPower Turbo HA-712 (65W)
UGreen CD127 (30W)
UGreen CD207 (45W)
Mu One (45W)
There's a few of which the company says it won't work while the manufacturer says it does:
RAVPower PD Pioneer RP-PC120 (30W)
RAVPower PD Pioneer RP-PC112 (61W)
Some of these are "rather exotic" and you'll find zero reviews. Interesting but not surprising was finding out that most of these are just made by one single company in Shenzhen. They just put your company specific logo there. So that's probably also the reason why the marketing pics on Amazon look amazingly similar.
drftr
Manufacturers of PD chargers also need to pay for a Quickcharge license and most likely will advertise this feature then. At least there should be a Quickcharge 1 compatible mode with 5v 2amps, which works for the G6. I had bought a QC3 (not PD) charger which wouldn't work properly with my QC1 devices, so i left my trusty old QC1 5port 8A (total) Anker charger in place.
Thanks for that...
I'm awaiting the arrival of the Anker PowerPort III Mini. Anker told me it would support fast charging for the G6 and so does their C to C PowerLine III cable. Let's see how long they keep working. This remark is not specifically meant for Anker products but I've read many horrible stories about PD chargers and cables in general.
