chargers for the MDA - using motorla charger?

Hey all... i have a motorla charger that fits (and lights up) the MDA, but should i be using it?
on the back of the motorola charger it says:
Input: 100 - 240~ 50/60hz 0.1A
Output: 5V - 550mA
The Orginal MDA charger says:
Input: 100 - 240~0.2A 50/60hz LPS
Output: 5V - 1A
Any ideas? - then i can also use a car charger i have.
Thanks
Faisal

This should be ok, as long as you don't need to charge a spare battery at the same time..
You can charge trhtough USB, and usb has 5v 500mA..

Quick Charge Battery Pack/Cables Conundrum

Hoping someone could possible shed some light/offer an idea as to why this is happening...
I am using a 5 pack of Aukey USB 3.0 to C cables model CB-CMD2: (https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-USB-C-Cable-Braided-3-3ft/dp/B01B634WNK), with varying lengths. These cables work fine with all of my other battery packs (non QC 2.0) that have USB 2.0 5v/2.1A out ports, with Aukey's very own QC 2.0 car charger that I use in my car, model CC-T1: (https://www.amazon.com/Dual-Port-Ch...dp/B00LJT2EPK?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0 ) , and with the supplied QC 3.0 AC wall adapter that came with my HTC 10 phone. So the USB C cables appear to be fine. They just do not work with the Aukey QC 2.0 battery pack, model PB-T1: (https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Charger-10000mAh-External-Battery/dp/B00UBDI7EC), which is befuddling when it is Qualcomm QC 2.0 certified like their car charger I have that the cables work with. The battery pack still work fine with a USB 2.0 to micro USB cable to charge my old phone HTC M8, so the battery packs do seem to work, just not with the USB-C cables I bought, but those cables work with everything else really well, so I cannot tell who is at fault here...lol
I'm stumped....

Does the S8/S8+ support 5v/3A charging?

Wanted to ask before I consider returning the charger I got
I tested this car charger
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01E764DXM
Using this
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MT8MC3N
Results were
Using USB A to USB C cable - screen off 8.98v/1A-1.67A(amps varied during the 100mA test I did) - phone read Fast Charging
Using a USB C to USB C cable plugged into the USB C port - screen off 5v/1.8A steady (zero fluctuation) - phone read Cable Charging
Now the charger says it is capable of 5v/3A output out of the USB C port but that's not what I'm getting to the S8, which makes me wonder if it's a limit placed by Samsung software to not go for higher Amperage (and therefore more wattage)
When I look at the estimated charging times, the QC (USB A- USB C) is usually 10 min faster than the USB C charging

9x1.67 is the max the phone supports, on 5v you might get 2a tops, looks like the usb-c port on that charger doesn't support 9v for some reason.

Has anyone found and tried USB-C cables that support high-power 5a and for sale in the USA? https://www.startech.com/ca/Cables/usb-c/usb-c-usb-3-1-cable-power-delivery~USB31C5C1M

Chargers for Fast/Rapid Chargers

Got a G7 coming in the mail. I have some requests as far as Qualcomm Quickcharge (QC), Motorola TurboPower, and USB-Power Delivery (USB-PD) so that I can get chargers/cables that work optimally for the G7 as well as my other devices.
I know the G7 comes with a TurboPower USB-C charger, which per the amazon description for the charger, supports 5.0V/3A, and also USB-PD 2.0.
https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-TurboPower-USB-C-Type-Charger/dp/B01M8MFCYQ
However, USB-PD should support multiple voltages and amperages for optimal charging, not just 5.0V/3.0A.
Can anyone with a USB-PD USB-C charger check out charging times/rapid charging mode with the G7 to see if the phone is USB-PD compliant (see if charge time is different than the stock charger)?
I have a QC 3.0 charger at home (will have to use a usb-a to usb-c cable) that I will be able to try and see if it gets rapid charging through it. I have read that the phones/chargers play nice with QC devices with quick charge times, but I doubt the phone is compatible with all of turbopower, USB-PD, and QC.

Well, got my phone today, and did some testing.
Charger that comes with the phone, turbocharger, is USB-A, and comes with an A to C cable. Lists 5V/3A, 9V/2A, and 12V/1.5A as outputs. Invokes "turbo charging" on the phone (expected).
Next I tried my Aukey power adapter with QC 3.0, with an USB-A port. This also invokes "turbo charging". This worked with both crossover A-C cables, and a micro usb cable with micro to usb-c adapter on it.
Next was the same Aukey adapter, but just a regular 5V/2.4A USB-A port. Just invoked regular "charging".
Next was my rav-power powerbank with usb-c 5V/3A port. This also invoked "turbocharging (15W).
Last, I tried a new charger I just received today for my work laptop - 65 watt USB-C adapter, I'm assuming with power delivery usb-pd (goes much higher than QC). Lower modes at 9V/2A and 5V/2A. This invoked "turbo charging".
Seems anything from 15-18 watts gets a "turbo charging" label. I find it amusing that is the "turbo power 15w" charging adapter but outs 18 watts...
In short - it seems that this phone does indeed recognize all 3 modes of fast charging - turbo power, QC, and USB-PD - or those standards are close enough to be somewhat interchangeable. Will do some timed testing later on.
Phone is same size as a galaxy s9 and is slick as hell - definitely buy a case asap.

I'll try to remember to check at work, I have an amp meeter that supports fast charge and see what voltage it goes to and amperage draw.

Seems to only do 5v charging so anything with a high amp rating is likely to turbo charge.
