Recharge Onyx T68 with a Samsung recharger?

cicabum · 03-01-2015, 07:19 AM

I've 2 Samsung rechargers:
1. (Black) 50-60Hz 0.15A
OUTPUT 5.0V - 0.7A
2. (White) 50-60Hz 0.34A
OUTPUT 5.0V - 2.0A

The second one is of my Samsung S4, but i've always used the first one, because the first one has less amperage. If i use the second one it could damage my Onyx T68?

You can't damage your device both charger have an output voltage of 5.0 V.

The amperage limit the capacity (delay) of charge for the device. There is one risk if you choose a too low amperage, not for the device but for the charger. The charger can overheat and this could be a reason of a fire : it's an exetreme case ;-) Even if you have a charger with 5.0 V and 10 000 A you could use a such charger without any risk.

The question is : what the amperage needed by the T68 ? If it's more than 0.7 A, you must not use the 5.0 V / 0.7 A charger.

Is it ArtaTech version of T68? If yes then just to make you aware of their official statement on this. According to them (which does not make sense) - if you use charger with amperage higher than 1A you will damage your device. They claim this even after longer discussion on one of the other forums pointing nonsense. The statement may have two meanings in practice. First is it is easy reason for voided warranty for them. Second is that for some strange reason they don't have a right charging controller on their devices and indeed it could be damaged.

I am using 2A since the beginning to charge my AG2 and have no issues so far.

The back of my T68 says "1A": so, what charger should i use if i don't want to have problems? I'm a little bit confused. Thanks a lot for your help! :-)

You should use your Samsung charger because the general rule the charger should be able to provide at least the required current. Your T68 will simply get from it as much current as it needs (1A). Just... never mention this to ArtaTech if you ever ask them for service.
