Recommended (fast) charger?

Hi, unfortunately I forgot my genuine Jolla charger on the train. Is there any recommended charger that delivers 1A to the Jolla? Charging using the PC and some random chargers that I had lying around takes much too long.

Nokia AC-16 from the N9 package works fine.

The charger of N8 also works well. I always use it because the cable is much longer. Its AC-10E

My N8 charger has not the micro-USB connector, how do you connect your N8 charger to the Jolla device? They have different connectors each other.

The N8 is compatible to old and new chargers from nokia. My N8 was with a charger with micro-USB cable. I always had Nokia devices, so there is no chance of getting it from somewhere else, but it might be that I got this charger because I bought my N8 right before it was deleted by my provider :)

The best micro-USB charger known to me is the Samsung ETA-U90EB (black) or Samsung ETA-U90EW (white). Both deliver 2A (stabilised) to any connected device and have a high power efficiency (won't get too warm). Both have integrated power-cutoff, if no device is attached to save energy.

I never used my Jolla charger at all and always take the Samsung's for any purpose, they prove to be awesome, reliable and are the fastest chargers you will get (2A is the maximum which might be used on micro-USB). Even if your Jolla won't use the max current, there will still be a reasonable margin available at charger level, what gives a safe feeling...

You'll get 'em below $10 on Amazon, so it's a very valuable buy you won't regret!

(the USB cable is included in the package!)

Good advice, I have the white one and it's excellent.

Any USB compatible and certified charger should work. Just check that it provides 1 A or more so it will charge the phone at least as fast as the original one.

I'm using TinyPlug 230V USB wall charger, 2.1A from verkkokauppa.com. Works like a charm and is fast.

BTW The package doesn't include the USB cable.

You can use any 1A (or more) charger with USB output. But I recommend using a good quality and not too long cable.
