Interesting results using an app that measures amps coming from sockets. (1 Viewer)

It's all based on what the plug supplies amps wise, rather than volts. It should say on it what amps it gives. If not it's watts / volts (12 or 240) = amps.

The USB charging system is a mess of different standards. The latest spec ones can set the voltage from 5v - 20v and can supply up to 5Amps.

Then there is the charging cables. I have a box of USB cables. Using the same phone and USB socket but only changing the cable I can double the rate of charge just by swapping a cable.

I prefer a slow charge overnight for my phone as it puts less stress on the battery and extends the lifespan.

This is a table covering the charging voltages/power. It is worth noting that the charge rate is affected by the device you are charging, the cable AND the socket you are plugging into.
