Please note: Samsung does not recommend using third party or non-Samsung certified accessories. Use of uncertified of counterfeit accessories may invalidate your warranty and cause damage. To avoid hindering the charging of your device and causing battery issues, be sure to use authentic Samsung chargers and cables purchased from our Samsung Experience Stores or authorised dealers.

There are some cases where faster charging will not work:

  • When using a universal wireless charging pad that does not support fast-charging – ex: EP-P5400, P6300, etc.
  • When using the previous model’s Watch charging pad ​– ex: EP-OR500, EP-OR825​.
  • When using the battery sharing function of a smartphone​.
  • When using an OR900 PAD with a charger that does not support PD​ – ex: AFC, QC charger, portable battery pack, PD non-supported USB port, etc.​

Charge time varies with region, settings, and environmental factors; actual results will vary.
