Best practices for charging

The following tips and instructions will help you get the most out of your device's battery.

  • When using wireless charging accessories, please be aware that any metal or magnetic materials placed between the device and the wireless charger may decrease charging efficiency or cause damage.
  • Charging may take longer when using adapters, charging wirelessly, or charging through another device like a PC.
  • When using wired charging accessories, always check whether any foreign objects are in the connector or plug, as they may prevent charging or cause the charging accessories to overheat.
  • Make sure your phone doesn't overheat. Keep it in a cool location, especially while charging.
  • Don't let your battery completely drain. With new lithium-ion batteries being used, it is better to keep the battery partially charged, instead of letting it die. When possible, charge your device in small amounts to keep the battery from depleting. If the power has been depleted, the battery charging indicator may take up to 10 minutes to appear on the device's screen while charging.
  • Use a genuine Samsung fast charger for the quickest charge. You can't use the fast charging feature if you're using a standard charger.
  • If your phone is not charging, there are a couple of things that could be causing the problem. However, if your charger doesn't work at all, it should be replaced. If it's under warranty, then you can request service. If not, you will need to purchase a new one.
