I need a replacement Samsung charger, where's a good place to get one without being ripped off.

Ring ANY hotel. Say you left your charger behind. Tell them it's a Samsung. Give them your delivery address.

Seriously though - why 'samsung' don't you just need a 240V>5v adapter and a USB > micro USB cord?

Pretty audacious thing to do TBH. Would avoid because they'll probably call you out on it too.

I don't know if you can buy a samsung charger by itself though. Maybe in some sort of accessory pack at JB/Noel Leeming etc

I was joking, but my colleague's parents manage a motel. They have a huge box of chargers they will eventually take to the dump. I'm sure most m/hotels are the same.

PBtech has this which uses but then gives you back the power outlet and gives you 2x USB prts for charging smartphones.. a bargain at $11.44

I'm really just after the fact the official Samsung chargers seem to charge my S4 in record time - anything else is quite slow.

You can get the Samsung 2A micro USB charger from Samsung for $35 - http://www.samsung.com/nz/consumer/mobile-phone/accessories/mobile-phone-accessories/ETA-U90HBEGXSA?catnm=Battery+%2F+Charger&catid=PA0103

Nate, if you get a Fast charge USB cable that follows the "dumb USB spec" then you can charge from a generic charger much faster, well up to about 900mA at least.

I have the Belkin charger from Dick Smith, combined with a good cable I got from a member here it charges my phone at the same rate as the Samsung charger. "Galaxy charging current" app (or something like that) reports both at 1900mah max, 1200mah sometimes.
