Make a Fast Charge USB cable

In this video I show how to modify an existing USB cable to turn it into a fast charge cable, this is especially useful for Android devices using AC or Car charge adapters that are charging in USB mode instead of AC mode.

If the data pins (two middle pins) are shorted together, the Android device will assume it's connected to an AC adapter and try to pull more power than the usual 450-500ma it pulls when it thinks it's connected to a regular usb port.

Some people choose to cut their cable in half and then solder the wires, but this is a fiddly process and damages the cable shielding and general strength.

Kuya, thank you for your service. It must be tiring to do this, esp for a foreigner, almost everyday... I salute you!

Very useful video - however, it is important to ensure the lead you are modifying can handle the higher current. Some cheap USB leads contain very thin strands of copper that are not intended to handle the higher current and may present a fire risk.

what app u r using to display amp/volt

[جديدفىالانيجما]

I thought I would make a multi-USB cable for charging and powering models and speakers
I discovered that the mobile does not charge quickly
Now, after watching the video and after connect, both ends of the data
The mobile phone actually charged to its full capacity and quickly
Honestly, it is one of the few videos that provides a solution to the fast charging problem
Thank you very much

Um, why stuff up the USB cable with the strip? It would make more sense to put the aluminium strip on female USB on the power supply so that the cable can still be used as a data cable.

Which app do you use for getting voltage and milliamps?

[giosterr]

bring thecamera closer to whats on your hands than having the camera looking at u

Thanks for the help man, seriously...my phone is charging hella fast, good video

[dennis]

cool tip. what app are you using to detect and display the current?

[abraxasdemonio]

Hello, the data cables (green and white) you connect to the power cable (red) to pass electricity to the terminals of the female usb?

It works with regular tape or electric tape? Because I can't find the aluminum tape. Thanks.

Would this work on my drone battery it takes hours using the USB charger . Its a 3100 .11.4 v . Thanks

[MrLaloman]

Awesome!  My Oneplus One charger is 2.3amps and it charges from Zero to Full in about 45 minutes... Looking at my battery status it states its charging at AC current so full power is being utilized for that quick charging....  Awesome!   Now if I can find small Supercapacitors and mod them to fit inside my phone replacing my phone's battery then my phone will be able to charge fully in about 30 seconds or so!

can I use general charger that include with Samsung intact box & with that general charger+your method to tap the it work??

[leslieharbison]

Gadget addict you did a very good job on this video and I honestly don't think anyone else could have explained it so thoroughly that anyone could understand exactly what to do

[fotogee]

Hi! GA! Quick question. Can I use any other tape rather than aluminum????

[daikaiju]

GA thanks for this mate, so the green and white wires are just both open circuits inside the ac charger, the short you cause with aluminum foil tells phone draw all it can? thanks!

Hi gata! Do you know what cellphone currently in the market has dual sim active? Most dualsim is just switching

[Lanaetherton]

Thank you. This was easy and it really works. I just recently switched from an iPhone to a Samsung S5. It's been 3 weeks and I hate it, but I'm pretty sure that's because I don't know how to really use this phone. Do you have any website suggestions that would help me understand everything this phone is capable of?
