I have a galaxy note 3. I know the battery is 3200mAh and this charger only has 2600mAh when full, yet I think it should charge it more than 50%. Is this unit defective or there is a major loss of charge somewhere during the process?

If you completely power off your device while charging, this would be correct, but if you are continuing to use the device while charging, this will definitely effect battery life.

My Schumacher charger would let the battery drop to less than 50% without restarting. I believe there is a fault with the unit's processor. Schumacher support would not respond to my requests for a remedy. The remedy is to return it before the money back guarantee expires.

Yes. While it does not charge as quickly as using the supplied cord, it works fine. Also - the size of this charger is almost exactly the size of the Note 3. That makes it simple to align the phone on the charger. The Note 3 gives a beep and alerts you via a screen display when it is charging this way so you know it is working.

it is a balance charger but if you have a cell that became discharged below minimal voltage then its not going to fix that. However if the battery just got discharged unevenly somehow, it may recharge it to full capacity. I am guessing that the battery developed a short and is probably defective, but trying another charger may fix it (if it was not discharged too far). Just be extra careful when trying to charge that battery and monitor it. Hope this helps you to decide what to do! It is a good little charger for the money!

Yes it does and it charges very quickly. I see that you are also being told that the note 3 requires more power , but the charger in question charges at 2.1 amps which gives a rapid charge. I use mine every day without a problem. just use the 2.1 output.

If you're trying to charge a note 2 it will take longer. The galaxy notes require larger amps to charge that's why the charger is larger than a normal cell phone. These cords are for smaller cell phones.

I am guessing these are factory defective chargers that didn't pass inspection. The "2 amp" charger I received only puts out about 0.6 Amps. The "2 amp" charger I received with my Note 3 puts out 1.8 amps.

Because a 3200 mAh battery is the standard capacity for a battery for the Note 3, not 3800 mAh. The Samsung labelled battery that came in my Note 3, purchased new from Verizon, is a 3200 mAh battery.

I don't know how you are using the charger. I've had mine since May. I only use it rarely when I am traveling and need the extra boost. If you been charging and discharging the battery daily, you might have created a memory effect in the battery. Lithium battery were not supposed to have the memory effect problem, but it has been found that is not completely true. I would contact Amazon/Jackery to see if they would replace the battery since it's been only a few weeks.

I have the same issue. Not sure what is going on. Tried full charge with no load. Only time I would have 100 percent is when the charger is hooked up.

That happened to me once. I think perhaps the battery wasn't fully pushed into the charger. I can't speak with certainty to your case, but could that be a possibility? I would try charging it again on the charger and see if it works. if not, contact the seller. I love my charger, and only had a problem the one time. The USB port on my phone has since ceased to work, so I am really glad that I got the charge - it is now a necessity! It has worked perfectly except one time, and I think that the battery wasn't fully pushed into the charger then.

This part is specific to the Note 1. This fixes the issue of not being able to charge... the micro USB connector came loose or was somehow damaged. I've fixed 3 Note 1's with thus issue. This will not solve the issue you have, perhaps a new battery would be a better solution.

I would suggest Yes. I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. My battery charges 29% per hour (according to 3rd party app). Potentially higher with a USB 3.0 cable. Advantage for me was the multiple devices in my household and the charger having 2 ports for relatively quick charges on both ports.

The galaxy note 3 has a 3200 mAh battery and the NT600C is a 6000mAh battery supply. So it will charge the Note 3 to completion up to two times if the NT600C starts at full capacity. For a smaller phone like my nexus 4 it recharges the battery nearly 3 times.

Yes, it will, but it will take 2 times longer to charge.Note 3 takes in 2A of electricity. This Andru charger can only pass through 1 A. So Note 3 will only take in 1A of electricity. I'm not sure how long it takes to charge a Note 3 now.. but whatever it is, just double it.

You need to calibrate the phone's charging sensor. There are instructions for this online. Basically, the battery is charged 100%, but the phone only thinks it's at 80%. When you unplug the charger, the phone looks at the battery and decides it's at 80%, so it drops down to that level almost immediately. It's the same reason why some people report that the last ten percent of the battery's charge seems to last longer. The phone thinks the battery is almost empty, but it is actually 30% or more charged.

The Charge slowly decreases over several months. I have tested it several weeks after being charged and the power bank is fully charged. However, I have tested it 3 months after charge and it was drained to 0%. It seems that it should be plugged in every 4-6 weeks or so overnight and then carried safely for another month or so.I still carry mine, but as it only has a small charge, and the higher capacity power banks are cheaper and just a little bit bigger, I carry those now instead as they can charge my phone 10 times, and my tablet 2-3 times. This small charger only added about 20 minutes of battery to my phone and about 10 minutes to my tablet. The Charge slowly decreases over several months.
