Samsung A14 Charging Slow

Fast (and slow) Charging!

Very fast charging of my Samsung 5 phone.

charging is very slow but if you just want an overnight charge this will get the job done while you sleep

It gives you 3 charging options...basically, fast, somewhat fast, and slow (which helps prolong the battery's life).

The Really Right Stuff LC-A14 Collar & Foot PKG on Nikon's AF-S 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR zoom Lens is a dream to use! The collar rotation is buttery smooth and locks tightly into position with a lot less effort than that of, Nikons stock collar-foot combination. The RRS, Arca-Swiss style foot attaches to the collar with ease, and locks firmly into place. The foot is plenty long enough to perfectly balance the 200-500 lens at any focal length. Yes Really Right Stuff is a bit on the spendy side, but they make up for it in quality and design. There is nothing worse to me than working with sub-standard equipment!

The Lorex A14 IP Wired Dome Security Camera system works great. The pictures are clear and let you zoom in for a better view. This is the best camera system that I have had.

My two biggest gripes after 3 weeks of usage: Charging LED indicator is well visible only if I put camera upside down Wifi transfer is painfully slow for RAW files, like 300kbps slow, 40 photos in an hour. Besides these minor points I love the camera, I've upgraded from Panasonic GF1 and Canon 7Dmk1, the jump in light sensitivity and usability is great. A7mk2 with kit lense gives much better results in low light than 7D with 50mm/1.4. Realtime (over)exposure feedback in EVF is godsent under sunny winter conditions.

I have a dual battery Nitecore charger and was disappointed in slow charge speeds. I read the same from reviewers about this charger also. Digging a bit deeper, I found Fujifilm recommends a 45 watt charging block - what a difference! Charger now works as I had hoped it would. The key is the charging block!

It's odd that the battery cannot be charged in my DSLR (unlike my Sony Camcorder), so charging one battery at a time is a bit slow. These Sony charges though are efficient at charging, and I have two now so that I can charge more than one at a time. (Works great with one battery already in the camera, with two more ready to go).

This unit does charge slow but I can charge my phone about 7 times before the GearPower needs charging again. It's relatively small and lightweight so it is easy to pack and take anywhere. A must for anyone constantly on the move without.
