Can be charged ...Charger that can be used in Surface 3 / unusable charger: Verification (update)

　One week after the launch of the domestic LTE version of Surface 3, let's solve the problem that all Japan Surface 3 users would face.

　The Surface3 charger is the first series, not a dedicated terminal, but a general microUSB.There have been some Windows tablets that use MicroUSB, but here is the precautions of Surface 3.The hint is in the genuine charger.

　The charger is very compact, only equipped with a power saving CPU.The appearance of the charger is as small as a smartphone or an Android tablet, but there are places where only one is not small or cute.

　Here.2 output 2.5.Normal tablets have many chargers up to about 2A output, so this +0.5 is quite high output.When you start using it, you can see the reason immediately.Due to power consumption, a general USB charging adapter cannot be charged enough.On the contrary, the battery gradually decreases even though I use it while charging.This was in trouble.

　Then, I arranged the USB charging adapter at hand, what kind of charger can be used as a genuine.So, I will summarize the number of output amp of each charger.

アンペア数別 4種類の充電アダプターで試す

・ Apple genuine iPhone 1A / Apple genuine iPad 2.1a Sony Ericsson (now Sony Mobile) 850mA (oldest on hand) ・ Anker PowerIQ 6 Port 2.4A ・ Reference: Surface 3 Genuine 13W Power Adapter 2.5

　By the way, from the charging result you are worried about.First, Apple genuine iPhone charger.Since the output is 1A, it is very common for modern smartphones.Insert it immediately.

……Right.I knew it, it would be useless.It's less than half of the genuine output.Let's go next.Sonieli.

　I knew it.…… Sonieli's nostalgic 850ma charger was also ×.

　So what about an iPad?This is quite a favorite.2A slightly exceeded 2.1A.I guess you can charge it with this much?

　Yeah!!!!Speaking of 2A, the output that can be charged sufficiently on the general Android tablet or, of course, on the iPad.If there was only this in the previous generation Atom tablet, charging would have been fine.Surface3 seems to be able to charge for the time being.Room.(June 25, I have confirmed that the iPad charger may not be charged due to the power supply environment. Probably because the power supply from the powered power tap is unstable. In other words, depending on the environment.You may be able to charge or not. On the other hand, the same tap will be powered by genuine AC without any problems).

　By the way, what happens in the case of a 1A output charger that is recognized as "not charged"?You can see that even if you use it for only 30 minutes, it will decrease slightly, and if you increase the screen brightness, you will have the impression that it will decrease even more.It is cruel.In 1A, it doesn't even work.Looking at the good results of the iPad charger, Anker is worried.Up to 2 per port.It can be output up to 4A, and all ports have a considerable output of 12A.However, if the output is too output, the protection circuit will work and the port will not be energized, so 2 of the genuine charger..5より0.Whether something happens 1a will happen.Bukkake, full full 2.I'm a little scared to output 4A.But insert it.Because it's work.

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

　You're doing it, Anker.Even after charging for several hours, it seems good to judge that it can be used for charging for the time being.

　The important point is that the price of the Surface 3 genuine AC adapter is 5162 yen.On the other hand, Anker is 2 each 2.4A output (up to 12A output), about 3600 yen.It is quite cheap.You can charge other smartphones and tablets while charging Surface 3, so it's a good idea to do it (the second time).For example, it seems wise to use Anker to use genuine ACs for home, office use, and on the go.

　今回の教訓は、「Surface 3に社外品のUSB充電器を使いたいときは、出力2A程度が必要出力2A以上が必要。電源環境によっては2.It will not be charged even with 1A output. "Please be careful.If you carry a Tekito USB charger for business trips and work, it will be a tearful situation.
