    The main issue is such a big screen takes between 1 amp and 1.5 amps to run (depending on brightness) which is already half the chargers max output so not leaving much for the battery. There are some chargers and cables that work better than stock and lowering brightness also helps.

    Which charger and cable would YOU personally recommend for this case – do you mind giving us some links which YOU think is faster charger than the original one which came with Chuwi?

    I really need to buy it myself, thank you for your help! 🙂

    I bought an Orico charger on AliExpress that can charge while using though the cable is a little short so you can’t move the tablet much while charging and if you use a different cable it won’t work as well.

    Thank you for your link! I have a side question if you don’t mind:

    If you don’t use chuwi and have it turned off, how long does this charger take to charge chuwi from very low battery to full battery? Roughly? I just want to compare it to the original charger to see if that makes a big difference before buying, thank you in advance!

    Takes about 6 hours for full charge turned off but will also fully charge in standby overnight.

    Not to disappoint you, but I noticed that the bottom line is how much the tablet asks for power. I use the regular charger from Chuwi (3A), and a lot of different ordinary phone chargers, some even less than 1A, and all were capable of charging the tablet fast, or just not at all. It happened many times the Chuwi charger was not able to deliver more than .35A according to the charge indicator I attached between charger and usb-cable, while small ugly phone chargers from Huawei delivered .95A or something like that.

    I cannot see any logic in this world of chargers and batteries, its a very fuzzy thing to me.
