default charger included with S3?

[Special K]

Could anyone with an S3 tell me the model number of the default wall charger that is included? I lost mine, need to buy a replacement, and am seeing several different model numbers that are listed as being compatible when I search. I'm just wanting to know what I had originally.

Thanks

Any current charger that supplies 2 Amps or more will do fine. You don't need to spend the $30 or so you're paying for the Samsung label on the original charger. You can get decent chargers for $5, and really good ones for a couple of dollars more. (The difference is in the quality of the plastic housing.) Anything less than $5 is probably not worth buying because the components in it are really cheap and may not last. I've been using vaious Chinese chargers with no name that I can find for a couple of years with no problems. (If the charger gets hot in normal use [like a few hours charging the phone], toss it, otherwise it should last longer than you will.)

I wouldn't bother buying a duplicate replacement from Samsung, the one that came with our phones is an acceptable 5.0 volt/1.0 amp but you can get a better power adapter from places like Amazon. Just look for something that supplies 2.0 amps, that will reduce your charging time. And most importantly, avoid the cheap ones, those typically contain lower-spec components inside. Some are just potential fire hazards but in any case those 'bargain bin specials' don't have very good voltage or amperage regulation.
