Help Slow charging - low current

[Marko Pinteric]

We have Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S5 in my family.

We have bought Galaxy Note 2 about 1.5 years ago. For last few moths we have problems with this product - it seems that battery drains fast and charges slowly. I use original charger and I even switched chargers with the Galaxy S5 to no avail.

Now I also installed "Galaxy Charging Current". When using THE SAME charger on two different phones, I get respectable 1800 mA on Galaxy S5 and ONLY 400 mA on Galaxy Note 2. Why is that so? Does this mean the battery of Galaxy Note 2 should be replaced?

Thanks for help.

Does this mean the battery of Galaxy Note 2 should be replaced?

Probably. I got my Note 2 in March 2013, and had the same experience as you: after about 18 months, the battery was practically dead. I bought this replacement battery last November, and I'm happy to report that it works like a champ.
