Hello everyone,

I was wondering if we should only charge the Sense on a computer USB port?

Can we charge also the watch on an iPhone / Samsung Fast charger instead of plugging it every time on a computer's usb? Does this have a long term impact on the battery life etc? Thanks

I would, the Sense has a quick charging circuit and needs to be plugged into a fast charger. 

I'm told a 15 minute charge will add a day of power. 

 

Actually I haven't ever used a PC USB port. The amount of over current supplied will not affect the charging rate. 

Even the control circuit on the Charge an Charge HR could have an input between 4 and 35 volts.
