Where to buy a replacement charger !? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

My charger broke can anyone recommend where to get a replacement please. Google apparently sells them for at least 30 pounds. Can anyone please recommend a cheaper alternative which does work in terms of fast charging please?

Try Amazon

Not all type c provides fast charg it needs to be type c to c also capable to provide above 15w (5v * 3A)

Yes this. Although, my Nexus 5X one which is 5v3a does fast charge pretty much the same as the stock Px8el 2 XL one. The Pixel 2 XL has been restricted and doesn't take advantage of it's 9v2a charger rating.

You either just paid or are in the process of paying off a near $1,000US (£750) device. Do you really want to risk damage to your home or the device because you want to save a pound?
Spend the £30 or so and get the correct charger.

Have you tried asking Google for a replacement charger under warranty?

True but any 15w USB power adapter and a USB-C cable should do the job just fine. It's never been an issue for me.

Not all USB-C cables are the same. The one we need has to be at least USB-C 2.0. The effects from using the wrong spec cable are unknown to me, but I'm not about to find out either. The potential for damaging the device is why I spent the extra money and got an Anker 6' cable that matches the specs of the 3' cable included with my charger.

Some good info here.

Yh for sure as long as type a to c can deliver 15w it will do the job but not all type a to c can thats why i recommend type c to c for its capability.

I always go with either Goggle directly or the Anker ones that have PD enabled for faster charging.

Yes u can use VOOC charger as dash charger, you only need to convert the cable end, from micro to usb C
Am using VOOC powerbank (batt pack) with usb c converter, and it charge my OP3 in dash speed (3000++mAh charging rate)

I'm afraid using an adapter would kill your charging speed (reduce to normal speeds).
You need compatible cable for DASH/VOOC speeds - mainly because they are thicker than normal ones. Well, any standard micro USB to Type-C is not designed for such high amperage and it becomes the weak link here. The phone will think you're using a normal cable and won't pull more than 1.5A through.
Tl;dr: you need a DASH/VOOC Type-C cable, no adapters.

I would rather not use that even if it works, you risk frying something.
Those adapters are designed fur 1A, not 4 ... That's a huge difference.

I don't have any charger actually, I use my laptop to charge it which is very slow, and I don't want my laptop on for whole night. so I needed a charger badly. as there is no dash cable here I have to order it and as for now have to use the ordinary usb-c cable for the phone.
You can use any wall charger with 1a, 2a. It will not charge Fast as Dash, but faster than the laptop.

USB type C cables and chargers

This will be my first usb type c device. I'm sure a lot of you are upgrading from the original pixel. Can you guys recommend cables and chargers that you have used that you liked? I'm sure there are a bunch of people in my situation it can help to stock up on this stuff before the phone comes. And yes I know there is a list of approved cables, etc.
I'd look at Anker or Aukey for chargers. They should have a couple PD-2 chargers. They also sell the required cables.
The Pixel 2 XL will come with cables and a charger in the box though.

I would never get a cheap Chinese/no name version. From what I've read, if it doesn't have a 56ohm resistor, it has damaged phones.
You can also check on Amazon and read reviews from those who have purchased. Not worth saving a few bucks to potentially damage your $900+ phone.

If its OEM, I don't think there will be any issues. I'm sure people may have multiple USB-C items and I'm sure these news outlet and reviewers have multiple USB-C cables and plugs that they just use the same one over and over.
DO not get any usb c cable/charger so many of them don't follow the standards
Only get one that has been tested
bad cables and charger in best case can charge slowly
in worst case can damage the phone or explode
follow https://plus.google.com/collection/s0Inv
and only use good cables
from the top of my head, the good ones are from

As far as I can tell, Benson Leung finds issues with every Aukey product he reviews. I'm contemplating the BlitzWolf BW-S10, as I've had no issues with the BW-S5 or BW-CB3, and their reputation appears to be clean. The supplied cable is USB-C to USB-C, right?

What spec car charger is required for the Pixel 2 XL? I currently use a Scosche ReVolt Dual with 12W/2.4A per port that works well with my Pixel XL. But it won't charge my Pixel 2 XL at all.

I just don't believe this phone charges very fast which is making me change my style of charging. I normally only charged on the way to work and way home (20 min each way) with my S8+ and kept it above 90% normally but this one is so slow charging using Waze for traffic I might have to charge at office or home
The Belkin car charger that Google sells on their site is available on Amazon for $17. That's what I got and it works great.

I finally broke down and asked Google Pixel 2 support. "Richard" said that the 2 XL needs 15W and 2A minimum to charge.
That page you gave doesn't show your charger's output per port. But assuming all of them are equal, it only gives 13.5W per port. Not enough for the 2 XL.
I bought 2 of these last night. Great limited time price last night

Hi kapapunk,
I bought this, Anker Quick Charge 3.0:
https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B01CHYHUEU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have to say that I had to change it because it dind't work fine.
I haven't already change it but I think I'll buy an Anker with Quick Charger.
Did you have other charger or cable?
Bye!

Hello friends, I bought a new Pixel 2 XL behind a seller, the same sent an OEM charger sold at Amazon. Some users commend, and others speak poorly. I plan on paying $ 35 and buy the official charger directly from the Google store. I do not think of paying for an Aukey or Choetech at the moment. Despite being great chargers, compatible with PD 18w. Is this Type C Type C cable from Google that comes with the charger good? I visualized type C 3.1 cables with certification recommended by a Google engineer, plus the cable itself of the company do not know if it is good.
About the OEM loader that I have, it would be the one according to the link ..
Google USB-C Charging Rapidly Charger for 2nd & 3rd Gen Pixel devices (18W 3A Charger + 3 Foot USB-C, C-C Cable) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MR7M2I5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_OLC9BbGQMCT3N
The Google OEM charger is probably the best USB PD charger for this phone. It definitely supports the 9V profile needed to quick charge the P2XL. Don't get too excited, though. You'll never see anything close to 18W of charge. It's capped at ~10.5W at the phone, supposedly to eke out a little more longevity from the battery. I measured it myself with an inline USB-C power meter. Who knows if this is actually effective? OnePlus certainly doesn't seem to care about increasing current draw. They've charged at [email protected] since the OnePlus 3 and I haven't heard any reports of premature battery degradation yet.
Bro i live in italy too. Any 9v charger will do. And for cables. Buy aukey from amazon. Hehe.. I have lots of type of cables tho.
Ciao

Original charger

Guys how many watts charger you got in a box ?
I believe the cable is USB type C to USB type C ?
65W or 55W powersupply?
I waiting my phone and would like to order original charger....because im located in US but phone from UK....I don’t like any converters
Ok inside is 65W charger and Usb type c to type c. I don’t know why huawei is saying 55W charger
I ordered the correct charger from https://liaow.com/. The charger in the box for the UK version only works in UK electrical only.
I have a 40 watt Huawei charger I purchased on Amazon that works fine and is fast but I wanted the best.

Here in Russia it comes with a 40w USB-a charger. Pretty heavy though.
I charge it with a 65w USB-C from Baseus. Same way i charge my notebook. Pretty quick.

Not everywhere, got this in Europe.

Becasue while the charger is capable of 65W the phone only takes up to 55W from it.

Certified to 55w but i want to see numbers to be honest....i feel it go up to 65
I have actually measured the 55W myself. Didn't go above, and of course didn't stay there for very long either, power goes down quick as charge and temp goes up.
