Did you ever felt, that one Charger/USB cable set charges your device really fast and the other not? Now, you can prove this with Ampere.

Measure the charging and discharging current of your battery.

The app works only on Lollipop (Android 5.0+) devices.

Start the app and wait ca. 10 seconds ("measuring" is on the display). After this time, the charging or discharging current will be shown.

The current depends on many things:
- The charger (USB/AC/Wiereless)
- The USB cable
- The phone type
- Current tasks running

With this app you can for example search for an optimal charger/USB cable combo.

Technical info: The displayed current is an average value from 50 measurements minus the 10 upper values and the 10 lower values. The displayed current can be shaky or instable or even just zero which means, that the Android system provides such unstable values.
