Is Your Charger Slowing Down Your Phone? How to Choose the Right Charger for Your TECNO, Infinix, or itel Phone
Have you noticed your phone charging slower than usual? Does your TECNO, Infinix, or itel smartphone take a bit too long to reach 100%? If yes, your charger might be the culprit. While slow charging can sometimes be due to battery health, background apps, or software issues, using the wrong charger is one of the most common reasons why your device isn’t charging at its optimal speed.
If you are using a non-genuine or low-quality charger, you could be harming your phone more than you realize. As the official service provider for TECNO, itel and Infinix, we bring you this expert guide on how to choose the genuine and right charger for your phone.
The Problem: Why Your Phone is Charging Slowly
Every smartphone is designed to work best with a specific type of charger that provides the correct voltage and current. When you use a charger that is not suited for your device, it can lead to slow charging, overheating, and even long-term battery damage. Cheap, unverified chargers often have lower power output, which means they take much longer to charge your phone. Even worse, these chargers might not have proper safety mechanisms, increasing the risk of short circuits or overheating, which can damage your phone’s internal components.
In many cases, smartphone users unknowingly use chargers that are not optimized for their device. This includes using an old charger from a different brand, buying third-party chargers from unreliable sources, or even using a counterfeit charger that claims to be ‘fast charging’ but does not meet the required specifications.
Why You Should Avoid Duplicate or Non-Genuine Chargers
Many people turn to third-party chargers because they are cheap and easily available. However, using non-genuine chargers can have serious consequences. Fake or low-quality chargers often lack essential safety features like overvoltage protection, temperature control, and stable power output. This means your phone could be subjected to fluctuating currents, causing overheating, battery swelling, and even permanent damage to the charging port or motherboard.
Another major risk of using counterfeit chargers is reduced battery lifespan. Batteries have a limited charge cycle, and when they are charged inefficiently with an incorrect power output, they degrade much faster. You might start noticing that your phone’s battery drains quickly, doesn’t hold a charge for long, or even shuts down unexpectedly.
Moreover, counterfeit chargers can be a safety hazard. Reports of phone explosions, electrical fires, and damaged devices due to low-quality chargers are not uncommon. Investing in a genuine charger may seem like a small thing, but it can protect both your phone and your safety.
How to Choose the Right and Genuine Charger for Your TECNO, Infinix, or itel Device
When choosing a charger for your smartphone, it is crucial to select one that is officially recommended by the brand. TECNO, Infinix, and itel design their chargers to match the specific power requirements of their devices, ensuring safe and fast charging. Here’s how you can identify and buy the right charger:
- Check the Power Rating: Always check the voltage (V) and current (A) rating of your original charger and match it with the replacement you are buying. If your phone supports fast charging, ensure you get a charger that meets the required wattage.
- Look for Official Branding: Genuine chargers from TECNO, Infinix, and itel come with official branding and manufacturer details. If a charger doesn’t have clear branding, it is likely to be a counterfeit.
- Buy from Official Carlcare Service Centers: Carlcare is the official service provider for TECNO, Infinix, and itel. When you purchase your charger from an authorized Carlcare center, you are assured of getting an original product that meets the required standards.

- Check for Safety Certifications: Authentic chargers come with safety certifications that ensure they have passed necessary quality checks. Look for labels like CE, RoHS, or BIS certification, which indicate that the charger is tested for safety and efficiency.
