If your Fairphone charges slower than expected, a few simple checks can help restore standard charging speeds. Follow this guide to identify what is slowing down your charging process and resolve it quickly.

How to restore fast charging

• Plug your power adapter directly into a wall outlet rather than a computer USB port.
• Verify that your cable and charger meet the recommended power standards for your specific phone model.
• Clear dust or lint from the charging port of the phone using a can of compressed air.
• On Fairphone 5, check that fast charging is turned on in your settings:
  • Tap Settings → Battery & Charging.
  • Tap Charging mode and select Fast Charge.

Charging speeds automatically slow down once your battery reaches 80% to protect the long-term lifespan of your battery.
