Hello,

 

I'm trying to find and buy a second fast charger for my Ultra2, but I can't seem to find a way. It's not listed on the Samsung website. I think the part number is GH96-22279A. As I understand it, other, earlier chargers are incompatible with the Ultra2. Is this true? Does anyone know how I can buy a charger?

    I don't know that the earlier chargers are completely incompatible. I have an older USB-C puck that I used for my Ultra 2024 watch. It still charges my Ultra 2, albeit maybeo slower.

    I also have an older USB-A puck, that had worked for my Ultra 2024, but that one flat out doesn't work for the Ultra 2.

    Got it. Well, being new to the product and not having any earlier generation chargers, I'll wait for the fast charging version to be available.

    This Thursday the 12th will make a week that I've been using it, and it charges to 100% pretty fast. I top it off every morning before I head out, and it hits 100% in less than 20 minutes. On a big workout day, the next morning it's down to 68%, but that's not really very different from my Forerunner 265. 

    I have to say, I'm thrilled with the product. The UI is so much friendlier than my Forerunner 265.

    The other puck I have that works for charging is part number GH96-17240A+RF7X6FA4AJ1RTA.

    But it only does regular charging, not fast charging. Trying it again this AM, my Ultra 2 reported it would take 1h13m with that puck. With the fast charging puck that came with the watch 41m.

    The old one isn't ideal, but it works as a backup if time isn’t a constraint.

    I generally do what you do and top it off every morning. But I will keep that other puck around until I get a second and toss the older USB-A.

    I have never owned a Forerunner 265, but have had a couple of other Garmin watches. While an overall good experience, the UI is a bit awkward.

    With both Samsung, Iphone, and iPad 12th Gen, i use any USBC3 female charger (wall-wart plugin) and male- male cable to get 2amp charging as fast as the receiving device can accept it. Make sure the charger is AC->2000mA DC. And your devices use least 1000mA DC

    I am using a Spigen PE201SU 45 watt charger with the Ultra2 puck which recharges the watch from 30% to 90% in a little over an hour.

    Thank you. You are correct, GH96-22279A is the part number. Can't seem to order it from Samsung. I'm guessing that they want to fulfill orders at the moment. I'll wait until that changes. It appears other charges will work, but at a slower charge rate.

    I'm having the same problem. I have the original ultra watch charger and it's not compatible with the new ultra 2 watch at all. Even best buy doesn't have one. I'm still looking myself.

    I just tried out another old charger and it works. Only because it's a type a fast charger I guess. But it's working.

    I am trying an Anker Nano 45w plug when I get my watch to see if it can do fast charging. Using the Samsung puck for the ultra 2, of course.

    FYI for those looking for a cable that works I previously had the ultra and purchase the following from Amazon below. When my ultra 2 arrived I tested the cable and it does charge without throwing the error but it is not fast charging , or at least doesn't say it's fast charging.
