It's possible that your current charger isn't charging your phone or tablet as fast as it could be. Here are some useful tips how to charge your phone or tablet faster.
Here are some technical infos about charging:
You've probably noticed that your phone will charge much slower when it's connected to a PC or laptop's USB port than when it is to a mains power adaptor. And you may have noticed your phone will charge faster when connected to the charger that came with your tablet. That's because different chargers have different power outputs.
While a PC's USB port is specified at 2.5W for USB 1.0 and 2.0 and 4.5W for USB 3.0 (so always use a USB 3.0 port in preference to USB 1.0 or 2.0 when available), a phone charger might be rated at 5W and a tablet charger 10W, for example.
We calculate the wattage by multiplying the current (the number of amps) and the voltage. So, if your charger is specified at 5V, 1A, it can supply 5W. If it is specified at 5V, 2A it can supply 10W.

How to charge your smartphone faster:
You can use any USB charger with any phone, with the only caveat that if there isn't sufficient power available you may find your device won't charge - this is often the case with iPads, which will not charge from a PC's standard USB port.
Note that your device will draw only the power it requires. If you plug a 10W charger into a phone that accepts only 5W, it will still draw just 5W and won't charge any faster than it would with a lower-specified charger.
However, many phones will accept a higher input. Check the specifications of your phone and your charger now to see whether you could be benefitting from faster charging.
What else can you do?
Several tips are often there that claim how to allow for faster charging. One of those is to remove phones back . I'm not convinced by the success of this tip, although by avoiding excessive heat build-up you will prolong the life of your device's battery, allowing it to operate at maximum performance for longer maybe.
Most useful tip is to put your phone into Flight mode or switch it Off during charging. This may charge your device quicker because it isn't busy doing any other tasks that would otherwise place a drain on the battery.

Or you can simply buy some power bank external battery and use it in the time of need. :-)
