Galaxy Tab A 10.1 WiFi (2016) Charging slow

[Cryoman]

I have a Galaxy Tab A SM-T580. Since new it takes an absolute age to charge.

This morning it took 3 hours to go from 57% to 76%.

I am using the supplied Samsung charger and interconnecting cable and the tablet was switched off whilst charging was in progress.

Before I get in touch with Samsung Tech Support I just wanted to find out whether this was the norm.

I know its a completely different device but my Samsung A3 (2015) phone charges much faster, using the same charger and cable. (mini-usb plug is identical) so there does not seem to be a problem with the charger.

Android version is 6.0.1 (as supplied) Security patch is 1 January 2017.

Are you able to try an alternative official Samsung charger and it alternative wall socket.
