USB 2A charging requirements

drummerdimitri:
It is my understanding that most non-fast charging USB phones and devices can charge at a max rate of 2A and 5V from a USB socket.

If that is the case, what are the requirements to get faster than 0.5A charging which is standard on most USB 2.0 devices?

The reason I ask is because I am building my own power bank with 4 non-fast charging outputs but would like the ability to charge a device at its maximum rate will keeping the output voltage 5V.

Currently I am using short (20 cm) 24 AWG wires to wire up the USB plugs and very short and high quality USB cables to charge my Galaxy S10 but I am only able to charge it at around 500 mA when almost empty while a regular 2A USB wall charger could provide it with such current levels.

Is there some kind of handshaking process to allow for faster charging rates that I am not aware of?  :-//

Short the D+ and the D- (the middle pins) in the USB connector on the charger.

Thanks for that! I am only able to charge at 1A though.

Still not clear how to pull 2A from the port.
