Update - just charged from 0 to 100% in 2 hours

Update for anyone interested-

I tried with different wall chargers (especially 2 of Samsung's adaptive fast charging ones) but it still took 4-5 hours.

Above poster suggested you need a thicker beefier chunkier cable for fast charging, so I remembered the cable that came with Samsung NX1 was chunkier than any of my Galaxy phone cables.

After few trial and errors which included switching wall chargers, trying NX1, S7 edge, random brand cables etc, I found that the below combination gave me fastest charging time:

External battery power bank with high output (mine gives approx 2A) and original NX1 cable. I managed to charge in 2 hours.

For some reason when I connect the fast charging wall charger, the voltage is sub par maybe due to house wiring issues.
