Samsung Fast Charger not fast at all

I bought OEM Samsung Adaptive Fast Charger Micro USB 2.0 Cable 1 Wall Charger + 5 FT USB
https://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Samsun...var=431610610657&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649


I started charging my phone at 48% battery life, expecting to see 98% or 100% in 30 minutes. After 1 hour, it only charged to 64%. So I shut the phone off & charged, thinking that might make a difference. That only charged from 64% to 74% in 30 minutes. Does it actually have to start charging at 0%, to see the 50% "fast charge" in 30 minutes?
 
This what i see..ADAPTIVE FAST CHARGER • With this Samsung EP-TA20JWE Adaptive Fast Charging technology your battery can go from zero to up to 60% battery level in about 30 minutes, so you can charge up fast, even during shorter car rides. Works with Adaptive Fast Charging (AFC) compatible devices Sync and transfer files via Micro-USB data cable. Galaxy S7, S7 Edge, Note 4, Note Edge, S3, S4, S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge + Plus

Which would be about right.

plodr, thank you. Wish Samsung would've specifically explained that. I believe I bought a counterfeit from ebay but returned it. Charged only 12% in 30 minutes. And that's starting from 0% battery life. Now that I know, I don't need it, as I never let my phone drop down to 0% battery. Even then my regular charger is fast enough.
