An embodiment of the invention discloses a quick charge recognition method and terminal equipment and is applied to the technical field of mobile communication. The method is applied to the terminal equipment supporting at least two quick charge protocols and comprises steps as follows: non-quick charge access points at charge interface D+ and D- ports of the terminal equipment are controlled to be connected with external charging equipment, whether the type of the external charging equipment belongs to a DCP mode is judged; if yes, quick charge access points at D+ and D- ports are controlled to be connected with the external charging equipment; the terminal equipment performs quick charge protocol handshake with the external charging equipment according to a preset quick charge protocol sequence, if handshake succeeds, the quick charge protocol which succeeds in handshake is used as a target quick charge protocol, the external charging equipment is controlled to be in an HVDCP charge mode, and charging is performed according to the target quick charge protocol. The quick charge recognition method can be compatible with multiple quick charge protocols, and the limitation during use of the quick charge technology by the terminal equipment is reduced.
