Anyone been able to find a genuine Asus Car charger? I have several DC to USB adapters but when I plug them in the Prime doesn't register a charging battery. There are after market ones but I'm afraid they may not work like the ones I have tried.
Most car chargers are in the 5V range, while the Transformer Tablets need a 12V charger. Not sure where to find those though, but I've never looked. I just use an inverter and whichever AC charger I need if I'm in need of power.

I purchased the one from Amazon and when I plug it into my Prime, the prime locks up. Has anyone else encountered this?

The Prime needs 15v in order to register charging status. Most care adapters will only deliver 5v since that is the voltage expected by most USB devices. The Prime will charge from 5v however the device will need to be completely turned off, and it will take a long time (~20ish hours) to go from depleted to full charge.
I don't know if there are any 12v to USB adapters that will really meet the power requirements for full-charging the Prime because the Prime's power requirements are fairly unique. If you really need to charge your Prime from your car you might be better off using the Prime's normal charger with something like this: http://www.amazon.com/BESTEK-inverter-motolora-blackberry-notebook/dp/B003Q54V88/ref=pd_sbs_sg_1
They are available on ebay, you will probably have to import one from hong kong, it is essentially a 12V to usb adaptor, the one I bought was packed with a asus plug aswell. It puts 12volts onto the usb adaptor.
The prime does not need 15V to charge, it will charge at about 11.8. Mine charges fine in my car with the engine running i.e alternater putting out 13.2 volts but the prime starts spitting a dummy when the engine stopped as the battery voltage is right on the threshold. The only way around is to shut down the prime before stopping the engine and then it will happily continue charging on ~12 volts.
The Prime requires 15v to charge at a normal rate. It will charge at 12v albeit at a slower rate. Normal USB output is 5v.

Hence this one feeds 12V to usb rather than 5V

Yes, I bought the same one and my Prime locks up and reboots a few times. Never tried it again after it did that.
I played around with the cable which came with the car adapter and found that it would not work with the transformer prime. I hope to test the cable with came with the TP and the car adapter. Will report my findings later.

I did this test this morning (using actual asus cable) and my Prime just went into a reboot loop. i was able to get it back after a while. I'm returning mine. I don't think this item should be on the accessory list. Unless i just got a bad one...

I hacked one together based on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087321
I used the 100W transformer pictured towards the bottom. It also has a regular USB so I can charge two things at once.
I'm glad I carry a dc-ac converter in my car. Just need to get another cable / adapter.

So my charger isn't charging correctly, and I figured I'd try the Dynex universal charger. I wasn't up for soldering and measuring voltages, etc. Best Buy wanted $30 for it, but I found it on an amazon store for $6.50!

It just arrived and it's charging my TF + dock perfectly. I heard it charges a hair slower than the stock charger, but I don't mind. I also got an RMA for my ASUS charger, so now I can send it back to be fixed.
There are so many people are complaining about the charging issue that it sounds like a flawed design by ASUS. What I don't understand is: Why would anyone take a chance buying a new stock ASUS charger for $30+ when it might also be faulty? Especially when you can get one of these Dynex chargers for almost 1/6th the price!
Very.cool if this offer is here next week Ima try it ty

I wouldnt wait around if you want it at this price. There's only 2 left in stock!
I picked up this same charger for around the same price a few months ago. It has worked flawlessly. Now I would just like to purchase the Asus usb cable without the AC plug.
That's a good deal!
I called asus earlier today and got an rma for my charger. About an hour ago I tested another charger and I think I found out its the cable.
With the other charger, my cable didn't charge but with the other cable and my charger, it worked.

This might be better item than you realize.
The voltage switch you see in the picture is disconnected from the wall plug piece. The wall plug piece is 15v and has a 6 foot wire to 5.5mm barrel plug, e.g. almost perfect for the TF101.
If you convert the connector to female USB you can plug the TF 40 pin USB cable directly into the wall plug piece, because you do not need the voltage switch and tips. The converter is difficult to find but I have found them on ebay.
Once I realized this information, I also found the wall plug 15v items separately on ebay.
However, the voltage switch and tips are very nice for charging other stuff, like iphone, cell phone, other tablets, etc., at 5v.
Just to make sure I understand this correctly....does this replace my ac plug if say i lose the plug and this will actually plug into my TF (since it uses a proprietary connection) or do I still need that connection and can use this for something else?
I saw this at walmart about a month ago for like $15. I had it in my cart and at checkout I took it out because I "felt" I wouldn't need it and wanted to save the money. Lol.
It definitely looks like a useful thing to have around the house.

Yep, you can buy the barrel to female USB on eBay. Check the diy charger thread for links and info on polarity. I was going to buy this from best buy when my charger first started acting up but I found a similar one in my garage! Now just waiting on my barrel to female USB to come in :-D

You still need the Asus USB cable that came with your tf. This just provides a 15v USB plug which is hard to find as most are only 5v and the tf needs above 11v to charge.

Right, that is it. There are lots of resellers on ebay.
Almost everything using USB is 5v -- EXCEPT the ASUS TF101 which puts 15v on the standard USB power lines. In my opinion, the cable shown can easily & safely handle the power levels. Just make sure nothing else (e.g. 5v stuff) gets plugged into the female USB socket at 15v.

Just search "dx-ua" on ebay or google. Lots more on the web.
I've seen a little chatter on the New Trent battery packs, but haven't seen this issue, so I wanted to see if I can figure out what's up.
I've had the IMP500 (5000mAh) for 3 or 4 months and really like it in general. Well, the little micro USB adapter has a little too much play and after 30 or so plug ins and outs it has a hard time maintaining a connection, to the point where it's almost unusable.
When I use the included wire, it shows up as AC charging. But, if I use a 'real' USB cable, it shows up as USB... which as we know can't provide a positive charge while using.
I know about the whole shorting of the 2/3 pins to force an AC charge, and I can see the mechanics that give me AC with the New Trent wire. But it would appear that I'm out of luck without getting a new one of those.
Anyone know of a USB wire that will force AC charging?

No, because any cable that shorts 2-3 isn't a USB cable, just as a charger that doesn't isn't a USB charger. They simply don't meet the specifications. If they're labeled "USB" anything, call the manufacturer and complain.

One can buy chargers from reputable companies which follow the USB charging specification for under $10 (car or AC). Why mess with non-standard chargers and cables which are no cheaper, from bit players?
Back when I got my Dinc, I bought like 10 of these, they were actually on special for like $2.99 ea.. they are now close to $5 (amazon prime free shipping).

Have you guys heard of Mediabridge? I got one of their ethernet cables, but now it's the only brand I buy when it matters. If anyone is still looking for a charging only cable, they have a long 6 ft. cable and a coiled cable - though they do have sync cables with the same stats too (and cheaper).
Here are the charging only cables from Amazon:
Oops, I guess I do too much lurking and not enough posting because it tells me I can't post outside links until I've had 10 submissions.
Simply do an Amazon search for Mediabridge USB Charging Cable and they should be the first 2 results that show. You can compare them with the data/sync cable because the data cable is a single color where the charging only has a dark cable and light grey terminals.
If you're interested in the data/sync cables you can find them under Mediabridge Hi-Speed USB 2.0
If you're using a wall charger or a car charger, either modify the cable (not ideal) or the charger itself (more ideal) to short the D-/D+ pins. When the phone detects the data pins shorted together it assumes it's connected to an AC charger. If you do this to a cable, make sure that only the micro-USB end is shorted and cut the wires so the USB A end isn't shorted.
Many PC USB ports are limited to 500mA draw anyway.

I just ordered this one.
Input: 10~16V
Output: 15V 1.2A.
Cable length: app 1.5M (4.9feet).
From the pictures it looks like it has an extra USB connector for your other devices, like your phone or whatever. Can't really tell if that extra USB connector outputs the same power? Will 15V be overkill for my phone?

hello, i would like to say, the car charger only have charging function, it's do not have any usb port.
as something still unclear, i would like to give tested answer.
Not sure how they are claiming 15v output when most vehicle systems are 12v?? The alternator may be putting out slightly higher voltage to charge the car's battery but all you should be seeing at the accessory terminals in 12v
Personally, I use a "GTMax Metalic Red 2-Port USB Car Charger" from Amazon with my usb cord. That charger has two usb ouputs, one rated 1 amp that can be used with most cell phones and the other output rated at 2.1 amps for tables. Cost was only $8 and if you want, you can pick up another usb charging cord for around $6

Seriously? Just because you can't figure it out doesn't mean it can't be done. Spark plug voltage is 20,000 volts.
The Power supply socket in the car will output 12v which will certainly work. 5 - 11v = Trickel charge. 11 - 15v = fast charge.

The fact that the car battery is rated for 12vdc means nothing(while charging 14.4vdc). You can convert any voltage to another voltage with a step up/down converter. Only thing to keep in mind is current usage, ie. 50vdc with 100watts converted to 100vdc would = 50watts usable for the most part.

The problem with power supply is ampers, intensity is low in car!

That could be because you had a low amp charger. The same happened to my SGSII with a regular .5A charger, but I got a 1A one that could keep it from discharging.
Read through al the other charging issues posted and can't find one like mine. So here is my issue.
Prime been working wonderfully then yesterday was on it watching netflix videos and while plugged in it kept loosing charge until it was down to 5% on tablet and 0% on dock. So I shut it down and left it plugged in all day. The battery icon showed the lightning on it stating it was charging but after sitting for about 4 hours nothing. still showed about 6% charge on the tablet and 0% on the dock. So I tried another outlet and eventually left it plugged in all night well this morning still only about 15% charge on the tablet and 0% on the dock.
Going to try again and leave it turned off all day and see if it charges, will report back in 3 hours on my lunch break to see if anything changes. The prime recognizes when the charger is plugged in and when I unplug it I get the message that it is low on battery. Here's a screen shot of it stating it is charging.
Also note: Neither light on the power button or on the dock is on while plugged up but yet it shows charging on the lock screen.
Edit: plugged in directly to tablet to wall and only has gone up to 8% charged. Seems something wrong somewhere. Tested charger on SGS and it works, hopefully just the cable gone bad. Will order new one to see if that works, but until then no prime for me. :crying:

Update: Have had prime plugged into wall completely turned off. Still no light on the dock plug in or on the tablet itself and now after 6 hours it is only 7% charge. This is pissing me off.
If you have a test device try to check the delivered voltage from charger, if it's correct it' s a hardware **** in Prime, or a bad connector in cable.

The Prime charger delivers 5v when another non-Transformer device is connected. Otherwise they could not use an USB standard connector for the charger
Found out issue. It was my power brick. It is not bad it is just doing a trickle charge to the prime for some reason. Here's how I figured it out.

Hey guys, just wanted to know if anyone could recommend a brand that offers 2.0 quick charge on the go. I did some homework and the names Powermod and PureGear seem to pop up the most. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
I had the powermod and it was slightly too small for my car outlet so if you bumped it then it would stop charging. I think I had a lemon but anyway I bought the incipio one and haven't looked back
Also, can I use any USB cable to receive the turbo charge? I'd hate to keep hauling around cables from my house back into my car.

I have this and it's great. It's got a very low profile, came with a flat cable, has an LED light (albeit not very visible), and definitely charges quickly. Highly recommended.

Can you post a picture of the cable? Do they sell it separately? I was going to buy that one but it was hard to find back when I got my original QC 2.0 charger on early December.

This might work for me as well

Here's some pictures for you guys. Can't say enough good things. And I'm not sure if you can get the cable on it's own.

I'm using this one.
It's the Nexus version with a maximum output of 4.000 mA.

That's not a quick charge 2.0 charger its just a regular car charger.

I use this one as well. Any USB cable will work. I tried an old ASUS cable with my wife's Note 4 and it said a quick charger was enabled. That flat gray cable it comes with is really stiff and I drive a manual so it was always getting in my way when shifting. I switched to an old USB cable I have that's more floppy.
This doesn't sit flush with the port though even though the design makes it kind of look like it does. It sticks out about a centimeter or so. It would be super hard to get out of the vehicle if it sat flush.
Thanks for all the replies! i've decided i'm gonna go with the PureGear

Pretty cheap on amazon and I like the design, will report back with my opinion on how it works
Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but does anyone know a very good quick charge 2.0 car charger with at least 2 USB ports? One port could be quick charge 2.0 and the other port could be normal or whatever.
I saw the choe one that has 4 points but its getting mixed reviews and I don't think I really need 4.
Thanks guys.
Yes just buy a power converter and use the OEM wall fast charger that came with phone.
Definitely not trying that in my car....
There made for cigarette lighters. Its perfectly normal. Most new cars have them built in.
I wanted to get the Ventev dashport charger, but they seem to be out everywhere, or ridiculously expensive in the places that do have them.
I want to try and get one thats as flush with the socket as possible, because theres already very little room in that spot in my car.
Found these two:
Aukey 4.8A / 24W Dual USB Car Charger Adapter for Apple and Android Devices (The Smallest but Most Powerful Car Charger in the World)
SCOSCHE USBC242M 12 Watt USB Car Charger for iPhone/iPad/iPod Lightning/Micro
I admittedly don't know much about, and neither of these are QC2. I was just wondering if anyone has used, or knows if they would work good. Would there be much of a diff between them and a QC2 one?
