i know most people will probably say that any car charger will work, but i'm against using cheap off brand chargers. i've read too many instances where off brand chargers over heated or over charged a phone batter. i have a oem motorola car charger for my droid x. i just got a razr maxx last weekend, and curious if the same charger will work with it.
this is the charger i have http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-MB810-Droid-Car-Charger/dp/B003VZQ5VE/ref=pd_cp_cps_1
and this is the charger they say is for the maxx http://www.amazon.com/Original-Vehicle-Battery-Charger-Verizon/dp/B007IJ82HE/ref=sr_1_13?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1354071848&sr=1-13&keywords=razr+maxx+charger
not sure if there is any difference. the droid x is labeled as "MB810". the maxx is "XT912"
I do not think that this will make any difference at all, unless the charger has less than 5V 0,75A (750mAh).
Btw, i had problems with my original motorola charger (and it broke too) that gave 5.1V 750mAh, and i'm using the HTC touch pro2 charger, and now i can use the phone while charging (as when i was using the old charger, my touchscreen was completely unusable).
What i'm saying with that: do not think that only because it has Motorola (or any other brand name, my sony ericsson charger gave me the same problem) it will give no problems. When something is cheap, it's cheap.

where do you guys buy wall charger for new razr EU TYPE?
i'm looking for one, since my device is on its way to me. i guess it is not necessary to look for charger for razr, 'coz chargers for older models (such photom atrix etc) will also work ?
I have multiple chargers and they all work with the Razr. It only needs to provide 500mA.
official razr charger has 850mA
so my 700mA will work without any problems i guess
Yeah 700mA will work, but anyway, don't expect it to charge your battery if you're watching a flash HD movie while calling
Seriously, it'll work, but the battery will charge slowly compared to its 850mA charger.
I ever use my 1A HTC wall charger for all of my phones (SGS2, ATRIX, ...RAZR). It won't blow up anything, but that prevents a slow charge if you're playing on your phone while charging it
so where i can find 850mA?/0.85A so i can play/call/watch/have sex/take shower while charging ???
searched whole internet...

No need for a new charger, just buy an adaptor for it and don't use other brand chargers with any motorola phones.

original moto charger for europe

This by far is the best charger that I've ever used for a car charger. It charges very fast and it's it's cool looking. It may not be OEM Samsung. But it's Motorola which is reputable. I use my HTC EVO charger for my Note. I don't think it really matters.

Seriously? There are a dozen car charger threads. Yes, this one is a good charger, good cable, good connector, however it does not charge "very fast" as it only outputs 850mA and the Note can take 1000mA.
I switched chargers because my battery would slowly drop on the moto charger, although I'm about to go back, as every other charger is inferior in some other way, such as the 2 port charger that people seem to like here that's complete trash.. It falls out of the port constantly, and I don't want to start kludging it with tape or other nonsense.
The Moto is the best that I've found. I once bought a HTC EVO car charger from ebay that looked OEM but it was nothing more than China junk. This moto charger is 100% OEM and it comes from a seller in USA.
It'd be cool if it had an extra USB port that my current car charger has.

Is it safe to charge a Motorola Droid Razr with a LG charger which has the following specs:
Output: 4.8V-1A
I mean, will it be safe for the battery like its life and other things?
Standard USB chargers should work with all phones with microusb

No, definitly not. Motorola oem charger is 5.1V and 850 mA. You might not notice anything wrong with the batttery in short term but it might cause damage in long term. Plus, motorola have never been the brand that offered compability to other brand accessories.
well this is depressing to read, the charger that came with my razr a year ago was lost about a year ago. i've used probably 20 different usb chargers from different phones but all were older so i assumed the lower amps / volts wouldn't hurt anything, that only a higher amps / volts could potentially harm the battery.
i do remember the charger that came with it had 2 usb ports on it but it was so weak that it could never charge a second device plugged into it
No dude, if it's higher, the phone will only pull the amount necessary. USB is a universal standard. You're fine, no need to worry. If something uses MicroUSB, then it's universal. USB= Universal Serial Bus. Your phone is safe
Edit: For the record, when I had the Droid RAZR, I used everything from the stock OEM charger, to Samsung and everything in between, including an LG charger.
Hey people,
It doesn't mean it's safe to use another brand chargers if your phone didn't get any kind of damage. My xt910's digitizer went weird after i had to charge it for 30 minutes with a genuine htc charger. My atrix's digitizer didn't work while it was plugged into a nokia micro usb oem charger. A motorola phone should be charged with an oem motorola charger, not a stupid lg charger. Micro usb itself is a standart but it doesn't mean you can use anything that fits into the slot safely !
Your phone will be fine

I think it will be fine, I charge my phone with my sister's Galaxy Nexus charger and nothing has happened so far.
USB always uses around 5 volts and the 1A means that your battery will charge faster than using the regular 850mAh motorola charger.

Hello all,
Anyone tried the 5600 mAh external battery from Power Bank with the Razr MAXX?
I know the story with "charge the maxx only with its own charger" but I do not really know the specific parameters of the charger or if this external battery can damage battery life. From what I know the original charger has output of 5V/850mAh and this one 5V/1A. But I do not know if this can have a bad impact on the battery. For me, all batteries and microUSB charger are standard. So it should be no problem. The story with original one is just "marketing" for Motorola to sell its own accesories.
Link to the external battery I am talking about:

I have been charging my Maxx with many wall chargers beside the OEM one for over a year now. I've used the one that came with my Nook, the one that cane with my HTC Droid Incredible, and a couple of others. No problems on that front.
I also own a portable battery charger device (10,000 mAh one by Anker) and use it on a regular basis since December. No problems so far with it.

hi all, few days ago' i bought a used dna without charger and cable
i tried to use my old charger but it charge really slow so im looking for a good charger and cable with european plug
any suggested brand?
ps: the original charger of the phone is 1A?
Just buy one online that says OEM that way you get the original charger. It is 1A yes. Nearly all smartphones charge at that rate.
