So I've been thinking - the TF has a power requirement of 5V/15v at 2/1.2A, which is the same requirement as the ipad. Really wouldn't see any reason why this wouldn't work so long as the charger has a usb port and you use your OEM cable.
Much easier finding chargers for ipads than the TF, for now. Have some home and car chargers on order and will post results later.
TF's charger requirement is 15V.

best buy has a usb charger that you can get, its called a dynex ultimate charger for cameras and camcorders. its like 30 bucks and charges at 11 volts / 1.5 amps. it works great. I had to get one when my usb charger melted. Its the only one that I have found to work. I tried around 30 of them lol

That was the first time I plugged the Transformer in. I didn't even get a full charge out of the thing.
The transformer charger can shift between [email protected] or [email protected]
I have confirmed with my multimeter that the voltage is 5V when charging the transformer
The [email protected] is to charge the keyboard dock, but do not own one to confirm
You can use other chargers, its just Asus's stupid smart charger makes the charging indicator comeup when using the official charger, it also chargers faster, need someone with an electrical background and an oscilloscope to probe it out
I have been meaning to do a test on charging times with different chargers
Overall, as long as the charger is [email protected] under (ex. [email protected]) It will charger, the Transfromer will not show it, but if you check on it the percentages goes up
Ipad chargers are at [email protected] so give it a try
looks like the ac adapter is available online...

Wonder if it would be safe to charge iPhone and iPad through Asus "block".
I plugged my iphone 4 into the Asus block and it seems to charge fine. How safe it is, is another question entirely, but I can confirm it does charge the phone, and the thing didn't spontaneously explode or anything

I had reservations on getting the dynex charger but I hate only having charger for any unit I have. I bought it as a backup and cord lenght...lenght is very good. I received the transformer the next day from Amazon and saw the shortness of the stock cable. Brought out the dynex charger set it at. 11 volts and plugged it in and Viola...charges. 11 volts is lower then 15 but it still managed to charge from 29 percent to 100 in a acceptable and fairly good pace. I now use this charger over the stock because the stock charger gets really hot if used for a long time and I really don't feel comfortable. Using it.

I noticed that too but when I plug it in at night the next morning it's cool. I guess it heats up only when actively charging. Towards the end it should go down to trickle or no charge at all.

Has this been confirmed? I've tested voltage from a USB 3.0 cable from the Asus AC charger and saw 8V. I'll be testing while connected to the tablet once I get my extension cable in. Thread link in signature
I've read through the threads detailing the voltage and amp requirements to charge the tranformer, but to be honest, all this stuff is over my head. I'm going away later tonight. Can someone confirm if this can charge the Transformer or not? Thanks in advance.

The best route, at the moment, is to buy an inverter and plug your charger into that.

The tablet without dock charges at 5 Volts, 2 Amps. The dock charges at 15 Volts 1.2 Amps. I reckon this should work to charge the tablet. Please let me know if you decide to buy and if it works or not. Wonder if it's available in the UK.

No that will not work, its a 5V adapter and you need 11-15V.
It's not difficult to put together a car charger all you need is a few parts to make it work. I've laid out a charger and an adapter to charger from your car in my DIY charger thread. Don't let the DIY scare you, the parts you need are off the shelf and you don't have do modify anything. Head over to my thread and if you have any questions post them there. If you get a generic car DC adapte that has multiple plug adapters you just have to add a barrel to usb adapter which I have a link posted to Ebay where you can order it for about $4 shipped.

both tablet and dock charge at 15v 2 amps max. That adapter will charge battery, but will take all day with tablet off.
so in other words it can sustain but not fully charge

No. You'll need 11V+ to charge while using the device. You can only charge with normal usb2.x(5V) while the device is off. Also be prepared for it to take all day.
Devcake has the right idea, and his thread is certainly worth a look. Or for no fuss get a 175W inverter.

No and Yes. The USB ports on that adapter will supply 5V which will not work. The barrel connect will supply 12 which will work but you will have to make or find a barrel connector the same size as the one on that adapter to USB female. I have an example of what you need for a car adapter in my DIY charger thread. Check it out.

Hey, not trying to be a D, but this question should have been posted in the DIY charger thread. Clearly you were aware of it before making the new thread. All new threads do is make a mess, DevCake has been great about answering questions in his thread.
If you are looking for a car charger pretty much any USB iPad or iPad2 car charger is going to fit the bill. They have pretty much the same charging requirements as Android tablets.
Kensington PowerBolt Duo or PowerBolt Micro on Newegg for example. Look under the specs and you'll see it provides a 2.1amp port with a Output Voltage Range: 10 V DC to 18 V DC. You obviously won't need the charge cable that comes with it.

Not true. TF101 requires 11 volts but only about 800 or so ma, ipods/pads requre only 5v with a higher 2 amps.

dcmtnbkr is right, that adapter will not work. The confusion most people have is when they read 10-18V which is the input. Below are specs on that adapter
* 3.1 Amps total
* Input: 10V-18VDC
* Output (30pin/USB): 5VDC-3100mA
5 Volts DC is the output which will not work. You need 11-15V Output to charge the TF.

I have this cable but it hasn't worked with quick charge 2.0 for me. I think quick charge requires the data line to work so that it doesn't kill the battery on the phone (i.e. the charger and phone need to communicate). This cable does work AMAZING on regular chargers though.

longer increases resistance and lowers cable ability. Now the difference between 3-6 ft is miniscule at best, certainly not something you'll easily notice. I need to also clarify that the cable works with a quick charge 2.0 charger, it just doesn't actually quick charge, only does a standard charge speed which is why I think it needs the data line.
How do these Monoprice "standard cables" compare to the previously mentioned "premium cables"?

I have a stock Samsung cable ( pretty long) from a note 4 that works great plugged into my nexus charging block. charges just as fast as normal
Probably because the note has quick charge

Did a test with the Monoprice cable in the link and the stock USB cable that came with the N6. I let my battery get to 5% remaining both times and checked the percentages at a few intervals. I charged the phone with the power on, and only got on the phone to check the percentage rate. I waited till the lock screen said "Charged" to get the final time. Here's the times and percentages I got.
Monoprice:
20 min - 32%
30 min - 43%
60 min - 79%
Full Charge - 90 mins
Stock Cable:
20 min - 32%
30 min - 41%
60 min - 76%
Full Charge - 105 mins
I just got those monoprice cables too. I need to wait till I'm at low bat to do a test. These cables seem promising (they are so cheap) by the previous post!
Edit update:
With the 6ft USB 2.0 A Male to Micro 5pin Male 28/24AWG Cable w/ Ferrite Core (Gold Plated)
35min 11%-54%
22min 54%-81%
18min 81%-93%
35min +- 5min 93%-100%
(wasn't watching the time very well could have been much less than 35 also)
Total 110min +- 5min
Edit update2:
Test with stock moto cable
36min 11%-57%
32min 75%-89%
89%-100% (forgot to watch but it took about another 10-39min (max because I came back 39 min later but it said 9min left before I left))
Conclusion. The monoprice cables does charge a bit faster. The times for the turbo charge (both stages) happen in the first hour and you can see there is a small improvement with the mono cable
I'm an idiot, I left my charger at work. Is there another compatible charger I can buy or do I have to drop $35 for the turbocharger from Motorola ( I know any mini USB charger will work but I don't wanna wait 5 hours.)
Yeah there's a good amount now, just look for Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0 compatibility. I have the Tenergy one that was cheap and works great.

I'm a firm believer in Anker products. I now buy only Anker chargers and cables. They have Smart IQ, which automatically adjusts amperage based on what the device can accept, so you will always get the max charge. They always get close to 5 stars on Amazon.

If you want to use quick charger that's fine with me. My anker charger is pretty quick as is. I've heard that quick charging may eventually hurt battery life in the long run, so I choose not to use it. I don't need quick charge because I don't even use my phone a whole lot to begin with and rarely go below 60%. Plus, I have a charger handy wherever I am. (car/work/home/portable charger)
I have the Qualcomm one off of Amazon and I honestly believe that it charges quicker.
I now have a couple Qualcomm 3.0 fast chargers, the fast charger from my LG G5, and the One plus fast charger. Only the One plus charger indicates that the 6T is quick charging. My question is if the other fast chargers are still faster to charge this phone than a standard charger.
Thanks

This link explains it well: https://m.androidcentral.com/dash-charge
They will charge faster than an old .5 amp you may have kicking around in a drawer. Realistically they will charge fast enough because how often do you need every drop you can get as quickly as possible? On the occasions you do need that you just take it to the dash charger and all is good. It's not just me saying that, there was a thread on a previous OnePlus device where someone else said what I just did and the agreement was unanimous. I couldn't argue it myself, I had found just the same to be true; I was typically in no hurry to charge the device and when I was I just made a point of going to the dash charger. I'm not sure what your use case is but if it was to go all dash all the time you may want to consider waiting a little and seeing how it plays out in use. I think you'll find your ok with just the one that came in the box or getting a second for the office or cart and calling it a day.

You're probably not going to see the term "Dash Charge" anywhere,since OnePlus stopped using the phrase.
Whether they replaced it w/something else to indicate fast charging is anyone's guess (if there was any indication of Dash (fast) charging on previous OnePlus devices).

You're probably not going to see the term "Dash Charge" anywhere,since OnePlus stopped using the phrase.

Oh, true. I forgot about the EU legal stuff.

You will see a lightning bolt in place for the battery icon when Dash Charging is active, and if you plug in the Dash charger while on the lock screen, it will also make a short blip noise with an animated lightning bolt. Standard chargers and/or cables will show the lightning bolt inside the battery icon. You can always look at the charger current using the *#808# menu though.
Wait does the cable really matters? from the article linked, looks like the tech is only in the adapter
It matters because if you don't use one designed for it you wont get Dash charging, and yeah, its irritating that we have drawers full of cables that we cant use. As to the question of how you can tell, it says "Rapidly charging" on the lock screen. You'll also notice the phone gets charged stupidly fast, that's a big tell.

Yes it does. Pushing 4 amps to get more watts requires low resistance cables, otherwise the resistance will limit maximum wattage. With QuickCharge (instead of DASH charge) voltage is raised instead of current, mitigating the resistance problem.
For QuickCharge there also a handshake telling both the phone and charger that both devices support a certain charging standard. Only then current (or voltage) is raised above normal USB levels. Otherwise you would risk destroying devices which are not capable of fast charging.

Tragic...I invested a lot into my PD chargers for my 2xl guess I need to update everything again
But do you? How often do you NEED dash charge? You can still use all the other charges, they just won't charge as fast, but that's not a bad thing if you are not in a hurry.
The Dash charger works the fastest, however my Quick Charge 3.0 car and wall chargers are still delivering 2 to 3 times more m to my OneTouch 6T then my Galaxy 8 (Rated for Quick Charge 2.0) ever took, that is using higher end usb-c cables but not the Dash cables.
The Highest I ever saw my s8 take was 1300 mA, this 6T will take 2300 mA from my QC 3.0 car charger and 3200 mA from my QC 3.0 wall charger, as long as the battery is under 70%. However, the Dash charger with Dash cable gets around 4800 mA but it seems to fill the battery at a more rapid pace then what I would expect for that amount of power going into it.
The Dash cables have more pins in them to deliver segmented power, at the proper voltage and amperage, to partitioned batteries simultaneously in the 6T without it causing your phone to heat up.
