This Qualcomm Certified Fast Charger has been the best charger I have ever had for a car. Hands down.
It charges fast! 40%-72% in about 15-20 min. That's fantastic for a car charger.
Yes it gets very warm, but that is normal for fast charging. I recommend everyone pick this up!
The standard USB port on it is 2.4 Amps. That can power any and every USB charging device on the market today.

Hey guys,
I was wondering if these USB car chargers are compatible for the TP2?

I'm asking because I remember in the past I used a HTC charger to charge the O2 XDA Flame and it charged. However, the phone started acting VERY weird and freeze a lot. I ended up having to hard reset it
Thanks!
I think any USB charger for electronic gaget that has a output of 5.0 v should work. It does not matter if it is an AC charger or and car lighter charger. I got one of these AC and another car lighter charger. There are all 5.0 v output. I use them to charge Ipod and phones.

Thank you
It's best to choose one that can supply enough current (I think the wall charger supplies 2A, but 1A should be ok). Some devices will still trickle charge with a lower current, but others just won't trigger the charging circuits at all.
I had a cheap car charger that seemed to work ok most of the time, but it got worryingly hot after a while.
My TP2 came with an official HTC charger, so I use that now and it's great.
I have noticed that if the phone is OFF then 1A is not enough and usually stops charging but if the phone is ON it completes the charge..but takes for ever.
Has anyone experienced the charging overheat situation where the led flashes orange and green? I dont know if that is the situation but it only happens when I am charging in the car and the unit gets hot.
My old "OEM HTC" charger I got on ebay (the one with the blue HTC light) just stopped charging my phone after about 10-15 uses.
It lights on (charger), but my phone doesn't catch any charge lol
I got a 1A one, and unfortunately it cannot produce enough juice when running the GPS (copilot), after a while the phone shows a message telling the charge current is not enough.
The wall charger that came with the original box is 1A too, thus the problem might be with the cheap car charger.
Brando sells a 2A car adapter that should do the trick. They're out of stock right now, but it may be worth a look.
Hey!
Mine is a cheapo but does the trick. Charges the phone with satnav running, today went from 23% to full in less than 3 hours. Plus it's really tiny so I can keep my ashtray closed all the time. Using it with mini retractable cable, it all fits in the ashtray and it's handy to use.

The manual states that the output of the AC charger is 5.0 volts and 1 amp. That means the output of the DC/car charger should be the same. Using a 2 amp current might be charging the device faster but it would probably generate more heat and might shorten the battery life.
one tip, regardless of which charger you end up with, is to not leave the phone plugged in while starting the car. my understanding is that there can be be large voltage surges or fluctuations during the startup. depending on the design on the voltage converter inside the charger, some of that may be making it through to the phone.
i once had a AA NiCd battery smart charger that went wonky after using it in the car a lot, but that was with a straight-through 12V car to charger connector.
I made my own charger for using as a GPS on my motorcycles.
There is a charge select line in the plug. If the phone detects that it is connected to a USB port, the phone will not 'pull' more the 500ma. If that line is set to indicate a non USB port, then the phone will pull 1 amp. MAX (I never saw more then 900ma myself).
If you have the wrong charge plug, it may only charge at 500ma. If you have the correct plug and the charger can manage 5 amps, the phone will still only take 1 amp max.
For a while I used the phone in a waterproof box called an Aquabox. It would overheat during charging. I now only charge the phone when it is not in an enclosed hot space.
I'm still using the off-brand 'for Blackberry' car charger I got back when I had my Kaiser. Seems to be working just fine with this phone as well.
I don't find a car charger powerful enough to Charge my Phone.
What is the right choice??
Brodit active charger.
I use it while navigating with the screen on and overclocked and charges just fine.
There are plenty of cigarette lighter chargers which offer a USB port instead of a dedicated cable. Simply use your phone's USB cable with this charger. Mine cost like £3.50, and it works just fine on my Hero.
Been using a Technocel Platinum MV3CPCP that came with a Moto Razr v3 with my HTC Sensation and used it previously with a BB8900 with no issues. When in the car listening to the Music app and GPS nav runnin' it eventually drains the battery meaning that the fone is using more power than the charger is providing but it is a USB charger putting out nominal power so this must mean the the fone can use more power than is provided while charging by normal means, yes? ... anyone else with a similar experience?
TIA
Any cigarette lighter USB adapter will be fine to just stick your USB cable into.
Here's one on Amazon for £3.83 delivered:

So I've been able to test out this nice USB car charger from Choetech Official with Qualcomm 2.0 charging capabilities. And I must say this lil thing works very well. Charged my Nexus 6 up from 15% to 73% around 45min. It's a well built charger that has smart technology for recognizing what kinda devices you have plugged in.
Has a dimmed LED that changes from blue to green when you plug up a fast charge device.
It's a dual USB port charger.
Input: 12-24V
Output 1: 5V 2.4A
Output 2: 5v 2.1A/9V 1.7A/12V 1.3A
I really like this unit. Works better then the crappy one i used to own by Qmadix. That one always seem to stop working after 2 weeks of use.
[Quick Charge 2.0 Car Charger]CHOE 30W (with Most Powerful QC 2.0 Port) Dual USB Car Charger with Micro USB Cable(White) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YX7Y3G8/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_GxKlwbPTT27F2
PS. the Choetech C0046 does come with nicely built 3ft USB cable.
I received this charger couple weeks ago and have been using it. The charger arrives in a nice package with the standard accessories. Inside it has the charger, the usb cable, instructions manual, and a pamphlet that ask if you're happy with the product or not. Pretty standard nowadays. I got the black charger but they also offer it in white. The charger is shorter than my other ones which is a plus for me. I don't like them to stick out of my car port since it's really close to my shift knob. The charger comes with two usb ports. 1 is for quick charge 2.0 for some phones like my galaxy note 5. The other is a normal port that charges pretty fast too, up to 2.4 amps. You can use either ports to charge your devices and they will charge to the max allowed but if you have a quick charge 2.0 enabled device, it's best to use that port. They colored the port blue for fast recognition which is nice. I don't have to fiddle around with it while I'm driving to figure out which port it is. The quick charge can charge my phone from 50% to close to full in about 45 mins. It takes longer if the phone is being used. I use the charger daily during my drive to school. I always charge it up to 100% before I head to class so it can last me all day. I was worried that by using quick charge so often, it would deteriorate my battery life but I haven't experienced that yet and hope I never do. When I use the charger to charge 2 devices, they both charge at their max. My phone charges with the quick charge while the other phone charges with the other port and it doesn't affect each other, which is very good. I really love this charger. If Iphones had quick charge, I would buy this charger for everyone in my family.
Choetech also was nice enough to allow me to test one of these charger for them.
I found it to be an excellent charger.
I have copied my review from amazon here for the fine folks here at XDA.
I will try to answer any questions you may have, just post up a reply or send me a PM.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a great little charger, and I do mean little.
The size actually surprised me a bit considering this is a 4 port charger.
I expected this to be a huge block sticking up from my 12v car port, but it actually is a nice small charger.
I have 2 port chargers that are bigger than this is, enough about that, on to the review.
Looking in the package you will find:
The Choetech 4 port Quick Charge 2.0 certified charger
3' USB cable
Instruction manual
The USB cable is one of the best ones I have received with a charger in a while.
It is not thin and flimsy like you usually get.
The charger itself is made of a nice gloss black plastic and looks and feels like it will hold up well to years of abuse in your vehicle.
This charger does support Qualcom Quick Charge 2.0, meaning that it will auto adjust voltages and amperage to best charge you compatible device as quick as possible.
In testing I found this charger to be able to charge my LG G4 and Samsung Galaxy Note 5 in about the same time as my other Quick Charge 2.0 certified wall chargers.
This will also charger non Quick Charge 2.0 certified devices at the maximum rate they will allow.
I tested my LG G3 that is not Quick Charge 2.0 certified and will max out at 2.1a charge rate.
It got 2.0a charge rate from this charger which is great.
There is also a blue LED on this to help you find it easier in the dark.
The LED itself is dim as to not be distracting,
I have attached some pictures showing how small this charger is and me using it to charge multiple devices including 2 phones and a GPS unit.
I have had zero problems with this unit and am glad to have it.
I would recommend this to anyone with a car or truck and either multiple devices they need to use daily or a device that is Qualcom Quick Charge 2.0 certified.
If this review has helped you at all, please click thanks below to let me know.
I received this at a discount in exchange for an honest review, this does not change my opinion of the product in any way.
Hey guys,
I got to use this charger too. Having 4 ports, one with quick charge was really handy. I was able to charge my Nexus 6, Nexus 9 tablet, and an iPhone 5S all from the same charger without having any drop off in charge rate from any of the devices I could measure with Ampere (Nexus 6 & 9). Overall, there isn't much more to say that the other guys above didn't say.
Other thoughts:
It's really small. This thing packs a lot of power for its size.
It is scratch and finger print prone, but I plan on leaving this in the car all the time; so that doesn't really affect me.
The charging light changes color based upon normal charging (Blue) versus quick charging (Green)
NOTE: I was given a discounted product in return for an honest review. All opinions and statements are my own
I grabbed the 2-port charger at 10 bucks a couple of weeks ago at Android Police.
I wonder why there aren't dual QC 2.0 ones out there.

probably grabs too much power and the design to make that might be too complicated without having some power fall off? Personally, my phone is the only QC device i'd worry about and the rest could take the slower charging. But that's my 2 cents.
I have this charger, too, along with a number of other CHOETECH products. Their quality is top notch with affordable pricing!
I have this charger in white so it sticks out surrounded by all the black leather in my car, but that makes it easy to spot and I keep the white charging cable in the quick charge slot so I know which to use when my phone is low. It doesn't seem to charge fast while the phone is in use, but it does charge quickly if you just leave your phone idle and let the charger work its magic.
Even you didn't have a quick charge device, it's handy to have a two port charger. I'm happy with that product.

Hello 6t owners.
What car charger are you using? Is there any dash charger for the car?
Thx
There is a dash car charger that is fast, not as fast as the regular charger though.
Do you have a link?

i use one similar to this, being using with OP3 and OP6T
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/LUL...-3-Dash-Charging-QC3-0-Quick/32831200841.html
The official Oneplus Dash car charger charges just as fast as the wall charger. About 2% a minute. It's on their website and comes with a 3 foot USB Type-C cable
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/accessories/dash-compatible-car-chargers-t3819031/page2
Here are some more inputs.
I ordered this one ---> https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ori...153.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27494c4dcx6LfA
I use the dash charger with a power inverter in my car. (Travel for work and the inverter is already in place for my laptop). It seems to be the place I would need charging that fast the most. (Music, screen always on, GPS, etc). If I'm charging at home. A standard 2v charger and cable work just fine, especially since I'm most likely charging over night and don't need to charge as fast.
I ordered from their offical site.

one plus has an official car dash charger. i haven't check how fast charges the phone, but when i leave my car my phone always have 100% charge.
I'm interested in the OP6T, but the proprietary fast charger is a problem.
Above the extra cost for replacing all my existing chargers, there is the issue of size and weight.
In my computer bag I have a dual-port charger with one port with QC fast charge for my Samsung phone, and one high-current regular for charging tablet or other things. In my suitcase I have a 6 port USB charger with two QC fast charge ports and 4 others for charging miscellaneous devices.
Fast charge is important in the travel scenario, as often there is a short time available to recharge devices while changing flights.
I have searched for a multi-port Dash-type charger and cannot find any. Only one of the ports needs to be Dash fast charge.
All I can find is single port chargers. Not really appealing to have to carry a separate charger, and then have to find two outlets, or carry an outlet strip too.
Has anyone found a Dash Charger with more than one USB charging port?
I don't fast charge any of my devices, including my 6T, however I will say my 6T draws the same amount of current from any charging brick I plug it into as my tablet. So it will charge pretty fast still plugged into a higher current charger, despite not being hooked up to a Dash charger. Just remember there are limits to what a USB cable can handle.

My question is "are there any Dash chargers with more that one port?", but you do bring up an interesting point.
My understanding is that Dash Chargers put out 20W (5V at 4A). Can you quantify "pretty fast"? Do you have a USB current meter? If you plug your 6T into a standard (non-Dash) charger or a battery pack, how much current will it draw at 5V?
For others - I'm still looking for any Dash chargers with more that one port....
