I been having this problem since I had an EVO 4G I can't find a car charger powerful enough to Charge my EVO/EVO 3D. I've even bought the Sprint Oem which my phone died while using Gps. So any 100% confirmed powerful car charger? Not a charger where your battery only goes up 10% after 20-30 mins of doing nothing on the phone.
I bought a cheap Walmart Wireless one and it charges fine. Maybe I got lucky. You sure your 12 volt is working right?
I highly recommend the "Motorola Vehicle Power Adapter micro-USB Rapid Rate Charger" from amazon, its around $5
It has rapid charge, so it charges at the rate that a wall charger does. I own 2 and they're great!
This is the one I got: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000S5Q9CA
I've had zero problems at all with it, and have used it on up to 2 hour trips with no noticeable loss in battery. I'd say that it charged additionally, as I'm pretty sure it did, but honestly haven't looked that closely to say it without any doubt.
I too use motorola and they seem to charge everything. Even my Garmin Nuvii. Here is the one I bought.
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Ciga..._12?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1313709066&sr=1-12
I bought some cheap thing at Microcenter that can plug into a wall outlet or cigarette lighter and takes a USB cable. Works good and I can get a good jolt of juice in a 20 minutes car ride or keep the battery from draining while using GPS and playing a podcast.
For me the ATT chargers work great , I lost mine somehow so I order the HTC oem car charger I'll let you know if is good in a couple days when I get it

Palm official charger for pre or pixi. Full charge just as fast as the wall. Been great forever, you can get them online for 5 bucks.

I use a 180 watt inverter and plug the wall adapter into it, no problems....ever
Do not order the htc dual usb one from Amazon, it is a cheaply made copy of the htc oem one it failed after the first day and I ordered two, they both had the same serial number wtf? I ended up returning them and bought the car dock at bestbuy for $50 it also comes with the official dual usb charger that charges way fast and doesn't feel cheap.

I use the charger from the HTC Evo3D Car dock..works great.
I use a Duracell branded unit I got locally at Staples. I'm sure I overpaid ($22), but I needed it for a trip and couldn't wait. Anyway, it works fine for me.
Awesome thanks for the recommendations sound like I can find a lot of good chargers for way cheaper then the one that didn't rapid charge.

Same one I use (along with the car dock) and it charges the phone pretty quickly even while being used. I typically have music playing via bluetooth and navigation running and it still charges it to complete.

what you want to look for is the output of the charger, it's always in super small print though, usually found on the part that plugs into the wall/poweroutlet with like model number stuff on it lol...the home charger's output is 1.0Amps, i have seen a lot of car chargers that are only like .5 Amps. the motorola car charger mentioned previously is .950Amps so it is almost as powerful as the home one, hence why it charges really well. i found a rocketfish branded one at bestbuy that has a usb plug as well on the unit and it's output was 2.0Amps...it cost me like $26.
This is the one I got:
http://www.amazon.com/Retractable-C..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1313735695&sr=1-1
Works great. I bought it when I got my Evo 4G, and it works great on my Evo 3D
When looking at car chargers check the specs to make sure it outputs at 1 amp and not 500ma. I had a palm car charger from my pre its 1a and works great. A 500ma charger never charges if im actually using my phone in the car (nav, streaming, etc.)
Use a rocketfish i have never had a problem with it and had it for a bit over a year now works on most of the droid phones

Not sure if anyone else is looking for a spare wall charger like I was or not, but I found one on eBay that looked the same as the OEM one, and I bought 2 of them so I could have one somewhere else at home, and also have one to carry with me when travelling. If anyone is interested, the seller was accesscables and the item I bought specifically is here. They arrived yesterday and both work for charging. They look like Chinese knock-offs as they have the same information printed on them as the original charger.
I've tested some of not original chargers, all they works fine.
There is 5V 2A output on original samsung charger, but to make charge it must have output from 0,85 to 2 Ampers (and 5 volts, of course).
This one from DX (sku: 48615 with european plug) works just fine, it has 5V 1A.
The ideal is 5V 2A - it make charge faster.
Would this charge fine on an iPhone charger, or a universal car charger?
I am currently using THIS for my mobile and tab ，really light smart
As this may be off topic, but what I did was is I went to walmart and bought http://www.walmart.com/ip/RCA-WPW2UWR-RCA-Wall-Plate-with-2-USB-Charging-Outlets-White/20976676 . Now I just take my charger that came with me as the spare
i am using the HP touchpad charger, i think HP was selling them for 5 dollar shipped
http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/ho...er-Supplies/FB341AA?HP-TouchPad-Power-Charger
i gives enough juice to charge the GTab
edit (no more free shipping now)
Nice find. When I sold my first gtab I kept the charger just to charge my phone with. Glad I did. Didn't know they were $20.
I use my iPhone & iPad USB chargers. Also a belkin mini surfer protector.

I use an Apple USB charger for travel, works without any problems for me. Only disadvantage is that its charging woth just 1Amper.

Can I use the charger for Asus Transformer 101?
Couldn't find where anyone posted this, especially since search is broken right now.
I have been searching for a good car charger, and have tested several from Monoprice, which ALL eventually quit charging. Finally found this car charger that works perfectly. It is the only charger (that I have used) that can charge my phone faster than the Waze app can drain it. Excellent quality quick charger for $5. I believe it is rated at 950mA. The others were rated at 1A, but evidently that wasn't really the case.
In case the link doesn't work, it is the Motorola Vehicle Power Adapter micro-USB Rapid Rate Charger for $5.06 with free shipping at Amazon.

FYI - The charging cable is attached, so it is not a removable micro USB cable. Surely you can tell that from the picture. The clear plastic Motorola emblem glows blue when plugged in, which I thought looked cool (or, "looked chill" for you kiddos ).

I have one works great.
That is a very widely used car charger and pretty well loved. Personally I use a http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10826&cs_id=1082603&p_id=8858&seq=1&format=2 with a USB cable. Have never had any issues with it dying or failing. It also barely sticks out of my cigarette lighter. Any all in one plug I've ever used has always had a lot of bulk.
I use the Zagg Sparq. In the car and work and such. Little pricey but it's got a lifetime warranty.

This is the charger I use also. It works great. What I found is that this charger charges at about the same rate as the supplied HTC AC charger. I've found that anything under approx 850mah takes forever to charge.
You can't go wrong with this charger! :thumbup:

A friend recommended this one to me and we love ours!
I ordered the same charger a few weeks ago and it's flawless. I would definitely recommend it.

The monoprice one has the highest output so it'll probably charge the fastest.
I just bought one of these on ebay for $1.50 direct from China (it's the exact same one)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-2-1am...Accessories&hash=item3cc74de761#ht_2395wt_914
It's a 1amp output which is still higher than the moto one.
Right on. Thanks for posting. I've never 'needed' a car charger, but I've wished I had one, on occasion. So, at this price ... why not?
Thanks OP, Google Maps was winning while charging via car charger on the way to Key West last week. Quite frustrating. This is the perfect solution at an outstanding price!

I suggest people buy it directly from amazon instead of other merchants because there are knockoffs out there.

Iv'e had a Palm Pre car charger for a few years now, no complaints.
I can't find anywhere to confirm this but i believe it charges at 1 amp.
http://www.amazon.com/Palm-Vehicle-Power-Charger-Pixi/dp/B001QVNI0G?tag=thelinactsho-20
if you want a good charger, you should search not only 1A constantly, for example, i use a RadioShack CLA to Dual USB 2.5A Port (Enercell Brand, SKU: 270-057) and i luv it! i used a lot igo CLA but the but was only 850mAh. Now iGo have new CLA with Dual-USB with 2.1A rated (Called MicroJuice) i tested and is very good.

While we were on our way to key west last week also, we killed 2 count them 2 of the griffin 2 port stubby ones. They worked at first, then died. Heat probably an exascerbating issue in that case as we were in a miata with the top down and the sun on that all black interior for 8 hours. Also, had both my phone with nav and ambling books and bluetooth, and my gf's iphone 4 and her taking pics non stop haha.
Anyways I found at radio shack a stubby iGo 2 port 2.1 amp that worked without a problem the rest of the vacation doing the same heavy load in the same heat for untold hours from key west to ocala on the way back to my parents place at the end. It was more like $30 than $3 though!

I hope you sent it back since Amazon has free returns. Both of the ones I ordered are flawless.
Since I travel a lot, I prefer the detachable design of car chargers like this Satechi USB Car Charger and the
Palm Pre USB Charger. Although both of these chargers and many others that I have are rated at 1000+ mA, they all charge my phone very inconsistently. Sometimes while charging, my phone continues to drain when using GPS navigation and other times it just charges very, very slowly. However, the OEM Sprint charger usually produces better results even though it only puts out 850 mA. I've tested these chargers in different rental cars and the results are similar so I don't think it depends on the make and model of the car being used.
Any reason why the Sprint charger works better than all others?
Are you using a detachable USB car charger that always charges well while using GPS navigation? If so, which one?

I went straight to amazon.com and purchased several OEM Motorola Wall chargers and the rapid car charger. To me the "portable" chargers that you linked to are cool if you are a person who needs to charge different types of USB devices but our phone uses a standard microusb adapter so the Motorola Rapid Car Charger can be used for many devices. I recommend you get one: http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Vehicle-Adapter-micro-USB-Charger/dp/B000S5Q9CA
I use this: http://www.farmandfleet.com/products/737964-duracell-no-tips-mini-usb-car-charger.html#.UI15iDgpCSw. Only cost $8 at staples and charges like you're not doing anything while using navigation

Yes, i have that one too but I'm trying to avoid using a charger with a spiral cord. For me, it doesn't pack as well as the detachable type.

Thank you, I couldn't find it at Staples but I did find it here at OfficeMax. Placing my order now...
Also, I found this review about a different product (which I'm also ordering) that explains the problem with Androids charging slowly with most car chargers. It looks like this charge only cable (which I'm also ordering) may allow all USB chargers to charge faster!
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.
