Charger for the car?

Hey everyone,
I'm planning on buying a car charger for my phone soon as I take a lot of road trips and now that I finally have a phone with navigation I thought this would be really handy to have.
My question is: What is the best cell phone charger? What should I be looking for? I hear that some chargers can burn out the battery if left in for too long.
Also, I'd like a charger that would be able to power my ipod as well.
Thanks!
Edit:
I was browsing around and saw this one:

Comments on it?

Look in the captivate general thread for this discussion ...

Why would this be in general? this is an accessory is it not..?

the only thing I can say about that is ...

The answer your question is there regardless.
The answer to your question is a bit more involved than yes or no, and involves USB standards.
Perhaps it should be moved ... not my call to make.

i just bought this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230503161988
for $8 not bad

I got mine free from Wal-mart when I bought my captivate and it does a good job of charging it.

Got this same exact one and a blackberry micro usb charger. Works great.

For the love of God don't cheap out... Been there, done that, don't waste the $$$.
Cables that work for $1.70:

A quality Griffin charger for $11.50:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001Q2FM5E/ref=oss_product

You haven't by chance verified that the $1.70 cable fits well in the Captivate slot?
I only ask because I have a mini-to-micro USB adapter I'm using with a mini USB cable right now and it appears to fit in fine. Unfortunately in reality the plastic around the male piece blocks it from slotting in fully and I have to fiddle with it to ensure it's in well enough to charge. Moving the phone in the slightest can dislodge it and sever the connection.
I'd like to buy this cable to work with my current home/car USB chargers but wanted to make sure it wouldn't have the same issue.

Yea... I've used them to both sync and charge my phone and they work fine.
Moving the phone around won't cause it to come out.

Thanks, most appreciated!

It's not the over charging that's the problem, it's the functioning

AT&T not as good as Samsung
I bought the AT&T branded Captivate car charger at the AT&T store, but I've noticed that it doesn't fit into the phone's slot as smoothly as the wall charger that came with the phone. Because of battery power decrease problems, I've just ordered another wall charger from the Samsung website (for use at work) instead of getting a 'generic' one from AT&T.

I looked at this baby in an AT&T corporate store after popping open the package. There is no indication whatsoever about the mA. Forget asking a store clerk. They look at you like a deer in headlights.

I just bought a random car lighter plug with a USB slot, and use my cable that came with the phone in the car. Its a little long but its the only one that fits well. I use my cable from an old bb in the house. Cheap iPhone car mount and that charger looks fairly nice

I've got a griffin powerjolt dual ... works like a champ. I do not believe that it is a rapid charger and that it only puts out the USB2 standard 500mA per port. I personally do not like rapid chargers as I've seen problems with them in the past ... but ymmv.

Incompatible charger warning

Just wanting to know if anyone else has run into this issue... I bought a USB car charger on Monoprice before getting the Thunderbolt. When I plus it into my phone however, it won't charge and I receive a pop-up warning about incompatible chargers damaging battery. So, what non-OEM charters tend to work best with HTC phones?

It's hit and miss, but if you get that, don't use the cable/charger. I got that with my INC once when I was using a blackberry micro usb cable to charge. It did horrible and barely charged anything in 30 minutes.

I have a microUSB charger from ATT that I've been for a year or two. Works great with my thunderbolt, though slow. No errors or warnings from it.
It definitely doesn't produce enough power to charger while in hotspot mode.

Your gonna want a charger that charges at a rate of 1000ma or 1A, older chargers for non smart phones and even Blackberry, dont put out that much. My blackberry chargers only put out 700ma. It would charge it, but a lot slower.

Thanks for that link. I have the Kensington single port 1-amp model of that device in my car. Charges everything just fine.

Car charger?

Picking up my phone on Monday, and was planning on getting the car charger. But before I spent the extra $30 I figured I would ask you guys. Is it just a standard mini USB? (not sure if mini or micro is the right term).
For instance I found one on Amazon (I can't post the link because I've only been a lurker here until this point). It's called "Premium Car Charger For HTC ThunderBolt"
Product Features
Brand New IC Chip Controlled Plug in Car Charger
State of the art Intelligent Chip circuit prevents overcharging
Conveniently charge your HTC ThunderBolt battery while your drive
Non interrupted charging, even while the HTC ThunderBolt is in use
Essential accessory in case of car accident or another emergency
Thanks in advance, I'd just rather not give Verizon any more $$ then I have to

micro usb is what you want (different from mini), and the home charger outputs 5V and 1A (same as
1000 mA) so you want a car charger that will output the same voltage and close to the same amperage. i used a 750mA car charger for my evo and it was a noticeably slower charge.

+1 on the Moto rapid charger. Got one for my DINC and now using it for my TBOLT and that thing is amazing. And cheap!

Thanks guys. Just ordered one for myself.

Again, I can't post links, but I believe this is the one you're talking about. It's listed on Amazon as "Motorola Vehicle Power Adapter mini-USB Rapid Rate Charger" for $9.09?

anyone try one of these with the stock cable? Or with a $1-$2 replacement cable. Or this Micro car charger they sell
I know monoprice has great quality on their items and the output says 5v and max 1A
According to this, they work just fine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001962
So the charger + a 6'+ cable will let you go anywhere in your car and more for a little over $3, prolly 5-6 after shipping.

Thanks for the tip on the charger. I had noticed that my current car charger seemed to be pretty slow. Ordering the Motorola charger now...

Another +1 for the Motorola charger. Its high quality. I have noticed the plug gets a little loose after a lot of use and wont provide a good connection. I just squeeze the Jack a little with some pliers and that tightens up the fit again.

I use one brought.from att and.its speed for charging is pretty.good.

Yes! AFAIK Monoprice makes or at least has their house brand cables manufactured themselves. Their prices are amazing and their quality is a notch above the "premium" cables that Best Buy pushes on you.
I can also vouch for the Amazon Basics USB extenders as we use a ton of the 3m ones at work.
Remember that the Tab will slow charge unless you use a charger that can tell it to fast charge. Otherwise it thinks it's charging off a PC USB port and won't draw more than 500mA. I haven't measured the Samsung adapter to see if D+/D- are shorted, but on my Nexus One and Nook Color this trick works great

Yes, I have bought tons of stuff from them. 2 TV mounts about a year back...$50 each for top quality mounts (better than the $500 mounts Best Buy sells). Recently I have purchased about four micro-USB cables for my Evo (for the car, the house, the apartment, etc.). And I have also purchased audio cables from them.
Never a problem...great products, great pricing. Can't go wrong!

I use Amazon because I have prime and they deliver in 2 days for free, even for a $3 cable. In the past I have ordered TV mounts from MonoPrice, and they are absolutely fantastic as well. Great prices and great service.
Funny how for the same cable as mono price charges $2, Best Buy charges $40 and people just blindly walk in and pay it... guess that's what's keepin the doors open at bestbuy

Thanks for the info in this thread, the stock cable that came with it is way too short, kinda annoying actually.

little old but this is true. Their HDMI cables are better than the BB ones and pretty much anything out there. Don't be fooled by big marketing and shiny connections.

Its not the cable. Its the USB ports on PCs. They only push out around 500mA. The tabs need around 2mA to get rolling.. Thats why we can charge on a wall socket while using it, and the PC wont charge it even if the screen is off. The Tab as to be off completely for the PC to charge it.

Thanks a bunch. I'll order one of those cables on Amazon since I have Prime. It's weird, even the official charger only charges about 5%/hour while in use and not a ton more than that while fully off.
Edit: I tried using an extender I found in my closet. When I hooked it up, the tablet went from 'charging (AC)' to 'discharging'. A message saying 'USB connection and 'MTP connection.

So, you're confirming that a USB extender does NOT work?
I've seen lots of reviews of longer cables on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Tablet...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1315864961&sr=1-17) that say all these 3rd party longer cables DO NOT charge at the same rate as the OEM cable, even with the OEM charger
Has anyone else confirmed if a USB extender or any available 3rd party longer-than-OEM cable will still charge at the same rate as the OEM cable with OEM charger?

Yup. Samsung must've did something to their cable/charger so they only work with each other.

[Q] External Battery with AC Charging Speed

While I've been happy with my Newtrent IMP120D external battery, I just recently noticed it only charges at USB speed. This happens even with pins 2 & 3 shorted. Can anyone recommend an external battery that will charge at AC speed.

That looks alright, but seems a bit cheap. The same model goes for twice the price locally, and I'm only a 5 hour fight away from China
By the way, check out this thread on how to be sure it's a genuine unit. I hope Aliexpress accepts returns and refunds if it's found to be a fake unit.

I wouldn't trust anything with no name. You should try Yoobao as well, pretty well reviewed.

I'll try contacting them before buying
Do you know any reputable online site that ship worldwide (I prefer free/low cost shipping, i.e: local post)

I'm assuming you're from US, so I'll say I don't know. I literally live half way round the world

broken
Hello,
I was using a 5000 mah external battery and it was perfect, was writing ac while I was charging. However its cable was broken and now I'm using original cable of my phone. However It shows usb charging instead of ac and it takes so long to full charge. What can I do??
My phone is HTC ONE

How odd. My new Trent charges like an AC and not usb

what model is yours? maybe it's an updated version?
all i know is the trent that i used to have, which i thought was fairly new, only charged at usb speeds even when using the "shorted" cable to force ac speeds.

It's called the imp70d. I'm using the cable that came with the one. It shows AC charging in the settings.
Edit: I stand corrected, it initially shows AC charging and then shifts to usb charging. weird!! This is sad.
Edit: I just noticed that it charges at usb speed to with my apple 12v charger. I wonder why.
