Well as the title says. I`m looking for a car charger for my S1, ipad 2 & (soon) moto G,
I want to avoid having 2 chargers running around in my car.
Can anyone chip in some useful info?.. or have some experience?
2 different connectors mean 2 different cables

I am not sure what you mean but I prefer 2 separate wires with 1 charger i can always leave inserted in rather than 2 separate chargers.
Plus i cant charge simultaneously
Something like this perhaps?

Yes like that, thanks for actually posting it.
Obviously I am not that lazy , because I know those exist... not all chargers are compatible with all phones/tablets so I do not want to purchase one and find its not compatible with.. for example the S1 because its an old phone... hence why I was particular in my mentioning of the gadgets... this is really the point of my question & not if such gadgets exist
+1 for Anker. I reviewed that car charger in details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2482243
A TON of my other detailed reviews are in the main sticky of this Accessories section, under my index page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192333

But i need an EU exit which is 2 round pins, is it possible to buy it somewhere ? i need the Samsung official one. I do have different adapters but its not the same like the real one, most of them don't fit. Moreover i use a EzoPower travel international wall charger but the speed of charging is less then half of the real charger.
Thx!

I use all sorts of third party chargers and they pretty much all work, What you need to look for is the rated amperage. the GN needs a 1 amp charger, most chargers out there for cell phones are rated at 750 mA or 500 mA.
You should also check to make sure the phone is in "AC Charge" mode, as this will indicate that it's trying to draw the full power from the wall charger, if it's set as "USB Charge" it will only draw 500mA regardless of what it's connected to. You can cheat this by shorting the two data pins, this will force the phone into AC mode.
something like this would do the job, at 2 amps, it's overkill, but I assure you, your phone will charge *Very* fast.

The trick, look for chargers designed for the Ipad that have a USB port, then use your own wire.
The EU model ETA0U80E,
http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung...r-for-galaxy-note-5-3-eu-micro-usb-1a-224814/
it's thesame EU nexus come in box.
try also ETA0U10E, same, but without USB cable.
This is a review of Anker 25W, 5V x 5A, 5-port usb wall charger. http://www.ianker.com/product/71AN25W-W5A
Sometimes you look at the product and think, how come nobody released something like this already? And when it looks so compact and elegant, it adds to the value of it. We all probably got multiple "smart" devices in our home, phones, tablets, wireless speakers and headphones. Each one comes with a dedicate wall charger. Sure, you can use double port wall chargers, even as compact as Anker 3.6A 2-port charger I reviewed before, but beyond 2 ports you don't have too many choices.
This 25W 5-port charger is really compact. We are talking about 3.6" x 2.6" x 1" durable box with 5 full size usb faceplate connectors. With a weight of under 160g its light for traveling, and the AC input cable has it's own velcro strap. The spec is very simple, you get a total of 5A of current combined from all 5 ports. Every port is labeled with a specific designator for either Android or Galax Tab or iPad or iPhone. Since I don't have any iProducts, I don't have test results for it. But from previous experience, Anker always confirmed that if iPad label is present - it will charge latest iPad at full speed. I tested all 5 ports with my Note 2 and it was charging without a problem. As a a matter of fact, i had Note 2 plugged in and verified to be charging at full 2A speed, and had two Nexus 7 tablets charging along (while those are typically 1A each).
Overall its a great device and for $19.99 a great value! I noticed that Amazon says it will be back in stock on September 12th, so I guess there is already demand for it (no surprise). I was able to clean up my desk from multiple wall chargers and power strip just with this one little guy. Also don't forget, all Anker stuff comes with 18-months warranty and support they really stand behind!
Here are the pics.

IMPRESSIONS
This charger blew the socks off my OEM charger. I got it when I had my HTC One M7 and the charger that came with that phone did an okay job - but it was more like a trickle charge. When using this charger, I was able to get a full charge from an almost drained battery in about 2 hours. And it was roughly the same time to charge both my wife's Samsung S4 and my M7 at the same time. :highfive:
This charger is great. It has two ports and it is has good build quality. I have been using it now for a few months and it is still going strong and charges my Nexus 6 great when I don't want to use the insanely fast turbo charger.
Not quite sure what the "Smart" port is for - the box did not come with a description on that.
RECOMMENDED
I would recommend anyone in search of a USB wall charger to purchase this product. I have used OEM chargers, and cheap replacement ones, and this one beats all the ones I've owned, hands down.
Will this work with a Kindle?
"Smart" USB chargers include solid state logic with serial communications chips. When you plug in a device that wants higher current, it sends a query to the power supply saying something to the effect of "I want 2 amps. Is that OK?" If the power supply is a dump USB port, it doesn't answer at all, so the device either doesn't work, or only draws the default 500 mA (and charges much more slowly.)
I've got here a tronsmart 3 port wall charger. The model is W3PTA.
Just for reference in case you're interested in the product here below is a link to the amazon store.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C3PPLBM
This charger to start with comes packed with 3 USB ports but just to clarify it only comes with one supporting quick charge 3.0 port and the two other ports being VoltIQ ports.
if don't have a quick charge 3.0 device do not worry as 3.0 works backwards with quick charge 2.0 devices. I'll be using a galaxy s7 for this review as my G5 seems to have died. ...
Let's start off with the boxing. The wall charger comes with a standard white box that I personally don't mind. I have an issue with plastic.

What you see is it. Pop it open and pull out the charger!
The size of the wall unit itself is pretty cool since it opens up with the power input facing down and the USB ports facing up. If you work anywhere near a desk you learn to love easy access to the USB ports. I will post some pictures below of the size and the modeling of this cute little thing
So let's talk about its actual performance. I've been using this unit for my work for around 2 weeks now and it has been charging my galaxy s7 just as quick as any other quick charge 2.0 units or even other quick charge 3.0 products. Please don't believe that a quick charge 3.0 product will provide a quicker charge as it won't. You're device doesn't have such method of doing so. It's just helpful to have it for future reasons or in my case have office buddies who want to randomly plug in their phones on your desk.
Through out my testing I charged my work issued tablet via the VoltIQ port and my personal s7 via the quick charge and it kept up with the voltage with no issue.
Big shout out to tronsmart for the great job they've been doing. All products I've gotten from them have been in exchange for just an honest review and I don't really have anything bad to say about them. I do not get paid anything to do this. Just simply review products to my knowledge.
If you have any questions please comment on this thread or feel free to shoot me a private message.
Is it compatible with Quick charge 1.0? I get conflicting information on the net.
I have one of these and made a review about it
https://goo.gl/fYvP7p
I see some of these online... but when used with 45W wall charger from Samsung, do all versions properly pass the 45W through to the phone, or does the dongle interfere?

I don't like the fact it claims it protects device against excess current. It says it supports PD fast charging though so it should be good.
Well, I bought this and tested it:
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/moshi-...e-jack-adapter-silver/6352696.p?skuId=6352696
And it appears it only allows rates of charging higher than 5W if you plug it into the phone first, then plug the charging wire into it, not the other way around. My excitement was short- lived though...
I am going to return it, because after much testing it became apparent that it cannot charge at a rate higher than ~15W, when it should have allowed ~25 (and this with trying the meter both before and after the dongle)..

Do not buy any of these unless from samsung!
