Try Apple 5V 1A wall charger for iPhone 4S (be sure it's 1400 model, not 1300). Maybe not the cheapest solution, but tested and working well.

You can try Nokia AC-20, AC-60N or AC 50
Search on Flipkart or ebay there are a lot.
The Moto G charges at a maximum current of 1.5 amps. Any USB charger of that capacity or more will charge it as fast as it's capable of charging. If the charger has a higher capacity, the Moto G charging circuit will still limit it to 1.5 amps. Nothing else about the charger matters, unless the construction quality is so poor that it breaks too easily or gets so hot that it catches fire.
Cheap quality
The charger and earphones supplied with moto g is of cheap quality It wont even last 6 months!
Btw you can try any nokia charger AC 20 AC 50
seems to be working fine when i tested
SONY CP-AD2 Output is 2.1A it will charge the mobile quickly available offline through Sony brand stores
only downside the included cable is very short just 50cm but you can use any other micro usb cable with it

rapid charger at up to 1A. best car charger on the market, especially for the price.
Does anyone know where to get a USB coil cord that would fit into this?
Personally I have the wireless charging mod done and in my car use a Palm Pre Touchstone as a charger. It looks incredibly good and clean.
It is NOT the fastest charger however (only about 500mah charge rate).
If you want the fastest charging, I would get one of the ipad car chargers. 2.1 amps of charge power will more than juice your phone.
Personally, I recommend the Griffin one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GRIFFIN-POW...ccessories&hash=item3a779d867b#ht_2277wt_1166
You may be able to find it cheaper somewhere.
I've read in a few places that rapid charging isn't good for our batteries. Any truth to that?
The phone will only take 1 amp regardless of the charger being 2 amps. Buy a well built one and you'll be fine, they all charge the same provided they are 1 amp.

no such thing a rapid charging as the phone draws what it needs.. by "rapid" it just means it supports up to 1A charge rates..

+1 for this, I've been using this for ALL of my Android phones.
A lot of people seem to recommend that Motorola charger in these forums for various devices. I think I'm going to order one.
The Moto car charger has decent reviews on Amazon.
There any others recommendations of car chargers ?
Be careful. Bought a cheap one and found it sent dirty power that introduced noise into the audio out on my car dock.

I bought that bad boy. The build quality is awesome. You can twist off the cap and replace the fuse if it's blown. Unlike some other chargers you have to pry it out and possibly break it. This one can charge up to 3.1 amp on one usb port for tablets and 1.0 amp on the other port cell phones. Yes by default my phone was charging in AC mode with my sam captivate. Then i decided to modify it from one of users tip on there for permanent AC charging. No issues so far.
IIRC the stock wall charger is rated at 1.8Ah. But, what is the phone's actual draw? Does it ever get up there near 1.8mAh?
I'm just trying to figure out if a car charger with "only 1000mA" will be sufficient. I'm guessing that the OEM wall charger is rated well above whatever the phone might ask for, but as to how much, I don't know.
I'm actually looking at these two right now as they both seem to give a pretty high output for both Android and Apple devices.

My experience with other phones is that the phone draws exactly what the stock charger gives it. I'd imagine it's the same with this one. 3140mah is a lot of battery to charge.

I'd agree. I charged it the first couple days using the OGP wall charger and USB cable from my Nexus 4. It took all night. Switched the cable with the one in the box, and it charges in like an hour!
I have a 2.1a car charger, and the OGPro charges in exactly the same amount of time as the stock wall charger.
Oddly, it charges slower from my 2a Note II charger.

Im looking at all of the chargers from Anker on Amazon. It seems they have the best positive reviews of anything I've seen. Although the 3.6 watt (white unit with either 2 usb ports or one port and a micro usb cable) unit is newer than the 3.1 (black heavy duty), the black unit can give the full 3.1 watts to either port or split it amongst the two ports. And according to Anker, either port will work for Apple or android. They suggested i get the newer (white) unit, but i want to have the full 3.1 watts available to a single port for future h higher powered devices.
I'll have to check those out. I've been looking at this one, which has good reviews on it.

My concern with that one is that it gives a total of 2.1A. So if you charge your OGP using one usb port, there's only 0.3A left for the other port. The disclaimer at the end of the description says that if you are charging an iPad to not use the second port. I'm guessing that warning would also apply too us with the high draw OGP. It also states that the blue light gets even brighter in the dark. You might need to cover the led if it's too bright,but that's a personal taste thing,and it might not actually be that intrusive. Lastly, do you have enough room in your vehicle to rest both your phone, and the head of the charging device? I have a dual outlet 12v supplier in my car, but i bought one that has no cord. The two outlets are rigidly mounted right at the end of the cigarette lighter plug.
I bought a Griffin Powerjolt single USB at Walmart. It only charges at full speed using the OGPro's stock cable. Any other cable is slower, and the cable from my old S2 gives me a "Slow Charging" notification.
Anyway, this charger is just a stop-gap. I'm going to be hard wiring two USB plugs into my truck's 12v system (with some 5v regulators and an Add-a-Circuit).
I was looking at the 3.6A charger, here's the link on amazon.
As I expected, one port is for Apple and one for Android. This is very irritating because I need to charge my OGP while my fiance charges her OG at the same time on trips.
Can our OGP charge at full speed on the Apple port?
Edit: I just read that the kernal in Android 4.2 fixes this issue so we can charge in any USB charger, including apple chargers. I'm guessing LG devices still on 4.1 won't benefit from this update.
Shouldn't going to Settings > PC Connection > USB Connection Type and then setting it to "Charge only" force the device to see any cable as a charge only cable thus making it charge faster?

As per Anker, the Apple port will charge Android at full speed. I have not verified this myself as I have not gotten mine yet, but that's what I'm told, and expect. I'm waiting for their wall charger to come back in stock as the shipping will be free if l order both.
I ordered the black 3.6v version. I'll get it Monday or Tuesday since I have Prime.

I'm using a blackberry original charger with 5v and 800mAh and this gives me ~3 hours of screen on during in ~ 40hours of usage.
In this time I make phone calls for ~1h ,I keep data on only in needed.screen brightness is set to auto75℅.I don't play games too often.WiFi stays on for about 20h.
I observed that using a lower amperage for charging,battery drains slower.original charger has 1.2Ah and charge the battery in about 2 h.this 800mAh blackberry charger does it in ~3.5-4h.
Try to charge your phone from a USB 2.0 port.it will take longer,but you'll notice some increase in battery lasting.
I use about 4 different chargers and they all do the same job for me. I generally look for USB chargers that can do more than 1Amp and that seems to work fine for my Optimus G.

i tried a cheap 2amp Charger (Russian copy or something of a Samsung Charger) and it worked oki for like 2weeks, but what i noticed was that it didn't charged my phone faster then the original LG charger (I am running CM11/Android 4.4.2)
Can someone suggest a decent car charger?
I have tried several types but they barely keeps the phone from discharging when screen and GPS are active.
Use a charger which has 4.8-5.0V output with 1-1.2A or 1000-1200mA rating. My phone charges up in about 2.5hours and lasts more than a day considering I use little amount of wifi, more of texting and less of phone calls.

I was using amb charger of 1 ah and it was good . Yesterday i bought hama twin port charger with original Nokia cable . Thats also a good combo .

Hello,
I´m buying the Moto G and Moto E (one for me, one for GF), and we would like to buy this bundle for wall and car charger:
http://www.amazon.com/Bundle-Monster-Charger-Samsung-Products/dp/B00F045IN0
output says 5V=3.1A... is it too much?
Intensity (A) can never be too high. The phone will take what it needs
Voltage (V) on the contrary needs to be 5V. More than 5V can kill your phone.
But the Moto G wont load with more than 1,5 A (with a 3A charger you wont load faster as a 2A charger). I bought a Ravpower charger (4 Port, 2x 2,1 A, 2x 1A) and im really happy with it. It feels very nice and dont get hot/warm

Concur!
If your charger is getting hot, it means the phone is trying to take more current than the charger is capable of delivering. I.e., your phone requires 1 amp and the charger is only capable of producing .5 amps (500 ma), then it will get hot.
You can have a 20 amp charger @ 5 volts and the phone will only take what it needs to charge. A tablet charger is usually 2 amps and that should work just fine. Any charger that will deliver 5 vdc @ 1 amp or higher will work. I would try and find an OEM to some manufacture such as Samsung, LG, Apple, even Motorola (any charger that they provide for their other phones) are better than third party. But don't forget that it is possible that the third party charger you purchase could very well be the manufacture for the OEM chargers.
I do not have my XT1045 yet but when I get it I will use my Samsung Tablet charger. I am using that charger to charge my iPhone 3GS.
So in summary, 5vdc @ 1 amp or greater should work.
I use my old standart HTC chager model: TC E250 (5V, 1A) which I got with HTC One V.
It works great with the MotoG. Charges in less than a couple of hours, doesn't overheat.
Just thought I should share this here.

OP was looking for something that can charge faster than 500mA which USB charging is limited to. At that speed it can take 4+ hours to charge the phone vs 2.5 hours with stock, and 2 hours with a 2.1A unit.
My GF got an LG G2 at roughly the same time I got my phone.
I've tried charging my phone with a wide variety of chargers, including the ipad 4 charger, as well as other 2.4A heavy duty chargers from other companies. I dont know why, but NOTHING is as fast as that stock G2 charger. It beats the "heavy duty" voltage stuff by a noticeable margin.
It does a proper quick charge on her G2, and while I've read that the nexus 5 doesnt really support that quick charge, it DEFINITELY does something.
It looks like this: http://www.lg.com/us/images/cell-phone-accessories/wcp-300/gallery/medium05.jpg
I am not sure if you will get the folding blade charger in India. You can buy the CP AD2 charger. One of my friend bought it and the Nexus 5 is charging at around 1300-1400 mAh. You will get it in Amazon for 550 rupees.
