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!

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.

I just got mine as well. Fits right in. The glowing Motorola logo is kind of annoying though.
Anybody have any experience with the Generic batteries on ebay going for about $5.00 each. Are these classing "you get what you paid for" or are the oem version just way over priced?
Please advise.
Update:
Purchased two batteries + charger (non-oem)... They last half as long as the Samsung OEM.
I bought 2 batteries + usb cable + charger + car charger for $8.99 (+$3.99 shipping) http://cgi.ebay.com/2x-Battery-USB-...863749?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f02cc0145
I knew they where not OEM or even not Samsung (like the picture). But they work fine. I have no complain.

@floppy - Does the car charger put out decent amperage? Or is it slow like USB? Also, the picture makes the battery charger look like a monster - is it as thick as it looks? Can the USB port be used to charge a phone while it is plugged into the wall?
thanks!
If you are looking for a decent car charger, get the Kensington PowerBolt K39224US . It puts out 2.1 amps and fits flush in you cig lighter...
if the wall charger is anything like a previous one i've owned, the dock charges the phone and/or a standalone battery... maybe at the same time, but probably sucks :\

Does the battery charger in this package come with its own AC power adapter or do I need to use my Captivate USB charger (or other) to charge the batteries? .

If you look at the additional pics on others and read the specs, you can see the AC prongs on the back of the charger.
you guys know if we already have review of that in the main SGS forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733705
Also, if you read through the random shut-down thread, one of teh posts says Samsung is blaming the shut-downs on a charger/battery combination. It would be interesting to see if the aftermarket replacements cause such a problem or if its just a line of crap from Samsung.
I got 2 of the aftermarket batteries along with a charger and they seem fine.
not as good as OEM but do a great job as a backup.

I'm sorry I can't answer your first question because my car has an usb port and I don't use the car charger I received with the bundle.
About the size, it's not really bigger than the battery and yes you can charge your phone trhu the usb cable when in the same time your are charging a spare battery

Nope - the port shape doesn't mean anything. The factory charger has a female USB end and it charges faster then a PC USB port.
Keep in mind that all testing (even with an ammeter) shows that the max current the captivate will draw is about 700 mA. There is no reason for any charger that puts out more then 1 amp.
I bought the Griffin power bolt that has 2 1 Amp USB ports - so i can charge 2 devices at once. Also, most car chargers (with just the uSB port - no cable) need to have the data pins shorted or the phone will only draw 500 mA.
There are a couple threads in the Vibrant and i9000 forum that document all this. I modified an extra cable myself and now my phone sees my 1A car charger as an AC charger.
I just got these along with some other stuff.... the charger. The led is red when charging or when complete?
red when charging, blue when fully charged
Does anyone know if this kind of battery is gonna HURT your phone? I know that it might not last as long as the OEM one, that is fine. Just worry if this kind of battery can get over voltage some time that can be bad to your phone ... Anyone confirm about that? Thanks

I see this on the samsung site, 10 bucks more yields you a stand + charger.

Well Tokie, for your car, u can use something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-Universal-Car-Charger-Pc-2ca/dp/B004YZI1T4
One of the ports will have a 1.5amp output and will suffice to charge your battery quickly.
And if you have a tablet or wanna go ultra crazy in charging your battery n burning it U can use something like this:
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0364269
That one has a 2.1amp output as well, enough power to burn a hole in your phone's battery LOL!!

For those of you who are getting an external battery charger, will you let me know if it manages to charge the batteries to 100%? I currently use a universal battery charger, which worked great for my other phone batteries (would charge them quickly and fully, so when I popped them into my phone, it showed 100%), but for whatever reason, when I try to externally charge my Nitro's battery, no matter how long I leave it or put it back on the charger, it will only reach 88% or so. Then I have to fill up the rest by putting the battery in the phone and charging through USB. I know it's not my battery (I have two, and they both do it), so I'm just curious if other external battery chargers might be better. Let me know if it works for you! If it does I'll get whatever kind you have. I'd be super grateful, thanks!
I'm getting a legit LG battery charger specifically for the nitro. It'll take me about 2 weeks to get it (coming from LG itself in Korea) but when it gets here I'll try it n will let u know how it goes.

I ordered 1 extra battery AND the battery/batterycharger/cable from the ebay seller I mentioned earlier.
The batteries seem legit, they last just as long and have identical plastic casings. However, the two batteries I bought from ebay have a different sticker/label on them. They do not have the "FCC" markings on them or any other american legalese on them.
As far as the charger goes, it works great. I carry a battery in my wallet, one in the phone, and one in my backpack. I really like the peace of mind!
I also got mine from that Ebay seller. I'm confident it's legit. The build is identical, and it maintains charge and behaves exactly the same as the one that came with my phone. It's just probably the battery for the Asian Optimus lte, hence no fcc and different labeling. I'm not worried, and I'm pretty careful about batteries.
@red solo cup, do you know if the charger manages to bring the battery to 100%, ie, when you pop it in the phone and turn it on, do the battery stats actually say 100? My current charger brings it to around 90%, which is not bad, but if I'm going to buy another charger, I'd like it to max out the battery completely =) Thanks!
I have not checked Battery Monitor Widget immediately after putting in the battery, so I cannot absolutely confirm that the battery charges to 100%. However, I have noticed that the battery in the notification area was completely full, including the little "nub" on the left of it.
I will check this out when I get back from work tonight.
If the nub's full, it's at least at 95% I'm pretty sure.
Damn, I don't mind getting it from him, but he posted that it will take almost 20 days to a month for the item to get to me! That's frigging much too long for shipping something overseas. Things I get in China or HK doesn't even go beyond 2 weeks the longest.

I checked and the LG charger does indeed charge the battery up to 100%
@aquariuz: I really cannot recall how long shipping took as I ordered the battery on the 15, and the battery+charger on the 21st. I was away for the holidays, but by the time I got back to my place on the 28th they were both in my mailbox.
You're the best! Thanks a bunch! Ordering mine ASAP! =)
24v input
Has anyone found any dual USB (2.1a and 1a) with 12 - 24v input? I run crane and sadly in most of our cranes the Cig Lighter socket is running 24v.
I have a few 12 - 24v input single USB chargers with 1amp out but.. I'd love to find a dual. I have to run my speakers and charge my phone or mp3/RADIO -- seeing as how Optimus doesn't have a FM tuner

I found this on amazon. The specifications specifically state: "Input: 12-24V DC; Output: 5.0V DC 2.1Amp" Plus it is only 5.99+free shipping.
I have this and the specs on kensington's website state "Input: 10V-18VDC, Output (30pin/USB): 5VDC-3100mA.", So I assume that will not work.
so if i have to buy a car charger, what is the MAX specs i can use for the LG OPTIMUS LTE?
Everyone,
This might be a dumb question to some, but I'm a bit paranoid about harming my shiny new N5!
I have an "old" car charger from my Droid RAZR, and I was curious if would harm my new N5 to use it. I occasionally take long-ish trips to visit in laws and stuff, and on Sprint's network especially, roaming can suck up battery like nobody's business.
The car charger I have is rated at 5.1v and 850mA, but I noticed that the N5s wall charger is rated at 5V and 1200mA. Will this damage my N5 or battery life over the long term or anything like that?
I can't post links yet, but the Amazon product code is B005LFXBLE, if anyone is curious about which item I own.
Thanks in advance, experts!

Thanks for the link but I'm sure they said Official "CAR" Charger.
The OG RAZR Charger will work fine but like others said any 1A+ 5V car charger will work fine just be careful of quality some cheap ones will cause issues.
There are some car chargers endorsed by others listed in this forum. (I use a $10 2 port charger by Onn I picked up from Wal-Mart that works fine)
The last "Official" LG car charger that LG made/makes (that I could find) is the CLA-305.

It'll work with slim cases, once you get to the rugged rubber tires cases is when it might not charge.
be careful with wireless charging docks, not all of them support fast charging.

Ok do not need any fast charging if it charges the battery and gives enough power to let me run the phone with navigation and music it is fine.
Is that a problem with the cheaper chargers like these?

Yes, that can be a problem. Most QI charging isn't fast enough to keep up with navigation because of the battery drain.

Anyone with recommendations for a 15w non Samsung charger?
I was wrong, the samsung old ones are 10w with fast charge. You might be able to find one, but wireless charging is never good for battery intensive applications. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWZqa3tT4NQ is a video to show how it works.

For me it is fine if the battery level at least stay the same and do not go lower when I am using the car charger during navi/music.
I can not find any info on how these China wireless chargers work for this task.
Has anyone found a magnetic dock that supports fast wireless charging? All the so called "best wireless chargers" articles seem to have the slow 5W charging car docks...
Yes,Me!
Hi. I am using a cheap ebay Chinese car wireless charger with the slim case on my s8 plus.
The phone ia slowly charging, but slowly discharging when using maps+youtube and high screen brightness.
Regards
Charge with slim case is Okay, but the farther your phone stays, the slower the speed will be. Most chargers will charge the devices within 8-10 mm max distance.
Recommend a charger with built-in fan for cooling. Search " B073XLKWFK" on Amazon US
