I personally use a 4 port Antec charger. Works quite well for charging everything I have.
i like the Antec too.
Because the Samsung wall Charger is broken I buyed a new one from Blackberry: http://www.amazon.de/BlackBerry-Pla...94529&sr=8-1&keywords=blackberry+ladegerät+2A
And now I'm verry happy with this one! I use it for all mobile phones with micro USB which we have @home
Ive been using all the micro usb chargers ive had since the days of my palm pixi, and all phone in between. Never have had any bad luck with any of them.

I've never had a wall charger break on me. I use older Samsung, LG and Blackberry micro-usb wall chargers without any issues. I actually only use the stock charger that came with the S3 as the micro-usb cable for my pc since I heard it's best to use the stock cable whenever you use Odin and I figure I may as well use it for phone to pc data transfers as well..
Did you guys ever tryed wireless charging?
Is this as good as a wall charger?
Well I did not even pick out wall charger from the box.
I have docking station near computer + audio docking station in bedroom and my phone is always charged when I need it.

Is this charger able to charge tablets. As far as I know, some tablets needs 12V output to be charged. For example Asus Transformer prime.
I got this one some time ago for my car. It's a kit with a wall and a car charger with 2 usb outlets from energizer. It does say it's for samsungs but this has charged just about anything (iphones, ipads, other phones, etc) that also had broken chargers, has never let me down for a few years now.
Both output 5V on 1A.
Haven't found a pic from the wall one, only the car charger.

This charger is strictly 5V. But it does have 2A outputs for more normal tablets.

I personally find wireless is slightly slower than wired, but it lets me keep my lifeproof case all sealed up all the time rather than wearing tjr seal, so it's perfectly worth the extra waiting.

using chargers with a higher amperage may not necessarily affect the battery immensely
however negative effects may be noticed over longer periods of time (battery swelling, accelerated loss of charge)

I would love to consider wireless charging but I'm still searching on what options are available. For now I switch between my original samsung charger and the Blackberry one. I hate the Samsung one because it slips out at any slight movement.
Anyone know of a good source to get an OEM cord that will properly charge in the car? Tried monoprice and a couple others and they appear to be charging but don't actually charge.

If you are trying to charge from a USB port built in to your car, you are only going to get a 500mA current which isn't enough to charge your phone if you're using navigation or anything.
For a charger that will work well in the car, look at the Anker PowerIQ charger.

Both ports will charge Android devices or iPhones at the full rate.

if u turn off ur screen & only listen to the directions, it will charge, but if u want to see where ur going, the battery will remain flat. power in = power out.

If the port is a charging-only port, sure. But most are charging + data ports.
I have a car charger but for some reason the cables I've gotten don't charge properly, even though it looks like it is.

It varies dramatically from car to car, even from year to year. Generally, if it doesn't look like it's charging much, if at all, it's because it's not putting out enough amps, period.

How have you determined that it is the cable and not the charger? It is much more likely that a charger would be defective than a cable.

because I had an OEM cable working fine in the charger, but the tiny clips at the end got bent down and now it doesn't stay seated properly in the charging port, so I tried a couple of places (Amazon, Monoprice) to get a replacement OEM charging cable - I have a dual port charger and have tried both ports with the replacement cables. They appear to charge (battery icon spins, using Mahdi Rom) my phone but when I get home the battery level is lower than when I plugged it into the car. Hence my quest to find an OEM charging cable, with the proper tiny clips so it stays properly seated, that I can use in the car. Monoprice cable fits nicely in the charging port, but doesn't seem to charge the phone. Not sure if there are data-only cables made but these were advertised as charging/sync cables...
Well, Monoprice has a lifetime guarantee so if you received defective cables they will replace them. I use both the Monoprice Premium cable and the standard cable and have no issue with any charger.

The only issue I run into is that one of my chargers is an iPhone charger and thus shows as "Charging (USB)" when you go to the Battery menu. That means they will only charge at 500mA which is not enough power to keep the phone running as a GPS. This Anker PowerIQ charger plus either of the Monoprice cables charges my phone without any issue (displays "Charging (AC)") while using the phone as a GPS.
http://www.amazon.com/Anker®-Dual-P...&qid=1397483180&sr=8-6&keywords=anker+poweriq
Edit: Also, when you say "OEM cable" do you mean the one that came with your Nexus 5 or the cable that came with your charger (since both are provided by the manufacturer of the equipment)? If it's the one that came with your Nexus 5 it is probably just that you received a defective cable since the Nexus 5 cable is a standard sync + charge cable. If it came with your charger it may be that your charger uses the iPhone spec and needs a charge only cable to properly charge an Android phone.

I meant the cable that came with my Nexus (or maybe it came with my wireless charger). Car charger didn't come with a cable, I got this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006SU0SX0/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Like I said, it was working fine with the original cable until the tiny pins got bent and it no longer stays seated in the charging port properly. I have the 3 foot version of that monoprice cable.

The 2.4A slot is designed using the Apple spec and won't charge the Nexus 5 properly. Once you plug it in check under the Battery menu. If you see "Charging (USB)" then it is capping at 500mA.

Actually it does charge the phone quite nicely with the monoprice cable. Maybe problem solved. It shows charging ac. I'll let it run for a few days and see how it is.

Do you have any recommendation for car charger (cigarette lighter plug)?
One with fast charger feature which is compatible with Google Pixel 2 (USB-C PD?).
For my old Nexus 6, I must use car charger with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0, because otherwise the Nexus 6 will still loosing power when using car navigation software. Standard car charger cannot keep up with the battery drain.
Thanks.
I came from a Nexus 6 too. I ended up buying micro USB to usb-c mini adapters which just go on the end of my old USB leads. I threw one on the car charger and it works fine. It's a stop Gap measure, and I mainly got it for an ihome Android charger/radio, but ended up wrapping duct tape around a usb-c charger cable and putting it in the radio dock.

I use the Aukey QC 3.0 car charger with dual 3.0 USB ports. It does not register as rapid charging but it is very quick. I used it with Moto Z Droid and used Google navigation while charging and it charges quick and does not lose charge. I also use the Aukey 3.0 wall charger and that does register as rapid charging.
I just bought a Deltaco (a Scandinavian brand) 3A/5V 15W car charger for 6,5 USD. Can't feel much difference compared to the original home charger's 18W using a 2. Gen Goobay 60W USB C-C cable.
Phone registers the input as rapid charging.
Ampere registers 2.7A with the screen on. Same as the standard charger, so I didn't find any reason why it should be worse

I bought the Nekteck 5.4 amp charger https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CH9NEM2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. The curly cord is hard wired and side mounted with a USB C plug on the end, it charges my Pixel 2 fast (charging rapidly). I had issues with other chargers and cables that wouldn't charge my Pixel 2 at full speed, this one works great. Also, it has a USB A port on the top so you can rapidly charge two devices at the same time.
The Verizon branded one works really great. Charges very fast.
Any update on these?

I think the hard wired C cabled chargers are the safest bet because of all the dicey 3rd party C cables out there.
I just got the $10 Monoprice USB C charger with PD (9v 3A) because it is rated to charge the at least as fast as the in-box wall charger. Not shilling for Monoprice, just seemed like a better deal than all the sketchy chargers on Amazon with fake reviews, none of which offered anything but 5v 3A or worse at under $25. I figure it's trustworthy because they say it's certified and Benson tested their cables and said they were OK. So far it has not tried to burn my car down or nuke my phone. I'm using it with the 0.5m Monoprice cable, it was about $17 with tax for the bundle. I can't post links, search 24424 on Monoprice.
So I've been googling around and trying to research this as much as I could but I'm still not sure of the answer so I was wondering if I could get some answers here. By the way, apologies if my terminology about the different connections are incorrect at any point in my post.
So I originally bought this Aukey car charger with Qualcomm 3.0 quickcharge (LINK) with 2 outlets for a USB Type-A connection to be plugged into it to charge 2 devices. I originally used it for my old phone that used a Micro-USB connection. After I got my Pixel 2, I needed new cables with its USB-C connection. I went and got these Anker USB-A to USB-C cables (LINK) so that I could charge with these cables or to connect my phone to my PC. Now, I've read that older Anker USB-C cables have had issues but from doing some more reading that these have been fixed I believe.
I am planning on using the Aukey charger mentioned above, and then plugging in one of the Anker USB-A to USB-C to charge my phone and was wondering if it'll be a safe combination? From some googling around and research, it seems it won't charge as fast as the wall charger (which is amazingly fast btw) or a USB-PD connection but that's perfectly fine as I don't need it to be as quick. I'm just cautious because I've read about the potential issues with using a bad charger with a not-up-to-standard cable (like something that isn't necessarily verified by Benson Leung or something). I don't care/need USB-PD charging (which I assume is where it uses a dedicated USB-C cable coming from the charger or a separate USB-C to USB-C cable connecting the cable to charger), as long as the combination I just mentioned works.

You guys should both look at 24424 on Monoprice. That QC charger isn't going to fast charge no matter what, I used one with a Tronsmart branded USB C to Micro B adapter that Benson recommended no problems though. They have a cheaper non-PD charger too, but why bother?

A USB C charger 5v 3W standard will still charge faster than a USB A QC charger, but it's only $3 less on Monoprice for the non-PD one. I don't see anything on usb DOT org listing GearMo on the certified power brick chart. I wouldn't risk it. There's no reason to put a USB 3.0 A-type port on a charger, seems fishy to me.
This one looks promising as well:

Hi,
I have several car chargers that use Quick Charge 3.0. Would it be safe to charge the new Pixel 2 XL with those chargers, and would it provide fast charge?
Thanks!
It will charge but not at the same rate as the stock charger 9v/2a. It will slow charger the pixel fine assuming your charger is good and you are using a good Usb-a to usb-c cable.
Quick charge is a qualcomm proprietary charging method that the pixel doesn't use. If you want fast charging I would suggest finding a usb-if certified usb-c charger that does 9v/2a. Obviously, the one on the Google store that comes with the pixel should work.
One word of caution. If you follow Benson Leung and Nathan K. on Google+, you will see there are a ton of out-of-spec usb c chargers and cables on the market. That is why I suggest that you buy one that is usb-if certified. That should offer you some level of safety (though not always, I'm looking at you belkin and your 27w car charger with power delivery)

Just go for any chargers with Power delivery, it will work.
Yup. It's my understanding anything that goes from USB-A to USB-C, regardless of what kind of charger it is, will always charge at 1A or less.
Also make sure if you "have" to charge USB-A to USB-C, you don't use a "bad" cable. (see Bensen reviews)

My understanding is that you are referring to a cable that is wired for both data and charge. I have several "charge only" A to C cables that are wired different from data / charge cables. These charge my XL quite rapidly.
I believe quick charge 4.0 all also supports power delivery. But, I haven't found a 4.0 charger.

They don't charge as fast as they did with my Nexus 6, but they are far from slow charging.
I am using these adapters on all my cables and they awesome.

Looking for the Quick Charge 3.0 charger for Google Pixel 2 XL ? I am just now using Choetech for my Google Pixel XL . It have an ability to Quick Charge 3.0 and USB Type-C ports. So, you can charge different phablets like Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL which are compatible with these ports.
I am LOVING my Pixel 2XL as a previous iPhone user but I am needing assistance on power cables. I am used to the usual lightning cable that is used with my previous iPhone but my Pixel 2XL came with just a USB-C cable. What cable would I need to connect the 2XL to my laptop which only has regular USB cable slots?

You should be able to connect it with that cable. The end that plugs into the laptop/PC is the standard USB type; it's the end that plugs into the phone that's USB-C.
The others are incorrect. The phone comes with a usb-c to usb-c cable. What you need for your regular usb ports is usb-c to usb-a. Such as https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics...sb+a+cable&dpPl=1&dpID=41wgZRjwXYL&ref=plSrch
This one worked for me.

Thank-you for this.
So in regards to actual quick charge: that is only capable using the plug adapter and USB C cable, correct? I will not be able to get a quick charge if I use the USB ports on my laptop...?

Correct quick charge will only happen using a usb-c to usb-c cord (and, knowing google, the actual charger) like what came with the phone.

So the plug-in adapter from Google is the only one that will do a quick charge? An aftermarket one won't do it?

Correct, unless the aftermarket charger supports USB-C power delivery. Qualcomm quick charge is not sufficient in this case.
So for those that charge their Pixel 2XL through the usb port on a laptop - how long does it take to charge your phone?
I ask because using a USB A to USB C cable plugged into my laptop seems to take forever. I hate to say it but my iPhone charged faster. Am I doing something wrong?

What you're doing wrong is not spending the extra funds to get a proper charger. USB ports on a PC are limited to 500mAh, thus charging will take an extremely long time. Some laptops do have a USB port designed to output a higher amperage, but they don't output the minimum of 2 amps used in smartphone chargers from the last five years.
If you don't have a proper charger, get one.
I was thinking of getting a battery pack. Is there one that has the capability of fast charging the Pixel 2xl and an iPad at the same time?

Research the Power Delivery (PD) specification. Then research PD power banks. There are many that output > 30W but it's doubtful you could charge both devices rapidly at the same time... but the PD power bank would charge either device rapidly. If you really need to charge both devices at the maximum rate simultaneously, you would be better off with a capable PD wall charger. There is also a P2XL "Accessories" section here where you will find more information on cables, chargers and power banks.

Indeed. I'm curious as to why @OU812_ is so resistant to getting a proper charger. It's the right tool for the job.
I just like the ease of charging through the laptop at my desk.

Then use a USB-A to USB-C cable and accept the slow charging rate. Your laptop's USB power output is the limiting factor here, not the cable. You will need a PD charger (or power bank) to charge rapidly.
With USB-C still not as common as MicroUSB, are there any power banks with Power Delivery?

Absolutely. If you are in the market be sure you confirm the powerbank allows USB-C both input & output so you can use your PD wall charger to top it off. The first generation power banks only allowed PD output, and you had to use the slower microUSB to charge. I've got my eye on THIS ONE. Just waiting for a price drop. :good:
Well I'm not in the market, but thanks for the information. I simply hadn't seen or heard of any.
Would this charger be suitable to allow quick charging?

What exactly would I be looking for in a charger that would allow quick charge for the 2xl? Also, will any usb-a to usb-c cable be suitable or it also has to have certain prerequisites to allow fast charging?

What iPad model do you have? Some of them support USB-PD for fast charging via USB Type C, but not all of them do. If it does support USB-PD fast charging, find a powerbank that supports it and you should have no issues. (Pixel 2 XL can use USB-PD as well)
