USB car charger

hi,
Does anyone know what is the power rating for the 750 USB charger?
I have a USB car charger from another device, which provides 5V / 650mA (max). Can I use it to charge the 750 in the car? (I have a suitable USB cable for the 750).

nokia have micro usb on some of their phones... i'm not 100% sure which models, 6500 Classic, 6555, 8600 Luna, 8800 Arte i think...
i use a car charger from the orange shop

I think the Toshiba because of its USB host is very picky about the charger it uses.
I have tried 3 now!
No name brand - 5v 500ma. Charges the phone just fine....but doesn't charge it quick enough, when navigating etc, it uses more power than it can charge
Blackberry 5v 500ma - lovely long cable length, better than the one above but same problem.....just drains a bit slower!
Samsung 5v 700ma - cable a bit short but charges the phone fantastically and works just fine!
Edit - Most phones from most of the major phone companies will support charging through micro USB. I wish they kept with mini usb.....micro is too flimsy!!

problem sorted
TG01, as well as nokia car charger, need to have the Rx and Tx pins shorted (connected together). so i opened my car usb charger and shorted the Data+ and Data- (Rx&Tx) pins and now everything is fine. i can use the usb cable as data cable, and when i connect it to my car usb charger, it starts charging!
hope this helps

your car charger should have a usb A connector like this

all you have to do is solder together pins 2&3

thanks bud - that was just what i needed to understand
cheers

Hi!!
Anyone can please say something!!!???
I really need a car charger.
(But I have 3 car charger and several HTC wall charger with mini USB
and I have one S200 for my private number/replacement for the TG01)
I bought from the ebay 1 converter (mini->micro usb) but don´t work in the TG01
(don´t have another phone with micro usb to test if the problem is in the converter or "tg01").
Can anyone share what converter I need to buy?
Thanks

For reference, I bought my wife a car charger for her Sony Vivaz from ebay, and it charges the TG01 just fine

Battery Charger ?

Hi Here in Mexico dont have a UK plugs and of corse my phone charger dont fits o the outlet but i have a USB Charger I can plug the Data cable to carge but the only question i have is this specs
Samsung Original Travel Charger is output : 5V = 0.7a
My USB output : 5V = 0.5a
Please Help
I think the only diff is the charges Times is less amp takes more time to full the battery.

i use the uk charger here in the u.s. i believe they are set for multiple power inputs just get a cheap adapter to change the plug configuration. that is what i am using.

i posted the below in another charger thread but in case it serves here
not sure if a lot of folks are just unaware, but every phone i've had charged fine from a usb port off my computer
since i started tethering my phone to my laptop (browse the web from family couch) december 2009, i haven't used the wall charger
even if i'm not tethering, i've got a spare usb cable on the desktop, that when i sit down at the desk, the phone or whatever device, gets connected to - far more convenient and fewer items occupying space on the desk
plus, i've got that Tmo car charger that just has a usb port on it's end - so the same cable that i use to tether to the laptop (when in the car), if i'm using the phone in the dock for nav, runs down to the charger - the charger, with no cable hanging off it when not in use, let's me leave the charger in the socket 24/7 - no looking for it in the glove box and untangling it etc
that charger is simply converting the 14V car voltage to 5 V the USB port normally delivers
2 - 3.5 hours seems to take my 1150mah battery from low charge to full
for what it's worth

There is nothing wrong with that. 5V is all you need. As long as you don't supply too high a voltage, your batteries should be safe. Don't worry about the amperage (current). Lower current (0.5a vs 0.7a) just means that it takes longer to charge the batteries.
And for those who really must have a wall charger that charges the batteries directly, you can buy a universal USB charger (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15264). It works great. It plugs into any USB charger or laptop USB port, and charges any battery rated 3.7V. You can find them on eBay for just a couple of dollars.

Can I hook up an extension cord to my Power Inverter?

I have a cheap 70 watt power inverter, and wanted to use it to charge my phone (using the home charger). However in my car, the cigarette lighter is in an awkward place and i can't plug in the charger because of its shape. Is it safe to get a small extension cord coming out of the inverter and then plugging my phone into that? thanks

as long as you can set it to 5V and 1A (1000mAh) then it should be safe
you'll fried your phone if you leave it on default 12V

Ensure the inverter has a fuse, or you probably shouldn't use it anyway

S5 car charger that actually charges?

Hi all,
I have a couple of micro usb car chargers and when I was using a Navigator app whilst driving somewhere my battery just died despite the charger being plugged in and showing as charging?
I bought another charger off ebay which is a usb car socket with a genuine Samsung micro usb cable. It shows as 1A output and I plugged my phone in to charge at 1% with google maps running, half an hour later it had only gone up to 2%?
What I did previously was plug the 3 pin mains charger into a 240V inverter plugged into the cigaretter lighter socket and that actually charged the phone. Any ideas why the car chargers won't charge it, does anyone know of a car charger that actually will charge the S5?

If your battery goes above the 42°C the Kernell stops charging; the consumption of the phone can be up to 700mAh, so with 1A the charge must increase in about 5% in half an hour. with a 2A charger the kernell will accept another 800mAh as much, so you can fully charge your phone in more than three hours, (whe in a fully use) but always with abattery temperature lower than 42°C

I personally use the Anker Qualcomm 2.0 car charger, no problems, I like how fast it charges even if I am heavily using it (unlike other chargers I have owned)

Excellent,thanks both. I got hold of a 2.1a charger which seems to be doing the job well at the moment. Interesting thing about the battery as I have felt it get very warm at times, not always when charging though.

I bought this [Quick Charge 2.0 Car Charger]CHOE 30W (with Most Powerful QC 2.0 Port) Dual USB Car Charger with 22AWG 3.9FT Micro USB Cable(White)
Use coupon code 88PKZDLL on checkout to save $5.45 making it only $10
actually works

I can really recommend this one: Aukey® Kfz Ladegerät 4.8A Dual Port Autoladegerät mini Car Charger, 2.4A+2.4A（4.8A max）dual Ausgänge für iPhone, iPad, Tablets, Smartphone, Navi u.a. USB-Geräte (4.8A dual Port mini Schwarz)
(Can't post the URL because of anti-spam bull****. Just search for that strink on amazon.de)
It's powerfull enough to charge a S5 and a S5 mini for example.

I have a genuine at&t 2.1 AMP car charger for my SGS5 and I never had any problems with it. It also has an extra USB port so you can charge two devices at a time (the 2 amps split to 1 amp for each device).
