I can't imagine I'm the first to want this, but I didn't find anything in a search. I want to keep an extra battery charging in my car, but I don't see anything that serves as a in-car battery charger.
I have a car cigarette-lighter-adapter that has two USB power ports, so I could in theory charge the phone while also supplying power to a spare battery charger.
Perhaps in a worst-case situation I could commandeer my desk charger and try using it in the car, but that's not something I want to do on a regular basis, and I'm not sure how much it would like being powered by a car-adapter.
You could buy a DC to AC power inverter, and a stand alone battery charger or (which oddly would be cheaper), a partially working Epic like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...0735420905?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item4d015e05e9 and just use that as an external battery charger that could charge from your car with just a cable
I use an inverter with an external battery charger plugged in. Those two items combined were like 10-15 bucks. When you get a new phone, you can get a new external charger and plug it into the inverter no problem. Future proof, as they say.
This charger/dock is USB-powered, so you can use it without an inverter.
Yiboyuan galaxy i9000 external battery charger has a usb port, I have one I can confirm it works very well, just charges slowly, you can find one on amazon

The cheap-o fleabay wall battery charger I use also has a USB connector... can be used both as a wall charger and via USB. If you plan to use it in the car only get the Samsung one

The first thing I usually notice about aftermarket USB C is how they connect to the charging port. These were very clicky and you know when they are seated. When connected to micro-usb they have a very nice click as well.
Charging speeds were the exact same as rated on the charger. These do not hinder charging speeds at all. My phone charged just as quickly as I expected with my desktop charger - Not fast charging, of course, as that would require full USB-C.
I moved some files over with these as well and got the expected USB speeds. The connector did not slow the transfers down. I compared the speeds to another Micro USB device I had and both gave the same speeds to and from the device with the same cable.
The addition of the keyring on these connectors is amazing! I’m hoping that on the next Choetech portable batter they will add a place for me to attach this keyring. Having it on my keys is great. The connector stayed put when I picked up my phone with plenty of weight on the keys (truck key, key fob, bottle opener, a couple of house keys, a couple loyalty cards, a Motorola keylink, and plenty of keyrings)! I can’t believe no one has thought of doing this yet, great job Choetech!
In closing, these are the Micro USB to USB-C adapters to purchase for sure. The click when inserting the micro cable as well as the USB C into the phone along with the keyring make these a no-brainer.
I received this product in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. Choetech is looking for people to review the item listed here. I am not affiliated with Choetech other than reviewing for them. They are great people and make a great product.

You can use just two ports (one is 3.0) or you can connect 3 more ports.

Hello,
I've bought this little guy to charge my phone in my motorcycle, and it outputs 5V 3.1A:

Can I safely use it to charge my Vernee Apollo Lite?
While searching the matter I found two opinions:
A) The phone will only drain the necessary amount from the charger, thus the higher amperage doesn't matter, as long as the voltage is equal.
B) The phone will be "addicted" to the higher amperage and won't charge properly with the regular charger anymore.
Which one is true?
Thanks!

From my experience, when I use a fast charger (has 2.1 Amps compared to 1 Amp from regular chargers), on a phone that does not support fast charging, it makes no difference. Only the phones that can support fast charging will utilize the fast charging charger. So it would make no difference if you are using a higher amp charger. Option A is your answer.
Hi guys! Greetings
So since my phone hasn't able to do fast charging (and I did all possible available options, like use new cables, change the charger, changing the new flexy charge, clean the stock micro port USB on stock flexy charge, checked the settings to turn on the fast charging, bought a new battery with same capacity, and so on). And all these options don't solve my issue, I even went to repair shop which they only replace the flexy charge to a new one (they guarantee it is original and not some chinese-look-like).
But I had in my mind that something on my IC is damaged or has a faulty power management. Maybe. I've had discussion last month in this forum too. I'm frustrated with normal charging like I should wait for six hours to complete full battery. The math didn't do the right thing. If 3220 mAh divide by 1667 mA (I got this number from a stock Samsung charger), it should be around 2 hours. But apparently, I've come up with a new idea. I bought a desktop charger which comes like this:

It needs to connect through an adaptor that outputs 1A. And connects it into the desktop with micro USB. It's practical and easy to use. It's a good accessories.
My questions is:
1) Do you guys know alternative charger that similar in this photo? Maybe that could output more than 1A. Or any other option, so I could charge my battery without plug it in my phone.
I don't like use extended battery that exceeds capacity of a stock battery. I fear that it could damage my phone for some reason
After getting my Oculus Quest 2, one of the most obvious drawbacks was the battery life. If I wanted to play longer in between charge times, I needed to find a good solution. One thing you can do is plug your headset into the wall with a long cord, while you play. This works, but it restricts your movement and can come unplugged very easily. So here is the solution I came up with.
I started using a portable USB C charger to power my headset when it gets low. The charger can sit in my pocket while I continue to play. The first charger that I used only slowed the discharge time. It wasn't charging my headset while I was playing. This is because most portable chargers use a 5W output. The Oculus Quest 2 can take a 15W charge. So I upgraded to the RavPower 18W Power Bank. This product has enough power output to charge my headset while I keep playing.

I thought I'd share this info here, so other people can know what type of portable charger they need to get. Here is a link to the exact charger that I am using now. I can get two full charges out of this power bank, while gaming. This will extend the battery life of my Oculus Quest 2, to basically last all day. The charger has two ports [1x USB-A, 1x USB-C]. I use it with the same charging cable that the headset came with, which is the right length to fit into my pocket without being too long.
I'm sure other brands will work just as well. Just make sure that your power output is over 15W and it's small/light enough to fit into your pocket.
