Unofficial HTC Desire USB Car Charger on Amazon:

Now we have Google Map Navigation . I thought I'd Invest on a cheap in car charger.
The one I got was one of the cheapest, with the best reviews plus free shipping.
I already have a Car USB Charger that I bought for my HTC Touch Pro. So with the change from Mini to Micro USB of course this means I need a new one!
Anyway, instead of buying a new charger, I decided to go for the Charging
Adapter Tip from Mobile Fun for £4.97.
I'll post back here a review when I can test it!

Is this safe? Solar power charger

I was out of the country recently and could NOT get to a charging source. So i was wondering what if i had one of these in my backpack? Would it be safe for my phone or would it mess it up because of the charging output?

Since our ac charger output is at 5v 1a or 1000ma....
Its weird this charger output is 5.5v. Most I've seen are 5v output.
My friend had one from another brand with 5v output no problems.

If it were me....
I wouldn't use that charger if it is pumping out 5.5v. The batteries in the phones are LiPo batteries which need to be charged in a very specific manner. If they are over charge or under charged it can and will do permanent damage. And if the OE charger is 5V i wouldn't risk it.
Don't go cheap when you consider solar/power pack options. You need to consider the power output of the stock usb charger and try to stay as close to those numbers as possible.
I've had a solar panel setup from Brunton for several years and it's excellent quality and provides the power needed via a car cigarette lighter outlet. 6 watts is the lowest output rating I would go (500mA @ 12V). I bought my first one for $106 when the Dell Axim x50v was a new product and even bought a 2nd one (last one moontrail had for $89.95) for my emergency survival pack. Excellent camping/hiking accessory I wouldn't be caught without, especially with power-hungry GPS devices.
Here's a link to what I use: http://www.moontrail.com/brunton-solaris-6.php
I've tried several rechargeable battery packs and had to return them because the only pack I've found that would charge my phones more than once was purchased several years ago, from PPCTechs.com. It cost me $60 (from what I can remember) and is rated @ 4400mAH and charges it at least 3 imes. They don't carry the product anymore...
When it comes to solar power, you're going to have to pay a little more money for reliable products...

Poweradd Apollo2 Solar Panel Charger 10000mAh Dual-Port Portable Charger

The product links are as under :-

Anyone have used above product with Note 8? Please throw a quick review.
I think it can charge 1.5 times Note 8.

[REFURB] Motorola Turbo Power Charger

IMHO best quickest general purpose USB chargers are the Motorola TurboPower 15 / 25 / 30.
I had one with my Motorola Nexus 6, then bought 2 more refurbs on Groupon. I've used them on just about every usb device, tablet, phone I've own and have had solid fast normal charging.
I seem to always sell or gift them away with devices, so I had to get some more.
Currently some seller refurbs (used) on ebay at a $7 each -$5 if you buy two items off this vendor, I have no affiliation, just passing along the deal on awesome chargers.

What is the actual charge amperage in accubattery, ampere or other app? The max this tablet charges with is 1800 mah i think.

Car Charger

Hi Folks. I tracked down an authentic car-charger for my Mate9 via AliExpress. It arrived today and I've downloaded 'Ampere' from the PlayStore to compare and contrast its 'supercharge' charging abilities and the various other standard car-chargers I already have.
Maths isn't my strong suit and hope someone x an point me in the direction of the sorts if numbers I should be seeing when super-charging in the car.
I'm asking because after quick look using a standard cable and a 2.1A charger vs the Huawei official car-charger I was expecting to see a much greater difference in the readings - and certainly the supercharger to be higher.
Ordinary cable/cheap 2.1A charger = 940 mA
Huawei official cable and car supercharger = 840 mA
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Most important is did the supercharger charge faster ? Mine is very much faster than my normal car charger..
I ordered the real official car charger and yes it does supercharge
Charges twice as fast as my Samsung fast charge car charger
