Car charger?

Does anyone know of a good car charger will not effect the battery of the phone or does rapid charging? Is there one with a voltage regulator so its like charging from a wall outlet?
Also I was thinking about getting a AC car adapter, and just plug in my wall charger that came with the G2.
What do you guys think?

Look on Amazon for a Motorola micro USB charger. It's like $1.50 with free shipping. They accidentally sent me two of them. Works just fine.

I actually use my original G1 charger with a Mini USB -> Micro USB adapter that I bought for $1 shipped from hong kong on eBay, I ordered 5 of them for $5 and they sent me 10 of them on accident... I'm not complaining, now I can use all of my old mini USB cables for the PC as well

I've been looking for car chargers that output 1A.
So far have seen the belkin charger usb port/no cable $10 ebay and radioshack 1.2A corded charger $28.

I can't for the life of me find it sold separately anywhere, but the car charger that came with the N1 car dock works great. Even HTC doesn't have it on their site (that I can find). All they have now is USB car chargers to use with the data cable.

I am new so I can't link to it... but if you go to slickdeals dot net then on the front page there is a deal for the Motorola P513 rapid rate charger on Amazon.
I just jumped on this. Lots of good reviews from incredible, evo, and n1 owners even when using navigation. And it's $5.

If you have a frys electronics near you pick up one of these http://www.frys.com/product/5865763 or order online. Works great is outputs 1A. I refused to pay T-mobile 29.99 for a charger.

has anyone got one on ebay the cheap ones (are they good or keep away from them).
if no good what ones are good

I'm also on the market for a good car charger that will not screw up my phone. Came close to buying the cheapos on Ebay but like the previous poster didn't pull the trigger since I was worried one of those might damage my phone. Any recommendations would be appreciated (or feel free to second the ones that are already listed). It's definitely a necessity since I'll be using this as my primary GPS from now on in my car.

Tell us more about these car chargers that ruin batteries.

Yes, as I am searching for one, would like to know wich ones not to buy!

I got the HTC CC C300, definitely not cheap, but has 2 usb ports whit 1A in both of em, and looks sleek.
Includes one micro usb cable, only power, doesn't work as data cable.

Pay attention to how many amps the charger supplies. The OEM wall charger puts out 1A (1000 ma). It charges at a pretty good clip up to about 90%, to get the battery 'full' will take some extra time...
I bought this Motorola Charger, as mentioned earlier in this thread, and it was worked very well for me. It is rated to put out 950 ma, so just short of the wall charger.

Just so people know, the highest charging current I have ever seen my G2 take is about 771 mA. This data was taken with Battery Monitor Widget. So I don't think it makes any difference if the charger provides 800 mA or 1.0 A.

I got a full kit of an unopened Belkin chargers for iPod/iPhone for 6 bucks at a goodwill and used the car-usb charger and a micro-usb data cable to charge my phone. The charger is really reliable. I've been using it for my G1 for one year and G2 for half a year and there was never any drop in batter performance.
I always thought the cables didn't matter that much, but the charger is the key to ruining the battery.
As to the amps and voltage: On the back of my battery it's labelled 3.7V 1300mA, and on the phone it's 5V 1A. I doubt it's those 1 buck charger is really gonna have a good grip on those values.

I've been very happy with the Dexim dual-USB charger. It plugs into the 12V socket and can output 2 amps (or 1 amp on both ports simultaneously). I bought the iPhone version for the special cable. Other smartphones can use any regular mini or micro USB cable. Great for charging up two devices at once, and it can provide enough current for devices like the iPad.
http://www.dexim.net/us/products/car/DCA154.html
I see they have a version that will kick out 3.1A (!), although I don't think the DZ will take more than about 650-700 mA anyway. It would be nice if someone tweaked the phone's USB firmware or driver to accept a higher current...

Nexus 4 car charger??

Hi
Im searching for a car charger for the nexus 4 that will charge the device even on navigation running...I now that the Motorola Rapid car charger was good with the galaxy nexus.I dont know if itS ok with the nexus 4 because on the LG charger it sayS 1.2A?I read that the Bracketron Universal Dual USB Car Adapte 2.1A will just work as AC charger if plugged in with a USB charging only cable...but i cant find those cable to order online here i Canada...and i dont wanna do it myself and modify a regular usb cable ...Soo if someone can help me it would be much appreciated.

You dont have to have a modded cable if your car charger already has the data pins shorted. Im using the motorola rapid charger too and it works fine, it will charge your phone as AC and give enough power to recharge the battery with navigation on. if you want something a bit better you can try this one , they ship to canada. My rapid charger broke so i bought it a few days ago. Reviews says the trident will give around 8-900mA, the moto charger outputs around 6-700mA.

I would only buy a premium brand here. If you see how no name mains adaptors are made... the risk of blowing up something expensive is just too big.
I wnent with the Sony AN-400 / 401, because it is rated at 1.2 amps exactly, is small, and was reported to work fine.
For some regulator disasters:
http://hackaday.com/2012/08/15/buying-cheaper-electronics-and-not-saving-money/ <- a USB car charger without components, putting 12 volts straight on USB.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi-b9k-0KfE <- teardown of imitation apple mains adapter, showing no output protection and very little gap between mains voltage and output circuit. Good info, but style of presentation is not my cup of tea.
So that is why I went with a premium brand.

that's one charger from one factory that some guy that didnt know what he was doing and ordered thousands, without testing them. He probably went for the 25 cent super deluxe model...
Well reviewed chargers from xda members here and not to mention the hundreds of people on amazon are a safe bet. Here's a 8+page thread on the charger i linked. Your premium brand name sony charger is made in china too.

That looks ok,but I cant find a good quality usb charge only cable that ships to canada :

I have a el cheapo usb charger from ebay and I used my usb cable that came with the phone...and when i pluged it in it switches from AC charge to USB ever couple of seconds back and forth...so I want to try something different.

If you're into rooting and custom kernels, most of them have a fastcharge option where you don't need to have a special usb cable, or, attempt to short the D- and D+ lines.
Monoprice has a 2.1A bullet charger for a bit cheaper:

i cant say for sure until i get it sometime next week but i think so. im in canada too and couldnt find the powergen anywhere that would ship here.
There are some other brands that are good too but i like this one cause it's dual usb like my old moto rapid charger. If you dont need that you can get some smaller ones that will work just make sure they are well review and can output around 1A. The one that bfspider spider recommends is a good bet too since monoprice is pretty reputable store and will ship to canada.

You can try to mod this one in the mean time, just take it apart and attach the two data pins(they are the two middle ones). Solder is best but if you cant you can just use pilers and bend the pins until they touch. i did this with a few of my chargers too and it works to make them AC but it wont increase the output if its low to begin with.

FYI, this adapter should allow most existing "iPad" chargers (1.2A or higher) + any USB cable to work well with the Nexus 4.
The problem is that Apple products deviate from USB charging standards. As a result, most chargers try to be compatible with iDevices and also deviate from the standards. So when standard-compliant devices try to follow the standards, the chargers refuse to follow the standards, and the devices get upset with each other. Fortunately, they fall back and settle on a lower-power charging rate.
If you want to buy chargers that are very clear on what they support, check out MediaBridge (also available on Amazon).

Why does a bog standard USB cable work in the car for me? Using a proper off-line sat nav my phone was fully charged

So i got that Trident charger that you recommended....the quality looks good...but when I tried it in the 1A and 2A port with the usb cable that comes with it,it shows USB charging but when I use the HTC usb cable that came with my HTC one S it shows AC charging....its so confusing and I just dont get it....that HTC cable is a sync and charge cable.

The generic T-Mobile car charger available at T-Mobile stores charges just fine. I believe it is at least 1 amp. Its black, has a purple white small led indicator when charging. The USB end looks like a little block and the cord is an accordion type and it also has a a female USB slot in it to plug something else in at the same time but I believe whatever USB cord you plug in there only charges at .5 amp. With this charger I can run navigation and Bluetooth and Pandora and message at the same time and it will charge.
Sent from my often RMA'd Nexus 4, So that I can use the one I'm using now when I get the 6th and hopefully final one.

I just dont get it why does it with one cable show USB charging and with the other HTC cable AC charging?:S

5A cable in 2 meter/6 foot length?

Anyone, find a longer type C cable to replace the one shipped with our Mate 9? I just purchased a 2 meter cable from Bestbuy that was certified fast charge but it does not show up as Supercharge when charging. I noticed that our cables actually have 5A molded into the cable at the type C end and the one I purchased from Bestbuy was rated at 3A. I Googled but could not find anything. Just wandering if anyone else has found anything.
Thanks, Dhatw.

Looking for this myself for a while now. Actually I'm looking for any charger that supports the super charge feature, regardless of length.
Be careful if ordering off of Amazon, I bought one that was supposedly an OEM Huawei Mate 9 charger, but it wasn't. Slow charging...

I believe I read that Supercharge connectors have extra pins that aren't on a standard type-C cable, so you may need proprietary cables.

None of my longer usb c cables supercharge.
Not horrible speed though, about the same speed of my nexus 6p with quickcharge.

One of the very unfortunate parts of having this SuperCharge technology is that only Huawei's cables and chargers will work with it. I have seen some on Aliexpress, but I don't think they were longer than the original. I've also never found the car charger for sale.

I agree that a "regular" type C fast charge cable is not too bad as far as charging speeds. I just didn't want to mess anything up and also would like to get all that I can from my phone and charger. I emailed Huawei to ask them if they have a longer cable but don't expect a positive reply if at all.
Dhatw.

This is the first phone with Supercharge. With the P10 about to come out, and probably more, perhaps Supercharge accessories may become a little easier to come by before too long, due to increased demand/market.

Where do most people place their supercharge? I find that when I do need to fast charge, it's either at work or while I am away from home. At home, I just leave it on the charger over night, so I do not see a need for it to be at home. Also, I heard that leaving it on supercharge over night could eventually cause a quicker wear and tear on the battery as opposed to just standard charging?
Anyone else do the same thing?

I have mine at home for when I need a quick charge, but I normally use slower chargers, as I believe it's better for the battery. I also normally only charge to about 90% or so, and don't let it get below about 40%, unless I know I'm going to need a full charge. I most commonly need a quick charge in the car, but that doesn't seem to be available yet.

SuperCharge ONLY works with the Huawei charger brick, and Huawei USB A to C cable.
With that said, USB PD works with this device quite well. My Pixel XL charger actually puts more current/power into the Mate 9 than it does my Pixel XL! Measured at the wall, the Pixel XL maxes out at about 18W... the Mate 9 hits 20W. It's not as good as SuperCharge, but it's close. There aren't too many reputable, good type C chargers available right now, so your best bet is to buy the charger on the Google Store for $35 that comes with a quality 6 foot USB C cable as well. I personally have Apple's 6.6 foot/2M cable as it is the longest/best charging cable for type C you can buy right now at $19.

I haven't noticed any issues. The phone doesn't really get warm either. This is using an e-marked (chipped) cable as well, so if it fails, it's Huawei's fault for breaking USB spec.

Has to be a certain gauge or something for this cable.

Thanks, order placed. I expect it will fast charge, but not supercharge.

I bought a couple of these on AliExpress, they look excactly the same (so they are 'short') and they do work with SuperCharge, very happy with them!
I think you would need a REALLY REALLY thick cable if you want to charge with 5 A and have a longer cable.

H932 T-Mobile V30 Original USB-C Cable Does Not Support Fast Charging?

I bought a new T-Mobile V30 on Swappa, and noticed I don't have Fast Charging working. The white USB-C cable is thin, short (under 3 feet), and appears to be USB2.0. Is this the cable other T-Mobile V30 owners have? I found it weird that original charger support QC3.0, but the cable does not. I tried a USB3.1 cable, and sure enough, the Fast Charging is working. I am wondering if the seller swapped out my original USB-C cable.

I have the H933 and it came with the white cable you mentioned above. I bought a cheap 15watt wireless charger from Amazon, and it does not report fast charging. I assumed it was because of the product, now I'll have to try a different cable!

It seems T-mobile cheap out on the USB-C cable and gives us a USB2.0 cable that does not support Quick Charge. The original charger is a Quick Charge 3.0 charger (18W I believe), so you don't really need another charger unless you want multiple ports. I bought some cheap USB3.1 cables on Amazon to use with the original charger and my phone does report Fast Charging.

Why is T-Mobile responsible for what LG puts in the box? The garbage cable included with any model of V30 and V30+ are what LG ships the unit with! I personally haven't used the cable that came with either of mine or the wall charger. I do have a few premium cables on my desk though that use a powered USB 3.0 hub to charge my devices. Amazon and MonoPrice will have some cheap and better solutions than the crap that came in the box.

Well, I am not 100% sure, but given each carrier model of V30 have slightly different accessories, the carriers probably have a say on what accessories included in the box. I agree the cable is crap, but the included charger is a QC3.0 charger so it probably beats a non-QC USB3.0 hub for fast charging.

The only accessory that differs are the headphones. You get them with the V30+ and don't with the V30. I can't remember if the headphones are different overseas than the ones you get in North America but I doubt there is much difference, if any.

Ordinary USB cables that support dash charging

I've read countless comments here about how dash charging requires a compatible charger and cable. However. I recently made an unexpected discovery that certain cables sold on Amazon support dash charging with the Oppo branded VOOC chargers (but apparently not the OnePlus branded charger). I discovered this by accident when I plugged this cable into my Oppo charger:
Cable Matters USB-C Cable (USB A to USB C Cable/USB C to USB Cable) in Black 6.6 Feet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S8GU544/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_dkTJBbN069J3Z
Using this cable I get the beep, the blue light and the dash charging icon, and my OP6 does in fact charge at the faster rate. Wondering if it was a fluke, I bought a second cable and got the same results. This is great since these cables are 6 feet long, thin and flexible, and appear to be well made.
Now here's where it gets really weird: both cables only dash charge when plugged into the Oppo branded wall charger. When connected to the OnePlus charger they only charge at the normal rate. The Oppo charger looks exactly the same only with different branding. I do not know why these cables seem to work with one but not the other. I cant think of why they would support dash charging at all except that maybe they're made for the Chinese domestic market.

I've read countless comments here about how dash charging requires a compatible charger and cable. However. I recently made an unexpected discovery that certain cables sold on Amazon support dash charging with the Oppo branded VOOC chargers (but apparently not the OnePlus branded charger). I discovered this by accident when I plugged this cable into my Oppo charger:
Cable Matters USB-C Cable (USB A to USB C Cable/USB C to USB Cable) in Black 6.6 Feet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S8GU544/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_dkTJBbN069J3Z

I got the Oppo wall charger on eBay from a Chinese seller.

More pics showing dash charging working with these cables.

Is it safe for your cellphone?

From what I understand, OP has a way of knowing if one of their cables is connected. If using a generic cable, it will default to slow charging.
Seeing that OP fast charging is based off of OPPO fast charging, it should be fine.
I would assume the OPPO brick doesn't care who's cable you're using as long as it can support the higher charging rate

Ordered both, the USB/C cable was just delivered, 3ft is long enough. Found it on Amazon for $5 and the OPPO charger on eBay for $10, that's about a 1/2 price of Oem from OP site.($8 and $20 respectively) It's always good to have a spare 'just in case'.

Interesting find.

I think it's a sure bet since OnePlus and OPPO are under the same corporate umbrella. They might even have the same R&D for accessories.

I have read people recommending to get Oppo VOOC charger brick, as it supports Dash Charge.
Oppo and OnePlus are same companies.

Yes, its recommended to just buy oppo charger / cables. Both are the same and support dash (same name with vooc) . It's alot cheaper too.

Sometimes its the only option.
I am in Australia and the only charger with Australian pins is available through Oppo.
OnePlus does not manufacture AU chargers currently.

I have the official oneplus dash charger and the dash charging is activated with all the cables I have (an old huawei cable, and 2 generic ones) , but it took 3 to 4 seconds for the phone to activate dash charging while it is almost instantaneous with the official cable.

act OPPO and ONEPLUS is made in China and same parent company...instead of dash charges, OPPO call it VOOC

What about OPPO rapid (aka dash) car chargers for OnePlus?
If you can wait for shipping from China:
$8 - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-O...pter-Cable-For-OnePlus-6-5T-5-3T/223031157260
$13 - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-O...e-C-Cable-For-Oneplus-3T-5-5T-6/263870632520?
Perhaps this $12 VOOC will work? https://www.amazon.com/TOOGOO-Type-C-Charger-Carregador-iPhone/dp/B07HFNB3HZ/

Hi all
Thanks very much to the o.p. for providing this solution to wanting a longer-than-OnePlus's-maximum-150cm (4ft 11in) length cable that actually fast-charges...

I'll be purchasing a "Cable Matters" 6.6ft cable based on the 1st post's suggestion, however if I can avoid buying the "Oppo branded VOOC charger" I would.

I was hoping to clear this up before proceeding with the order.
Anyone else able to get non-OnePlus OEM cables fast-charging with the OnePlus oem power supply wall charger?

For Indian Users:-
SKYVIK Blaze Nylon Braided Type C Dash Charging Cable for One Plus 3 3T 5 5T 6 6T (5V/4A)-2 Metre https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07GTX2F61/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_yIy7BbQMREE97
This Cable supports Dash charging and it is considerably long as compared to stock Cable.

Has anyone found a 10ft cable that is compatible with warp charging?

BlitzWolf BW-P12 supports dash 20 on my op6t in case anyone needs a powerbank with Warp charge. they do not advertise it anywhere, it just works. Also the advertised low power charge does not work.
