What are you guys recommending for a usb 3.0 car charger? Is there a particular amperage I should be looking for?
There isn't an OEM charger for our devices yet, but if you get one, I'd suggest a 2A charger so you get that rapid charge speed.

I bought the Anker from Amazon. Works great. http://amzn.com/B00D82O68Y
Walmart has a Rayovac 2.0 amp charger for $7. Works great, but can't charge S5 and Note 3 at same time. Look for the "fast charge" one.

Anyone know if there are any devices like this that has 900mA output (or know what output the linked one has)? Seems that's the minimum needed to charge the Charge via USB. My current one rated at 700mA does nothing when plugged in the Charge.
My friend has one something like this and I was using it for my Charge and it worked fairly well. I am not sure if it is the same one but they look the same size, I just used the usb that came with the charge to plug into it and it worked. It also works well with his iphone 4 if that helps at all.

$1.99 free ship, takes a while because it comes from china, but worth the wait it is 1000ma like the wall charger.

Do you actually own this? I'm pretty interested in it as mine has stopped working.
I came from the fascinate and the wall charger was only 0.7A and the Charge wall charger is 1.0A
I was looking at some brands and found a Belkin Micro Charger for the car that charges at 2.1A (Says rapid charge)
Checked around for any other products and found this at newegg. $9.99 2.1A USB charger.

Edit: Also found this on ebay. knockoff no name. Looks the same as a scosche one I found.

This is rated at 2A and still retains the factory Cig plug if you need it:

Input: 12 ~ 24VDC. Output 5.0 ~ 5.5V. Output Current: 2000mA (total for the 5 charge ports)

The description says 2000mA total for the 5 charging ports. Is each one rated at a lower Amp or it is 2000mA to a device until you plug in another one.

IDK....I'll find out I guess...I ordered it.
I just ordered 2 off of eBay. Will see how they work.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00470C35E
I ordered this one, if it doesn't work or isn't small enough I will prob try the $2 one from eBay. Thanks for all the suggestions.
I bought a dual usb car charger (it has 2 usb ports) that says its for ipads or tablets, and supplies 2A. It does seem to charge faster than my other car chargers, but I think it also triggers USB mass storage mode, because apps stored on the SD card aren't usable when its plugged into this. Is this because of the USB cable i'm using (a generic USB to micro usb cable)? or is it because of the charger?
this is the charger - although Amazon's pictures don't exactly match - the one customer supplied picture does, though.

Any one know of any good wall chargers? Or any good car chargers?
I'm not interested in the usb plug kind. I'm looking for wall and car chargers that aren't usb and just charge (hope that makes sense).
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm in the market for dual home and car chargers.
I never knew about QuickCharge 2.0 that my Note 4 and my wife A500F is capable of, but now I see that.
I can't find any "dual" charger from known firm (Lots of at AliExpress). Is it just unavailable ?
Is there really a big difference between QC2.0 capable charger and 2.5A charger ? (saw Anker 2.4AX2 or iOttie 2.5Ax2).
Thanks!
I haven't seen a Qualcomm 2.0 Quick Charge charger that is both AC and a car charger. Getwow has both an AC wall charger and a car charger. Check Amazon. I have the Getwow AC wall charger and it works well with my Note 4.
thanks.
I'm not looking for dual as for both car/ac.
I mean dual USB port. one for home and one for car.
how important is the Quick Charge 2.0 ?
my opinion, quick charge is critical. it really works especially when your device has been drained. I doubt i would ever get another device without it. It is more important to me than wireless charge which is a convenience

Mind if I ask, as i'm not really into this.
Does it 'damage' anything, if using 2.1A, as I already have such a charger?

I have a Maxboost car charger that I bought from Amazon (US). And it has two USB ports. One 2.0 amps and the second is 2.4 amps. I've used both on my iPhone 6 and Note 4 without any issues.

It's not like the charger "pushes" current into your phone, but rather how much current the charger is able to provide if a device tries to "pull" that amount of energy from the charger. A charger rated at wrong(to high) voltage will on the other hand damage your device.

So shortly, Amp doesn't matter, but Voltage do?
Voltage should be 5, right?
Choetech makes a 4 port CLA. Works great on my GS6.
I can't post links yet but if you are Jedi material you can figure it out.

I bought one of these from Amazon it supports the Qualcomm fast charging
Quick Charge 2.0 iVoler Adaptive Fast Turbo Rapid Car Charger
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00V68OHAO
Hi
The S6 comes with what they call an adaptive fast charger. Because I am not too happy with the battery life on my S6, I am looking for an adaptive fast charger in an external battery pack. There are lots of portable chargers on Amazon and a lot of them say fast charging but I am not sure whether that is the same thing or they just say fast charging because they are around 2A. Is there something similar to what the phone comes with available in an external battery pack charger?
TIA
I've only seen 2 batteries that support the Samsung fast charge. Officially it needs to be Qualcomm quick charge 2.0 compatible. There is one from incipio that is $80 or so and one from Aukey for $30. The Aukey is out of stock right now on Amazon and I'm waiting to get one as well.
Also if you are looking for a multiport charger or cigarette lighter adapter Choetech make some that work really well and are QC 2.0.

Thanks. I'll take a look at the two you mention.
I also looker before at the Choetech cut I was rather put off by at least three people claiming it caused a fire!
For my car charger, I use my 2015 KIA Sedona's charger adapter that came with the purchase, and it charges just as fast as the charger that came with the S6.
However, the adapter does get a little hot, but not bad. Really surprised at how fast it does charge.

Currently I am using both N6P and M8.
N6P supports 5V/3A but no QC2, and M8 supports QC2.
I don't want to carry 2 chargers all the time, so I did little bit search and found this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0122P71FC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
It seems to be a good one, with 5V 3A, 9V 1.67A, 12V 1.2A, so now I guess I can use it with Zaptip.
Anything similar to that?

I have charger along with a USB-A to C cable. My 6P doesn't register as quick charging when using it.

On 5V 3A?
If that's what it's actually outputting then the nexus doesn't see it that way. I suppose it may be my cables. I don't have a USB-C to A adapter to try the C to C cable that came with the phone.
FYI I have this charger and it registers as fast charging with my Nexus 6p:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HPTU00E
Can't say for sure if it charges exactly the same power/speed as the stock charger, but did notice it was definitely charging very fast..
It's the $10.99 20W black version.

Says 5V 2.4A for each port. So I guess it would be slower than the stock one.

Possibly but it did say rapid charging and it did charge plenty fast to me.
Honestly the stock charger doesn't seem very fast to me

When I plugged in my 6P's 5V/3A charger at 19% it said it would take 1 hour to charge. When I tried my iPad brick(5.2V/2.4A) and a USB C to USB A I got from amazon and it said it would take 1 hour to charge from 18%. Both said charging rapidly. It seems as long as the wall adapter puts out 5V and 2A or more it should charge rapidly, regardless of the wall adapter being USB A or C.
This charger situation is a nightmare. But....
I bought one of these awhile ago for $12 on sale, and I didn't expect for it to quick charge the Nexus 6p, but it does seem to register as quick charging.

The charger listed in the first post will register as quick charging when using a USB 3.1 certified A to C cable.
