Hello
I've just bought 4 of the quick chargers for in the car.
They are the Incipio car chargers.
They were not cheap but I can't find any in the UK.
I have bought 4. I'm thinking that some of you UK note 4 users/lovers will want one of these, considering how they are just not available over here in the UK at all yet!
Let me know if you are interested. £30 including postage.
£30 for a car charger seems a tad steep......
A tad steep indeed
They are costing me that much. I did think that myself but then I thought I'd buy 4 and spread the shipping cost to bring the price down.
Actually I've just checked and Incipio have charged me 132.96 US dollars.
So I think that works out at about 20 each. I'll sell them for £25 Inc postage within the UK. If I don't sell them then I'll just get a mains adapter for car adapters so that I can use them in the house.
Arrived and working great. I'm looking for £25 each plus postage - basically cost price (give or take). UK requests only
I'm trying to convince the seller to allow me to be a UK distro but we'll see on that one!
At 25 quid a pop i can't see you distributing too many of them.....
Agreed. I bought the 4 just to have one myself in the car, use one with a mains adapter as a substitute fast charger at work, sell the other two at cost price (see earlier post). I'm hoping that the price will come down. The thing is that the tech is different. These use 5v and 9v output. It is this which is the fast charge element.
I have tested the charger. With sat navigation on it charges at 55 to 65% an hour. With the screen off this goes up to 85% an hour.
These figures are achieved when the Note 4 is at 30% battery.

How much for one if I collected mate? I'm working in London all week this week. Cheers.
At £20 I lose money and at £25 I make a little. I'm not interested in making money so £22 if you're collecting. I'm at a conference in Moorgate today but can meet after. PM me.
PM sent.
Can't get a rise out of you on PM. Do you want my money!? Either way, let me know so I'm not awaiting a reply and I'll look elsewhere. Cheers!
Received on Monday. Many thanks mate. Notice an immediate improvement in charge time over my old Proporta 2amp bog standard charger.
Do you still have any up for sale?
Yes there is one left. Still sealed in the box. Email me marcyspark at gmail dot com
Incipio car chargers i dont find that good at all because they are picky with what devices uou are charging. If you use any adapters to charge other devices the charge rate drops considerably
It's charging my HTC ONE M8 just fine at 8v (probably actually 9v but accounting for loss through the pass through multimeter) steady with current varying from 2.0-0.5a largely depending on how full the battery is. Seems QC2.0 will alter the current at stages. <=80%ish it pulls a higher current. >80%ish it starts decreasing to almost 0.1a at times. Not sure why exactly but what I can say is QC2.0 is noticeably faster then a bog standard 2a charger. Like, really noticeable. I'm impressed.
still hunting a QC 2.0 car charger

Now that's a sweet find.
yesterday my phone was at 65%, I needed to use google nav cuz i had no clue where this place was, it was pluged in ofcourse, one hour later when i got there, my battery was at 68% and i thought... Ive got to find some way to charge this faster, and bam here I am.
So i just bought it, and realized its from hong kong, how long did shipping take for you? Whenever i order anything from hong kong it takes like 3 weeks.
Motorola P513.. $12 shipped, arrives in 3 days. It works great, it'll work for a long time, has a good cable, connector... And more likely outputs 5V, etc..
God knows what a $.99 charger from ebay spews out.

Sigh... Of course it is, the Motorola is a fast charger. I think that's the topic here, yes?

My point is bad chargers do not properly regulate voltage. That clear enough now?
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.

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...
This is the device that I used to do some underwater charging with the Samsung Galaxy S5. If you want to see that, please go here:

Moving right along. I've used a lot of RavPower usb power banks. When I used to go out to the field a lot or traveled overseas, these things were super handy. Some of them have ridiculous capacities. I setup a hotspot for a group of 5 people in London for an entire day with a portable charger and HTC One X back in the day.
The RavPower 2 in 1 offers much less capacity than some of their other products, however the 4800mAh capacity will give you at least 1.5 full charges. This should get most power users through the day.
The QI charger has a little cool factor, but it is really useful. Say you go to lunch and want to put it on the table and charger it while you eat. There you go. Now you can. Plus you can check notifications, e-mails, etc without having any cords. Charge rates are reduced, but even at around half the charge rate vs the OEM cord it does an adequate job.
It can also be used as a replacement for a normal bed side QI charger. Just plug it in and it basically acts like a normal QI charging pad.
There's still a standard USB port present. Output for that is 1 full amp.
Not all of their power banks come with a charger since they have a common MicroUSB input, however this one does.
Most of their products are available on Amazon. This one is $56.99 shipped currently on Amazon.

Does it heat up really badly?
Not really bad, but just like all QI charging solutions, heat is a byproduct.

Thumb up for RAVPower. Got several of their portable battery chargers. Works great! And my favorite is the ravpower luster 3,000mAh that comes with a flashlight. Very handy. It worths more than it costs.
Can't seem to find any that have the higher voltage for QC 2.0 to charge a Note 4, anyone else have any better luck?
It's a bit new to see that in battery packs and multi port chargers.

Ouch on that Incipio price - $89.95. For that you could buy 8 phone batteries with 4 chargers:

I have a couple of 13000 and 15000mah external battery chargers but they aren't Quick Charge capable.

yeah, that's a little pricey for what it is...
If I get a little more disposable cash, I'd consider putting a minimum quantity order in and sell a few to those on here at cost plus shipping. It's worthwhile to resell if you can beat other sellers to the punch and make a penny. Once these become commodity and the prices drop, it's not worth it unless you're a big time seller. The profit per piece usually cuts it close for the time you invest fulfilling orders and dealing with problem ones. I got hosed on Note 2 cases a couple years ago where the cases were crap. One drop and the Note would pop out. Couldn't get the seller to take them back, and I didn't feel comfortable selling them knowing I'd get complaints (if it happened to me on multiple occasions.) Still have them. Might just unload them cheap when I get around to it.
With the QC options out there, I wouldn't buy a battery or charger that didn't have one QC port on it at this point. Funny, all the people wanting their wireless charging. I'll take QC any day.
Going back to the cheaper option approach - you can get the Anker charger plus two extra batteries for $25.00 and this Anker 10,000mAh external battery for $23.00:
http://www.amazon.com/Compact-10000mAh-Portable-External-Technology/dp/B009USAJCC/ref=sr_1_4?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1422131778&sr=1-4&keywords=anker+power+bank
Swap out batteries and use the external battery pack plus the charger to charger the spares. Charging won't be as fast as Quick Charge but hey, it's on the spares. For $48.00 you have a whole heck of a lot of spare juice available. And there are higher capacity but pricier external batteries available.
I have the OEM charger and spare battery. I keep it in the center console charged. If I need to I swap and let the dead one charge. If I have a heavy day and can't charge I grab the charged spare. I use a pack to charge other things when needed and once in a while the phone. So if I were to replace it, it would be with one with a QC option. Not everyone is buying a battery pack specifically for the phone, but if your going to buy one, why not have the QC option? It's also less time you're tethered to a charger when needed.

& how much time does it take to fully charge a Drained battery
So we know which charges how many times, Once or twice or more ....
Thank you all
I recently acquired a newly updated choetech wireless fast charger. I was pleased with the updated design as it was not circular anymore. It charges in approximately 2 hours for 0-100%. I was very satisfied with this charger and would recommend to anyone on here looking for one. The one drawback of this charger is you have to have an extra wall brick that supports fast charge. The phone comes with one but for people not like me that will only use the phones charger this would become a problem. They run about $10 on amazon so not a huge deal. At 23.99 this is the best fast wireless charger you can get. The Samsung one costs like $70 and is arguably designed worse. If you guys have questions about it just ask me. Here is a link to amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016DAFUGY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00
Interesting this one costs about the same as the yootech fast wireless charger I have, mine is triangular though and works just fine charging the device from 0-100% within 2 hours like the one you have. Amazing how much Samsung can charge for their wireless charger when there are now cheaper alternatives out there that people will actually buy because of the money they will save compared to Samsung's and it works nearly the same.
yea with the samsung charger your paying for the name
