Original Data Cable
Original Travel Adaptor
:good:
Forgive me for asking, but is there any advantage to using an original charger, as opposed to any other charger?

wonder if anyone has experience with this Ebayer or is currently using this Desire Charger for their Nexus
http://cgi.ebay.ca/OEM-Car-Charger-...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item414ea8a6f3
c'mon i just want to get a frigging working car charger
Seeing as the micro-usb plug is standard on both, there is no reason for it not to work.
That's not what the OEM Desire charger looks like!

Ah yes, so they do
I want a charger with longer wire than the one which comes in retail box. I was going through this Nokia AC-20 charger. Can someone tell me if that will be advisable to use with N5? The output of that charger is 750mAh, so I guess it will take some more time to charge which is fine with me. Should I go for it? Is there anyone who uses the AC-20 charger?

Personally I would go with wireless charger. I have the Google charger at my work desk and a different one at home I use as my nighttime dock.
Problem is that these chargers are not much available in India, moreover the prices are too high.

I don't use car chargers as I don't think they are safe! A simple crank of your engine causes the voltage to go up a lot... Even though the branded ones are totally safe, I prefer not to use them..
However, here is one which I'm eagerly waiting for... http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-air-dock
Why don't you just buy a longer 6ft+ USB cable and attach it to the charger?
The plugin part of the charger is the important part. The port is a standard microUSB cable so you can use whatever cable you want.

I was trying to use my old Nokia CA 101 which is a long cable than other but the charging time was way less than the stock one. Currently I'm using a Nokia AC 10E which belongs to my friend. This charges my phone really quick and comes with a long cable. But I have to return it this weekend. I tried looking for it in ebay India but unable to find 1.

I tried it already with a longer Nokia USB cable which is charging the phone slowly. So I need to buy a cable which can charger is at the same speed as the stock one.

Look for Blackberry chargers. I picked up a set of 2 on ebay for $5 w/free shipping. They have 6' cords and charge extremely fast. As fast as my N7 adapter I use at home. I keep one in my pack for school and one at work. (i know you need european but i'm sure they have those too, just note BB has quality accessories)

Not all are the same. Not even close. I've used 2A chargers with a faulty cable that brought it down to 500ma. You will know when you find a good one, it will charge 0-100 in 40 minutes.

Guy who recommended BlackBerry accessories is right they are so well made. My charger came with UK and Continental plugs
From my mobile telephony device.
Is there any way to quickly check the output amperage from a charger? Can you take accurate readings from the phone with an app or something?

by reading the very fine print on the charger. usually it will say output = xyz.
always want at least 1.0A
official nexus charger is 1.8 i think, samsung galaxy s4 is 2.0A
Official charger is 1.2 A.

Hi!
I wonder if you know a good site to buy quality charging cables?
The cables should be 3 meters long and be able to charge with 1900mA.
Kind regards, Mattias

Does your phone charge at the same charging speed as your original one when using this cable?

I almost never trust labels. Try sticking a multimeter to the plug and measure amps and see what you get

Try to replace your USB cable, 99% of the cases he's the culprit.
Its only 850ma output. It's just a sh1t charger

I think any micro usb cable will work
And for a charger anything that output over 1A / 1000mA but ideally around 1.2A / 1200mA
