Compatible car charger? - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Can anyone recommend a car charger that's compatible with the honor 8? I also power a dash cam that doesn't need quick charge. I'd like one that has dual USB ports, one for the dash cam and the other quick charge for the honor 8. Thanks!

Would this work? It sounds like it will do non Qualcomm stuff at 9V/2A. I only needed a single port when I was looking for one so it was easier.

I guess it could work, but that 20-38 days delivery time is putting me off. Nothing on Amazon.com?

I ordered this one. Only had it one day so far. But seems to work well.

I've read the only chargers that do quick charge are from Huawei as it's a different standard.

no, you'll have to do some research into compatible chargers

Just order the official charger from huawei

That is true as Huawei's quick charge technology if vastly different from Qualcomm's or Samsung's.

Quick Charging Compatibility

Hi There,
Thinking of picking up the Honor 8 while I travel to the States. Just wanted to ask someone to clear up my confusion. So basically my question is:
Is the Honor 8 compatible with any Quick Charger ?
I know that most people have been saying that only the provided wall charger will quick charge the Honor 8 but , please excuse my ignorance/lack of knowledge here, if the provided charger is 9V/2A/18W , wouldn't a generic charger with those specs quick charge it as well ?
Also does the USB Type-C cable come into play with regards to the charging speed.
Thanks for any help. Just want to know because I'd like to have piece of mind that if I lose/break the provided wall charger I could buy another without paying the price of an Honor-Branded one.
Thanks

In Theory, regardings power supplies you're right.
The problem is more advanced: The charger provides 5V, (maybe even limited to 500mA) until the device handshakes successfully with the charger, and tells "hi there, I'm speaking hisilicon fast charging protocol. Oh, you do too? Great. How is the weather over there? Okay, enough smalltalk, please provide me with 9V, up to 3A, i can handle that without going into a puff of smoke".
The charger then reassures every 100ms or so, that the device connected is still the same... and keeps providing 9V
With a QC based charger, it might go "hi there I'm speaking hisilicon fast charging protocol. Oh sorry, i don't understand QC2.0. I can provide you with this legacy charging protocol". And the charger should recognize that it can provide 5V,2A - which will help, but won't be quite as fast as quick charging...
Lets see when Anker or some other company bring out a dual-lingual charger...
You should go with huawei's charger.

Thank you for your question regarding the Honor 8 and it's capabilities with quick charging. Your phone comes with a 9 V 2 A high voltage quick charger. It also supports 5 V 2 A chargers. Make sure you buy an official Huawei 9 V 2 A charger; unofficial quick chargers will not work properly. If you need a quick charger, you can buy one from Huawei Vmall or official Huawei experience shops. NOTE: The FRD-L02 shipped to the Indian market comes with a 5 V 2 A charger. (NS)

Car super charger

What type of car charger do you use, wireless or cable? Where did you buy it from? Does it have super charge also?
Indeed Huawei announced a car charger, and I've also wondered why I haven't been able to find it for sale anywhere.

We're all looking for a car charger that support Huawei's Supercharge, not Qualcomm's Quickcharge.
are they the same?
No. Huawei's Supercharge is proprietary. You need their chargers, and their cables, to get full charge rate. They have a car charger listed on their site, but so far, it doesn't appear to be available anywhere.

Why? This phone has fantastic battery life and insane charging speeds. Charge with SuperCharge at home, and top up if you need to with a slower charger during the day... but you shouldn't need to do this. A standard USB type C charger will work well. USB PD works even better.

USB PD requires negotiation with the device to determine maximum power output. The charging brick must negotiate, as well as the e-marked cables I am using, to come anywhere close to the power the Mate 9 is pulling.
The Huawei charger pumps over 25 watts of power into the battery. This USB PD charger is doing 20 watts, max, and even less really because of voltage conversion that the Mate 9 charger doesn't have to do.
Unless Huawei totally screwed up designing the phone, it is safe. USB PD is not like QuickCharge... it is part of type C's specification. I have used Google's USB PD charger on a Note7 and LG V20 with zero issues, and those devices charged extremely fast using it as well.

Because the Belkin 2A charger + cable I have now is unable to charge it while I'm also using it with Spotify and Google Maps with the screen on. When I turn the screen off it charges really slow (Google Maps still running). I use this phone for navigation also when I'm working and sometimes I need it just for navigation 4 hours (and back) and then I also use it as a hotspot on location with clients. So ideally I would like my phone to be 100% when I arrive an not 70, by the time I get home it's at 30 and then I have the whole evening with only 30 % left.
As far as I know USB PD isn't supported with the Mate 9 BUT using a charger and cable that do support should not be dangerous as the charge is negotiated. I do find it strange that yours draws 20 watts.... would like someone to verify because if it is I'm buying a USB PD charger as that is the future!
Does anyone know if the Mate 9 supports Qi wireless charging?

Dash charging adapter / cable?

Hello all,
some reviews are saying that for dash charging one needs a special kind of cable - is that true?
Are there power banks which offer dash charging?
Thank you for your input
It's true, you will need a dash cable and also a dash adapter. As far as I know, there is no dash compatible power bank available.

Actually there are Dash-compatible power banks, they just don't call it that. Dash is the same thing as VOOC, and there are VOOC power banks. Here's one:

Hi there,
Does anybody know if all the cables/adapters compatible with Dash Charge for Oneplus 1,2,3,3T,5,5T are automatically compatible with Oneplus 6 too? Many Dash charge accesories providers didn‘t update their product description pages and I‘m womdering if I am safe when buying them for my brand new Oneplus 6.
any help would be appreciated.
Yes, the dash chargers and cables are compatible between the OP3,5,5t and 6.

Interesting, has anyone tried one of these? I thought that VOOC/Dash Charging was a patented, proprietary tech that OPPO/Oneplus didn't license out? I'm curious if anyone has tried this and found it to charge as fast as the Dash brick/cable combo.

Not if it's built correctly. VOOC is 20W max - not really that much. I think QC 3.0 is 18W. I have a 20W Macbook backup battery I've been using for years and it still works fine.
It probably will wear out faster, but that's the case with any battery - slow charging means longer life. It's a trade-off.
It's not called Dash Charging anymore....Amazon and Bragi own the Dash Charging trademark. OnePlus just call it fast charging now...

oneplus should call it 5V-4A charging and make it work with any usb-c cables and other chargers that able to deliver 5V-3A.

Can we get Quick Charge?

Yeah, I am supposed to believe that Dash Charge is the best, but so much of what I do is mobile. That means I need a car charger. Those can be found with Qualcomm's Quick Charge, but not with the proprietary Dash Charge. Is it possible to add Quick Charge to the OnePlus 6's repertoire? Or maybe Power Delivery? I have chargers (and battery packs) that can do both of those.

You won't get dash charge with a power brick. They have an official dash charge car charger. I can get 8 hours SOT and 24 hour standby. Perhaps another phone if you are using it that much. These also exist https://www.aliexpress.com/item/-/32889438326.html

Question Charger ?

First Ever pixel phone and nowadays don't come with charger what charger you guys recommend. original google or something from amazon .
Also i only have a 15watt at home
Need a PPS charger for full speed. At least 30W.
The Google one is fine if you want official.
I did order the Google charger
Anyways, I never had wireless charging. Which wireless charger is good and reasonably priced - the Google one is not.

I rarely fast charge anything, I normally baby my batteries and just use very low wattage chargers, but I do own an Anker 3-port (2x USB-C 100W charge, and one USB-A, whatever that's capable of). I mostly use it with my tablet when I need to, but I've used it with my phone once or twice.
Using an Anker Nano II 30W charger here (PD/PPS), although most of the time I charge my phone through my laptop (C>C) to keep heat down.
Question would a s21 ultra charger fast charge on pixel 7?
Would my OP9 charger and cable be fine?
Since it limits the Wattage anyways
I think that with these 3 news that dedicate an article on the best chargers for our P7 pro, I think you should find your choice
xda-developpers => These are the best chargers, cables, and other accessories to buy for the Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro in 2022

I have a OnePlus charger 65w and a couple of Huawai Mate 20 pro chargers 40w (I believe). Will these charge the pixel on full speed? I'm awaiting Pixel 7 pro

Yes. The Warp 65W charger supports USB PD 3.0 PPS up to 45W (phone will charge at no more than 23W)

It is ridiculous that these companies can get away with selling a high price device without a charging block. Here is your brand new car, you will need to bring a gas can if you want to drive it off the lot. We do not supply gasoline as the time of purchase.
I recommend these 3 chargers:
Google charger, 30 W, USB-C only, 29 € (I own this one, works well, uses PPS, but makes some tiny noise sometimes)
Samsung charger, USB-C + USB-A, 35 W, 23 €, uses PPS as well
Wicked Chili charger, USB C + USB-A, 33 W, 25 €, GaN (I own this one, too, it also uses PPS, it's very small, but I'm not sure if it's available everywhere. In Germany, it is.)
I've got this Anker charger https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B016LPMFUA
But I've been charging the Pixel 7 Pro with an old LG Nexus 5x charger Which seems to charge a little faster than the Anker.
I was a little hesitant plugging the chargers in at first but after asking around ye old internet it seems both chargers will do the job fine for now. I'm at a loss which replacement charger to buy next though as there are so many to choose from.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Charger-Charging-Adaptor-Compatible-USB-C/dp/B0B4VY7WDH
This is the one I have, bought for my S21 Ultra last year. Supports 25W so I would hope it charges the S7 Pro fast enough. Ridiculously fast charging doesn't appeal to me, as it has a big negative impact on the battery. I charge my phones overnight at normal speed.
I have an Anker Nano II Pro (20W) in my travel bag but for overnight charging at home i use an Anker power strip with build in USB A ports that charges slowly in conjunction with adaptive charging.
