car charger that charges as fast as wall charger?

[demarco5]

What car charger can i order that charges as fast as the wall charger, can someone provide a link?

 

[dmgabe]

Find any cigaret lighter adapter that provides a usb power support then just buy another cable, should be out under $10. USB power is a stander thing therefore, wall or car the USB outlet provides the same 500ma of current.

As always I could be proven wrong, but this is what my research has indicated.

 

[demarco5]

yeah i heard different like you need 800 or something ugh

 

[ginigma]

I guess that I get to prove you wrong.

The Moto supplied wall charger puts out 850mA and the car charger I ordered is good for 1000mA. While the spec for USB is 500mA, that's usually what a port on a computer delivers, but even then a computer can deliver more, depending on drivers.

 

[dmgabe]

Well there you have it. Either way, you should be able to go to your local electronics store and find a usb car outlet that puts out enough power just look for 850ma or higher. I did see the 850ma shortly after i posted earlier. It took me a while to find the wall charger, since I always use the computer.

I have been looking around to see if I can find a charger that fits your needs, can't find one that give me the current ratings though. The individual that has the 1000ma charger above might be able to help better.

 

[dmgabe]

This is an option.

Provides 1000mA and is under $20. You can probably find cheaper options if you look around.

 

[dmgabe]

My reason for suggesting the USB outlet instead of a dedicated charger is that it could serve more uses than just charging your droid. I have one and find all kinds of things to charge with it.

Do you think this one would work with a separate data cable?

Amazon.com: 3-in-1 Charging Kit "1000mA" for Apple iPod Nano 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, Includes USB Wall Charger, USB Car Charger, USB Charge/Data Sync Cable w/ IC Chip + DBROTH Microfiber Cleaning Cloth: Electronics

Though I can't find a data cable under $20

Should. I know I have seen cables for under $5 so keep looking. I will link to some when I get back to my computer.

I just picked these up from Monoprice and they work great! Depending on shipping costs, you're only looking at $5-$10 at most.

Car Charger (Cigarette Lighter) to USB Female Converter - Black

USB 2.0 A Male to Micro 5pin Male 28/28AWG Cable - 3ft

Might as well pick up some longer cables for the wall charger while you're at it too.

Don't think you are gonna find a sweeter deal. I might pick these up for myself. Good find!

I'm wondering why that charger isn't for iPhone...?

 

[e39e60]

Don't forget to check your old devices. I have a MICUSBVPC charger branded Verizon and I have no idea why. But it's the right one for the Droid too.

This cable is available dirt cheap online unbranded (no logo) but I don't know what the specs are for power rating. Sorry.

If you live near a Target search online for CLAUSBBLK (also on Amazon) and see if that is in stock anywhere. It looks cool but again no specs. But if you live near a store that has one you can see for yourself.

Motorola P513 Car Charger says "will provide express battery charging"
I just ordered one from Amazon for about $9 after CA tax and S&H. Motorola sells it for $29.99.

$6.00 free shipping wall charger here. I didn't order it b/c I ordered a similar one from the same seller as my car charger.


Will update when I recieve em to let you know they work. I don't see why they wouldn't they're OEM Motorola.

I get concerned about the overall life of my battery when I start hearing 'Fast Charging'. Everything I've read about Li-ion batteries is that they shouldn't be fast charged and it will degrade the chemistry of the electrolyte (calcify it I think they said) and cause it not to hold as full of a charge or the charge goes away faster.

I may be wrong, but I've been reading this stuff in science journals and stuff written by John Goodenough (inventer of Li-ion batteries)
