[Q] Car charger 1000mah

Hi everybody, I am looking for a car charger for my HD2. I would like to ask if you think that a 1000mah one would damage the phone?
I have found some on eBay and I was considering buying it.
Please let me know what you think.

The standard mains power adaptor that comes with the phone is 1000mA so no it won't damage it.
Even a 5000mA won't, the phone will draw as much current as it needs.

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking of buying the charger and a car mount, so that I have my GPS needs for this years vacation, but I already had bad experience with a car charger that was not able to charge my wife's HTC Diamond when using GPS, that is why I want to buy a good one.

Try these: They work perfectly for me. The charger is a Motorola original charger.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130487

I use an original Nokia N97 car charger and I never had any problems. I suggest you do the same, they are a little more expensive than the other ones, but a car charger has to be able to give enough juice to the phone while running. A friend of mine uses a similar charger for his HD2, he even tried a charger with several normal USB ports and they can't supply enough power for the phone.

Thank you all for the replies. I have seen both chargers, and the Nokia N97 one is even cheaper on Amazon. I will probably go with the Motorola one, as it seems to have enough power for the HD2. I was able to find out that its maximum output is 950mah, which is not bad for a cell phone charger.
Looks also like a more durable one, and if the manufacturers won't change the port soon, might be able to get it to charge my future phones as well.
Now for a car mount, I will probably go with the Exomount, as I have read some very nice things about it, plus it is universal, so I'll be able to have it hold much more than this phone.
Hope this thread helps someone with the same questions as I had.

Micro usb is the agreed standard amongst most mobile phone manufacturers to reduce wastage in having to produce umpteen different power adaptors, plus it reduces manufacturing costs.

amen to that , I was tiered of having so many different charges at home. At least at that time Nokia ruled the world (mobile world I mean), and most of them were Nokia chargers, hehe
But I prefer the micro usb norm. I just hope they will not invent a mini micro usb in the new devices. My xperia x1 and touch pro use a mini usb, which was the standard at that time

What is the max that the HD2 can get from the car charger?
I have a 500ma car charger, but when using the GPS it doesn't really charge, it seems that it only gives the same amount as the drain. (few days ago when I had 64% I connected the charger and drove for another hour or so, GPS always active, upon arrival battery was 63%)
will a 1000ma charger "charge" the battery during long drives?

I have a Brodit Active holder it works very well.
With GPS and Navigon on still charging.
I cannot put a link Serch for Brodit active holder HD2

yes that will do the job,
if it does not, solder the 2 inner terminals together and that will make your phone think it plugged into the mains charger
i bought a cheap 1amp usb charger from deal extreme and did the above

Be careful with the soldering. If the charger can't supply 1A, it might damage the phone /car/charger.

Wireless charger and some questions.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F6SPYJS/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I recently purchased this from Amazon. Not a bad buy for $22, but some quirks. I noticed that if you are going to charge with a case on, you need an optimal charger and cable. With anything less than that, the charger will repeatedly cycle on and off. With case off a 1amp charger will work, with case on you need a 2amp charger and good cable. Also, the sweet spot on the phone is somewhat small, so it needs to be positioned with some precision, can't just be dropped onto the charger.
Here's the one problem and I don't know if its the charger or G2. The phone charges fairly rapidly. So if I awaken in the middle of the night for some reason which I will not discuss here, the phone will be fully charged and the charging will shut down. However, over the rest of the night the charger doesn't turn on and the phone charge trickles down to something around 97%. Even if I take the phone off the charger, the charging won't immediately start up again. I haven't determined if there is a point at which wireless charging will be re-enabled but all works well when I replace it on the charger the following night.

This is the charger. I have a Samsung Qi S4 charger and it will continue to trickle charge throughout the night. When I pull mine off in the AM, it's at 100%.
The more expensive chargers have multiple coils in there to allow "drop and charge" and also have better charging programming to trickle charge.
The cheaper ones work well, but as you mentioned, are a little trickier to find the sweet spot and just turn off when reached 100%. The cheap ones are good for travel and office charging, but I'd buy a better one for bedtime charges.

These get good reviews and are cheaper. I don't own one to know how it operates, but reviews look good. Ebay also has one that I think is the same device for $10.
Here is my Samsung Qi Plate:

Thanks. Yeah, I was thinking of doing that. Using the coil at my work desk and the more reliable plugin at bedtime. At least with a plug in and suboptimal cable, I'll get a slow charge warning but eventually completely charged in the AM.

You won't get the Slow Charge message at all using Qi. In fact I use a standard USB 5V wall plug that spits out 500mah. It complains just using the cable, but not the cable and Qi.
I recommend slow charging bedside anyway (either wired or Qi). You'll get a MUCH longer lasting battery that way. Fast Charging is also Fast Depleting.

Battery Issues.

I'm getting 5 hrs sot with my nexus 6 almost every time I charge it, but the problem is that it takes almost 3hrs, the charging time was normal i.e. 1.25hrs when I bought the phone and it worked normally for almost 2 months but now for almost a month it's taking 3 hrs to charge, I use turbo charger and my data cable is the original one, if my battery is faulty how can I check it? I don't have any random reboots. My main question is how can I check if my battery is faulty, there's no bulging on the back side

Kennel issue? If you have USB fast charge on try to disable it and see if that works.

I'm running the stock rom, I've tried different custom roms but the issue remains

Sounds more like a faulty turbo charger to me than a device fault. Based on your SOT and physical normalities, I'm definitely leaning towards the charger. Either contact the original place of purchase, or Motorola support and see if you can get a replacement. That way, you'll know for sure.

Yeah I'm from Pakistan and I bought the device from a local retailer, so no Google or Motorola, therefore can't return or exchange the device or charger, as I mentioned in the op, is there anyway I can check if the battery is faulty? In every battery app the battery health is good and in bootloader battery is ok, does every bootloader shows battery ok? Plus in Ampere my battery voltage never exceeds from 4v while charging and battery charge rate is normal

If your battery was faulty, you'd most likely see rapid drain or early shutdowns. I still think your charger is at fault. Considering it's far cheaper to replace a charger, I'd start there first.

It's either the charger or the wire.
If the data pins in the charger don't have a good solder joint on them, fast charge doesn't work. The same goes for the wire. If either of the 2 wires for data inside your charge cable are frayed or broken, again, fast charge won't work.
I suggest starting with the wire. Grab a new one. Make sure it is a wire that can transfer data. There are charging wires that are only good for power that cannot transfer data.

Thanks alot for explaining it like that, if you don't mind can you inbox me your number, I'd like to Whatsapp you to get more knowledge about this, should I get my turbo charger repaired or what?

I don't give out personal information on XDA for my own safety. However, please feel free to PM me and I'd be happy to help.

Curious in any case wouldn't a Samsung 2amp charger be considered as fast as the rapid charger that comes with nexus? After all in all newer high-end charging docks isn't it the amp output that makes it charge faster?
I use my Samsung white 2 amp on all my phones what make a the nexus piece better? ?

Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 Portable Fast Charger.... Fast Charging?

Hello,
Has anyone used a Quick Charge portable battery pack before? You know how when you plug it in to the wall or outlet it will say "fast charging", well I don't get that with quick charge.
Is this normal or should I be panicking?
Thanks

Which model do you have? I have the 15,000mah PB-T3 model & it fast charges my phone fine now. The battery pack itself even supports quick charge so the battery pack will charge at 9V with the Samsung adaptive fast charger or 12V with a certified QC 2.0 charger.
I say "now" cause the first one I received melted & died while charging it.
Have you tried another quality cable?

Also. You need to make sure your cable is plugged into the correct port. I am assuming you have one with two ports, either way if you do have the two ports only one of them is QC 2.0 enabled.

Mine doesn't say, but charges quick -

I was looking at the 10000mah one, the PB-T4 which is 6.5 x 0.6 x 2.9 inches in size.
I cant find anywhere the dimensions of the PB-T3, is there any way you could measure it?

The dimensions listed on Amazon & most other vendors is wrong. The dimensions you gave that's listed for the PB-T4 on Amazon is the size of my PB-T3. Before purchasing I was looking for dimensions also & in another thread someone measured the PB-T4 to be 6.25 x 2.5 x .75 which makes sense cause the PB-T4 looks narrower & thicker than the PB-T3.
I store mine in a Maxpedition TC-2 pouch.

Perfect. That seems like the best all around battery pack.
Heck, it's thicker but the footprint isnt much bigger than the LG V10 (or the Note 5 for that matter) itself.
I can carry the phone and batterypack together in my front jeans pocket easy.
Thanks again!

No problem. Yup, that's what I was worried about, being too big but as you said it's not much bigger than my N5 or the V10.
I was unlucky & the first one I got melted during it's first charge (the battery pack, not while charging my phone) so just to be safe keep an eye out on how hot it gets on your first charge. I liked this one the most out of all the others I was looking at so I took a chance with a replacement. Haven't had one problem with the one I have now.
What I like about is the most is it also supports QC2.0 fast charging & at 12v (but you'll need a QC2.0 charger to charge it at 12v & not an OEM that's only 9v max) so it's not just the output that is fast charging.
EDIT: Oh looks like I already mentioned the fast charging input in this thread.

You helped me a lot on this, thanks.
Check it out, I've got my shopping cart loaded up. That Tronsmart 54W, 5 port charger does the QC2.0 12V so I'm hoping it will charge up the Batterypack nicely
BTW, for anyone interested this is another nice looking single port charger also that I want but am holding off on: http://amzn.to/21GlCBh

Yeah, I was looking at that 3-port you have. Interesting that it is such high wattage, at 42W when the 5 port is only 54W. I'm wondering if the 3-Port has faster charging or something but all the QC2.0 port specs seem to be the same.
You might have seen, I'm planning to get this one for the car: http://amzn.to/1OOlcSp

Try this one. At least, you can use this in the near future because of type-c port. I'm definitely satisfied with this product.

Need help with the aukey power bank
Hey i read you've been using the aukey charger.
I an looking to buy yhe same but spectical about the performance.
Does the power bank itself charge using fast charging? If so which charger you use.
How long does it take for the power bank to charge completely using the output of your charger.
Thanks

I purchased the Aukey 3.0 do to the fact that it work with both micro USB 2.0 & USB Type-C 3.0 compatible. (I won't have to buy another one next year! Lol) I have to say it's quite remarkable. Small enough to put in my pocket with phone connected using a small cable. I got from 55% to full in about 17 min. while screen was off. Takes a while to charge the unit itself (which is to be expected with 10,000 mAh) The unit itself can not be fast charged. It also will not fast charge a phone while it is being charged itself. Simply put, with a $20 price tag (now $30), you can't go wrong. Next time I use it, I'll get some screenshots & add to thread.

AUKEY 16000 mah charge time
Hi all,
Thanks for a help-full post. i bought a aukey 16000mah power bank.
When i recharge the device using my Asus charger (5v 2A & 9V 2A ) from
my phone the device does not show full charge indication. The light on
the power button flashes (Breathing effect) RED, GREEN and then
WHITE. It never goes to SOLID WHITE which would indicate 100% charge
even after plugging it in for 9-12 hours.
I have also used a Aukey 10000mah power bank and in 5-6 hours its
light status goes to SOLID WHITE.
Is this issue only with me or has anyone else faced the same? How long
should the device take to recharge itself with 5V 2A rated charger
which is also mentioned on the device's INPUT rating.
Also would like to know if the light ever goes to SOLID WHITE with other users.
Thanks

Wish one of these codes worked on the 20000mah.

You should avoid Fast Charge or anything like that. It's extremely bad for lithium polymer to be "Fast Charged" the technical behind it is look at your power brick. Anything over 5v charging is to much and will shorten the battery life. I've seen 5.3 and 9.0. I use a 4.8v 2A charger on all my devices. The lithium polymer gets forced above it's operating voltage of 3.7 to 4.1v.

Confirmed fast charging (3amp) battery pack?

So I am back again asking about power.
Since switching to my Nexus 5x I have had to redo all of my power supplies. I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the Google wall options but now I have a request for something portable.
What I am looking for is a battery pack that can output the 3amps to quickly charge the phone, I dont really care if it charges quickly itself. The reason being is I have a solar panel that can push 1-2 amps and I was planning on strapping it to the back of the bike or leaving it on the tent to charge the battery over time and then using the battery to charge the phone.

I actually just purchased this
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BQ5KHJW?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
I got it for $21..99 on a lightening deal. Haven't tried it yet, but it outputs 3amps

I have an Anker Powercore 21000mAH external battery, using a USB A to C cable, Ampere reports charge rates up to approx 1700mAH. The lock screen reports charging rapidly.
The cable is a Pecham one, It appears to be good quality, nice and thick, braided cable and a positive fit at the 5x end. I was happy with the charging speed, having just read the google cable reviews thread not so sure.....

I own the Romoss Solo5, outputs at 2.1a and 1.5a. With a normal type C cable from CableMatters, I don't get rapid charging, but it does fill up faster than a generic usb charger.

Ill be curious to see what you get. My concern is they dont mention the specific output of the ports, just the overall 3 amp. I suspect its split across teh two ports in some fashion like most (where they can do 2 amps on a single port but then 1.5 across both)
I have a 2 amp charger but I am hoping for a 3 to get that max performance. The idea is I could use the phone for music, navigation, etc on the motorcycle and then get a very quick top up while breaking for lunch, etc.

You need a type C connector at both ends.
A USB type-C to type-A cable cannot and should not allow charging at more than 2A (0.5A for USB 2.0 standard), because that is the most allowed in the USB spec as mentioned by the Google engineer that's been reviewing Type-C cables on Amazon. In order to support 3A rapid charging you would need a battery pack with a type-C port on it that supports rapid charging. Even if a type-A port is capable of supplying 3+ amps, the phone will only charge at up to about 1.7A without the type-C port at both ends. I don't know of any battery packs that support the type-C spec yet, although I'm sure they're coming.

That is why I am asking. I dont care if it charges itself at 3amps because my sources wouldnt provide that anyway. Im looking for the battery pack itself to pump out 3 amps. Im holding out for one of those and until then I will work along with my existing ones.

Neat thing about this, you can use the OEM 5v 3a charger to charge it. Interesting to see if it charges faster than other options.

mysterious posted in the other thread that he/she ordered it. Im waiting with baited breath to hear the results. This might be the perfect all-rounder (dont really need the other ports but they dont hurt anything).
Could charge with my solar panels, could charge with the stock adapter and hopefully the phone quickly on a lunch break.

I love how none of these products ship to Canada, except the official Google stuff which is no out of stock.
