Having looked at a number of UK websites, only one said a USB cable came with the charger. I had been planning on buying an OEM 2 amp charger. Then I saw Clove were saying it came with a spare USB cable so the price of £24.99 didn't seem so bad any more. Got it on Friday and, yes, it did have a USB cable in the pack.
Tried it in my car runing Co-Pilot sat nav and my battery indicator showed that the charge was still going up so I am very pleasedwith it.
Only slightly disappointing thing is that the charger has only one output whereas some of the OEM ones have two, one 2 amp and one 1 amp. However, I tried it with my charger splitter and it still showed the charge was going up.
most cheap usb car charges have a screwable top; just take out the glass fuse and replace it with a 2amp/2000mA fuse which you can get at autozone, radio shack,home depot....pretty much anywhere
Really? if i just change the glass fuse i can use any usb car charge?
Is not dangerous for the electric impiant of the car?
No You can't. It is not the fuse that decides how much current the charger can give.
The fuse just protects the charger from blowing if something fails.
The regulator used in the charger sets the charging current.
true you can buy a regulator at radio shack. i've seen the 7805 for about a buck 50.
Ok, tnx guy!
Go to Best Buy or your local Apple store and pickup the Incase Ipad car charger. I've tested and works just fine with the Tab.

There are generic 2A USB cigarette lighter / car chargers on eBay for a third of the price. Worth trying too
Would you mind posting a pic of the charger?
I just bought Samsungs Car Adapter kit (ECA-P10CBECSTD) from local store, 27.90€.
It comes with cigarette lighter 12/24V usb adapter, 2 Amps 5V output, and a proprietary Samsung Tab usb cable.
A little pricey, ok, but now I have a second usb cable and a car adapter with enough output amps without fuss.

Here's the one from Clove.
Amazon UK are selling the Samsung car charger for £20.83. Pretty good deal with free delivery.
[edit]
Or there's this one also on Amazon for 99p (+£4.50 delivery!) which apparently can charge the Tab. You still need to add in the cost of the proprietary Samsung USB cable though to match the official car charger features, so not much of a bargain really...

My only concern is nowhere does it mention the cable actually comes with the charger.

That's all fine and dandy Paul but will an individual be bothered contacting officials just for the sake of a few pounds.
No, what I'm saying is why is it not listed..... and if anyone is considering purchasing one I would recommend they save themselves any issues by first contacting the seller to ascertain if the cable is indeed part of the deal.
If you check the item model number it's listed as a charger, nothing further.

OK well I've just ordered one so we'll soon see . The picture on Amazon looks almost identical to the one on Clove. Here's hoping they're the same otherwise I've bought the world's most expensive charger .
Guys, just so you know, you can get very cheap 2A chargers on ebay. The cable problem is still impossible to solve, but I'm sure Hong Kong people are working on it, so it might be best to wait a month and order a cheap replacement cable, rather then paying ridiculous amount of money for Samsung's original cable.
I ordered one of these a couple weeks ago:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...b43hTuXib7JjWUKJhg%3D&viewitem=#ht_1776wt_959
Came in today, and I swear the sync cable it came with is identical to the one my Tab came with, right down to the Samsung logo.
Car charger itself is a 5.0v/2000mA, looks well built, fused, and comes in a very nice retail package.
Considering the cable alone is $29 from my carrier, it's a hell of a deal. I basically bought a cable for $23 and got a car charger for free.
Hey croak that cellet charger doesnt work. it has the charging symbol crossed out... I guess you need to do usb2usb soldering mod to use any 5v2A charger. I saw the thread on here...

Paul,
Any luck with this item?
So one of the best things about the Turbo is the Turbo Charging. I wanted to be able to do this in my car, but there was no Car Turbo Charger on Motorola's website. Eventually found out that they don't make one, but other companies do. After looking on Amazon, found this guy: http://goo.gl/rbfX1H Only cost $16 (at least when I bought it) and has additional usb charging port for additional device. Comes in white as well. And yes, it turbo charges the same as the home turbo charger which is awesome!!!
The key is to just make sure the charger supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 - there are several others on Amazon you might want to check out, but I found this one to be the best for the money and features and it's working great for me!
This is pretty useful, I didn't know we had quick charge on car
Umm... Verizon sells them.

Still loving my Onite Quick Charge Car Charger - I added a YouTube video review (and unboxing) for anyone who wants a closer look at it: https://youtu.be/LMUCoRUbKyc

This is the one I bought. Probably the same one. Dual port Turbo charger. Don't worry. IF the 2nd device is not a Quick Charge device (old tablet, old phone), it's still safe. Will automatically downscale to the charge needed.
$15.99
Extsud® Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 USB Intelligent Car Charger With Two USB Turbo Fast Adaptive Quick Charge Ports
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XJ7OTS0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
I use the original quick charger that came with my phone in my car with an ac car power inverter. So anything with a normal plug can go into your cigarette lighter port. Basically something like this...
http://www.amazon.com/ENERGIZER-Ultra-Silent-Inverter-cigarette-compatible/dp/B00VMRHE7C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1438281631&sr=8-2&keywords=12+watt+car+power+inverter
This is a little expensive because it has USB ports too. But Walmart, Amazon, etc. always have sales on these. The one I have I got for $9.99 with tax. Just gotta look around. I just did a quick search for an example.
I haven't tried the two port ones with quick charge, however
The Choe 4 port quick charger adfoc.us/29745255996782
and the Tronsmart 4 port charger adfoc.us/29745256032891
have both performed great for me. I have to give the Tronsmart the edge due to simply feeling a bit more solid, not having a glossy finish, the longer warranty and the 5 star rating vs the choe's 4 star.
Someone tested this?
http://www.rockphone.hk/?show-113-1.html
From what I can tell nothing charges better then the OEM charger that came with the phone. Does anyone know where I can buy the exact same one?
Good choice for you
You can try CHOETECH Type C Charger. It seems charge as fast as google original factory charger.
Here pictures show the charge speed and total charge time(1 hour 35 minutes). (Pictures from choetech thread)
Nexus 5x's battery management is very sensitive to the temperature of the battery, the original 5v 3a charger is actually no quicker than most 5v 2a chargers.

What about the universal charger at the Google Store? They only sell one.
Going by this http://www.droid-life.com/2015/10/19/nexus-6p-nexus-5x-quick-charge/ it looks like OEM is the way to go. With all these being expensive ~$20 it seems like I might as well buy an OEM one.
First screenshot is my phone sitting idle using 279mA.
Second is the official LG USB Type-C charger that came with the phone, reaching a max of 2639mA.
Third is an Aukey QC 2.0 PowerBank with a Type-C adapter, reaching a max of 1226mA.
Fourth is an original Motorola Turbo Charger with an official Google USB Type-C cable plugged in, reaching a max of 1197mA.
Fifth is a Hikeren Thunder Charge adapter that claims to be 5V/3A, with a Google Type-C cable, reaching a max of 1962mA.
Sixth is a Samsung Fast Charger with a Google Type-C cable, reaching a max of 1845mA.
Last is a Tronsmart Type-C car charger, reaching a max of 1833mA.
Official LG USB Type-C charger: 2642mA
Aukey QC 2.0 PowerBank: 1241mA
Original Turbo Charger: 1314mA
Hikeren 5V/3A Thunder Charger: 1988mA
Samsung Fast Charger: 1961mA
Tronsmart QC 2.0 Car charger: 2511mA
I bought the Google single charger with attached USB C cable for $25, leave that in my work bag so I can charge anywhere. I like how the cable is thinner on this charger and it charges just like the one the 5X came with.

I'm glad that one works, but I don't think $25 is a good price for such a device. I'm also displeased that the cable is permanently attached.
I'm using NT90C (an older version than the currently available one) and it charges almost as fast. Those go for $15 at the most, and are a very good unit for the money.

I saw a few on ebay, but they are shipping from China, so I am concerned that they are fakes that will not work well.
They also have listings for the 6P charger and the pictures show the Huawei Part number, but the 5X one does not unfortunately

How do you find an LG service center, even a third party one, for mobile devices?
The service center locators on lg.com always seem to be for countries other than the US, and return "no data" when I search US zip codes. (E.g. http://www.lg.com/in/support/repair-warranty/locate-repair-center ). There's a "repair center" locator for the US, but mobile devices are not an option. The only option for mobile devices in the US seems to be to mail them in.

Please don't buy low price quickcharge Sony adapter:
on the right the one i've purchased as bulk original Sony UCH12 from a Ebay uk professional seller, on the left a original one purchased directly by Sony via Amazon.
On the right you can see a Counterfait Sony logo (different font, the O and N are completely different), blurred, smaller and totally unusable qr-code and misaligned text.
On the other side the Sony engraved logo are identical and there are very small differences (blurred and smaller quickcharge 3 and pump2 logo near usb connector)
Hmm, I'm was looking at buying some Sony ucb20 cables, the same that came with the phone, from eBay (China sellers). At little more than $7 for 3, I might take the risk.
Charges with 1900ish mA, and 2000mA with the screen off. https://www.ebay.com/itm/30W-Quick-...l-Charger-Adapter-EU-US-UK-Plug/263138546203?
Measured with Ampere Pro. The Anker PowerCore Speed 10000 QC Qualcomm QC 3.0 Charger with the screen on managed 2020mA.
Another fake from Ebay. Made by SANY
Fire hazard concerns? Would you trust the one I bought? A little concerned. Would like to buy the original Sony charger, but not available in the country I live in.
Measured mine to 25C-29C with an infrared sensor.
Its not the temp you need to worry about. Its the cheap components inside that will explode. Dont risk your life/home!
Ok, guys, i think i should warn u all about what happened to me.
I bought the cheapest Quick Charge 3.0 on ebay available from China, pretty easy to find it, it's the most common, if u do a quick research.
Just to be clear, this one:
Well, i don't know HOW exactly, but this pieace of crap makes my Xperia crazy, i made a video so you guys can understand:
https://youtu.be/KQf1-kImyBM
Funny thing is i thought the problem was the phone itself, some kind of hardware fault (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74418930&postcount=18)...
The black charger you see on the left is one original LG from my previous Nexus 5,of course no problems with that (unfortunately just up to 1400 mAh, don't know if it's barely Quick Charge 2.0...?)
Can somebody tell me what is safe to buy?
Some more pictures of my fake charger.
Tronsmart, Anker, uGreen are good products. I have a cliptec QC2.0 3A charger and it easily charged my previous moto x play at 2.4A maximum. Somehow it could only charge the xz1c at 1.8A I have no idea why.

Thank u for the advices!
About your doubts, i think u answer yourself. Im pretty sure the charger has to be QC 3.0, not just 2.0, regardless how much Ampere u see written..? Or am i mistaken?
So has anyone been able to actually charge their XZ1C at QC 3.0 speeds? I'm topping out at 2030 mAh with the provided UCH12 and USB cable that came in the box with the phone.

The xz1/c does not come with UCH12.
Hi everyone,
I think I've been taken in by an ebay dealer as well.
The charging speed doesn't differ much to the charger that came with the phone.
To be sure, does the XZ1/c say 'rapid charging' or simply 'charging' on the lock screen when it's connected to an UCH12 charger? In my case it says 'charging' but I guess it should be 'rapid charging'...
Many thanks,
SirLoKi
any other reliable third party companies besides anker? kinda pricey for cables and chargers..
I had been waiting for aftermarket Dash charging products and found a car charger on Amazon listed for $17.99
It works perfectly fine and "Dash" charges.
It comes with a Dash charging cable as well.
There were a couple other identical ones by different names but this one already had some positive reviews.
Update: It looks like the"APLUS" ones are out of stock. However, these LULUTEK ones are identical, just with a different label. They have really good reviews as well.
LULUTEK Dash Car Charger with Super Speed Charging Technology 5V 4A for Dash System OnePlus 3 OnePlus 3T OnePlus 5 Dash Charging, Qualcomm 3.0 Quick Charge Devices, Huawei, OPPO, HTC and More

76.93$ on Amazon Canada. Ugh. Sometimes I hate our Amazon so much.
Seems identical to the Baozu ones on Aliexpress, which perfectly too fyi.
Can I use any type c cable to get the fast charge capabilities, or does it have to be the red OnePlus made cable??

You still have to use a Dash capable cable.
However, you can find aftermarket Dash cables on eBay and Amazon for like $6.
This one actually comes with a Dash charger cable. Not bad for $17.99

that was my first test after receiving the convertor and phone battery was 80%-ish.
Here is another test with Power bank output 18W goes into convertor and 5volt/3A into phone.
I do a lot of charging test and measuring for fun. and this suit me Better than Most common 5v/4A circuit design from eBay /Chinese knock off car charger in Low budget
Google : YZXstudio ( if you are interested in the convertor )
It seemed that most of the devices that would charge at 5V/3A via USB-C to USB-C cable on my Nexus 5X, would only charge at about 2.4A on the OP5T.

That's the official car charger by OnePlus correct?
I'm wondering if this APLUS one is a safe bet. The Fakespot on their Dash cable on Amazon has a C rating.
For the OP, is this APLUS one legit... or would I be better off looking into the VOOC chargers that I know are the exact same technology?

No, the silver car charger in the adapter is QC3.0 from ZMI brand, along with QC2DASH convertor and charging meter when I first have it tested.
So just in case anyone is interested, here is ampere on the OEM wall charger that came with my phone (1st picture 3300 mA) as well as the Aplus dash car charger (2nd pic 3440). Interestingly the Aplus charger seems to charge ever so slightly faster, with a little more voltage and mA. I haven't noticed any issues with heat or anything else so far. I'm pretty happy with it, especially for the price.
now, if they would re-stock them...
