Car Charger?

I'm thinking of getting a Nexus 7 to replace my in dash OG Samsung Galaxy Tab 7. This means I'll need a car charger that outputs enough juice.
In my tablet experience, HTC Flyer/Asus Transformer/HTC Evo View/OG Galaxy Tab, only the OEM chargers put out enough juice to keep it charging under load.
So, what are the requirements, and has anyone found a suitable car charger that should meet those while wifi/Bluetooth/GPS are active?

I wad just thinking to use the same Motorola charger I have for my phone
My life for Aiur

The stock charger looks like a 2A/5V charger, much like the iPad
I use this for my iPad in the car

I have gotten away from using cigarette lighter chargers, and now just use a good converter. All my existing chargers and toys, including laptop, just plug into it.

Thanks folks.
Now to see if otg and charging can work together to solve the last problems.
No room for an inverter in my dash unfortunately.

I just ordered this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320779506851 from ebay
Its the cheapest one that I could find that specifically stated it has 4.2 amps max output (2.1 amp for each port).
With shipping, it was a little pricey at 20.00 but if it performs as advertised I'll be happy.

That charger should be fine, but in general believe no specs you see on EBay. A lot of cheap (this one is not) chargers made in China just flat lie. Listed as 5V 2amp - well yes, just not at the same time. You can have 5 volts or two amps, just not at the same time. Even a good brand name does not help you - there are a lot of fakes. Look at the construction, and run some simple tests if it matters.

what is a converter going to do?
You mean inverter.

I also used an inverter, but my alternator kept failing...Not sure if there is a connection...But I don't think its the most efficient way to utilize the 12volts DC, converting it into AC and then the AC power cord converts the juice back into DC. Seems like a waste.

You wouldn't happen to have any pictures of your in-dash tablet setup would you? I'd be interested to check it out bro.

When this same question is asked for most 2amp devices lately the answer has been this ^ Although it's only 950mA
Especially for those wanting to use their phone's in the car with GPS turn by turn navigation, streaming and bluetooth enabled.
The Genuine Original Motorola Rapid Rate Charger is the only one that has really worked.
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Vehi...&keywords=original+motorola+car+quick+charger
YMMV, Now to find the vendor that sells the real thing..

I've just ordered one from Amzon, is a dual usb port one, 2.1 amps on 1 port, 1amp on the other, gets good reviews saying that it charges power hungry devices quickly and only a couple of quid!! http://www.amazon.co.uk/TRIXES-Char...VSRK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1342262522&sr=8-2

this is the 4 port usb charger that charges the samsung galaxy note 10.1 without any adapters, only one port will charge it properly but that is all you need and you can charge your phone (mine is a note II) with the other and have 2 more ports for ???

it does need some superglue on the sides, as the case split a little on me, but for what it does and is and for the price, I'll glue it.

I'm using the Apple 10W USB AC wall charger. What I like about it is the USB receptacle - it doesn't connect on the sides, which is very annoying when you're charging from an power extension board. It also has a lot less electrical noise, so using it to charge an unmodded stock Galaxy SII doesn't affect the touchscreen sensitivity. And because the AC head is detachable, I can switch it with other heads or use an AC cable.

I'm using the original cable that came with my Note 2, sometimes the Galaxy S2 stock cable. There's no difference in time taken charging when using either cable.
It's like they're made for each other

EU Fast charger for Huawei Mate 8 Dual NXT-L29 64Gb 4G LTE Champagne Gold

Hi,
I live in Norway and purcased the Huawei Mate 8 Dual NXT-L29 64Gb 4G LTE Champagne Gold modell.
As expected the charger is not working in Norway.
Anyone can suggest a converter or where to by EU fast charger for this device?

I guess it would.
There was also a USB cable, that I can stick in a contact that I already have, but then I would not get the fast charging.
I accept that this might be a trade off for having 4 GB version, but would be nice to have the fast charging option

I have the same type phone you have, and using this converter, which doesn't cost a thing, fast charging works just fine :good:

Found an adapter , works like sharm

If anyone is looking for a replacement/second charger, this item is genuine:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Original-5V-OR-9V-2A-QC2-0-Fast-USB-WALL-Charger-adapter-for-HUAWEI-honor-7/32669233630.html
I have received it today - it took only 2 weeks for the item to arrive in Poland.
I can confirm that the phone detects it as a quick charger. Regular QC2.0 and QC3.0 chargers do not charge Mate 8 quickly.

hmm they do not?
i just got an aukey qc 3.0 car charger and...yes, it does not charge quickly.
why?
what does the charger (car charger) need to say in order to charge it fast?
---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 AM ----------
found this info :
To experience full charging speed, you have to find chargers that support Huawei's Fast Charging Protocal (FCP). Merely having a charger that can output 9V2A is not enough. Chargers that support FCP will also be compatible with Qualcomm quickcharge, but not necessarily vise versa.

True. It's only.with Huawei

Yes, it works the other way - Mate 8 charger can quickly charge Nexus 6, but neither Aukey QC2.0 nor QC3.0 chargers can do the same.

So, any chargers out there to fast charge the Huawei? Car chargers.

very correct, I have tried Aukey, Anker, and Choetech, they all don't support Huawei's mate 8 charging protocol FCP
I will just order another wall charger that is identical to the original and there are many on Aliexpress
I use my huawei's wall charger to charge the mate and my nexus 6 as well even though the N6 does not recognize the charger as fast unless I switch off the mobile then it start delivering 9v 1.35a to the N6 !!

Here's eBay search for Huawei car charger FCP

Qi charger that is not Samsung brand

So i opted for the 360 camera... I like gadgets I can fiddle with. AND I already have a good Qi charger made in China by some company. Its a dual coil from when i had my Note 3... I used it for one of my LG G4s.
Anyone know a good brand to get for a second charger? Something not in the $40+ range?

choetech
im currently reviewing/testing this and will post up my results soon:
https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Cha...453&sr=8-7&keywords=choetech+wireless+charger

The Choetech mentioned above works great!! I was worried about the fan being loud, but you can't even hear it at all. I held it up to my ear to make sure it even worked. Yep, it was spinning. Love this thing!! It looks much bigger on Amazon. Looks good even with the phone off of it.

I have two of these from Youshare. They do fast charge properly but don't come with a wall adapter. For $15 You need to use your own.
My s7, s7 edge, and note 8 all fast charge just fine. I do have to use the note in landscape though. Works out great. All my wall adapters are fast charging and I don't have to worry about buying more usb c cables lol

I bought this one for my Note 5: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H76NIAS/
I also used it with the S8+ while waiting for the Note 8 to be released. I've been using it with my Note 8 Since Wednesday. I've not had any issues with it and like the "standing up" design better than lying flat.

Thank you all for replying? All though I like the stand up chargers they make me nervous. My Nokia will not charge the Note8 and it is a stand up charger, reason for finding a new one. I will look at getting one of the ones linked. BUT i would like another lay down charger.

get the sammy convertible one...
you can find the sammy convertible charger for around 30 bucks ish on amazon (at least in the US--not sure where you are in the world).
you gotta pay to play, and if you have a 1000 dollar device, don't skimp on accessories.
get the sammy or the choetech.

Fast charge only works with wall charger

Neither my portable charger or my car charger will fast charge. Both used to fast charge back before with my S7.
Is there something different about the note 8 that prevents it from quick charging? Although if you look at the time remaining till fully charged it isn't much below the plugged in time.

Nothing different on Note 8, should work fine. Have you tried another cable? Cheap cables are usually the main culprit & the stock Samsung cables IMO are not quality cables.
Also it's not uncommon for aftermarket chargers to have the QC circuitry fail. I've have 2 Tronsmart chargers fail, one a car charger, the other AC. Still charges but not fast charge. I usually trust & have good experience with Anker stuff but I have had an Anker power bank fail for fast charge. But on that power bank it was a defect, it failed right away as where the Tronsmart charger I had failed after 6 months or so. Most of my cables are Anker & I haven't had any issues with any of the Anker cables I've had since fast harging came out.

I use Amazon cables. The one in my house will fast charge with the wall charger but not with the portable charger.

Here is the difference in charge time left between the two charges using the same cable.

Try charging to 20-30% then try the car charger again & see if switches to fast charge then.

I thought that fast charging was made by the phone comunicating with the charger an asking it to switch from 2A at 5v to 1.67 A at 9 volts, fast charging being a two part process, the device able to accept it, and a charger able to switch amperage and voltage, in samsung devices normal charge is made at 10W, (2A x 5V) and fast charge at 15W (1.67A x 9V), but, again, the charger must be able to switch this parameters
