Android Car Charger that actually Increases Battery
« on: August 20, 2014, 11:09:07 PM »
I have a Galaxy S4 and I have so far went thru about 4 car chargers but none of them are anything compared to my wall charger. When I'm using Google Maps these struggle to keep the battery level, forget about giving more percentage.

Each time I do some research I find another person saying how this one 'really charges fast' and I end up buying it only to find out it's like all the other ones, so if you can't relate to what I'm talking about please don't reply suggesting to buy the one you have since it probably doesn't either charge quickly maybe you don't notice...

I'm looking for someone who actually found a car charger that gives the same juice as a wall charger...or someone who can tell me there is no such thing and the only answer is an inverter.

PS
I spend a decent amount of time searching online and didn't come up with any satisfying answers.

I have the same issue with my iPad, when charging in the car via lighting to USB.

The thing to look for is how many amps of output it has. I've had the issue but never did anything about it.

It may be the fastest one out there, but do you notice that it charges your phone at the same speed as your wall charger does? Thats what I want to know

It does charge it at the same speed as a regular charger, maybe even quicker since its a rapid charger. I use it when I'm using Waze and the battery goes up quite a bit not like other ones that stay the same or loose the charge

I question the amp rating especially after looking at the reviews. I would try this one. I've had good experience with Anker

You guys need to match up the amps of your phone to the charger. If a phone is 2 amps, get a charger that is 2 amps. You also need to make sure that if it is a dual port charger, the power can adjust according to the phones needs.

Have you considered that the car outlet may be faulty. Maybe its just not giving enough power out from the socket.
