Between all the lower price knock offs ( $10 Fakes) available on the Internet which reportedly don't provide the full 2.0 mAh of the original AC charger, and the high price of the genuine one at $40................... it might be best to look for brand name 3rd party manufacturers.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a good AC charger that can offer 2mAh?
I found one by MOMAX.. They are a recognized brand, thus have a reputation and brand equity to protect, so should provide a better product than fake named knock-offs.
Has anyone tried this one, or MOMAX products in general?
XC Series USB Travel Charger
Or has one that has been tested to provide the same power as the original charger?

I actually have this one as well for the car. Puts out 2.1a so it charges the phone while GPS, Bluetooth is connected, and music streaming. Anything less than 2.1a and it wont be able to keep up the charge.
Related
So this looks promising. Anyone used this for their phone? The only thing that worries me is the 2.1a output. Will the 3D throttle it down to the 1.5a (or 1.0a, I don't remember what the max is) or will I fry my phone/battery?

I'm thinking about coupling this with a car dock.

I use my HP Touchpad 2A charger to charge my Evo 3D and according to batter monitor widget my charge rate max out at 1100ma, usually in the 900s
there's also a VERY VERY similar charger by Griffin, Powerjolt Dual Micro that's been out forever, that one output 1A per port only, beware that majority of the Ebay one are counterfeit but it work just fine, Frankly i have a legit griffin (from best buy) and a fake ebay one, and I seem to think the ebay one give me a better charge!
Seems like an overpriced car phone charger.
I couldn't find it on their sites but what is the point of the app?

Sosche makes a good product and I like the LED on it. It's there but not overbearing and doesn't seem to be blinding for night driving like the yellow ring on my Sprint charger (before it burned out).

No idea on the app but I like the charger because of how discreet it is. Plus I need one with 2 ports and a 2 port one from Sprint is around 35 bucks last I checked, and they're chunky.

Buy two in case you think one will fail lol. Also it outputs the same amount of current.
Couldn't find where anyone posted this, especially since search is broken right now.
I have been searching for a good car charger, and have tested several from Monoprice, which ALL eventually quit charging. Finally found this car charger that works perfectly. It is the only charger (that I have used) that can charge my phone faster than the Waze app can drain it. Excellent quality quick charger for $5. I believe it is rated at 950mA. The others were rated at 1A, but evidently that wasn't really the case.
In case the link doesn't work, it is the Motorola Vehicle Power Adapter micro-USB Rapid Rate Charger for $5.06 with free shipping at Amazon.

FYI - The charging cable is attached, so it is not a removable micro USB cable. Surely you can tell that from the picture. The clear plastic Motorola emblem glows blue when plugged in, which I thought looked cool (or, "looked chill" for you kiddos ).

I have one works great.
That is a very widely used car charger and pretty well loved. Personally I use a http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10826&cs_id=1082603&p_id=8858&seq=1&format=2 with a USB cable. Have never had any issues with it dying or failing. It also barely sticks out of my cigarette lighter. Any all in one plug I've ever used has always had a lot of bulk.
I use the Zagg Sparq. In the car and work and such. Little pricey but it's got a lifetime warranty.

This is the charger I use also. It works great. What I found is that this charger charges at about the same rate as the supplied HTC AC charger. I've found that anything under approx 850mah takes forever to charge.
You can't go wrong with this charger! :thumbup:

A friend recommended this one to me and we love ours!
I ordered the same charger a few weeks ago and it's flawless. I would definitely recommend it.

The monoprice one has the highest output so it'll probably charge the fastest.
I just bought one of these on ebay for $1.50 direct from China (it's the exact same one)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-2-1am...Accessories&hash=item3cc74de761#ht_2395wt_914
It's a 1amp output which is still higher than the moto one.
Right on. Thanks for posting. I've never 'needed' a car charger, but I've wished I had one, on occasion. So, at this price ... why not?
Thanks OP, Google Maps was winning while charging via car charger on the way to Key West last week. Quite frustrating. This is the perfect solution at an outstanding price!

Iv'e had a Palm Pre car charger for a few years now, no complaints.
I can't find anywhere to confirm this but i believe it charges at 1 amp.
http://www.amazon.com/Palm-Vehicle-Power-Charger-Pixi/dp/B001QVNI0G?tag=thelinactsho-20
if you want a good charger, you should search not only 1A constantly, for example, i use a RadioShack CLA to Dual USB 2.5A Port (Enercell Brand, SKU: 270-057) and i luv it! i used a lot igo CLA but the but was only 850mAh. Now iGo have new CLA with Dual-USB with 2.1A rated (Called MicroJuice) i tested and is very good.

While we were on our way to key west last week also, we killed 2 count them 2 of the griffin 2 port stubby ones. They worked at first, then died. Heat probably an exascerbating issue in that case as we were in a miata with the top down and the sun on that all black interior for 8 hours. Also, had both my phone with nav and ambling books and bluetooth, and my gf's iphone 4 and her taking pics non stop haha.
Anyways I found at radio shack a stubby iGo 2 port 2.1 amp that worked without a problem the rest of the vacation doing the same heavy load in the same heat for untold hours from key west to ocala on the way back to my parents place at the end. It was more like $30 than $3 though!

I hope you sent it back since Amazon has free returns. Both of the ones I ordered are flawless.
So I've got the UHC 20 charger included in my Z5P. However, this one's imported from Clove UK (I'm from Canada) so I think it's designed specifically for UK use as it's got this three-prong thing (I don't know what it's called.) What should I buy to get it working here in Canada? Is there like an adapter I can put in the charger to make it work. I've attached a picture for reference. Also, is this a quick charger?
There are adapters you could get but honestly, I'd just buy a Qualcomm certified quick charger...they are quite inexpensive now...I think Amazon has some as cheap as $9

This LG travel adapter for the G3 looks exactly like the one I have for my G3, but unless you are willing to open it up you'll have to decide based on the seller rating (stars).
If they don't ship to your country you can buy third party chargers from Anker, I know people who own Anker brand chargers and they're quite reliable in that their chargers can charge the G3 at full speed. I would even say they are the best 3rd party charger brand
This is my first USB C device so I don't have a lot of information if I should be just purchasing random USB C cords on Amazon to charge my OP6T at work. Any suggestions or information on what type of cord I should get would be helpful. I would like to purchase 2-3 cords in different lengths if possible (one for work as mentioned, one for the car, and one for my battery pack).
USB c has been out long enough to trust the reviews of them on Amazon. Just check the ratings and read some of the reviews
I'll put in a high vote for anything Anker.

I have a USB-A--> USB-C cable from Anker. Definitely can't complain.
I have been using the Aukey cables without any issues so far. Get the longer ones for data and the shorter ones if you are only using it for charging.
I've had a couple that worked fine elsewhere but would not dash (yeah I now they lost the right to use that name) charge my OnePlus devices, I'd read the reviews and make sure you're ordering something that's going to leverage your charger. I've got a couple older OnePlus cables in the drawer which I'm assuming will work but I cant prove it until the 6th.
If you want fast charge you have to use the originals. If you want spares you can get some in AliExpress for a reasonable-ish price.
If you want cables to use with batteries or don't care about fast charge, I find that TOPK cables are pretty good, cheap too. They usually come in several colours, have cord and are pretty flexible.
An engineer at Google, Benson Leung, took it upon himself to test many cables for standards compliance. I cannot get his site to load, but I found this article that lists some of his approved cables. http://buyandroidchargers.com/list-of-benson-leungs-usb-c-google-engineer-usb-c/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S8GU544/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_dkTJBbN069J3Z
Based on the recommendation here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/accessories/ordinary-usb-cables-support-dash-t3838411
I wanted a longer cable to plug into my computer, as well as a couple of additional cables to charge at work and in my car. I am also purchasing the OPPO charger for work as well, since it can be had cheaper than the OnePlus wall wart.
These are replacing worn out and slower type C cables.
I thought if you want fast charge you have to use the charger. The cable can be any quality cable

AFAIK USB type A side has additional pins for DASH/Fast Charge. That's why it won't work on any other cables.

I was going to say, I haven't had a look see for a while but this morning I hit Amazon and there are a number of cables that work with dash charge according to the reviews. Some that don't, also according to the reviews. My big takeaway was half the price of the official goods so I went ahead and ordered the same one the fellow above me linked because it's the first one I ran into that was 6 ft instead of a meter. Glad to here someone got there first and it worked: Amazon reviews are good but I have more faith in a thumbs up from a fellow phone person.
Anker all the way.

Can you link a fast charge cord or adapters from AliExpress? I swear I never know what's fake on that website. I've ordered a few things from them before but only on smaller purchases.
I ordered one from Amazon .. it comes from shenzen China. Where most electronics are made in China..
It's literally a official OP cable but packaged in a generic box.
I tested and it works for dash charge..
It's exactly the same except it says dash on the tip .
And it was under $7
I'll post a link of anyone shows interest
