Any suggestions? I would like one that has turbo charge like the wall charger if possible. Thanks

I got the one Verizon sells (red connector with flash light). I love it, charges just as fast as the wall Turbo charger. I picked it because I get 25% off accessories. The tech you are looking for is QuickCharge 2.0

I had that one before but the light would make it hard to plug in when I had my UAG charger. Thanks for the suggestion
Ah.. The case got in the way. I'm using it with my spigen's and it's playing nice with those.
I have this one. Works well. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P9UILUM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Well a couple of days ago I was on my way home from work and I was at around 30% on my Nexus. Out of curiosity I plugged the phone into a 2A Anker charger (which worked really well with my M8... 1%/min) and it said it would be fully charged in about 2 hours. I then plugged the phone into the PowerMod Quick Charge charger and it said it would be fully charged in about 50 something minutes. So I would say pretty well! My phone was fully charged by the time I got home (my commute is about an hour 15 minutes).

I have the Incipio QC 2.0 car charger, it works as intended for QC 2.0. I had the PowerMod one, but it was a little loose in my car outlet so it would lose power sometimes if you bumped it accidentally. There's another OP about car chargers which I meant to post pictures of my charger in. The nice part about the Incipio is it has a USB port so you can use your own cable. I tried the VZW which was nice, but I don't like chargers where I can't replace the cable if/when it wears out. The VZW one is also 35$ compared to $21 for the Incipio on Amazon with Prime shipping (thats what I paid for it) and you get a nice coiled cable for a good deal on there and still have money left over compared to the VZW one.
I originally had the Incipio car charger, but I had to return it because it didn't work in my car's charging port, for some reason (it worked in another car, so not sure). Also, The Incipio one was too large, as I'm used to slim car chargers that barely stick out. And while it's not a big deal, the Incipio one didn't come with a microUSB cable.
After a bit of searching, I found the Ventev Dashport Q1200. It's a little hard to find right now, but here's a listing on Amazon. From what I could see, this one was the only QC 2.0 compatible car charger that was also slim. It also came with a flat ribbon-style microUSB cable.

All official legit Quick Charge 2.0 chargers do 12/9/5volts. As long as it's listed on Qualcomm's website, it offers the best charging.

I rarely use included cables. I have extended cables that i route around the dash and a-pillar for a cleaner look. and the cost is comparable to other QuickCharge 2.0 car chargers.

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.

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.

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!

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'm an idiot, I left my charger at work. Is there another compatible charger I can buy or do I have to drop $35 for the turbocharger from Motorola ( I know any mini USB charger will work but I don't wanna wait 5 hours.)
Yeah there's a good amount now, just look for Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0 compatibility. I have the Tenergy one that was cheap and works great.

that's lame of people to take your charger. Where do you work if you don't mind me asking? Or the type of work you do?
Someone recently took my charger come to think of it. 4 port wall plug from monoprice. It's a great work horse.

I'm a firm believer in Anker products. I now buy only Anker chargers and cables. They have Smart IQ, which automatically adjusts amperage based on what the device can accept, so you will always get the max charge. They always get close to 5 stars on Amazon. Actually, they are the highest rated chargers you can get.

If you want to use quick charger that's fine with me. My anker charger is pretty quick as is. I've heard that quick charging may eventually hurt battery life in the long run, so I choose not to use it. I don't need quick charge because I don't even use my phone a whole lot to begin with and rarely go below 60%. Plus, I have a charger handy wherever I am. (car/work/home/portable charger)
I have the Qualcomm one off of Amazon and I honestly believe that it charges quicker.
Can anyone recommend some good USB C charging / sync cables please.
Could do with a multipack with some different lengths for home, car and desk.
Many thanks.
Anker make great cables, I would definitely recommend them, they're usually braided and sturdy.

It would be nice if they did, but it isn't a deal breaker if they don't
Even if they are USB 2.0, I don't think there are many alternatives that can beat AmazonBasics' quality/price. They are currently at 6.29€/90cm and 9.29€/270cm in Germany.
Although, looking carefully, seems that Anker has the same prices, at least for the black version..
I picked up a couple of Anker and Orzly cables, haven't gone wrong with them yet.
Can recommend Aukey cables. Bundles available at amazon. Dash charge not tested yet.
I try this one and it doesn't work with dash charger

Just check AliExpress . You can buy official dash charger cables at a much lower price. 100cm and 150cm. The actual charger is a different story though.

How authentic/genuine are the dash chargers and cables from ali express? they look legit but I dont want to risk my device....prices are fantastic for the cables though
Not USB cable related - however I bought a Wireless charger and receiver for my OP3 (which I will be using on my OP5) Works an absolute treat! Not as fast as the DASH charge, however always nice just to plonk your phone on the wireless charger, and let it do it's job.

+1 for Anker.
Bought a good few and they all look pretty good.
Keep in mind that, most likely, DASH charge won't work with any cable other than the original ones.
Or, at least, that failed for me with all the ones I tried so far.
if you want dash charging, you'll need to buy the 'official' cables from OnePlus unfortunately, though you can get them from other sellers
There are a lot of decent priced supposedly dash capable cables on Amazon with prime shipping right now. I'd check those out and try first. Amazon has great customer service if by chance they don't work.
Anker has the best cables after the original but I would stick with the original because red is sweet
I personally recommend BlitzWolf's cables. I bought several of them at banggood.com 3 months ago and they are truly excellent! I bought the 2m cable, but they have other lengths as well. They all work flawlessly.
No DASH charge of course, but I do not care.
I got a pack of five from a company called rophie on amazon. All different lengths too, very useful actually!
Blitz wolf makes nice cables

To confirm me that it really works to load in Dash mode with this charger. That would make it easy to ask for a refund in case it doesn't work.
Unfortunately, I've just missed another promo which made it 11USD.
Thanks for sharing, if it works then its worth it seeing as its a lot cheaper!

The car charger does get hot, indeed. But that's the whole idea of DASH charging -- keep the heat away from the phone battery where it can only slowly dissipate. The car charger is quite sturdy and made (almost) entirely fro metal, so it'll cool down quickly after charging.
I am not sure if it's an issue as I could not watch it too closely while driving but the DASH mode charging seems to have ended around 75% and afterwards it went on with normal mode. Not sure if that's how it is supposed to be as I've never watched my wall charger that closely.

Nice sounds good, I might get one in the future, but on the other hand I also have some referral points over at OnePlus.
They now redirect to another one that should suit better for the one plus 5. The linked one is only for one plus 3/3T. I think I will buy it later and test it.
I just like how I am able to top up my battery while navigating with GPS on. Tried or during a weekend getaway and worked nicely.
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/

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 read on OnePlus site that if you want fast charge you have to use their supplied cable or equal too.
I have a few of these aftermarket ones from amazon, work fine with dash charging.

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

Post it bro
I asked my friend in Asia to buy me some Oppo chargers and OP 1.5m dash cable. It costs around $3 for the Oppo charger and $4 for the cable. Also bought the dash car charger for under $10.
