So, I know the Note 2 uses a 2 amp charger. Are there any good car chargers that can output in 2 amps? I currently am using a Motorola one, and I think it's just 1 amp. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
I found a 2A car charger on the shelf at Wal-Mart for $8. Works fine for me.
If you have a 5 Below near you, they have a 2.1 amp dual for 5 bucks

didn't want to risk blowing up my phone or car with a $5 fake from ebay
The charger I bought for my Captivate charges it, I'll have to look at it to see what amperage it is.
I have this charger from my previous iPhone and it works like a charm! It is 2.1amp but I don't think it hurts the phone since it has smart technology to direct the power as needed!

The motorola one you have is still a beast when it comes to recharging. I have a few of them, one in each car and an additional one for business trips. While running gps, streaming music, and the screen on, my battery still recharges. I have other 2.1 mAh chargers, but always come back to the motorola one. Especially since they are around $5 on amazon.

Hope it wasn't the one I found. It SAYS 2A on the box but it has 2 USB ports and thus feeds 1A PER PORT.
The Samsung OEM car charger for either the tablets or the Notes is a 2A unit.

That's the exact one I use as well. To give you an example, the Note 2 just can't be charged via standard USB port. 450mAh is not enough. I will see if I can do some testing to show you the differences visually this week.
Driving 45 min to pick up the last 64gb microSD card for sale in TN at radio shack (for $39) I had bluetooth on, sharing my data connection with my wifes tablet via foxfi, and using gps, the motorola still can charge the battery while all that was running. At my office, we would call that FM, because I can't really explain how it works just as good as my $15 2.1mAh charger.
What app are you guys using to measure charging rate?

I use a 3A charger in my car, but it's all wired in. Got myself one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DC-DC-Con...plies_ET&var=560164310799&hash=item3ccbaa5de8 , a 3 way switch, 2 'add-a-fuse' things and wired it all up behind the dashboard with just my Micro USB cable poking out in the drivers side of the dashboard, which plugged into my old car cradle when I had the HTC Sensation. The switch is mounted in one of the blanking plates down by my right knee (right hand drive) and lets me choose between off, on and on-with-ignition for the charger. At the moment I have to plug it into the bottom of the Note 2 myself but I'm planning next to de the wireless charging mod, and integrate the charger into the cradle I have, with NFC also in there to activate car mode when I put the phone in the cradle for (IMO) the perfect solution with no wires trailed all over the car, and my lighter socket free for other things
It was all pretty cheap as well, and an easy mod to do - even though the cradle is on the opposite side of the car to the fuse box and I had to pull out the whole radio and centre console to route the wires... all hidden away now though.
I'll be doing the same on my next car as well.
I was looking at *low profile* dual USB ported chargers but it appears from my lack of knowledge that these are all wired for iPad charging and without a specific charging cable they will only supply max 1A to the Note 2. Can someone with more technical knowledge of the vagaries of USB power please clarify in simple terms?
I would have thought the iPad would take a higher current than 1A

Ive came across this cool car charger and I wanted to share it with my fellow streakers. Ive been using this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d.html/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/180-9586428-1608559?redirect=true&ref_=oss_product&a=B003JP7GN2 all in one car charger and I must say I love this thing. It's small, convenient, and charges just about everything. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do. you'll thank me for this, thats a promise.
No ones willing to give this a try? Lol
It is nice, could you post the technical information such as input & output.
comon, its not a car charger !!!! its just an adapter. a car charger would consist of some thing you plug into the car and the other end would plug into the phone. let me know when you find a REAL car charger !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes it is, it's a car charger, mains charger, 9v battery powered charger but I doubt it outputs more than 500ma per usb port, the listing has no details on that.
I fail to understand how that plugs into my phone to charge it, WITHOUT using the cable that my phone came with ???????????
A REAL car charger for just about any other phone does not require the use of a data cable. Like i said thats just an adapter just like the one i already have.

I tried something similar to that, and it didn't work. It was a Griffin charger rated at 2.1 amps for the iPad. Not sure if that one is different since it isn't as specific as the one I picked up. I returned it immediately.
Yeah they have the one for the iPad too, its rated at 2.1 amps. Its like $28.88, this one is $12.88. Im sure if it didnt work, this one wont either. Thanks for the quick reply. I really need a car charger, Bestbuy didnt have any either when I got my Streak last Saturday. I updated it to 2.2 last night and its a totally different phone. I love it!

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?

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.

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.

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
I would really like some help, because I am having problems finding what I need, if it even exists. I have a couple 3100 mAH batteries for my Note2. The set came with a charger, but the output says 350mA. It is taking about 20 hours to charge the spare. Is there a spare battery charger out there that will charge at the same rate as the actual charger that came with the device? One that would charge my spares in about 3 hours. Thanks in advance.

None that I know of. Which charger did you purchase?
I purchased the Samsung extra battery charger and it takes about 6 hours to charge a Samsung 3100mah battery from 10%. I have 3 official batteries total, so the recharge rate is fine. I carry my phone and a extra battery, but tbh, I haven't actually needed the spare yet. Perhaps when classes are back in session.

I bought the Anker two pack that included the charger. The batteries are really great. As good as the oem, that I can tell. But the charger is so slow. I want to find one that charges with closer to 2A, instead of the 350mA that I received with the batteries.

After years of dealing with cheap Chinese fake batteries that last 1/2 as long as advertised I went ahead and sprung for the Samsung branded battery and charger. With my 20% discount wasn't that painful but the battery is reliable and charges very quickly.

No it won't work, the current is controlled within the battery holder, your only option if you want the same speed is, get another phone.:victory:

usb connector is input 2A, but the out is 450mAh to the battery.
No it says that if you put in 5v at 2 amp you get 4.2v at 1.7 amp output, and if you put in 5v at 500ma you get 4.2v at 450ma output. Mine charges from dead in about 2h15min using the 2 amp wall usb that came with the phone. Great charger and I use it from a anker 10, 000ma battery pack on the go.

I just got this charger and it looks like it will get the job done. It won't be 3 hrs, but 4 to 6 hrs it will be fully charged. It is supposed to provide 1a charging and it seems about right or at least much better than my previous chargers. I plan to buy another so I can charge 2 batteries at once. I go through 2, sometimes 3 battery a day.
I have the anker battery kit charger and it is slow as yours. Also bought a cheap eBay dock/spare battery charger. It was a little faster but still in the 10 hrs range.

The only reason I bought it is because I had a 50% off coupon and it was the same price as just the battery alone. I'm okay with the slow charger for the spare battery as long as I can charge the one in the phone quickly.
I believe that any 2A adapter designed for Note 2, Note 10.1 or galaxy tab can work well with the official desktop dock & charger. Though not exactly the same speed as using the phone directly, it seems to be practically good enough to me -- 4.35V 1.7A

the reason i bought this is i didnt want to have my phone ever tied down. i can leave the house or work any time i want not having to pull off from an early charge.
and some more food for thought i think with the .7amp charger mine probably charges in 4 or 5 hrs nothing to bad. if you kill your phone from 100% down to dead in less than that time thats pretty ridiculous.
i love the samsung charger, you cant beat a good deep charge on your battery every time it charges.

Do you guys know if there is any way to charge our tablet wirelessly? Is Qi charger the only way? And it's not supported for the 1st gen, am I correct?
I really hate wires...
You have to mod to add a Qi wireless charging coil or a palm touchstone coil to charge wirelessly.
Or you can buy a pogo dock and use it to charge, it's close enough to wireless.

There's no such thing as wireless charging, you still need the wires (going to the desktop part of the charger) and when you use that method you don't have any choice where you put the device when it's on charge.
If you just plug a cable into the device you can plonk it down anywhere the cable will reach.

The short answer is of course no. Personally, I would try to opts away from attempting any mods like this; wireless charging is still; in it's infancy and is "a generation newer" than this Nexus 7 version.
WTF!!

I can't decide if you are just trolling or if you really are clueless.
In case you're serious, learn some basic physics before you shout your mouth off.
Right now - today - the only way to 'wirelessly' charge a device is to have an induction coil in it and put it right next to another induction coil which is connected BY WIRE to the mains. So while it's handy to be able to do that you can't just set it down anywhere and expect it to charge.
If it were possible to set up charging from a telephone mast miles away you would be dead from cancer (from the radiation) or cooked long before the device was charged up.
Take your own advice.
I'm not your brother.
Dude.

Do you guys know if there is any way to charge our tablet wirelessly? Is Qi charger the only way? And it's not supported for the 1st gen, am I correct?
I really hate wires...

Hi, simple math problem here. The cost of a nexus 7 1st gen (around USD 130.00 used on ebay), plus getting a coil from another device (USD 25.00 if you dont have it) maybe a broken palm pre or a touchpad on ebay, also a touchstone charger (maybe USD 25.00 on ebay) (you could also get a QI coil from another device, but then you will need the QI charger, and thats more money), That's USD 180.00, plus the shipping and the trouble of doing the mod and maybe breaking the damn thing. Let's say USD 200.00, the new nexus is USD 229.00 (IS IT WORTH IT).

You are wrong. You can wireless charge your phone (if it's capable of doing it) from the QI charger to the phone itself.
We know the QI charger must be connected in order to give power, but YES you can wireless charge your phone. I personally like to plug the damn thing, but is nice to just place your phone on the QI and let it charge by doing nothing else.

You've missed my point, sure there's no wire connecting the phone and the charger but you still have to put the phone physically 'on' the charger plate. I have a HP Touchpad and Touchstone and it's great to be able to just sit it down on the TS to charge but if I'm sitting on the sofa using it and it's low battery I have to stop using it and put it back on the TS charge it up, or plug a cable into it. In the real world you can call it wireless if you like but it's still got to be connected.

I did not missed your point, you were just to hard with him!!! JAJAJAJA, it's called wireless since there's no cable from the cradle to the phone, and of course it has to be connected to something, take care!!!.
Hard? no I prefer to think honest

Hmm. Thanks a lot guys for replies, and sorry for my late reply. I'll definitely consider the new nexus 7. I don't like modding hardware.

If the case isn't too thick it probably would. My HP tablet charges on it's dock through a tpu case and even a couple of layers of leatherette case.
Anyone have a good recommendation for a car charger for the Nexus 6? I drive a lot, and need to be able to give it a quick charge.
I'm open to cheap and expensive options, I just need a good quick charger.
Well, I used the Nexus wireless charger for my N5 in my car. (Some cars support USB natively. For those that don't, any 2A Auto-to-USB -- or even better, Auto with corded microUSB -- adapter will work.) The magnets keep the N5 locked in place, so it doesn't bounce off, and there were no cables to fiddle with when placing the phone on (or taking it off) the charger. True, you had to get a bit creative if you wanted it mounted, but that usually wasn't too difficult. Personally, the N5 with charger fit perfectly in my center console, so mounting issues weren't a concern.
We'll have to see whether or not the N6 will support the magnetic mount for wireless chargers at all, and if it does, how well does it stay in place? If it works as well as the N5, then the Nexus wireless charger would be my top recommendation for a car charger.
As is posted in another thread, there are Quick Charge 2.0 certified accessories available, or will be soon.
Here is the link:

Very interested in this. Ironically I could care less about quick charge at home... I always plug my phone in when I'm driving, and I work out of town so it's a lot. I wonder if using quick charge daily for am hour or so each way would hurt the phone... my phone already gets pretty hot driving with streaming music and navigation/waze.

From what I hear it could mess with the battery. I only charge to full and only when I really need power I will charge it for a short time.

Not for $30 With this battery, I can likely work all day and make it to the gym afterwards where I listen to music while working out and watch play movies/netflix while I finish up with cardio. My normal car charger will likely be fine for this.

That's actually the cheapest of the quick chargers I've found so far but yeah $30 is pushing it. I have found myself with a low charge on the OPO before where a quick charger would have been helpful. Instead I've had to use a NewTrent battery pack with it and the phone stuck in my man purse.
I use the Scosche USBC242M it's a dual port charger. Each port is 12 watts(2.4A). Its pretty fast, I believe the certified quick charge 2.0 ones are 15 watt ports.

The Ventex choice may be worth keeping an eye on to see if pricing drops (currently out of stock at $19.95 + ship).

Looks like it's a more flush fitment too, whereas the rest are much taller.
I've used some Pure-Gear cables before. They were not manufactured well at all. They were also mislabeled as to what type.
Remember everybody, if you use a 2A car charger, which now seem to be widely available, you also must use the proper cable or you won't get the full current.
This Mediabridge is my favorite charging cable:

I use a TechMatte one for all my devices. Pretty cool charger, does what it's supposed to in a timely manner.

Thanks everyone!!
Just got the incipio car charger. Used the promo code for some bucks off. Hope it works well.

For some reason when I tried to get the Incipio my order didn't go thru. I ended up getting the Powermod one for the same price after the Incipio coupon on Amazon.

Update - Sorry didnt notice the poster right before me posted the link from Amazon for same charger lol, this is just from the manufacturer site that has it for same price I guess.

I can vouch for the incipio car charger, acts very similarly to the turbo charger and definitely charges faster than any car charger I've personally used. Pricey, but the tradeoff is worth it
...
....
I ordered the neobits charger that was linked earlier. I like the idea of the new turbo style charger in the car. Price is deceptive because the cheapest shipping option is $14...

It works and everything but it isn't as flush mount as the design would seem to indicate. It sticks out a little which kind of annoys me. It is more minimal than any other car quick charger I have seen though so I guess it's ok.
