Car charger rating? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories

I'm thinking of buying a car charger plug with a usb connection to use with the usb cabel that comes with the diamond.
What output rating should that car charger have?
The one I'm thinking of buying has a output of 5V and 1000mA. I've seen others with 500mA but not sure which one to get?
Does anybody have any idea?
Thanks /Sonny

All up to 2A should work! The charging process with 500mA could be slower. But they will all work!
Just calculate, the original battery has 3.7V with 900mA, that makes 3.33Wh.
So the charging process is never at full capacity for optimal charging of the battery.
With an output of 5V and 500mA the charging should last about an hour or 1 1/2 hours. So I think 1000mA should be more than enough.
CouldnĀ“t find any hint on the original output current of the HTC charger, sorry.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I will go for the 1000mA then, same price anyway
Thanks!!

Just found this in the manual
AC Adapter Voltage range/frequency: 100 - 240V AC, 50/60 Hz
DC output: 5V and 1A

Does the Car Charger for TOUCH CRUISE DUAL fit in the Diamond as wel?
Same connector?

AC vox s710\s711

Hi, i have this smartphone, but i don't have a AC,
I charger only on USB Port, but any other ac usb type didn't work? i was thinking in AC charger Motorola V3 dc output 5v - 850mah
ac charger s710 = 5v 1A ?
works?
[]s
yes, the charger is 5 Volt - 1 Amper
Yes any generic usb charger with those specs should work fine 5V 1A
As far as I know, there are no USB chargers that go over 5V @ 1aH.
Anything that has a miniUSB end, you can plug in. One with lower amperage will just charge slower.
well maybe because USB specs from what I know deliver a max 500mA.
Btw I have a charger that delivers 5 V 2A but it has a standard jack...but with a solder you can put on it a mini USB plug so...
But more current you deliver on charge the more the battery drops his effeciency in time.
And ha4waii is right less current means slower charges.
But remeber the values of the current are peak values expressed in Amperes and not amperes per hour (it's not a battery it's a charger)
the current is a peak so it is not Ah it's a charger not a battery LoL
tanks for the help....
well, the ac from motorola v3, have mini-usb jack, but the specs.... dc Output -> 5V... 0,15A
i need a ac, anyone can send a acpower and battery to brazil???
in brazil ac power costs.... about Us $50 ...
Even a generic one????
it used to cost about 5-15 $

[Q] Scoshe reVIVEII

Anyone using this charger with their Inspire4G?
I've tried using this charger with my phone, with several different cables, including the OEM cable. I can only ever get the phone to charge at the USB rate, not the AC charge rate.
Is this normal or is my charger defective?
http://scosche.com/consumer-tech/product/1921
I would assume thats because the 2.1A is ment for Ipad/Iphone/Ipod devices as they require a larger amp charge.
The 1.0A is ment for all other USB devices.
States that in the description.
Charge your iPad and an additional USB powered device at once
Use your existing USB cables to charge any additional USB powered devices
2.1 Amp USB port for charging iPad
1 Amp USB port for charging additional devices
Were are you getting AC Charge rate / USB Charge rate ?
On both ports, I'm only getting the USB charge rate.

What do you meen USB Charge Rate..
I am going to guess ..
AC Charge Rate = Wall Charger
USB Charge Rate = Computer USB 2.0/3.0
Does car charger port provide enough amps to give full value?

when you go into Settings -> about phone -> Battery
It will show you the charging status. USB Charging typically is no more than 500ma. AC charging should be 1a.
I have an old AT&T brand car charger that charges the phone in "AC" mode.
This is were I am still getting confused.
What ROM are you running, Stock / MIUI / CM7 / or a Rom based off of stock ?
Is it 2.3.3 or 2.2.1 or 2.3.4 ?
I don't have those reading under battery status.
Anyways, I will go ahead and make the assumption that your car charger is busted and need to get it replaced.
This is were I don't get were you are stating AC Charging.
Alternating Current = AC Direct Current = DC
You cannot charge a battery " DC " with an Alternating Current " AC " period. Thats why all battery chargers reguardless of type convert AC power to DC.
Then only thing I can think of is maybe your phone can detect what type of charger it is connected to, displaying it as an AC Wall Charger or a DC Car/USB Charger.
Wall Chargers will generaly charge quicker then a computer USB Charger. Car charger typicaly charge quicker then most wall chargers.
Most Car chargers are very poor at controlling the amperage being supplied. They may stay at the right voltage but rest assured, you hit a 5v 2amp battery with a 5v 10amp charge and your going to fry it. This is the reason I dislike car chargers.
I can only see one of two problems with your Car Charger ;
1: the Car charger is bad
2: your 12 Power source port is not supplying the correct amperage that your car charger requires. IE:
I have the HTC Car dock for my inspire. It has an imput requirement of 12V 5 Amps to operate efficiently. The Power supply I have it plugged into is the 12V 20A Accesory Port in the front of my truck. It works just fine.
If your device requires say 12v 5 Amps to operate efficiently yet your car is only supplying 12v 1 Amp due to bad wiring, old fuses or bad connections your car charger will not charge at idicated levels.
The ROM is simply displaying "USB" if it is drawing 500ma charge, or "AC" if it's drawing 1000ma charge.
I'm running the 2.2.1, the LeeDroid_HD_V.2.0.0 ROM

Ok, so your saying that when you have the Car Charger plugged up and your device connected, your only getting a 500ma charge. When you use your old ATT Car Charger it shows 1000ma.
500ma = .5 Amps
1000ma = 1.0 Amps
If your not getting over 500ma out of your car charger then either 1 of two things.
Car Charger is busted, get it replaced.
Car is not putting out correct Amp - Voltage for the car charge to operate correctly.
Your old car charger could have different requirements and that is the reason it works, your new one could use a deifferent set and may not work.
Regardless, its not working in your car, try it in a friends and see if it works, if not then the charger is broke, if it does, then your car is broke.
Try usiing current widget while charging.. and see the readings
Inspired from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
i don't know what you are talking about here. The 2.1 Amp option is NOT the AC charging rate. It is pretty clear if you look at the stock HTC charger that comes with the phone, it says it outputs "1.5 V at 1A".
And anyways...if you look at the product description on the link you posted, it CLEARLY states the 2.1A is for charging an iPad.

I've used both ports on the reVIVE II, both the 2.1a and the 1a. Both only report the phone charging at 500ma

sorry...i thought you were referring to the AC rate as the 2.1A port, and the USB rate as the 1A port.

Optimus 3D car charger from Ebay

Hi All,
I bought a car charger from ebay for my phone and just had a quick question.
The output voltage on my indoor Optimus charger is 4.8v at 1amp
the car charger is 5 - 5.5 volts and 1 amp.
Do you think it's safe to use, being slightly higher in voltage?
Thanks!
Not an electrical expert here but ...
Considering USB is 5V i would say there should be no problem in anyway at all.
It would just be as bad as plugging it into your PC.
Most car chargers make use of the fact that most phones will charge @ USB power levels.
no problem

[Q] Nexus 4 EUR Wall & Car Charger

Hello!
I want to buy the fastest and reliable charger to wall and car (separately of curse) and I don't care if the cable comes pre-attached or it is only a USB adapter. It need to output 5v 1.2A for maximum performance right? in the place i'm living i got an LG charger that output only 5v 0.7a. so where can i buy a 5v 1.2a wall charger? and a 5v 1.2a car charger? worldwide shipping please.
any other suggestions?
thanks

In Xiaomi mi 4 quick charge2.0 not enabled

Seems Qualcomm which charge 2.0 not working with Mi 4 original cable anyone suggest how enable fast charging on Xiaomi mi 4.
If I'm not mistaken, you need a charger with higher outputs then the standard wall charger shipped with most phones. Just a guess though seeing as my Xiaomi Mi 4 charger is a five volt charger.

My charger say Output 5v=2A/9v=1.2A/12v=1A i dont know if that whats needed but it charges very quickly.

5v is the voltage standard. What you want is AMPS. ALWAYS select 5 volts.
Computers (USB 2.0) can output maximum 0.5A (500ma) at 5 volts, while USB 3.0 can output 900ma or 0.9A.
Most MicroUSB chargers output anything from 1A to 3A+, with 1A and 2.1A being the most common.
So while a 1A will charge your phone a X percent per minute, a two amp charger will charge it at almost double the rate (not exactly, but close enough).
I do however (and I stand corrected), recommend not to go too high an amperage, while your phone my not get damaged, slow and steady charging is better for the battery than high current, quick charging.
Some phone, like my Galaxy S5, requires a 2A charger, but other phones may not like it.
I think it's always enable ...
