Disadvantages charging your devices using car lighter charger

[miguel20]

Even 2.4A chargers are too slow for modern Android phones. Batteries are too big and drain too quickly.

A 2A charger is enough for my iPhone, but definitely not my Note 5.

Which is why I use this - a Capdase QuickCharge 3.0 car charger that outputs 18W (9V 2A) which is much more than the 12W of an ordinary 5V 2.4A charger, with less heat.



Just 990 pesos for a 3-port car charger that gets your 3000+ mAh phone from 0-90% in about an hour.

12W each for the 2 normal ports, 18W for the QC port - total of 42W.

Not a problem at all for the car, that's a very small load.

I even use the cig lighter port for a portable vacuum cleaner and a portable cooler. No big deal.

Bought it from Capdase in SM Megamall Cyberzone.

Another sulit buy is a quick-charge powerbank (since most powerbanks just offer the standard 2.4A output). Asus ZenPower 10050 mAh for only 1.2k. Capdase also has one, 1.7k - this is what I bought cuz nauna ko makita, but mas sulit yung Asus since same specs, cheaper price.

Thanks bro. Will drop by Cyberzone when we go to the area.

If you don't have time going to the mall you can use Lazada and buy this as an alternative. No annoying LED lights, and has 3 ports perfect if you also have a dashcam.

Been using Tronsmart C3PTA for 5 months already on my cars, phones never heat up even when quick charging. ;)

I know it's unnecessary, but I actually like the LED light. Tells me at a glance it's still working. Just a bit of a nuisance at night.

What phones do you quick charge without getting warm? With the S7e even the oem charger warms it up sometimes.

Iphone 6,7, Ipad, Lenovo A7000

Slight warming is normal but getting hot to the touch never happens, as it did with generic car chargers I have used before.

Yikes!! hilig ko pa naman i double click yung power window (4) buttons just to be sure kung sagad na yung sara ng bintana, but i'm doing this while the car is running. Am i abusing the battery or the alternator? i'm using a plug-in voltmeter and notice that evertime i doubleclick those power window button, the rating drops from 14.0 to 12.9. Lakas pala kumain ng current ang power windows. Thanks Sir Niky for the diagram illustration.

The alternator can take it, naman.

But one way to check the electrical health of an old car (when buying secondhand) is to turn on all the lights and use all four power windows at the same time.

Like that old Motolite (was it Motolite or Oriental?) commercial? :D

Thanks Sir Niky for the tip, ako naman, old school way of testing the battery is headlight on muna before switching the engine, if the headlights blinks upon starting the engine, pahina na daw battery, dunno if that is reliable but ginagawa ko ehehe.
