Opening the box I was pleased with it's construction and small size.
Unfortunately, it does not charge my Galaxy Nexus at the higher (1A) rate of a 'AC' charger. It does charge, but only at the 0.5A USB charge rate. Which is insufficient to keep the battery charged while using the phone as a GPS. (Yes, this phone has a very power-hungry screen)
It does charge my iPad2, which means it's delivering at least 2A to the device.
My suspicion is that there's a issue with how the charger and the phone are reporting/seeing each other. The charger only passes out as much power is requested, and the phone is not requesting the higher rate, probably because it doesn't think it's available.
I would prefer that the charger have a light on it to indicate that it has power instead of relying on a connected device to determine if the charger/car connection is good.Recommended! Great product just as announced. It arrived on time and in great conditions also. If you are looking for a nice traveller recharger, this is the one.Great design and good quality! It also fits perfectly. What's more, I can use the 2 USB ports to charge my iphone and ipad at the same time! I really recommend this product :)Works good with an Ipad-mini, which was why I bought it. However, it fit so loosely that I had to pad it with a piece of Velco "loops" to get it to stay in the socket. The socked worked fine with my older 1 Amp adapter what was too low of a power for an Ipad.
