Powergen 1Amp Combo Car and Travel Wall Charger for desgined for Motorola Droid Razr M Maxx, HTC On

car charger surprisingly charges my droid razr to full charge while running as a mobile hotspot in the car for 5 hour drives.

Works well.

.

Two slim chargers and a cable for under 10 bucks. A nice travel solution. Both not-designed-for-Apple units also charge my iPhone at about 90% of full speed.

At 1-amp, tablet charging is slow. See Alternatives below.

PROs:

Nice price

Fast charging of non-Apple phones

Slim, pocket-able, lightweight (AC: 1 oz; CAR: 1/2 oz)

AC: Doesn't block other outlets (see Note 2)

CAR: Blue status light shows charger is getting power

Finish and appearance are good

OKs:

Branded product. Amazon reviews apply to this exact item.

12 month warranty

1 Amp output. Charges tablets at about half speed.

CAR: Length is 1.2" (sticks out about 3/8" to 1/2" from socket)

CAR: Not a very firm grip in socket (see Note 3).

CONs:

None so far

Disclosure -

The manufacturer gave me this product for review. I believe my review is impartial.

Notes -

Note 1: Apple products use their own rules to decide charging speed. A designed-for-Apple charger may be slow to charge non-Apple devices, and vice versa. Full-speed iPad charging requires a larger 2-Amp charger.

Note 2: Blocking other outlets. Seems like small thing, but it can be a hassle. Unplugging hotel room lamps, alarm clocks, etc. to charge your phone? Just say no (or carry an extension cord).

Note 3: Socket fit: It's a little on the loose side. When trying to remove a USB cable, you sometimes pull the whole charger out of the socket instead. Nice travel charger, but less than perfect for everyday use.
