There's not much I can say about a charger......a charger is a charger is a charger. The one thing I do like about this charger is the automatic shut-off. When no device is connected or if a connected device is fully charged, the charger shuts off automatically. I think this is a pretty good feature that will allow you to really know that your battery is not being overcharged, which will reduce the life of it.Before purchasing this, I had gone for those bargain, "dime-a-dozen" chargers with the retractable cords that can be found on Amazon and eBay. After having 2 of those "cheap" chargers break on me, I decided to spend a bit more money to get one that would last, and from all outward appearances, it seemed that this one would. The construction of the plug and the cord seems very sturdy and durable. Well, after only 1 month, this one just stopped working. I've tried it in multiple outlets in different vehicles and it just plain doesn't work. Very disappointing from a supposed OEM product.Note: My use of this charger had been light. I never took it out of the socket, and I only ever charged my phone on it for about 45 minutes at a time.Works fine. Only had a few weeks so no complaints yet. Not sure how long to fully charge dead battery.This item did not fit properly into my lighter slot, the second time I used it. I then threw it out. You get what you pay for.For the price cheap this charger is fine. It's a little slow, but when I'm using it on a 6-hour trip, that hardly matters.
