Car chargers usually are bad at charging smartphones. That's what messed up my epics batteries

When you say the Factory charger, you mean the plug AND the USB cable? I've heard lots of people having issues when they tried using the cable from other phones or even cameras!
Any chance that it could even be a problem with the electrical outlet that you are using?? I know it's a bit far fetched, but hey gotta think of all the bizarre possibilities.
It really doesn't make any sense that it could happen with THREE different phones... that's why I'm pretty sure it must be something else.

Stop using car chargers! Narrow down the problem. If the problem goes away after stopping car chargers...problem solved. If not, get a UPS for charging.

BTW, what year car ect?
