Car Charger for Thunderbolt

[andunn31]

Will this Charger work for the Thunderbolt?

My wife has this exact one that she use to use for her LG enV Touch and she now uses it for her Droid Charge. I need to buy one for my car and wanted to make sure before I bought one.

Yes it will.

Any micro-USB charger will work with any Android phone.

I prefer car adapters that have USB ports, For the TB 1Amp per port is recommended. I've had good luck with SCOSCHE. Though I like how HTC's power indicator light is internal and backlights the USB ports. Why didn't I think of it. Any way .5 Amp might not actually charge it.... just stabilize to slow charge it. Especially if using LTE.

Get a 1 Amp charger. The cheap chargers are often 500 mA and with one of those, you phone won't charge much while using google maps and may actually discharge.

The thunderbolt is a big phone and consumes a fair amount of power. Make certain the power supply can handle what the thunderbolt needs as a "load". I am using a motorola 12volt charger that works well. It is a 1 amp supply. For the thu derbolt, it is a necessary tool. If you drive much you can charge and power the phone as you move about. Very handy.

I second this. I got an OEM Palm charger from AT&T for $3.75 shipped and it gives 5V/1A, which i posted a thread about a while ago. It charges to about .85A, similar to the stock HTC wall charger.

None of those large chargers work in my car. I got a small charger that sits down on the plug and leaves more room for the stick shift to move around. It cost a bit more, but works well. Good for 1 amp.

Or you can make your own like I did for my motorcycle.

I've had a lot of success with this charger. It was recommended in a much, much earlier thread. ShopAndroid has it, but I'm sure you can find it other places.
