Galaxy S8 car charger

[shasticat]

I'm looking for a good car charger for my new Samsung Galaxy S8. What car chargers do you use and can recommend?

Update: Just ordred the Quick Charge 3.0 AUKEY Car Charger , looks really good

I'm using this Anker and it works great.

I put these two items in the car. The wireless charger fit perfectly in one of the storage spaces - so I can drop the phone in and it charges - with an additional USB cable connected to the other port for fast (er) charging if needed.

I use that also. When it works it's awesome however lately it seems when it's hot in my truck it won't charge. It needs to cool down before it will start to charge. I find that annoying. Not sure if it's the charger or the vehicle. I've tested the cable, it's not that.

I've never observed that and it's gotten quite hot in my truck. Strange.

I only trust Factory OEM chargers. Then use the adapter that came with the phone.

Or these if you want extras.

This is the one I use. I've had it about a month and so far, so good.

That's the one I just got as well. I use Anker for any cables or chargers I buy for my phone's.

Currently 13.99 at Amazon. I just bought one. Be aware though that it says it's not QC rated.

Where does it say that? Anker's web site indicates it is Quick Charge 3.0.

It specifically says it's not QC.

 

[Kalvin Kerns]

And this

 

[shabbs]

Damn... that's pretty misleading with the Quick Charge 3.0 statement on their site... sure it's missing the Qualcomm mention but most will overlook and assume, like I did. Interesting.

EDIT: The description of the one I got is different and does mention Quick Charge.

Two different models? The 24W one is older, I got the 39W one.

 

[Kalvin Kerns]

I think you're right. It's two different models. Dang.

Yep. This is the one you got:

It's missing the Quick Charge logo as well.

Sure is. Well that's a bummer, but it'll still go to good use. Besides I don't wanna pay $30 for a charger.
