Palm Pre Car Charger?

[Gelst]

I have the 850 ma Sprint charger with the glowing yellow Sprint thingy. It kept up with my Pre doing Navigation with the screen on the whole time and actually charging the phone while doing so. If I can do the same with the Evo, then I'll be happy. If not, time for a bigger charger.

Manny, have you run into any problems with your car charger yet ? like the ones you stated above ?

I'm worried that the sprint car charger wont be able to keep up the EVO battery on a long road trip with Navigation and who knows what else running..

Anyone tested that out yet ?

i just bought the new Sprint OEM car and wall chargers specifically listed for the HTC EVO 4G. i posted the links in the other thread. they work great. check the model numbers when you buy.

IMO don't scrimp on chargers.

that's cool, sounds like you have extra $ to throw around...i'll pm you my paypal email address.

Yes because that accessory will cost him a week's worth of a paycheck thereby only allowing his kids one hot meal a day.

Pre charger works. My car charger keeps up in regards to charging while using navigation over long distances.

I use Navigation almost every day, and using it with the charger plugged in, it charges the phone rather quickly, even with Navi on. So no, no issues with the Sprint charger.

Again, mine is 850 one that has the Sprint logo on the back and a yellow circle around it that lights up when you plug it in.

I've charged with the Pre charger in the car, the included OEM charger in the office, and a blackberry charger in the kitchen. All seem work fine.

Manufacturers and phone companies make a killing on these things. That's why they want you to think you need a new one every time you buy a new device.

i use a blackberry charger also and that works great. i honestly have only used the supply charger the first day i got it

I'm also using my "old" Pre vehicle charger on the EVO...

the Pre vehicle charger is rated at 1amp so there's no need to worry that it's not rated for the phone.

now all I need to do is get another one CHEAP to use on my Harley!

IMO that iGo stuff is cheaply made garbage. my niece has one that keeps fraying and falling apart and cconstantly needs replaced. not to mention the contraption factor of juggling the tips. i told her to forget that garbage and always buy OEM!

hopefully now we are on a standardized microUSB charger for the forseeable future.

My pre charger is much better. I have a fairly used Evo car charger for sell.LOL.

The Pre charger is probably the best charger I've found for the Evo. Just make sure it is model number 3453ww. Check your local Radio Shack, they have had them on clearance for $9.99. There are also some on ebay and Amazon.

I'm using my Pre wall charger and car charger for my EVO. Not one problem. The wall charger even works on my iPod. You just plug in you iPod cable and it charges away.

Not all chargers are equal. Sure, there is a standard, but some of the no-named ones barely meet the standard or they are over/under the min/max. Those are the ones that go for cheap < $10. The OEMs tell you not to use a non-OEM charger as a cover their *** - gotcha! measure. They don't have to honor a warranty if you used a Palm charger on an HTC phone. Most of them do anyways, though.

This is the one that I have been using with no problems. I am also using the precharge that I had at work (I am using the EVO charger at home).
