Where are you buying your charger?

[yungwunn911]

Looking for a spare wall and car charger. Personally i think sprints 40$ ones are a bit expensive. Where have you all purchased yours?

 

[trooper54]

i ordered 3 micro usb cables on Newegg for $15 , you can purchase a car adapter for another 10. that way you can use the cables any where you have a usb port.

I'm just using the two from my Pre.

I bought a Palm Pre charger while they were on clearance at Radio Shack.

Best Buy also has them for $19.99

I did a lot of research on car chargers this weekend. Seidio is selling one for the EVo for arouns 13 bucks. It is a car charger from a well known company as well as providing 1k amps or whatever which the evo needs to charge... Anything less and the phone may not charge is you are using navigation and whatever..

anyway here is the link...


High Output Car Charger

I walked in to my closest Sprint store and they gave me two BlackBerry chargers that work with the EVO for free.

I got a NEW OEM MOTOROLA CAR CHARGER (micro USB) on Amazon for $7.15 which works fine with the Evo.

1,000 AMPS? HOLY COW!!! be careful with that bad boy! j/k ... obviously 1000 mA

I bought a Sprint car charger from a Sprint Store (w/ Premier discount),
then ordered the Sprint travel charger with folding plug on eBay for $20. it's 850mA

I looked at those Motorola car charers from Amazon too and you need to be careful about which one you buy. The ones that I researched were all under 1000ma which is what the EVO uses to charge. If you get a charger with less MA then the charger wont really charge the phone with navigation and stuff running on it , it will slowly drain the battery until the phone dies. I know from personal experience.

i just bought two from walmart last night. $14.56 about per charger. they are under powered, but they eventually get the job done.

Yeah the one I bought at BB is doing that ... the phone drained from 100% to 91% in the car with GPS, maps, music, and screen on after 2 hours. >_<

 

[Gekko]

i have 4 chargers -

3 wall/travel chargers - home, office, travel bag

1 car charger

4 total

i have the HTC one that came with the phone and i bought everything else at Sprint retail or Sprint.com.

all OEM!!!!!!!!!!

 

[curthibbs]

This was so cheap (I thought it must be a pricing error), so I ordered 5 of them:

Amazon.com: Crazyondigital High Capacity Dual USB 2.1A Home Travel&#133;

Its a Dual USB 2.1A wall charger. The one that comes with the Evo is a single USB 1.0A wall charger.

I came from a touch pro 2. I bought an adapter(mini usb to micro usb) so now I can use all my old car chargers and headsets...only about 6 bucks

 

[nickknaack]

Local Sprint store for $14...

 

[Borgie]

i picked up two of these at monoprice... I've never had a problem with the quality of their product before so I'll give it a shot.

For only $0.99 each when QTY 50+ purchased - Car Charger (Cigarette Lighter) to USB Female Converter - White | Car Charger Accessories

picked up two chargers, two 3 foot cables, and two 6 foot cables for 12.50 shipped

 

[DCTRILOGY]

Check monoprice or newegg first but if not Radioshack has them for $19.99. Anywhere is sure to beat the $33 from sprint though.

 

[highwayman1224]

Wal-Mart, $15

The Motorola linked above is 950ma and works great. Keeps up just fine while navigating. The sprint OE car charger is 850ma, so I heard.
