I've seen other (cheap) crank chargers described as having wrecked cell phones. Any experience with this one, positive or negative, w/ re cell phones?

I have an iPhone. This is unable to charge. Try Goal Zero solar panels-very small and work well.

Hi! I used to bay two times this radio and both I return because of poor quality. First time Charger not working, second time battery not holding charge... Just get rid of it!

I bought one extra charger at wal-mart and I picked up another one at a gas station one time when I was in a pinch. Some cell phones take the same charger. They are everywhere.

Mine did exactly the same thing. It turns out the charger chord was bad. My windows cell phone uses the same charger so I tried it & now the pulse charges faster & actually holds the charge.

They fixed it for me. I wasn't going to even deal with it because having the extra batteries was a plus, but after posting a negative review they contacted me and ultimately ended up sending the correct charger without requesting the old one back. I was fairly impressed. Hope that helps.

I've had mine for a few weeks now and I like it. It works with my Galaxy S4, with the receiver module placed by the battery. I have other chargers that really makes my phone hot. The LuguLake charges my phone nicely without making the phone hot or without making too many crazy beeps at different times. The great thing about this charger is that you can take it on the road to keep your phone charged. Customer service is really good, too...

I can't check out all the models, but I checked my own several DC18RA chargers (in different locations) bought with tools over a number of preceding (~3-4) years. They all work well and seem fast. I usually buy an additional battery and have never run out before the backup is charged. Of course, I'm not a professional user.

I sent mine back although I did like it. You can use your charger that came with the phone but for me it defeated the purpose of have a car charger because I forget to bring my regular charger with me.

It has not damaged my phone as of yet. I am using that USB daily to fast charge my phone. Theoretically, it could shorten your phone battery 's life.

No this was the worse charger. If this is the type of quality Neewer company has has to then I would stay away. Instead of charging my battery it drained it. Furthermore I had to replace my battery on my phone because of the drainage this charger did. Just awful. Let me repeat awful. Did I say awful already?????

Lucky for you. I only used mine once. It got so hot I was afraid it would damage my phone. Send it back and get a refund. Not worth ruining a phone.

I'm using a basic generic charger to recharge, Enloop, Duracell, Failsafe and Energizer batteries and never had a issue. I can't say whether a Duracell charger is going to definitely work, since I don't use one. If in doubt try charging a pair of Enloops and see what happens.

Difficult question. Full charge while playing radio soft? Loud? In the sunshine? In the dark? Charging other devices? With an occasional crank of the charger? Absolutely refusing ever to to crank the charger? I've never let mine fully run out, but the answer is that unless you're completely incapacitated, it's totally simple to keep it going, given all the options that are available to you.

Get this. You'll love it. I can re-charge one cellphone at least five times on the charge this thing stores. You can also charge two items at a time. It has LED lights that tell you how much power is left in the charger. It's great for camping trips. Holds the charge for a LONG, LONG time. (Like weeks.) If you let it get totally discharged you will know it because all the LEDs will be out. It's never happened to me because when it gets down to one or two LEDs left, I recharge the charger. This is a great item. Get it! You will ♥ love ♥ it! No drop in performance yet and I've used it a LOT! Get this. You'll love it.

Ive found that you cant actually get the crank speed consistent long enough to actually be able to charge either my ipod touch or my samsung stratosphere. I think its best used as a crank radio and not as a phone charger

No, don't waste your money and time. Hope that helps. I have 2 chargers that don't work now. I only spent $6 but I feel like these guys are selling obsolete hardware that they purchase for pennies per piece and they charge $6. And its not worth to fight that amount.

The charger is just a mini usb charger. So, any droid cellphone charger will do. Go to any store and you will find a good charger. Even a drug store.
