Can this be used as a car charger?

No because the phone will slide off the surface too easily. you should look at something like this: RAVPower Qi Wireless Car Charger Dock 3-Triple Coil Qi Enabled Windshield Dashboard Car Mount Holder with Wide Charging Area Wireless Charger For Qi-Enabled Devices

I have successfully used this pad in my car to charge my Galaxy S6. I simply plug the pad's USB cable into a USB port in the car.

It could work in a car but I wouldn't use it as a car charger. Your phone would just slide off.

The power supply is not included with the charger, and it can use anything that can supply the necessary current via a USB port. Therefore, yes, you can purchase any USB power adapter that plugs into the car's cigarette lighter receptacle. I can imagine that you would want one that can output 2A of current.And as other people have mentioned, the device is likely to slide off the surface of the charging pad, as your car accelerates or brakes, so a car is probably not a very appropriate place to use a wireless charging pad that does not have a way to hold the device in position.

As an addendum: I found a tray that fits into my center console and the CHOE pad fits in this tray. The phone is placed on top of the pad, and I use a couple pieces of foam on the side of the inside of the tray to keep the phone stationary. I am able to leave my phone in it's protective case and get charging started as soon as the phone is placed in this tray with the charge pad

I suppose, as long as you have a 2AMP cord to go from the charging pad to a port in your car. Does not seem ideal though, as your phone would have a hard time staying on the charging surface without any kind of adhesive, or maybe velcro.

It probably can, but there are no side rails to hold the device on it. Make a turn and the both go flying of the dash.

Yes you can and it would use it's own internal battery. There is a side plug in as well to charge via outlet or car adapter also so you could do both.

You can use the charger for an automotive battery, if all the battery connections and battery top is very clean. Recommend that the battery be disconnected from vehicle, so that the microprocessor is not reading the vehicle keep alive circuits! I have a negative ground battery disconnect switch to isolate battery from vehicle. Also, charger requires wall current type power source to function properly:)

Sandi,We unfortunately do not have a car charger, but that is an excellent idea! I will inform my supervisor. Thank you for your question.MadelinePhoneSoap Support

I think a car charger is available, but it does not have a USB port. It does stay charged for a while though.

I don't believe it can be used as a charger. My reason for purchasing this cable was so that I could sync my Bose wave Radio to my iPad and iPhone.

I just looked at my charger, its 12VDC / 2 amp, same output as a car cigarette lighter. It is a Positive TIP (center) and Negative Outside jack. As long as you get an adaptor to fit unit and ensure Positive TIP, it will work. As far Amps, a car battery has as much as 500 amps, but don't worry, your box will only draw the 2 or less amps, only what it needs of the available 500 amps.

all I'd say is "probably"... the standard chargers that come with the unit are just 12V 5amp, so as long as the car battery can output that current, shouldn't be a problem.. how it may drain the battery is something else, but the power consumption is pretty low (one of the benefits of LEDs), and if the car would be running, not an issue. Hope that helps.

Yes it can. I alway charge mine in the car, but I do remove it from the steering wheel when chargeing.

It takes lots more than 50 amps to start your car. I do not think your car will even turn over, or if it does not very well. This charger is not really intended as a car starting unit, and if you use it that way you just may "smoke" it. If you have the bucks and balls to try it let me know how it turns out.

It is charged via usb so I don't see why not but I wouldn't drain my car battery to charge it.

I believe so. The USB charges an iPhone, so I don't see why it wouldn't charge it from the car charger (which has a step-down to ensure the 12Volt battery is not the charge you're getting). This little unit is SO useful that I'd still buy it - even if it didn't do that (but I'm pretty sure it will work for you for that use).

Yes Sarah, it can be used to charge any device that uses a USB plug, and because it's 2.1 amps it super fast, I love it so much I ordered several more, one for each car, you won't be sorry.

Yes you can. The charger base has an adaptor that pops out of the back to plug in a wall outlet. That is mainly how I charge mine. The car adaptor is nice when your away for a quick charge on the fly. Hope it helps. Works great for me.

Yes you can, IF the end of your charger cord is equipped with micro-mini USB male plug that also fits your phone AND your car charger can put out enough amps to charge both your phone and a battery.

i am not sure now, but the MIX needs definitely more than 12V, as far as i remember 16V?! so i doubt it will work with a car-charger.

Yes, it can. It will accept two USB cords at one time. I take this thing with me everywhere I go. Use it in the car, then bring it into the office or home with you and plug it into the wall. You'll never need another charger!
