Full Power Car Charger? Has anyone found one? All of the car chargers I have tried so far show as low powered.

The AC charger for the HP Chromebook 11 is not a standard USB charger. It outputs 5.25 volts at 3 Amps. There is a charger in the Newegg page that says that it is for the HP 11 but it doesn't give the specs for it and it has no reviews. Good luck.

Hello, I never actually looked closely at the charger specs before---but I have just looked and here's what it says. Ac input 100-240 volts output 4.5 vdc. Charger only uses 13w while charging. I don't know about your traveling situation---but this thing holds a charge really long---I charge it 2x a year only because I want to----not much hair !!! 13 watts isn't much -I'm thinking a car lighter charger much like you would use for a phone that has an output of 4.5 vdc . Radio Shack or another electronics store could help in that regard. Good Luck and Happy Trails !

Mine doesn't work at all. My advice would be to save your money. There are other portable chargers out there that don't look as pretty, but at least they work

That's a good one!By mistake my wife threw out mine!I tried to find a charger,but was unsuccessful! I ended up buying a second total trimmer,to get the charger,and i'm not sure that's available anywhere now. Sorry.Good luck.P.S. I ordered a charger from a parts co. but had to return it-didn't fit.

I got an AC charger at a computer repair shop. They had a bunch of old chargers in a bin and they gave it to me for free! Be sure it delivers at least 1500ma output though, or you'll be charging your battery for a long time. Also, I found a cigarette lighter (12V plug) power cord, brand new at a thrift store for $4. Works great.

I haven't tried the car adapter. It came with one, but I've always used the regular wall charger. They are good about returns though. I bought the wrong one the first time and they took it back without any problems.

i've had mine a while so if there was a car charger i don't recall one or lost it. of course, the plug in would work in a car with a power inverter.

Hi Bryan,So your car does not have a cigarette lighter socket? Whoops! Unfortunately I am not familiar with what new cars have and have not with regards to a 12V DC output. The item that you have bought requires either a USB or a cigarette lighter type connector. I guess that I would ask your car guy if you have such an output connector in the car or can one be installed. I have not heard of this before. Good luck.r

I've only charged it with the house/wall charger and it works great! It does come with the car charger but I'm not sure what the amperage is. I find that anything I charge in the car takes forever. I recommend just checking the power level (button on the system) once in a while and charge it with the wall charger.

Anyone crack one open and see if this is anymore than a transformer and a couple diodes or is it an active charger that dials back the voltage or current when the battery is charged? Thanks. (I know it's only $8, but still wondering)

Checked out the Scosche web site and found a reVIVE II - Dual USB Car Charger (USB12V2A) which purportedly has two 1.0 Amp USB outlets. It's anybody's guess whether this a different charger than what Amazon is selling, but it appears to be better equipeed to accomodate two iPhones at the same time.Hope this helps!

the one I bought was a used unit so it was pretty reasonable. It is a 19.2 volt batteru charger that plugs into a cigarette lighter in a car. I haven't tried it yet.... I hope it is a working unit. Don't know much more about it!

The one I bought came with a wall charger. I bought a separate charger to charge batteries more quickly. You may want to consider doing this. The charger that came with the car is very slow.

mine did not work long. It worked for a few days when I plugged it into car charger but then broke down.

This device does NOT charge at 4.2 amps or even 1 amp in your car. It's power output specs are for 24 volt trucks and military vehicles, not 12 volt cars. The maximum input is 1,000 milliamps. That is 1 amp at 12 volts. Unless the manufacturer has figured out how to break the laws of physics (conservation of energy) there is no way that this device has more than 2 amps output at 12 volts. I know. I was dumb enough to buy one, only to watch my battery drop while "charging" and using GPS. I estimate that the charger was putting out about 700 milliamps in the android output.

Allen: after using this charger a few times I am disappointed in it. One of the charging stations actually heats up the battery and it starts to leak acid. I stopped using it all together. I was standing next to it and heard a pop after not relizing what it was it took a bit to open the charger and find this is what made the noise. This charges very well but that one station kills the battery. I'm sorry to say I am disappointed to say the least. To answer your querstion it has lights above each charging station and they go from red to green when the batteries ar charged.

I have never used the car charger, a wall outlet usually recharges in 20-25 mins. However, I must tell you, once recharged, your lucky to get 40-45 minutes usage and then they are dead again.. Frankly, I don't use mine anymore, chalked it up as a learning experience.
