Specifications for Car Charger

I bought a USB Car Charger long before I got my Ipod, I now decided to try it out, but I just get the Ipod to power on, that means it recognizes that something is plugged in, but it doesn't recharge.
The Car Charger has an output of 5.0V and could reach up to 400mA.
Is the problem that it's not enough powerfull?
Thanks

Same question... what does the output need to be. Any suggestions for a car USB adaptor that is good to buy (I want the USB adaptor, not the dock adaptor for the car).
Thanks,
Tim

  • USB to firewire for car charger?

    I have a car charger for my iPod that accepts a firewire cable. I'd like to charge my iPhone with the same device. Does someone make a USB-to-firewire adapter I could use? Any chance it would harm my iPhone?

    Bumping this once in hopes of getting an answer.

  • Specifications for wireless charging plate plug

    Hello, 
    I'm going to be modding one of my charging plates into my car to sit under the mobile phone tray. As the plate input is 12V 0.7A this should be able to run straight off the cigarette lighter socket, I figure I'll be making my own plug.
    Does anyone know the physical dimensions of the plug? (i.e. inner diameter, outer diameter, tip length)
    Alternatively is there anywhere I could purchase a replacement cable?
    At this stage it looks like the only way about it will be butchering either the cable or the wall adapter on mine but I really want to avoid that at this stage. . .

  • Car charger with aux

    I'm searching for car charger with aux something like:
    http://us.kensington.com/html/14493.html
    but no arm or remote control thing and cheaper one.
    now I have aux cable connected to earphone out put and connect USB-dock cable to charge. So I want a charger that can output sound from dock to aux so I only need to connect dock cable.
    please let me know if you know some product like that.

    There's the Griffin TuneFlex and the Kensington LiquidAUX.

  • What are my options for in car charging AND music playing for iPhone 3G?

    Ok, before you direct me to the other threads, I have read them, and I still don't know what product I can buy for my 3G that will charge my phone and play music in my car.
    With my original iPhone I was using the Griffin iTrip FM transmitter. It always gave me that message to ask if I want to switch to airplane mode. I would pick yes or no, then it would charge and play music.
    When I plug in my 3G I get the yellow triangle warning that says this device doesn't charge this phone (paraphrasing of course). It appears that it will play music, but if it won't charge my phone then I'm going to run the battery down fast. I rely on being able to charge my phone a bit during the day in the car.
    I do not have any AUX port in my car or any kind of iPod hookup in my car that I am reading about on other threads. As far as I know, an FM transmitter or a cassette adapater (I do have a tape deck) are my only options. However, since my husband's car that I drive on the weekends to work does not have a tape deck, I would really prefer a device that does not use a tape (also my previous experience with a tape adapter is that they stop working after a short while).
    The power port in my car is nearly at the floor, nowhere near the dash, so any device I use cannot require me to rely on the "on device" controls to control the music.
    I see this on amazon
    *Griffin PowerJolt Car Charger for iPod and iPhone (Black)*
    *Technical Details*
    *¿ Enjoy full use of your iPod or iPhone during car trips, and arrive with your battery fully charged.*
    *¿ Includes detachable Dock Connector to USB Type A cable that can be used separately to connect your iPod or iPhone to your computer.*
    *¿ Includes USB Type A to mini-B cable so you can charge while using Griffin iTrip or other dock connector devices that have built-in pass-throughs.*
    *¿ 2 Amp automotive blade-type fuse protects against spikes and surges and is easily replaceable.*
    *¿ Works with iPhone, iPod models that feature full-size dock connector, and iPod shuffle (1st generation).*
    And in another thread, people reported that the Griffin powerjolt DOES work with the 3G, so does the above description mean that I can use this device with my iTrip to charge and play music?

    My Pioneer iPod car audio adapter cable does NOT charge my iPhone 3G and they have no plans to change this at this time.
    I have a cheapo Griffin car iPod charger (the kind that has a plug for the cigarette lighter and a separate cable that has a mini-USB on one end and a dock connector on the other) and it DOES charge my 3G iPhone.
    Go figure, but for now there it is.
    Someone HAS to be working on an adapter that goes between the 3G iPhone and a dock connector device to fix this charging issue (which I guess has to do with the last iPhone and many iPods being able to charge via USB at 5V and/or FireWire at 12V but the new iPhone only charging via USB at 5V)

  • I need to buy an external battery solar charger for my iPad 2. Does anyone have the specifications for it, such as  volts, miliamperes, amperes, etc ??

    I Want to buy an external  solar battery charger for my iPad 2. Does anyone know the right specifications for it.
    Is this one good for me ? 12000mAh Portable Solar Power Battery Pack. You can find it on this link.
    http://dx.com/p/12000mah-portable-solar-power-battery-pack-with-laptop-cellphone -adapters-72218?item=37
    Thanks.

    The iPad charger is rated at 10W - 5V @ 2A  An iPhone/iPod charger is rated at 5W - 5V @ 1A. An iPhone charger will charge the iPad, but much slower than the iPad charger. Based on the specs, I don't think it's adequate for the iPad.

  • Where can I find a car charger for my new iPhone 5?

    Where can I find a car charger for my new iPhone 5?

    I use a power inverter which works great. You can get one that plugs into your car charger for about $30-$50 on Amazon. You just plug it into your car charger and plug the MBP power pack into that.

    Where do I find the best car charger for my new 13" retina display macbook pro?

    There are none for any MBP that Apple sells or endorses.  I have seen some available, but none that I am willing to take a risk with.
    Ciao.

  • I received a car charger for xmas. I have an iPhone 4. Is there a difference in the charging dock between the older and newer iphones? I don't want to damage it by shoving a cable in that is designed for a newer model.

    I received a car charger for xmas. I have an iPhone 4. Is there a difference in the charging dock between the older and newer iphones? I don't want to damage it by shoving a cable in that is designed for a newer model.

    they don't look very much alike so if anybody were damage byt forcing it in it would be their own fault seeing how diffrent they are

  • "Universal Laptop DC car charger power adapter" for Lenovo g530

    Hey there,  I'm a complete tech numskull, so pardon me if this is incredibly naive.  I recently made an impulse buy of an off-brand "Universal Laptop DC car charger power adapter" with the hopes of using it in a car with my Lenovo G530.  I haven't gotten it yet but after purchasing it, I noticed the power adapter that came with my Lenovo  is "AC."  Is it possible to us the DC adapter with my laptop, where my cord says "AC"?  I obviously don't want to fry my laptop and was wondering what I should look out for.  The adapter was pretty cheap, which is another red flag but it also means I won't be out much if I made a mistake in buying it (ebay purchase). 
    Thanks in advance for your input.

    It seems the spare is the new specs. Check these 2 spares. They are the same 4.74amp. http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-3000-G530-444638U-Adapter/dp/B002Z209G6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=electronic... http://www.amazon.com/COMPUTER-Power-Adapter-Cord-LENOVO/dp/B002MY2MLM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electron...

  • In car charger for Lumia 1020.

    Is there anything available bar the expensive wireless charger?     Just a normal cigarette plug in job will do.
    I've looked on the Nokia site but can't find anything.
     Is the USB charging port on the phone a standard port?   I have a JCB car charger at work that I could use if it will work.

    yes it is a standard charging port, however as for playing music it uses the MTP standard so not everything will play (if at all).

  • Need car charger for 3G

    What do you suggest?
    Given that not all chargers work for the 3G (only the firewire seem to work), do I need a car charger with a firewire connector?
    This one seems okay and is made by Griffin:
    http://www.amazon.com/Griffin-Technology-PowerPod-Firewire-Charger/dp/B00016V3VI
    The picture shows firewire connectors on both sides of the cable but the description says:
    Includes 4-foot FireWire cable with dock connection
    Its not clear what the cable is and whether I will be okay with it.

  • Car Charger for Qosmio F60

    Hi,
    Is there a car charger available for the F60 laptop? I am having trouble finding one.
    Thanks

    Hi Ivan25,
    Unfortunately the F60 Voltage is 19v @ 4.74amps which is higher than a normal notebook and as such I don't think a generic universal charger would work.
    I suspect the charger would need to be some sort of an inverter to convert the normal car 12v to the required voltage.
    Thanks anyway
