A charger to charge a car or something else?

Sorry, like a car phone charger. Should've been more specific.

I think I've only had one usb car charger fail and that was when my dog decided to jump on it and it cracked. Anker is usually my go to brand for that kind of thing these days but I've used all sorts in the past.

These aren’t really BIFL but I’ve had good luck with monoprice and anker.

If talking about a battery charger. Mine is a Craftsman (who actually made unknown), it's switchable between 2, 5, and 10amp. It must go back to at least the late 80s.

Thanks for the input. Anker is usually my go to for chargers. Never had the car charger though.

Your question has no answer, so you are going to get a spiral of advice without help. USB, cigarette, USB-C are the inputs. Apple to Samsung to Inductive charging are outputs. There are 10,000 places in 10,000 different vehicles where the inputs, outputs and places to charge your phone vary along with other subtleties like fast charging capacity of your phone vs capacity of the charger.

And you are discounting other options like a portable battery which can be used outside of your car's resources.

I'm sorry but the internet isn't going to help with this question. Buy what is practical for your situation and run with it.

Thanks dude! I was caught up in emotions this morning because my car charger that I recently bought takes like 6 hours to charge my phone. Hahahaha reddit has always been helpful so I figured I'd ask you guys. You're completely right though. Thank you for the sobering reply.

In a lot of models, your usb car plugs aren’t going to output the amps needed to fast charge. So it’s somewhat likely have to use a cigarette charger if you want the fast charging capability
