Been using this for years, don't need the meter.

Do something useful :)

LIST the cigarette lighter chargers YOU know of that have 2 charger ports, 5-amperes charging potential. Forget about the meter, that's icing on the cake.

Finally?

I have a S4, it does charge up fast. Much faster than on the car plug. I'll have to see if the charger would make a difference on my one touch.

This is what happens when you stay tethered to your smartphone 24 hours a day.
I don't like carrying too much in my pockets and prefer not to be bothered with phone calls at night, so I simply put it on charger in the night. Moreover - since my work is neither off-grid nor require staying tethered to the phone during a day, I often shut it off for a few hours during a day, or it's on stand-by and draws very little, or it's sitting in the charger on my desk. As a result, I only have to put it on charger once in 2 or 3 nights.

Mex needs a Galaxy S4 that comes with the 2 amp charger and uses it. Charges up in full in an hour, about 2 hours with an Extended Battery. I donated his first smart phone to him, the Galaxy S2.

Maybe someone that's been helped by him a time or three should step up and donate one of their Galaxy S4's with a known good battery in it and the factory charger. Just be sure to press the factory reset button on it before you send it his way. A 16 gig SC memory card also in it would be a nice touch too, for storage.

$14.99 after spending $99 dollars for a year's worth of shipping. But good point Learjet. It's the device that counts. I have a 5-amp wall charger. But standard cig-lighter chargers are a joke. 5-days to recharge a Samsung Galaxy?

Mex and his new toys... Always at the leading edge of something... I only wish I knew - of what :)

Use your 5A wall charger. My Android HTC takes 4 hours on wall charger. I have no idea how many days it would take on a standard cig charger, could be forever - because some tasks draw more power than USB will pull via standard cig charger. But I'm home every night, even when "home" is a trailer with no grid power. Wall charger and a small inverter, that's all that is needed.

Btw, you don't have to spend $99 to get free shipping on Amazon. All you need is to place $35 order that would include this $14.99 charger - if you do have to have this toy.

Your phone *should* have it's own built-in controller inside. That said, APPLE stuff is cranky. I would check first with the company.

Would that 5 amp charge shorten the battery like of an I phone? I think my charger at home is 1 amp and the 12V USB charger is .5 amps.
