Universal Micro Usb Car Charger


The AT&T retail store was asking $29.95 for this charger, so I decided to look online. I found it on Amazon for less than $5.00, which is less than I would have paid on eBay. The seller shipped promptly, and the item was well packaged.

Universal Micro Car Charger (AT&T branded) with an additional USB (extra cable not incl) port to charge two devices at once.



Works great.



Be advised simultaneous charging of two phones may take significantly longer due to circuit board limitations.

charger works! slows down a bit when you are charging 2 devices but that was expected. only gripe is the white LED light is REALLY bright. I have to angle it away from me in the car so its not blinding my peripheral vision.

Nice to have a USB port in a car-charger. It definitely comes handy when charging your ipod (or other non-micro USB gadgets) as long you have the standard USB Cable that comes with it. The center white disc lights up nicely when plugged in, and can light up the interiors. The coiled cable is a nice feature.

What I did not like about this charger - 1) There is no light indication if a charge has been complete. I question it's ability to auto-shutoff when the phone is fully charged. I haven't been able to confirm it.

2) The center light is nice but can be too bright during night driving. Some may like it though. I'm going to apply a tape over it to cut its intensity.

Overall a good buy for price.

The product description was not clear to me so I want to clarify for others. You get a charger with an ATTACHED micro-USB cord and a space to plug in a USB cable. I prefer this to what I thought it was, which was a charger with 2 USB plug-ins. I love this charger. NOTE: if you use both the attached micro-USB cable to charge and the USB port to charge something else, like an iPod, at the same time, the micro charges first, then the USB cable. Things do NOT charge simultaneously (this is stated on the packaging as well). Overall, great product at a phenomenal price.

Item charges phone like it should. The light is a little bright as others have noted but I haven't used it at night yet. I have not had a reason to use the extra USB charging port but it is nice to have the option if needed. Item is in 2010 retail package but is identical to item in 2011 retail package from AT&T store and is significantly lower in price than the $30 that AT&T charges. Item appears to be legit AT&T product. I had to order this twice (fulfilled by Amazon from two different sellers) because the first item shipped was a different model with mini vice micro USB plug. Return of the first item through Amazon was pain free.'
