Charger problems

[greywolf1965]

I have been having a problem replacing my car charger.
i purchased off ebay a car charger and wall charger combo...I plugged them in and my battery percentage went down almost quickly like it was being drained.
Now, my home charger, which is the original charger, charges my phone up perfectly. I am also able to charge my phone up using a usb cable on my home computer and also on my work computer.

I purchased another car charge. This one is a usb cable that plugs into a car charger. This one also "drains" my power down. What am I doing wrong?
I do not have the chargers with me or I would include some technical information. I will do that in the morning.

I am at a lose for ideals. I do work in the electronic world so I have a little understanding about electronics.

Thank you.

Maybe it's not the car chargers but something wrong with wiring in your car?

This weekend I had the opportunity to test two car charges that are not charging in my car in another vehicle....the same result....phone lost power on both chargers.


I think that I will spend the money and get a HTC car adapter.

You can try some of the chargers at amazon. They are cheap and work well with all of my HTC devices. Some of the chargers for ebay and amzon are cheap quality from china, so if you are worried you might get burened again you can search oem chargers instead of generic ones. And make sure the power rating isnt really low like 300mah.

had the same problem as u..
the charger i used to have declared it had 5v 1A output but it couldn't charge my tytn2 in the car, in fact it drained the battery even more...
than i got a micro usb car charger with 1A output from ebay (store: gadg-e-tech ) and so far so good, my tytn keeps charging..
although i have this problem now :mad: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=779008 but i think it's a software problem...

I had the same problem 1 charger would charge the other drain. I had several car chargers and motorola ones too and none worked not even an htc origional. I got the usb cable that came with the phone and a generic car charge and pluged in the usb an all worked fine.
