My GF has a car charger.... but it literally chargers at a rate of like 2% per hour, it's horrible! At one point yesterday, my phone was actually declining in battery (albeit while using GPs though). But still, it should still somewhat charge, even though GPS is in use. So any good recommendations for a high output car charger?! Thanks in advance!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GX5ORL4 charges mine up at like 48% hr. it isn't as high as an amperage as the other one posted, but it also isn't as ugly. I've bought 4 of these and not one complaint.

Basically anything with 2A charger will be good for your S4. I have the Anker Dual-Port Car Charger

I used this one driving over 5 days over the holidays charging my S4 and my (work) 5S. Excellent, and I love that it is so small when travelling by air.

Yup, if you look at your wall charger that came with your S4 you will see that 2.1A is the preferred charging. I had an old charger that could not charge my GS4 in the car while I was using it. I have a couple of different high amp chargers that I use so no specific brand loyalty just don't buy the cheapest.
