Poll: Your chargers speed? Post you results.

This thread is for all of us to get an idea of how much power we are sucking out of are chargers. So we can help others find a good car charger that can keep up with the heaviest power user.
Please follow the instructions and post your results in a reply. Or just read and learn.

So how much power will your charger put out? To find out start with a half charged battery. Turn on blue tooth. wifi, gps and have an active data connection or be talking on the phone with a blue tooth headset all at the same time.

Use a battery monitor program such as: 'nuePower '

for instructions and info about the nuePower app.

or "battery monitor"

Don't feel over wellmed with all my questions better for you to answer some then none.

In your reply make note of the:
Discharge rate?
Charge rate?
Temperature?
If you had to have it on a fan to keep it cool enough to charge?
Phone model and Rom?
Charger source AC (wall charger) or DC (Car charger)?
Charger model number and what it is designed for?
And where we can buy a charger like yours?
How much your charger will cost us?


I like the nuePower best it puts a short cut in start/settings/system and the GUI looks nice. With my touch pro with sprint I have a 780mA draw when providing wifi internet to my laptop. Im lucky to break even when using the factory 1,000mA charger. (must use a fan or phone over heats and wont charge) Phone can dubble as a pocket warmer when running these programs. Try having the wifi, Bluetooth, gps and phone raido on all at the same time! This thing might catch on fire. My laptop has a slower possessor and does less then my phone had my lap top has built in fan what an idea! I think some one otta design a battery cover that works like a heat sink heat paste and all.
