Car chargers don't charge at a rate even close to a 110v outlet, same with charging the phone via a computer and USB Cable. I have heard that they only charge at 50% of what a 110v outlet charges at.
I have never tried this, but you could plug a small wattage inverter for $20 or so, that allows you to plug a normal 110v charger into it and then try charging your phone that way.
It has always been an issue that you could have your phone plugged into your car charger and then start a phone call and eventually, the phone will run out of battery power because the charger just does not put enough charger into the phone to both charge it and use it.

Can anyone recommend a charger that works ? What the specs are ?
