try a different car? maybe it's your car's lighter socket? the chargers should all limit it ot like 5v or so.. you could always get a voltimeter and check

Look for a charger that has a higher amperage ( A ) or ( mA ) value on it label. That is what actually matters the most as they all charge at 5v.

And if anybody finds a good solution, please post it here. I too am looking for a good car charger. I did a search (google) and found too many!

TIA,

If you head to radio shack, the igo charger (273.1337) with tip 53 (273.1326) charges it faster than any other charger I've ever owned. The charger is 29.99 and the tip comes free with the charger.
The beautiful thing is if you ever get the palm 800, you use a tip 43, an ipod a tip 61, a crackberry a tip 29. You get a new whatever or bust your tip, rather than shelling out 20 or 30 bucks for a new charger just 5 or 10 bucks for a new tip.
Edit: I just remembered the best part about it. The package is easy open, so if it doesn't do it for you, it's easy to return. Just hang on to the slip

And what, pray tell, is so horrible about shopping at radio shack?

I bought the HTC car charger. I can charge with say 70% and full charge in about a hour.

If you have extra home chargers like me, you can buy a power inverter, which will change the DC into AC. You can also plug in your laptop or most other devices that require AC. You can find a decent one at Home Depot, Target, Walmart, or other major retailers for about $30.

I'd much rather get a charger at the Shack than some cheapo import from ebay.

If you actually tinker with electronics... the shack is probably a frequent stop.
