Charging Solutions

[flyingfischer5]

Anyone know of any charging solutions that WORK for the Motorola Droid? I just got the Zagg Sparq in the mail yesterday and it does not work. Not sure why. All the specs look the same for the output power, and i am using the oem cable.

And i also have the Callpod Fueltank Duo and that also does not work. But here is the thing with this one. When i plug it in, it reconized there was a usb pluged in but still does not charge.

Any help would be great! Thanks

hmmm.... i just bought one that should be here in a few days. im feeling a little disapointed i did read in another....

I got mine last week. It's pretty good. Gotta figure out how to get my PSP Go to charge off it (I might have to set it to USB mode), but it charges my phone FAST!!!

The only issue is that for some reason, the initial plug in doesn't charge the phone, I have to unplug the USB side and then replug it in for it to work, kinda weird and annoying, but I can live with it

I spend a lot of time on the road, and I wind up playing with my phone when I'm having lunch alone sometimes. This thing makes sure that my phone is charged all the time!!!

I messed around with it a little it won't charge my droid and my palm at the same time just unplug and plug it back in then press the button to turn on the LED lights and it should work fine

Zagg Sparq works with the Droid

i bought it too and it works sometimes but not always.

I have been using the sparq on my droid. So far no problems. What is happening with yours?

Yeah mine still does not work. I've tried everything.

I also ordered a Zagg Sparq yesterday. I just noticed that it doesn't even have a 1 day warranty. The shields and audio products have a warranty, but the Sparq has NO warranty. At least that is the impression that I get from the invoice.

Also, Zagg gets pretty poor ratings on resellerratings.com.

ZAGG / shieldzone.com - zagg.com - Reviews, Ratings and Prices at ResellerRatings

I hope this wasn't a total mistake to order from them.

If your rude response was to my post about the Keningston charger, please note that the subject of this thread is 'Charging Solutions', not 'Solar Charging Solutions'.

I offered an alternative which works for me.

Forgive me if I offended you.

If you would even bother clicking the link, you would see that it isn't JUST a solar charger. :icon_eek:

Just interesting that no one has referenced my post in this thread (seeing as this one is more active).

I found a cheap one online while looking for a portable charger. I found this one on amazon and found out that Wal-Mart actually sells it for really cheap.

Walmart.com: Music Power Encore Dual USB Port Charger and Extended Rechargeable Battery for iPod and MP3 Players: Batteries

There's the link to it, once it's in stock I will be sure to pick one up and let everyone know if it's any good or not. All reviews I have read on it have seem to be pretty decent.

Only $12.98

I have a Solio solar charger. It works fine if you plug it into the wall, but a total POS when you leave it to solar charge. Takes forever on a sunny day, doesn't charge for $hit on a cloudy day. You wind up carrying around an extra cable to charge a solar powered device. Oh, and using your window to charge on a plane? The Solio is designed to stick on a window. You know what they call people who stick electronic devices on a window at 30k feet? Terrorists
