Once again out of stock for some reason, but a great accessory worth buying whether HTC branded or not, us a Dual Port USB Car charger. HTC offers one from their own store, but it's out of stock. Allowing owners to plug two devices in at once, like the HTC 10 and their HTC BoomBass speaker or some wireless headphones. This has two fast 2.4amp outputs for quick charging speeds while on the go. Since it's out of stock and doesn't do Quick Charge 3.0, we'd recommend one from this list instead. For those who'd rather wait, here's the link to HTC.com to buy it when it becomes available again. | |||||||||||

Why cant HTC release a Car Dock like they did for m7,m8 for this phone I spend a lot of time in my vehicle and need that charging cradle for my phone! I hate stupid universal docks, extra step involved if you want it charging. should be just plug and play.

I totally agree. The M8 cradle was very good indeed – I tried to adapt it but it was beyond my skill level!

If you want your Battery to stay factory fresh and last a very very long time. ONLY use the USB to charge it. Never plug in a fast charger.
The USB uses 3+ volts and the Plug in uses over twice that for a fast charge at the expense of the battery’s life. You will notice that the battery does not heat up with the USB charger and the plug in one will cook the battery to a noticeable amount. That is killing the battery.

Dan is confusing voltage with amperage. A USB port is always rated at 5V but most chargers use a lower voltage ~4V. It’s the amperage that gets cranked up to 2.4 or 3.0 by Quick Charge v2.0 or v3.0.
It’s true that charging more quickly at a higher amperage will shorten the life of most batteries of all types. However, it appears that Qualcomm has designed intelligent circuitry into the Quick Charge specs to prevent that. I have not noticed any difference in the temperature of the battery or case when comparing the Quick Charge 3.0 with an older 1A charger.
