Any Essential Phone PH-1 owners who can weigh in on this matter. What’s the Best Fastest Anker Car Charger for Essential Phone PH-1 ? For its very power hungry phone.
I have purchased Anker Car Charger AK-A2229011 USB C Car Charger, Anker 49.5W PowerDrive Speed+ 2 Car Adapter with One 30W PD Port. I have had with mixed results, charging speeds:
-
In a U- Haul Truck I recently rented Essential Phone PH-1 Charged at Rapid Speed 100% of the time.
*** In a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado Charging speed varied constantly switching from Slow to Rapid back and forth. **
*** In a 2018 Dodge Caravan Charging speed varied constantly switching from Slow to Rapid back and forth.**
In a 2018 Mercedes S 500 Charging speed varied constantly switching from Slow to Rapid back and forth
I get most current gen vehicles were not designed to charge the new class of phones / tablets that take up 30 Watts **
Is Anker working on a Power Bank solution that designed to stay live in your car?**
What are the choking points if I want to upgraded my cars charging capacity?
The Essentials wall charger outputs a maximum of 5V 3A Or 9V 3A, It can charge at up to 27W.
From Essential
support page "Essential Phone uses an open charging standard called “USB Power Delivery” for charging (note that this is different from Qualcomm’s Quick Charge technology). It can charge at up to 27W.
For best results with third-party chargers, look for one that supports USB Power Delivery over USB Type-C. Most standard USB chargers will also work, but will not charge the phone rapidly." link enter link description here
