It's been rather hit or miss with car chargers. Have a look over here: http://www.droid-life.com/2015/10/19/nexus-6p-nexus-5x-quick-charge/ As you can see, you might get really good results with that, or you might not. I've had good results with their products, so I personally wouldn't be overly concerned. The point is though - we won't know until someone tries it and reports the results back.
If you're buying through Amazon, you can always return it. Go get the Ampere app from the play store, plug it in to that charger, and if you're not satisfied with the results, send it back.

I suggest the tronsomart. It's not true 3A but it'll be good enough.

Good
many one are using this charger and it is really a good one for long drive.

I can confirm it the 6P does at least display the "Charging Rapdily" message when using this charger though it won't take advantage of the 3A the 6p can handle. Seems to work fine.

s6 / s6 edge vs s8 fast charging

I had the s6 edge and upgraded to the s8 .
I think the fast charging was much faster in the s6 edge. I use primarily the fast wireless charger.
I used to get about 50 % in 20 - 25 mins charge but with the s8 it seems much slower ...
maybe it because of the note 7 bursting into flames .
also there's a big difference between wireless and normal ...

The S6 edge has a smaller 2600mah battery.
Therefore it charges faster.
....?

that still doesn't explain why the big differences between wireless and wired charging

Wireless charging has been, is, and will be slower than wired charging at all times. Wireless charging is inductive charging, you lose energy in the process.
The wireless charger uses the wired brick that wired charging uses, so of course it's going to be slower.

ok I always thought it was almost equal ...
thanks for the info

Quick charge or not?

So, I had to change my original Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime charger 'cause I lost it, and I went for AUKEY quick charger -> https://www.amazon.it/AUKEY-Caricabatterie-Caricatore-Samsung-iPhone/dp/B01AHYR04M, tempted by the possibility of charging my phone in less than the usual 2 hours.
However, I'm realizing now I probably did a bad move, since I'm reading many posts about how using a quick charger can reduce your battery life on the long run, some state they've used quick charge from the beginning (I mean right after they bought their phone) and they had to change battery or phone after one year and half more or less, not even able to reach more than 2 years, whereas some other claim they've always used a normal charger and their battery is as still good as the "old" times.
I'm thinking about sending the charger back and take a normal one, what's your opinion about it? Should I go for a charger with 2.0A in output?

R4P doesn't have Quick Charge compatibility in any case. It'd probably overheat like crazy even if it did.

Sure it has...

... see that circle around the thunderbolt icon? That means fast charging, when I charge the phone with a non quick charger, it only appears the thunderbolt. And it's also stated in the block screen, "Fast charging".

Baterry issues, randomly drops from 30% to 0% after plugging into charger

So ive had my s8 for almost a year now, and for the last month i started having some problems with the phone. Im not going to mention the display burn in and discoloration along the edges(I always have the brightness set to only about 50% and dark mode), the baterry has been acting up.
So one of the problems is that when the phone hits 15% and i plug it into a charger, the baterry percentage looks like a countdown, literally. I see the baterry drop from 15% to 3 in a 30 second span, in charger. But when i continue using it withou plugging it in it can last about 10 minutes with heavy use.
Also about 15 minutes ago my phone dropped to 0% after i turned the screen if on 20%, happened to me even with 45% before. I have screenshots of the battery drops.
Also i think i should mention that i have a custom rom, light rom. i had renovate ice before light rom for about 2 months, and now im using light rom for about 2 months aswell. The baterry problems started happening like 1 month ago.
And yes i have recalibrated the baterry(let it die and charge to 100% without turning it on, this is what i found. If you can give me a better tip to recalibrate it please go ahead.) Also the samsung codes on dialer dont work so i cant check my baterry info.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

bypass battery and run directly using charger

I've used this phone for a very long time now, since 2018
My current use case is using it as a hotspot and running some server and torrent apps on the phone, it works well, 24x7, connected to the charger all the time.
There are times when the battery does not charge for some reason and the phone needs to be restarted after the battery fully drains, especially when dowloading torrents.
I remember an older phone I had long ago, Lenovo Zuk Z2 plus, it used to work without the battery connected, directly connected to the charger.
I have a inverter in place so I don't really need the battery in the phone for my use case, I would like to use the phone like a computer connected to the charger 24x7, I was wondering if anyone knows if the Nokia 6.1 plus would work this way i.e without the battery connected?
I would like to save myself the trouble of opening it and disconnecting the battery just to find out.
Thanks.

anyone?

So, I opened the phone and disconnected the battery...
and...
It does not boot up without the battery connected with the phone connected to the charger.
Probably a jumper is required, anyone know how?

So, I visited a mobile repair technician, and
He tried direct soldering to the battery connector port, which didnt work
He removed the strip from the battery and connected the charging port to it and it didnt work
He finally, put it all ack together and removed the IC on the charging board, that controls the battery charging, now the battery is always charged at 100%
Just thought I'd share with the community
Ps- What he didn't try was a using a diode, but he said that wouldn't work either
