I have purchased a couple of car chargers that go dead after about a year. Has anyone owned this and it still works after a few years?

I have had similar issue in the past. The difference I find in the Apple Certified Lightning charger is 1) it is built much stronger, meaning wires are less likely to be pulled out or break. 2) there is another USB slot, so you can charge another device. I've purchased this for my wife. She loves it! I cannot speak to years, but I find that the extra cost is way worth it. Good Luck

I do not know why it will not charge. I own 3 and they all charge. It may be deffective. Is it showing low charge? Is the outlet you are using a good one. Did you try the car charger?

I am told that there have been problems with the small coaxial charger connector breaking loose internally. I have had no such problem. Be gentle.

I've had no problems at all with my laptop car charger. It works perfectly well and provides a quick, lasting charge too! Recharging when needed is not an issue.

Dated message, but pertinent. Charger (and eee 1000HE) worked fine for over a year, then charger started to die. Blue power light would only come on if I held the power supply in the correct position. This got harder and harder to do over time - to find that "right" position. Just found a replacement charger on line for $20 delivered. Try: www.chargerbuy.com

I've ordered so many chargers and some worked, some worked for a while, and some never worked. I don't remember about this particular one. Sorry. Perhaps the seller can help you.

I have had no issues with my unit. I use it daily for phone calls and listening to music through my phone. I have forgotten to switch it off when getting out of the car, leaving it on overnight numerous times, and it still maintains plenty of charge. I haven't actually tried playing music from the radio in the car so I can't address that. I've had this for several months now and honestly have only plugged it into the charger 3 or 4 times. I'm super impressed with this product. Sounds like you received a bad one and need to exchange it for a new one.

Sorry for the very late response, but I have been using my original battery charger and I have not had any issues over the past few months.

I currently use this charger and it works fine.One caveat is that the controller(2002 Club) I have over timedegraded to cause the charger to not work. I ordered a secondcharger and when I received it had no output when hooked tothe cart. After some surfingand a call to the MFR I figured it was the cart controller sensingthe charge voltage and shutting off the charger. After I bypassed thecart controller so the charger fed the batteries directly all was fine.So now I have have two chargers........they work fine.By the way the MFR was very nice to discuss my issue withme and was very satisfied. Good luck. I currently use this charger and it works fine.One caveat is that the controller(2002 Club) I have over timedegraded to cause the charger to not work.

You know what MiKayla? I threw a couple of mine away. When they are under a dollar each, I expected at least one or two out of the ten to not function. A couple more have since died. But you know what, I got all of them for the cost of one regular length charger. So I figure if there's at least one that is usable a year or two later, I did good. You may not agree, and I don't know how to do the warranty information. Good luck!

No, It dies very fast too. I wouldn't get this portable charger if I was you

I've had mine plugged in for about 4 years now with no problems. It shuts down when you turn off your car. The only time I've had mine out was to check another vehicle for codes.

In my experience, yes ... I'm using a charger I've had for quite number of years and itq's working just great.

My experience is get the least expensive one. They do about the same thing-I have had multiple versions of the original, but all my chargers fit it. Otherwise I would just get a new one.

I have had my for 18 months now, I find it hold a charge well and must recharge every two-three months to keep a hot charge. I used it to jump start my Dodge ram 2500 truck to my riding mower. The bad -- the cables do like stay warp around the box all the time.

Please be more specific when asking a question... I have no idea what you are asking about, as do most of people who give you answers (see the range of answers). I had two of these chargers and both of them are broken at this moment. I went back to more expensive, but also more reliable original Garmin chargers.

No so far mine is still working have had some batteries that have failed early and the Chargers are cheaply made.
