A question about the USB port

[TarekElsakka]

Hey there

I have a HTC One which I usually charge using the USB port in the car while I am on the way to and back from university because I am a heavy user and the battery doesn't last very long. I have a question, though, would it make any difference if I buy a USB car charger that plugs into the battery port, or would it charge the same when I use the dedicated USB port that is already in the car?

I am interested in this:

Thank you very much.

Difficult to say without knowing the power specifications of the USB interface that SEAT have fitted! I'd guess the car charger might be a little quicker.

The question is how many amps it can provide? I wouldn´t buy one with atleast 2A. But beware that one the cheaper ones the amps will split on the ports so a 2A charger will be 1A/port and i guess that will just keep steady rate between charging and use.

I'm willing to bet the built in port is quicker than one of those.
