Griffin Powerjolt Dual Universal USB Micro
Price : $8.40
Customer Reviews
Like many others my HTC Evo first saw this charger as a USB charger and would not draw enough power to maintain a charge while GPS navigating and streaming music at the same time.
Following the USB charger spec I cracked open the case and soldered the two middle (USB data) pins together on both sides of the unit.
The disassembly of the case damaged it slightly and this obviously voided my warranty, but the results are as good as one could hope for. In our Nissan Altima the modded version of this adapter was able to positively charge both the Evo under full load as well as an iPad 2 at the same time.
I've posted a photo of the pins to solder for reference for those who are brave and own a soldering iron.
I purchased this item to replace what looks like an older (and unsatisfactory) version of this product: Griffin Technology Powerjolt Dual Universal (Black). This new version has many benefits over the old... It does not work it's way out of the power socket like the old version, it is smaller, and it puts out more power (plenty to charge my DroidX which requires 850mA, this puts out 1A per socket).
I have been using it for a couple of months so far, and it's performed flawlessly.
