Accessories Desire In car Charger..... Again

I know there are a lot of threads, have tried to look through a lot of them but couldnt find what I needed.
Does anyone know of anyone who has used this.....

Dual USB In-Vehicle Charger 4000ma - Charge in Vehicle – iPad Charger – Proporta

I like the look of it, as I have a Desire, and the wife is looking at getting similar (so 2 USB charge point would be useful).

Been reading up about the lack of pwer on generic chargers etc when using the Bluetooth, GPs etc etc etc on the go.............

Any ideas would be helpful....


Link keeps adding some weird stuff onto the address after a while, so heres a standard copy and paste bit

From the look at the data sheet, the dual charger is ok.
But note, with a generic charger, the Desire needs a coded microUSB connector for charging with "AC" (=1000mA).
With a normal USB cable on the generic charger, the Desire charges only with "USB" (=500mA). That is not enough for charging the phone with a running GPS navigation app like Navigon or CoPilot.

The original HTC car charger (cc200) has this coded microUSB connector with its (separate) cable.
So with two of this cables and the Proporta dual charger, you could charge simultaneously two Desires with "AC" charge :)

EDIT: For myself, I use a small generic 1200mA car carger (fits under the cover of the ashtray) with the cc200 cable. Works fine with my Desire HD !
