Default Car charger from usb port?

Anyone use one? My Note8 charges REAL slow when I use my charging wire plugged directly into the usb slot in center console.

The output power via the car's USB ports is only a fraction of that available through the 12 volt ports. Depending on what apps you might be using on your phone, the USB ports may not even provide enough charging power to maintain the phone's charge level, and, even with no apps running, charging will be very slow.

The USB port is limited to 0.5 amp charging, you will need to use a 12V car charger in the cig. lighter spot to keep up your Note8's power demands.
