First of all, I'd like to say I'm frustrated--I paid full price for mine. Hence, when I saw the price, I had to do a triple take to make sure I wasn't looking at a generic version.If you're getting a car charger, make sure to get a Motorola OEM version. I talked to a couple people at Nextel and they said the generic ones are dangerous. Quoting the Cincinnati phone tech, &quot;I've seen hundred's and hundreds of phones fried from the generic chargers. The fuses are screwy and the wrong voltage hits your phones. I even saw a lady stick her phone between the seats of her Caddy using a generic one and it caught the seats on fire and melted the phone.&quot;Another tidbit I learned from the tech. Only charge your battery in the car when it's down to 1 bar. Try not to make a habit of throwing it on the charger every second you're in the car. The specs on the Lithium Ion batteries from Motorola are about 500 recharges. Then the charge it holds starts declining. When you charge your phone powered off, it uses 1 recharge that night. When you charge it powered on, it scrolls through the charge cycles and shortens the life of your battery.Best of all, Nextel warranties this charger. Take it in if you do something stupid and break it--they'll give you another one no questions asked.Lastly, the cigarette lighter OEM is a 'rapid charger' using DC current. It will charge your phone from completely dead to full charge in 45 minutes if you have the phone turned off. Just thought you'd like to know.
