I love this, it only arrived a few days ago and took it on its maiden voyage yesterday, brilliant can either charge phone or kindle (or both if you have two leads!) whilst in the car - always a bonus especially if you are on a long journey and want to use either device.

Not This One, A Much Cheaper Alternative, By AmazonBasics
28 Nov 2011
By Amazonian Consumer
- Published on Amazon.com
Kensington makes excellent products. This Powerbolt Duo car charger is no exception. This Kensington car charger is good for charging the Apple iPad and Amazon Kindle Fire, and it comes with a micro USB cable for the Fire, but it costs $30.
The Kindle Fire requires an electrical charging current of 1.8 A (1800 mA), so only chargers meeting current output of more than 1.8 A can charge it in reasonable amount of time. Many chargers on the market have output current of 2.1A. Make sure you see this specification on the product page. Kensington, Skiva, and Scosche all make car chargers that meet the 2.1 A requirement but are much more expensive.
The least expensive is by AmazonBasics, under $10.
AmazonBasics 2-Port USB Car Charger with 2.1 Amp Output (Black)
You also need a micro USB cable (for charging and data transfer):
AmazonBasics USB Cable - 2.0 A Male to Micro B (6 Feet / 1.8 Meters), $6
This is the kind of cable (USB 2.0 on one end and micro USB on the other) that some reviewers were saying that Amazon should have included in the Fire box. It is used for charging if the connection is between the Fire and a USB charger, or copying files from your computer to the Fire and vice versa, if the connection is between the Fire and your computer.
This charger has two USB ports that share the 2100 mA output, so if you want fast charging, use just one port to charge the Fire/iPad, and leave the other not used by anything else.
This combo costs $16, about half the cost of the Kensignton.
I would only recommend the Kensington if you want to charge the Fire or iPad AND another USB device that consumes less than 1.0 A SIMULTANEOUSLY and don't want to sacrifice charging time. Physically, the Kensington is smaller and also well-made.

It does the job!

The other two reviews don't say much of anything other than negative stuff so I am going to tell you about the good stuff. I ordered this for my first Kindle. No it is not black like the picture or at least mine is not. Mine is white. It does work nicely when I have been in a crunch to charge my Kindle while traveling in the car. No it's nothing fancy that needs to cost a ton of money! Amazon has provided a good product for charging the Kindle. I hope this helps anyone they may want to purchase. It really does work!

On the go charger for my Kindle Fire

Love this charger. Now I don't have to worry about not being able to charge up my Kindle Fire. This fits any standard car plug (former cigarettte lighter) and it even piggy backs a similar product since the plug has two ports.
