My phone (LG 900something) takes several hours to charge when plugged into my USB port (with a cable that came with the phone). But it only takes an hour to charge using a 3rd party charger plugged into the cig lighter of my car (charger is meant for phones, but its got, like, 10 tips).
I can presume the difference is that USB is 5V whereas auto is 12V.
My question is: can the 3rd party (faster) charger damage my phone or shorten my battery life?
