 Confirmed: gives Galaxy Nexus "AC" power from Power Jolt car charger...Jan 09, 2012
By Nathaniel Allen
My title is a little misleading unless you're familiar with the whole charging scenario surrounding Samsung's Galaxy Nexus and probably other Android handsets.
Many USB port car chargers, including the Griffin Powerjolt Dual Universal USB Micro, claim they are capable of putting out 1 Amp of power on each port. But when connected using a standard USB cable, the phone only allows itself to be charged at the slower USB charging rate of less than ½ Amp, that in many instances cannot keep up with the current demands of in-car navigation -- not to mention streaming audio and making phone calls. I've ended up at my destination with a nearly depleted battery.
With this cable, my Powerjolt can charge my Nexus somewhere on the order of 10% per half hour WITH Navigation and Pandora apps running.
This cable is used for charging only. It shorts the two data connections together (rendering them useless), so the Nexus only sees it as a power connection, and will accept the higher current of the charging source (1 Amp Powerjolt charger, in my case). This is confirmed on the Nexus About > Status screen (see my attached image on the main product page), where it indicates the phone is connected to a high-current AC power adapter.
With a standard cable, the screen reads Charging (USB), instead of Charging (AC) as shown in the screen shot I posted with the product images.
I have yet to connect a meter across the cord to check actual current (don't want to cut my cord open to measure this on my multimeter).
The cord is about 4 feet in length, and is very thin and stiff in comparison to just about every other USB cable I own. I don't necessarily object to the thinness of it, but the kinks haven't worked themselves out over time, so it kind of sticks out in 10 different directions as it climbs from my 12v adapter to the phone mounted on my dash.
Big shout out to the Galaxy Nexus crowd at AndroidForums who steered me to this cable.

Perfect for MifiApr 12, 2011
By David G
Perfect for the AT&T Mifi, which has the stupid annoying design that will shut off wireless when a data cable is connected. Really--who comes up with these brain dead ideas? This is perfect because I can power the Mifi from the USB port all day long.

PERFECT for full-speed chargingMay 02, 2011
By Mark Rahmani
"diomark"
Many new phones only trickle charge with a standard usb cable. This cable allows it to charge at the full ~800ma/1amp charge.. (instead of 500ma..).
Perfect solution for charging on the go. I've bought 4 of these.
(note though - this is a CHARGE ONLY cable... don't expect it to work for data..)

Charge MiFi While Using It!Mar 19, 2012
By Boss B
I bought this cable hoping that it would allow me to charge my Verizon 4510L "Jetpack" mobile hotspot while actively connected to the Internet. It does!

AWESOME Charge Only CablesFeb 25, 2012
By Richard Garnett
These are amazing cables and allow my Galaxy Nexus to pull the maximum juice from non-OEM chargers. The phone recognizes these are Charging (AC). Charger manufacturers should short the D+/- to inform the phone it is an AC charger, but even the nicest aren't - shame on them, but this cable shorts the data lines so the phone knows it is an AC charger. This also means I have to carry two cables if I want data, but that has nothing against this awesome cable.
