I want to get a car charger that plugs into the cigarette lighter for my lumia 521. My question is, can I use any car charger that has a micro usb fitting on it? Or do I have on that has the proper amps/voltage? (I always get those confused). From what I understand if you use the wrong kind of charger you can damage your phone.

Also, in general is it worth it to spend $25 or so dollars on a charger or will it work just as well as a $5 charger? If you have any suggestions of specific chargers feel free to let me know. Thanks
 
Get one with an output from around 1 A this will not blow up your phone.
Quality cost money so go for a mid-price one. The cheapest may not have a cable or a too short cable or basically bad quality. But then again if you buy a cheap one and it breaks down you can buy another one and that is still cheaper than an expensive one. Furthermore a chargers which had an output from about 2 A is more expensive than a 1 A one.
So compare and check if an USB cable is added and if this cable is long enough.
 
I've read stories about bad car charger draining the car battery causing damage. Best umto use a better brand or one from another phone.
 
The small Nokia branded car charger goes on sale quite often right here at the WC store.
It's the one I use and have been pleased.
