CR-200 Car mount questions.

[Steve Adams]

How does the CR 200 Charge my 1020? It says its QI, but will I need a QI back on my phone? If so, where can I get a white QI back for my phone? I need the CR 200 as it's the only way the phone will stay charged while using GPS.

Well it's not the only way. You could use any holder and microUSB charger.

Yes, I am doing that now, using a Duracell 2.1a charger and my battery still drains while using my GPS on long drives. Supposedly, the real nokia mount keeps the battery charged. Either that, the Duracell is not actually a 2.1a charger.

I'd go for the latter. If I'm not mistaken, QI charging is less effective than common charging. But I've been using my 1020 (with wireless charging cover) and my 1520 in combination with the CR-200 all the time and I've never experienced more drain than actual charging when using Nokia Drive+ or Navigon for a longer time.

Ok, What would be a reliable 2.1a charger available for the 1020. I don't want to buy another and have the same thing happen again.
