Has anybody had success with any particular model of car charger for the Sonos Move? I bought one that matched the specs on the Move technical support page and it didn’t seem to work so looking for a brand or model that does.

Car Charger for Sonos Move?

WE HAVE A WINNER!
The BatPower charger works. charged the Move right away. no issues. of course this was the most expensive charger I tried but appears to be worth the money. here’s the link on Amazon:

+12Hi
I’m glad of the great news and thank you for sharing this information here in the community.
Now we have a car charger that can potentially be used by other Move owners.
We apologize for the misinformation about the Anker charger. I’ll send this as feedback
I also checked the other potential chargers, the MANINAM Metal USB C Car Charger doesn’t have the specifications for the voltage and amperage output.
So, I’m not sure about the MANINAM charger. The HyperPorts however has 45w max 12V/3A or 20V/2.25A for the PD port; this is within the requirements.
Anyway, if you need further assistance, feel free to reach out. The community is here to help.
I’m gonna stick with the working one I have (even though it’s pretty expensive by comparison) so if anyone else wants to test out the HyperPorts one, be my guest.
Needed to buy a car charger for my Dell XPS 13 (2019 edition). Hoping it worked with my new Move. Pleased to report that it does. Item is Dell Auto Air Adapter 65W USB-C. The code number is 450-AFLE.
Nice! now there are a couple of options. Hey Sonos, how about getting an approved list going or actually just selling a SONOS car charger for the Move?
I just ordered this one Lenovo 65W USB-C DC Travel Adapter | Travel Chargers | Part Number: 40AK0065WW | Lenovo US (also available at Provantage.com) and will try it out. I have had good luck with Lenovo’s laptop DC chargers before so I decided to try them again.
Hard to believe it is this difficult to get a car charger to work. I just bought and tried the Alogic 60w rapid laptop car charger and it doesn’t work even though outputs match Sonos requirements. Charges MacBook Pro no problem but not Move. Already confirmed USB-c works as it charges using apple wall charger. Will now try and find 1 of the above that has been confirmed as works here in Australia. Very disappointing from Sonos as clearly an issue with the design and can’t have been tested by them prior to launch

No luck with this one. It should have enough power per the specs. It charges my Macbook Pro 16” but not the Sonos Move. If I figure something out I’ll report back.

Does it show charging status in the app, orange light on the front, or both?
Success!! https://www.laptopplus.com.au/65W-USB-Type-C-Car-Charger.aspx?prodid=3403 for A$89 plus postage. Orange light comes on and then off after about 10s us the lightning symbol shows in the app. Charged from 56% to 65% very quickly.
Good news having read all this thread I took a punt on this one which claimed compatible specs. Thought it was worth sharing.
A$32 Inc a fast Charging cable which you might not need. Works very well and is a compact size. shows the power it's delivering. My move connects at 20v and about 1.6a. charges pretty fast ( I wasn't paying attention as I was camping )
