Pogo OR hp charger:
I don't think this is helpful if you don't already own one... but I own an hp Touchpad usb charger and have charged my Nexus 10 with it every night for over a year. The charging speed is phenomenal and I have no battery issues.
Full disclosure, I can't compare the charging speed to the Pogo charger (I don't own one) but I can compare to regular 1.0A which is horribly painful AND 2.1A which is meh. This is definitely better than 2.1A.
Final benefit to the hp Touchpad charger is that you can charge any phone or tablet with it that uses a usb charging port. I occassionally push super-fast emergency charging to my Nexus 5 phone on the hp Touchpad charger. I've read that fast charging isn't good for a battery, but occassional use on my Nexus 5 and my former Galaxy Nexus had 0 obvious negative side effects over the last couple years.
Note: You must use the combo of wall plug + hp usb cable for the fast charging. If you use a different wall plug or non-hp usb cable the whole thing reverts to a slow charging mode. Also, I never use the hp usb cable for data transfer. Might not be reliable on non-hp devices. I just use it for charging.
TL;DR ... Pogo is probably best, but a well-tested multi-purpose option is the hp Touchpad charger.
Okay, so do you think this cable will work or should I spend a little bit more and get this HP-made charger? I don't want to spend another $10 since the barrel adapter thing I got originally still works (worked charging a iPod), only the cable is messed up. What kind of charger did you buy that made the Touchpad power up again?
While I do agree that charging takes quite a while my K1 tablet that I got around christmas charges just fine when playing games. I've found that it will typically charge much slower and with some games it might slightly lose charge for a short duration. I have my tablet on marshmallow.
Perhaps it's your charger? I'm using one from the HP touchpad, here.
Your experience is very appreciated, since that specific adapter was my first choice to power a Cubietruck with hdd.
EDIT:
After some more digging for a decent power supply, I came across a fairly thorough comparison of a bunch of wall adapters, and it would seem that HP's touchpad wall adapter would also work.

This is the one I use. its more portable and a better over all charger then the nexus one.
Edit: I have a pogo cable and I use it with this charger, it works perfectly.
I'll save you guys some time ;)
