I appreciate that wonderful advice!

It took me a while to FIND what you were talking about on my
T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 with Android 4.3 installed.

I found the "type" of charging when I went to Android 4.3:
Settings-More-About Device-Status

A. When hooked to a PC USB port, it said "Charging (USB)".
B. When hooked to a wall USB port, it said "Charging (AC)".
C. Tomorrow I will test what it says in the car & report back!
