Customer Reviews

Not great, but not worthless
Two problems keep me from rating this very inexpensive car USB charger higher:

1. The charger that I received doesn't appear to be the same charger pictured on the product description. (eg., completely different molded body, glass tube fuse instead of plastic-encased fuse.)

2. It won't charge my iPhone properly. After some testing with a multimeter, it seems the output is close to 6 VDC, despite being labeled as 5 VDC +/- 5%, which would be a max. voltage of 5.25 VDC.


Overall, it's not worthless. Other less sensitive USB-powered products may be able to be charged by this.

Very handy
Pro:
-Works well with many devices
-Snugly fits in the cigarette lighter
-Light tells you if you have power
-GREAT PRICE!!!
-Although slightly bulky, it's great that it has no cord of it's own. When traveling I would be bringing my spare 3715WW Tungsten 5 cable (see my other review) anyway, so there's less tangly mess to deal with

Con:
-Slightly bulky... for it's size I think that it could have 2 connections so that 2 devices could be powered/recharged at one time

Bottom line: Highly recommended.

USB car charger
This device works as expected - no issues at all.

I do think the body is bigger than it should be, and can be reduced by 50% or more, with essentially a "stub" containing the USB port.

Still this is priced right and works.
