Quick-Charge USB Car Charger Charges 2 Mobile Devices in Your Vehicle Simultaneously
This dual USB car charger with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 technology lets you quickly and safely charge two USB-powered mobile devices at the same time. You and a passenger can connect your smartphones, tablets or MP3 players, to name just a few compatible devices, to ensure satisfactory battery charge when you reach your destination. The dual-port USB car charger is certified to UL 2089 standards for vehicle battery adapters rated 24V DC or less.
USB-C PD Charging Port Charges up to 4 Times Faster Than Conventional 5W Chargers
One of the two charging ports is powered by advanced Quick Charge 3.0 technology. Instead of charging at a preset power level, this charger adjusts to one of three possible power levels to provide as much power as your QC-compliant device’s battery can handle. Available outputs include 3.6–6.5V 3A, 6.5–9V 2A and 9–12V 1.5A.
Built-In Auto-Sensing Adjusts to Proper Power Level
The second USB port features auto-sensing technology that detects the connected device and automatically adjusts to the appropriate power level up to 5V 2.4A, perfect for fast-charging tablets and e-readers. It’s compatible with Apple, Android, Windows and Amazon devices with USB-C, Thunderbolt 3 or USB-A charging ports.
Works with the 12V DC Power Outlet in Your Vehicle
The compact dual USB car charger adapter connects to any standard 12V DC vehicle power outlet, such as the one on your dashboard. Just plug it in, and connect your devices’ USB cables for fast, convenient mobile charging. An easy-to-see LED indicates the charger is receiving power.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the make and model of your car. Some cars require the keys to be in the ignition and turned to "On" or "Acc" for the power point (cigarette lighter) to provide power to the USB charger. Other cars may continue to supply power to the cigarette lighter even if the engine is turned off. To be sure, turn your vehicle off and see if your phone or tablet continues to charge. Important: if your vehicle does supply power to the cigarette lighter when the engine is turned off, do not leave your device charging for an extended period of time to avoid draining your battery.
Need more help? Contact Technical Support
In practical terms, yes. Older cars have cigarette lighter sockets that can power your electronics. More modern cars have 12V DC Auxiliary Power Outlets that power electronics but should NOT be used with a cigarette lighter. You can use an accessory plug with either an old or new outlet.
You can read more about the standard (SAE J563_200902) governing Auxiliary Power Outlets on the Society of Automobile Engineers (SAE) website.
