This is one slick little SUPER FAST vehicle car charger and comes with a durable nylon CABLE too!
My old plastic dual port USB-A charger I bought from a retail electronics store a few years ago finally broke on me - the glue holding the USB cap with the circuit board came loose and broke off, exposing the circuit board assembly, and I could not get it back together. Hence why I bought this vehicle charger. And boy I am SO GLAD I did! Read on! -- PROS: I like the fact that it lights up w/ a blue glow once you put it in the socket, indicating its got power. It fits pretty snugly too so its not going to slip out easily. I also like the fact that is very compact in size, and when not in use you can close the lighter cover (assuming your vehicle has one). I also love the little handle used to pull it out if you want to switch vehicles or sockets, so its very portable. I also like that its got a nice heavy weight to it b/c its made out of (mostly) metal, not plastic like some cigarette lighter car chargers tend to be. This charger is similar to the other one I reviewed recently, except this one comes with an ultra durable, shielded nylon, right angle 3,3 foot USB cable. A very nice touch indeed! I have two of these chargers, but I use this one w/ the 3ft cable in 2nd lighter socket on console for back seat. The best thing about this charger is its very FAST as advertised -- and my Samsung phone battery indicator reports a SUPER FAST charger on the USB-C port (indicator reports FAST charger from USB-A 3.1 QC port). Tested this against another slower USB-A 2.1 fast vehicle charger I had, as well as a USB-A 110V outlet plugin charger -- In both cases, my Samsung phone reported this charger was a VERY fast charger and had the best estimated charge times of around 35-38 mins to a full charge (from like a 20% charge). Another thing is I this charger comes standard w/ 2 yr warranty, though I think if you register it with their website after purchase using their included QR scancode, it is extended to a limited lifetime warranty. Don't quote me on that though. BUY IT and check it out for yourself! CONS: I will say the one minor negative thing worth mentioning here, although its not enough to warrant deducting a star, is that both USB-A and USB-C plugs are tight fitting, which is a good thing -- However, when you pull out either USB cable from the port, the charger itself may also slide out of the lighter socket ever so slightly -- and if it slides out far enough, it will no longer have power b/c its not making contact w/ the power source in your vehicle. So make sure its fully pushed into the lighter socket all the way when you use it again, or it will not charge your devices (you'll know b/c the blue light will not be on). One other (very minor) thing -- I believe the 90W power is shared between ports. The USB-C is capable of full 45W FAST charging and it reported fastest charge times, but MRGLAS reports the USB-A 3.1 QC port can also support 45W charging as well. However, I think if you have two USB devices plugged in at same time (on both USB A and C ports), both devices MAY not fast charge simultaneously, but you CAN still charge both at same time. I have not had it long enough to know for sure how fast both ports charge two devices together, so time will tell. Anyway, this is still a VERY nice, compact, ultra fast, dual port USB car charger that I highly recommend! Thanks again Amazon and MRGLAS! You ROCK! Read more
