Description
This is a multifunctional car power adapter designed for vehicles with 12V or 24V DC power systems (cars, trucks, SUVs, RVs). It plugs into the cigarette lighter / 12V/24V socket and provides several different types of outputs so you can charge multiple devices at once:
-
A 220V AC socket (to plug in small appliances or chargers that usually use mains power)
-
Multiple USB sockets (usually three) for charging phones, tablets, etc.
-
Fast‑charging capabilities (e.g. QC / PD protocols) for newer devices
-
Possibly additional ports like USB‑C or specialized ports
It is built to be compact, durable, and safe, so you can use it while driving without worrying about damage to your devices.
Typical Features
Here’s a list of likely features (some optional, depending on quality and brand):
| Feature | Function / Benefit |
|---|---|
| Input voltage | Works with 12V or 24V DC systems — makes it usable in cars and heavier vehicles (trucks etc.) |
| 220V AC Socket | Allows you to plug in small AC devices (e.g. laptop charger, small fan, etc.) when parked or when car inverter capacity allows |
| Multiple USB Ports (3 USB sockets) | Charge multiple USB devices simultaneously (phones, tablets, GPS) |
| Fast‑Charge Protocols (QC / PD / etc.) | Faster charging for modern devices; reduces charging time |
| USB‑C port | Handles newer devices; supports PD (Power Delivery) for higher wattage (if included) |
| Smart IC / auto‑detect | The charger detects what device is plugged in and supplies the optimal voltage/current |
| Over‑current / Over‑voltage protection | Protects both the adapter and your devices from surges, overheating |
| Short‑circuit protection | Safety in case of wiring or device faults |
| LED Indicator | Lets you see whether power is active / device is charging / socket enabled |
| On/Off switch | To turn off output (saving power) when not in use, reducing drain on car battery |
| Fuse / Safety‑certification | Includes fuse (often 10A) and safety standards (CE, RoHS etc.) to prevent damage in case of overload |
