Car Chargers

Among the many accessories that motorists use when traveling somewhere, there is also a phone charger in the car, which connects to the cigarette lighter. This is a special device that cannot be used in other conditions.

With its help you can charge not only your smartphone, but also tablets, laptops and more. The source of charge in this case is the car system, the voltage of which (12V) is converted to that required by the devices to recharge.

What car chargers for phones are there?

There are two types of car phone chargers, differing in some parameters. Namely:

1. Wired: gadgets are connected to them via a USB cable. This category also includes adapters - adapters that allow you to “join” the cigarette lighter with the cord;
2. Wireless: convenient because they do not require wires, since instead the current is transmitted through a high-frequency magnetic field. But such a device can only be used for smartphones and other gadgets that support wireless charging.

If you need a universal accessory, then a wired USB car charger is suitable for this “role”. Depending on the model, you can charge one or more mobile devices from it.

Some cars have built-in USB ports - you can connect gadgets to them directly (without adapters). In addition, there is a charger for a smartphone in a car that supports fast charging technology (Quick Charge, Power Delivery). It allows you to recharge your phone much faster than standard equipment.

To choose the right charger for a car, you need to know its technical capabilities, the functions of the phone and other devices that will be connected to it, and also take into account the user’s personal preferences.

Car charger for a smartphone: what characteristics to pay attention to

When choosing a car phone charger in the Gelius online store, you can be guided by knowledge about the important characteristics of the device that affect its capabilities. The list includes:

• voltage level. It should not be much higher than the voltage of the car's electric battery. A difference of 5% is allowed, since at a higher rate the charger may overheat and fail;
• current (output). The indicator can be 1, 2, 3A and higher. If the equipment is designed to interact with one phone, then level 1A is also suitable, and if for two gadgets or more, you need to take a device with a higher output current level;
• cord features (for wired models). It is more reliable to operate a device with a twisted cable. Such a cord is less likely to break and is less susceptible to other damage;
• ports. Their number may vary, so deciding which car charger is best for a phone needs to take into account how many people will use it and how many gadgets will need to be charged at the same time;
• material. Accessories from the manufacturer can be made of both plastic and metal. The second category of products is considered more reliable in operation, but requires more careful and careful handling;
• sizes and length. The closer the cigarette lighter is to the driver, the more compact the phone charger can be in the car, and vice versa - if the “socket” is far away, then the cord should be long enough to conveniently connect the gadget.

The additional functions provided in the accessory are also important. For example:

• display (LED), which will display information about the charge level, voltage and other data;
• FM transmitter to transfer music from your phone to your car stereo;
• backlight – looks beautiful in the dark, notifies you when work has started and more.

Comfort is added by the ability to connect devices located at a large distance, for example, for passengers in the back seat (for this you need a remote unit with an extended cable).

Pros of using car chargers

Here are a few reasons why you should buy a car charger if you often use your car as a driver or passenger:

1. Compactness. The accessory performs important work without taking up much space, since its design is carefully thought out;
2. Versatility. Modern charging is suitable for almost any car model;
3. Synchronization. One car phone charger can be combined with different models of smartphones, so you don’t have to purchase a separate device for each gadget;
4. Simplicity. To get started, you just need to connect the cigarette lighter, charger and device into one “circuit”;
5. Power. Automatic charging provides the same voltage as from a wall outlet, so the process of charging the device proceeds at the same speed;
6. Safe to use. The devices have built-in voltage sensors that protect against voltage surges.

In addition, any modern car phone charger is a stylish and beautiful accessory that not only performs its main function, but also decorates the interior.
