Dual USB car charger for phones and tablets

This white adapter plugs into a 12 V DC lighter socket and provides two standard USB ports. It delivers a combined 3.1 A at 5 V, split as one 2.1 A port and one 1.0 A port. The unit is new and compatible with universal USB-powered devices.

Suits drivers who need to charge a phone

The 2.1 A port handles tablets and other high-draw devices while the 1.0 A port covers standard phones. Buyers whose devices require USB-C Power Delivery or higher amperage than 2.1 A per port should look at a different charger.

3.1 A total output split across two USB-A ports

The charger supplies a maximum of 2.1 A from one port and 1.0 A from the other simultaneously. If a single device needs more than 2.1 A, this model cannot meet that requirement.
