Getting started

Remove the cap or lighter from your car's 12V socket.
Push the charger straight into the socket until it seats fully.
Turn on the ignition. Most cars only power the socket while the car is on.
Plug your charging cable into the USB-C or USB-A port and connect your phone.
Check that your phone shows it is charging.

Set it up before you drive. Do not plug in or handle your phone while driving.

Charging and compatibility

The smart chip detects each device and only sends the power it asks for.

Setup: What to expect
One phone on USB-C: Fast charging at your phone's own max speed (iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel and other USB-C PD phones)
One phone on USB-A: Fast charging for Quick Charge phones; standard speed for others
Two devices at once: 24W total, shared between both ports
Tablets, GPS, dash cams, cameras: Supported over USB-C or USB-A at the device's own speed
Vehicles: All cars and trucks with a 12V or 24V accessory socket

For the fastest charge, use the USB-C port on its own with a USB-C cable.

Part 4

Care and safety

Keep the socket clean.

Check the socket for coins, crumbs or debris before plugging in.

Do not force it.

If it will not go in, check the socket is a standard 12V/24V accessory socket and that it is clear.

Parked for days?

If your car keeps the socket powered with the engine off, unplug the charger when you park for several days.

Warm is normal, hot is not.

It can feel warm during fast charging. If it becomes too hot to touch, unplug it and let it cool.

Do not use a damaged charger. If the case is cracked or it smells of burning, stop using it and contact support. Do not open or repair it.

Keep away from children and pets. Not a toy.

Troubleshooting and FAQ

Problem: Try this
Not charging: Turn the ignition on. Push the charger fully into the socket. Try the other port and another cable. If nothing works, check your car's fuse for the accessory socket.
Charger feels loose: Push it in until it seats. Some sockets are worn or oversized; try another socket in the car if you have one.
Charging slower than expected: Use the USB-C port on its own with a USB-C cable. Both ports together share 24W.
Phone charges and stops: Usually a loose fit or a worn cable. Reseat the charger and try another cable.

Will it drain my car battery?

Most cars cut power to the socket when the engine is off, so it won't. If your socket stays powered, unplug the charger when parking for several days.

Can I charge two devices at once?

Yes. Use both ports. They share 24W between them.

Does it work in trucks?

Yes. It works with 12V and 24V sockets.
