Yubi Power USB Car Charger with 12V Cigarette Lighter Socket
I use a lot of gadgets in the car, but the lack of charging outlets usually prevents me from using more than a couple at the time. This charge splitter is a great answer to those dilemmas: it allows me to connect a USB-charging device while leaving the cigarette lighter socket available for another use. Granted, most modern devices today use USB charging to begin with, so a dual USB charger for the cigarette socket would more or less serve the same purpose in those cases. However, there are enough legacy devices out there that will only work when directly plugged in the cigarette lighter, that this charger really comes in handy.
The charger is reasonably well built. It plugs in securely into the lighter socket. The small blue LED light around the USB plug can be handy at night, but it can also be a detraction – those small lights are VERY bright for their size.
I have tested this charger while simultaneously using an iPhone and a radar detector. It performed as advertised with both units. I am pretty happy with its function and would recommend it to anyone looking for a similar charger.
