Fantastic Car Cigarette Port Charger – Until now I have been buying car cigarette lighter power extensions from eBay, I have always been unhappy with them, the connector was always of low… Read more

standard and very and I mean very thin, I always thought they could not be rated for any sort of power consumption.

So every now and again I have a thought and this I thought there must be more options and I want to see them before buying, so I took myself to Jaycar Electronics to check out what they had, I was so happy I did, I think I did a jig of happiness from one end of the store to the other.

I brought a PowerTech 3-way with USB power, it has 2 times 2.4A and 2 times 1A which should take care of my charging problems not to mention I can mount 3 lighter plugin charges if needed, and the power cord it is so thick I could tow my Pajero with it if needed.

One last touch that I also think great, it has a voltage meter in the plug, very informative if something is going wrong with the car electrical system.

If anybody needs extra power outputs in their car this is well worth the cost and I highly recommend it.

tips on how to select the correct position. The user manual was basic in such small print it is nearly impossible to read. (Chinglish). Guy at Jaycar was helpful but he too was baffled by the first one I got. The scrolling button is cheap and the unit is hard to position as the button has to be the windscreen side and is hard to get to. The sticky silicon flat holder is useless with a dash mat so it would have to been better sold with Velcro. All in all I wasn’t overly impressed. The shaded hood doesn’t work well on flattish dashes.
