This charger allows you to split one car outlet into 3 outputs. The thee port extension is at the end of a 20" cord and comes with mounting tape on the back. I found this slipper to be helpful to us in two ways. First, one of our vehicles has a car port located very low and it is not very convenient to reach while you are driving. The 20 inch cord allows me to position the outlet in a more convenient location. Second, not all of our devices have USB connections. For example, we often travel with an electric cooler that has cigarette lighter plug. This splitter gives us more flexibility, we don't have to juggle what gets plugged in and what is not plugged in.
However, the first time I used it at night it became clear to me that the splitter has a major flaw. The blue LED light on top of the charger is so bright that is is blinding at night. Luckily, there is a simple solution to this problem. I covered the light with a square piece of black electrical tape. The bright light became completely invisible. The charger still has a slight blue glow so it is easy to see that it making a good connection and is on. I include a video of the charger before and after the fix.
This charger is a very simple device, it has no electronics, so the only thing that could go wrong with it if it wired poorly. To test how well it works I used Amp meter to see the level of charge I got on each port - the results are perfect.
Test results:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Port 1_______________13.68 Amp
Port 2_______________13.60 Amp
Port 3_______________13.64 Amp
The charger's port forms a very firm good connection with the car outlet. This charger gives us a lot of options for charging. Each port can take a USB charger or we can plug in a device with a car port charger (like our travel cooler). The charger comes with 20" cord, so we can move the entire cluster of plugs away from the console which is typically very crowded.
You can find it on Amazon by following this link.
