Streetwize Twin USB Adaptor – Clear – 12V (SWUSB8)

Description

Genuine Streetwize · Part no. SWUSB8

Streetwize SWUSB8 is a clear twin USB adaptor that plugs into the cigarette lighter socket and turns it into two USB charging points. It is made for cars, vans and trucks, and it takes the ordinary USB leads you already use for a phone, MP3 player or similar gadget.

Good to know

• Will it work in a lorry or a 24V van? The maker lists it for 12v or 24v power sockets, but the title only says 12V, so check the vehicle's socket voltage in the handbook before relying on it there.
• Which lead do I plug in? Your own USB charging lead, the same one you would use at home; no cable comes in the pack as far as the listing shows.
• Will it fast charge a new phone? No output figure is given, so treat it as a steady charger; fast charging at 18W or 20W only happens when the charger and phone share the same standard.
• Why has it gone dead? A car's 12V socket is fused; if a charger or lighter stops working, check that fuse first.

Which one?

For a known output, the Gadjet 2-USB Car Charger, 12V (CH35) gives 5V 2.4 Amp with an LED charging light. To fast charge a recent phone, the Gadjet Dual USB Fast Charger (CH60) offers 20W Type-C PD and 18W Quick Charge 3.0.
