Some notes when charging your phone in the car

Use a cigarette lighter charger instead of a USB port in your car

Charging the phone via the USB port in the car is a habit that many drivers have. Although convenient by design, few people know that the USB port is created for the purpose of connecting to other entertainment devices, so its current intensity is very low, difficult to meet the best charging conditions for the phone.

That's why we find it takes so long to fully charge our phones in the car.

In addition to the quality factor, you also need to pay attention to the compatibility of the cigarette lighter with the phone. The plug of the cigarette lighter charger in the car must match the plug of the device to ensure safety.

Wireless charging

The advent of wireless phone charging brings many benefits to users. Wireless phone charging with a design that also doubles as a stand and is integrated with Qi standard wireless technology, when placing the phone on the stand, electricity will be transmitted to the stand and automatically charged without needing to connect via a USB port. Wireless phone charging is both safe and convenient.

Do not charge your phone while using it

You should not charge while using, should not charge overnight or unplug the phone from the cigarette lighter when the battery is full. At the same time, you should not use all charging ports for multiple devices at the same time. If you want to charge faster, turn off all devices such as wifi, 3G, Bluetooth.

Moreover, the time to fully charge the device is longer than when charging at home. This can lead to battery deterioration, affecting the life of the phone battery. If you need to charge multiple phones in the car, you should buy an additional socket splitter and charger converter accessories for each item you want to charge.
