Review: USB Car Adapter Charger
Robert from USB Fever sent me a USB car adapter charger and I wanted to chime in with a quick review.
As expected it’s literally plug-n-play. Works without a problem. What originally got my attention about this simple device was the two port connectivity. Easy to charge his and her cell phones, iPods or PDAs.
A nice glowing red LED shows the unit is working and charging. It would be nice to have a switching LED for when the battery is full. I did notice the USB car adapter charger has over-current protection. This means if your car outputs a spike in volts the charger will cut off power before your device gets fried.
At $14 this is a great deal and free shipping makes it that much sweeter. Took 9 working days to get from Hong Kong to So Cal so place your order and wait for about a week.
