Review on πŸ”Œ Ginsco Dual USB Charger Socket Power Outlet 4.2A for Car Boat Marine RV Mobile with Wire Fuse DIY Kit - Blue LED by Dave Russell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fast charging and easy installation

I installed this socket in my car and it was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. Aside from the necessary tools to cut a hole in my car's plastic console, cut and strip the wires, and check for proper connections, I didn't really need anything other than what came in the box (I have two of my own crimp connector used). to connect the wires from my 12 volt "cigarette lighter" outlet to a new USB outlet). The blue LED ring on the socket is handy for finding ports in the dark; the fact that both ports are 2.1 amp ports means it charges my smartphone quickly; the plastic nut allowed me to tighten the bushing and get it nice and tight when installing; A rubber cap would probably be fine to cover the outlet, in case the blue glow becomes annoying or distracting at night when the outlet isn't in use (and the rubber ring securing the cover to the outlet doubles as a rubber washer of sorts). make the entire assembly feel secure when installed and tightened); If the cover is not required for your application, you can remove it after installation or even cut it off with a utility knife.

Pros
  • Input: 12V, Output: 2 x 5V - 4.2A, 2.1A each
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
