🔌 ARECORD USB to 12V DC Adapter - USB A Male to 12V Car Cigarette Lighter Socket Female Power Converter (Max Output 0.8A 12V) Review

ok, not sure if "thickness" or "warmth" is supposed to be good, but I wanted to give 5 stars. It's such a simple idea but GREAT at the same time! I love that I can plug in so many of my things at home instead of swapping them out in the car. Seems to be really well made and had no problems with it! I can't believe I got such a great piece for so little money!

I bought it to use with Garmin Rino 600 series car power cable 010-11598-00 and 10000mah power bank to charge my Rino 650 charging in the forest. It used 3/4 of my power bank to go from 0% to full charge. It seems well built. This would be an unnecessary accessory if Garmin made the Rino 650 with a mini USB charging port like their other GPS units and the Rino 750 line. I thought it was worth $10 instead of paying an extra $150 to have it to buy the 750.

This adapter works very well for low flow products. Most electronic devices that require an additional 12V connection do not require much voltage/current, but you do need to pay close attention to the details of what you intend to use it for. I needed this for use with a high capacity USB battery/charger rated for the performance of a portable marine radio. That's wonderful. It won't charge it very well, but it will work for a long time without draining the radio. Ideal for radar detectors and…

I use this to power a 6 inch fan in my car. I have a 20W portable solar charger with two 5V DC USB outputs that I use to charge mobile phones and tablets. I also have a 12 volt 10 watt 6 inch fan to circulate the air in the car. This device allows me to run a 12V fan from a 5V USB solar charger to ventilate my car in hot weather. This significantly reduces the temperature in my car in hot weather with cracked windows. I just mount the solar panel on the dash and connect the fan to the solar…

powering my blackvue dr-750s dashcam. I use a single camera but haven't tried a dual camera yet. A problem I found when trying to update the firmware. The camera did not restart while copying the file. Most likely more than 0.8 amps will be needed to upgrade the camera, which this converter can't do. To update the firmware, I connected my camera directly to the carport. Update: I use both cameras now, they work fine in drive and park mode. This supports the ideal use case for me as I take a…

I bought a new Mazda Miata MX-5 with GPS but Masad stopped providing traffic information about two weeks after buying the car a . I really want to get traffic alerts while commuting so I wanted to use my Garmin which provides traffic alerts. However, my Miata does not have a cigarette lighter socket and the Garmin traffic receiver is housed in a power cord that needs to be plugged into the cigarette lighter socket. So I bought this cigarette lighter adapter for my GPS system. So far this has…

I have an old car that I love (and paid for). I really should fix the cigarette lighter, but not like this. Too expensive and I have a portable battery like most people in the 21st century. Plug this into your "power bank" / "external battery" (whatever you want to call it) and you can now use any wired device that requires a cigarette lighter plug. In my case it was my escort radar detector (new toy - love, love, love!). But this thing came with a cigarette stopper. WTF should I do with that…
