Best cigarette lighter adapter for charging your mobile?

Tony Bev · Guru

Not a techie, just going by what little techie stuff I had picked up

Most of the male giggy ends you push into the ciggy sockets, have a 10 amp fuse, built into them

Therefore the ciggy sockets must be at least a bit more than 10 amp

A normal USB phone charger would be around 5 Volts at about 3 amps

From memory a few weeks ago, Jaycar had a fast USB phone charger around 5 volts, and a bit less than 6 amps (from memory)

I suppose it depends what size fast charger you have got

My Land Rover it has 3 sockets & they each have 20 amp fuses.

But the back of the socket of one was too thin & I replaced it with an Anderson plug as I didn't need it as the original socket. Just added a plug at the other end so it simply plugged into the car's wiring.
