Operating Instructions
- Charging Devices:
- USB-C Port (PD 3.0): Connect your USB-C compatible device (e.g., iPhone 12/11/X, iPad, Galaxy S20/S10/S9/S8, Note 8/7, Pixel 4/3/2/XL) using a suitable USB-C to USB-C or USB-C to Lightning cable. This port supports Power Delivery 3.0 for fast charging.
- USB-A Port (QC 3.0): Connect your USB-A compatible device (e.g., Galaxy S20/S10/S9/S8, Note 8/7, Pixel 4/3/2/XL) using a suitable USB-A cable. This port supports Quick Charge 3.0 for fast charging.
The charger can charge two devices simultaneously with a combined output of up to 30W.
- Monitoring Battery Voltage:
The blue LED display continuously shows your vehicle's battery voltage. This allows you to monitor the health of your car battery in real-time. Typical voltage readings are:
- Engine Off: A healthy battery should read between 12.2V and 12.8V. If the voltage drops below 11.9V, it may indicate a weak battery requiring attention or replacement.
- Engine On: With the engine running, the voltage should typically be between 13.6V and 14.4V, indicating the alternator is charging the battery correctly.

Troubleshooting
- Charger Not Powering On / No Voltage Display:
- Ensure the charger is fully inserted into the cigarette lighter socket.
- Check if the vehicle's ignition is on, as some sockets only receive power when the ignition is active.
- Verify the vehicle's fuse for the cigarette lighter socket is not blown.
- Slow Charging:
- Ensure your charging cable is of good quality and supports fast charging protocols (PD or QC).
- Confirm your device supports Power Delivery (PD) or Quick Charge (QC) for optimal speeds.
- Charging multiple devices simultaneously may distribute power, potentially reducing individual charging speeds.
- Inaccurate Voltage Reading:
- The display has a high accuracy of +-0.2V. If you suspect a significant discrepancy, consult a professional for vehicle battery testing.
- Ensure the charger is securely connected to the socket.
