If you’re like most drivers, you probably rely on your car’s 12v outlet to power your electronics while on the go. But what if you need to charge something other than your phone? Luckily, there are a variety of adapters and chargers available that can help connect your devices to a USB port in your car. Here are four ways to do it:

  1. Use a USB Car Charger One of the simplest and most common ways to charge your devices is by using a USB car charger. These small adapters plug into a standard 12v outlet and provide enough power to juice up most phones and tablets. Just be sure to check the compatibility list before buying, as not all chargers will work with all devices.
  2. Use an AC Adapter If you don’t have access to a USB car charger or just want an extra layer of protection against battery depletion, consider using an AC adapter instead. These larger adapters plug into an outlet and provide DC power, which can be more efficient when charging larger devices like laptops or tablets. Just be sure to check the compatibility list before buying, as not all adapters will work with all devices.
  3. Use a DC-to-USB Adapter If you have a device that supports DC charging (like the Apple Watch), you can use a DC-to-USB adapter instead of relying on your car’s outlet or AC adapter. This type of adapter plugs into your device’s charging port and converts DC power into USB voltage, which can then be used by any compatible charger or device. Just make sure that the adapter has been certified for use with your specific device; not all adapters are created equal!
  4. Use an In-Car Charger ..
