need more power plugs in your car this
0:02
is a really cool solution leave Taylor
0:12
here and I'm in my car cuz I'm looking
0:14
at different ways to charge my devices
0:17
while I'm driving specifically I'm
0:19
looking at this this is the cheek car
0:22
cup charger and as you can see it's
0:25
shaped to fit in a little cup holder but
0:27
it's a pretty slick device you plug it
0:30
in to your 12-volt known as the
0:33
cigarette lighter although do people
0:35
still smoke in their cars yeah probably
0:36
some people do you plug it into the 12
0:39
volt charger and then you get two
0:42
12-volt ports and you get two USB ports
0:45
and the whole thing fits neatly into
0:48
your little cup holder now I can plug
0:50
something in and I'm good to go
0:53
so I can plug in two USB devices and two
0:57
of the 12-volt actually 12 or 24 volt on
1:00
a modern car two of those two so that
1:03
gives me my radar detector that gives me
1:06
my phone charger that gives me you know
1:09
whatever other devices if someone else
1:11
wants to charge their phone
1:12
simultaneously we are good to go with
1:14
this now it has some neat little tricks
1:16
up its sleeves so let me pull it back
1:18
out and show you first off let's start
1:20
the car and when I start the car you can
1:25
see hopefully here it actually shows the
1:28
voltage coming into the device so that's
1:32
one easy way for you to see oh looks
1:34
like my battery's a bit low in fact the
1:37
voltage monitor shows you if it's under
1:39
12 volts then you have a problem with
1:41
your charge if it's 12 point something
1:44
then you have a typical idling car 13 to
1:47
14 volts is typical for a running car
1:50
and it's interesting I'm seeing 14 point
1:52
4 volts so I guess this particular
1:54
Nissan Pathfinder is rocking it with the
1:57
voltage it's all good though
1:59
because among other things this actually
2:01
has a built in 7 amp fuse so if I was
2:04
getting just crazy too much power then
2:06
that would be something that would be
2:07
dealt with let's turn the car off so
2:09
it's a little quieter so as I said it
2:14
two of the 12 or 24 volt maximum of 80
2:17
watts you don't want to exceed that but
2:19
80 watts is pretty good each of them has
2:22
an on/off switch you can see right there
2:24
those little switches and then the USB
2:28
that's a 3.1 amp total so you plug just
2:32
one device in you're going to get a
2:34
quick charge out of that which is nice
2:35
and there's not much else to tell you
2:38
about it it's about three inches across
2:40
about three and a half inches high and
2:42
it's really light and obviously it's
2:45
very convenient to just leave it sitting
2:47
in your cup holder and other than that
2:50
there's only two two things left to talk
2:52
about one click the subscribe button so
2:55
you can subscribe awesome now the other
2:57
thing is the price and turns out that
3:00
originally these guys priced this thing
3:02
way up in the stratosphere of $49.99 but
3:06
last time I checked amazon.com it was
3:08
actually down to 1699 so for 1699 it's a
3:12
pretty nice design for a power splitter
3:15
that gives you a lot more capabilities
3:16
particularly in an older car in a more
3:19
modern car like this 2017 Pathfinder I
3:22
have two USB I mean to 12 amps and I
3:27
have USB plugs hidden in here and stuff
3:29
but the older the car the less plugs
3:32
there aren't this sort of device can be
3:34
a real rock star when you are just tired
3:36
of not being able to plug everything at
3:38
the same time so this is the cheek car
3:41
cup charger and this is Dave Taylor and
3:44
I'm telling you it's worth checking out
3:45
if you got an older car and I'll catch
