Fast Charger in your Car?

You probably know the feeling; you're on your way to work or driving to an appointment, and suddenly you notice that your phone battery is almost empty. Either you might have forgotten to charge it or used the phone a little too much. Running out of battery at the wrong moment can be quite frustrating. You might need your phone for navigation, calls or even music in your car. Luckily, there is a simple solution to this problem: a fast charger in your car, for example, with an FM transmitter.

Not all FM transmitters have a built-in fast charger, so be aware that you need to check this in the product specifications. An FM transmitter is not just only for charging your devices, but it also serves as a Bluetooth option to stream music from your phone to your car radio. Many FM transmitters have built-in USB ports or even slots for SD cards to play music from. However, the USB port serves as a charging port for your devices most of the time, which is one of the best functions of the product in our opinion. In this article we'll explain how it works, what you need and when having a fast charger in your car can make a real difference.

How it works

Using your fast charger in your car is not that difficult. Just plug the FM transmitter into the cigarette lighter socket, also known as the 12V socket in your car. Once you've connected the FM transmitter, it receives power directly from your car and instantly becomes ready for use.

Now most FM transmitters come with one or multiple built-in USB ports. Some of these ports might charge your device, but not all might be a fast charger. That's why it's very important to check the product specifications. The USB port that does support USB fast charging technology can charge your devices significantly faster than a normal car charger. To actually get the best charging performance, you need the right kind of car accessories.

You'll need:

An FM transmitter with a built-in fast-charging USB port.
A compatible fast charging cable
(Lightning or USB-C, for example).
A smartphone or other device that supports fast charging (most devices support this nowadays).

Not only is the fast charging port important, but also the cable you use for fast charging. Your FM transmitter might support fast charging, but an older or low-quality cable may reduce your charging speed. You need a suitable USB-C or Lightning cable for fast charging; this ensures you get the right charging performance for fast charging. Be sure to check the product specifications for a suitable cable. Our 100W USB-C cable for example, is perfect for fast charging.

The good thing about this fast charging setup is that it combines multiple functions in one device. Not only can you fast charge your devices, but you can also get wireless music streaming and hands-free calling!

When is a fast charger in your car useful?

Equipping your car with a fast charger can be very useful in more situations than you might think. For many people, commuting is one of the most common examples. But imagine this: you leave your work after a long day and realise your phone has 5% battery left. Then suddenly you remember you have a fast charger! You then quickly recharge your device before you arrive at your destination, making sure you have enough battery for the evening.

It might also be very useful before important work meetings. You might need your phone for a presentation, email or even a video call. You might've forgotten to charge it or have been using it all day, and the battery is low. Even a short drive can provide enough battery power to get your device to the battery percentage you need.

Vacations and long road trips are another great example of when this could be useful. You might use navigation apps, stream music and take photos with your phone. This can drain the battery quite quickly. Having a fast charger in your car can keep your devices powered throughout the whole trip. Even passengers can benefit by charging their devices on the road.

Having a fast charger in your car is not just for convenience; it can prevent stressful situations and keep your devices charged when you need them charged. With a simple FM transmitter setup, you can stay connected and keep your battery charged whenever you're on the road.
