Since everyone nowadays seems to have a USB powered device like an iPhone or Blackberry or Droid or iPod, being away from an accessible source of power is a big pain in the butt. As many of us spend time in our cars, it’s only natural to have some way to easily charge your devices there. Many new cars already have USB ports or other types of power supplies, but what about those of us that are in older vehicles?
Well, iLuv has a few options available for those types of situations: the iLuv Micro-sized USB Car Charger and the iLuv Dual USB Car Charger are two of these.
First a little information about the Micro-sized charger. This is the one that I’m actually using in my car currently.
It is quite small and fits almost flush within a cigarette or power adapter within your car. When it is plugged in and powered, a small blue light is shown. It is not a distractive blue but it is good to have so that you know that the power adapter is fully plugged into the socket. It handles 12-24V DC input and will output 5V, 500mA DC. It has a power consumption of 3.3W and weighs about 0.3 oz (not that weight really matters). Remember, you do have to supply your own USB cable.
