Product Information
Full details
The FX Powabud Twin Socket USB Car Charger is an ideal accessory for daily commuters and road trippers who need to keep multiple mobile devices powered on the go. This compact, gold-finished adapter provides a reliable 2.1A dual-port output to charge smartphones, tablets, and dash cams simultaneously without taking up significant dashboard space. While it offers excellent universal compatibility for most 12V and 24V vehicles, users should note that the 2.1A total output is shared between ports, which may result in slower charging speeds if two high-drain devices are connected at the exact same time.

Troubleshooting
Device is not charging when plugged in
Verify that the charger is firmly seated in the cigarette lighter socket and that your USB cable is fully functional.
Charger feels loose in the socket
Check your vehicle's lighter socket for debris or residue; clean it gently with a non-conductive tool if necessary.
Charging speed is slower than expected
If two devices are connected, the power is split; try charging only one device to utilize the full power potential.
