Includes a USB-A port and a USB-C port with Power Delivery 3.0 and 30W power output. It's also compatible with Quick Charge 3.0 for an even faster charge on compatible devices. Distributes power based on how you use the device.

Aukey's car charger uses a system called Dynamic Detect. This feature helps the charger know what is and isn't plugged into it and how it should distribute the power it is capable of. The charger has two ports, one USB-A and one USB-C. It's also capable of POwer Delivery 3.0, which can optimize 30W power output for a number of devices like the iPhone 12 or Samsung Galaxy phones. It also has Quick Charge 3.0, which provides 18W power and charges four times faster if the device you're charging is compatible with that technology. Dynamic Detect means you don't have to indicate any of this compatibility to the charger. It will just know when you plug in.

You can plug this charger into just about any 12V/24V socket in an automobile. It will also work with pretty much any device that charges via USB, and that includes bigger devices like the Nintendo Switch.

The built-in safeguards will protect your new charger, your car, and whatever is plugged in. Don't worry about things like short circuiting, overcharging, over heating, or over voltage. You'll get exactly what you need without any danger.
