As the name suggests, this adapter plugs into your car’s cigarette lighter, converting its 12V electric power into 240V mains power. The two mains sockets are rated at 150W continuous (175W peak), allowing you to charge modern laptops, games consoles or even televisions without worries.
Let’s take a look at some common electronics to see how much power they draw.
- A 24-inch TV / monitor from Samsung draws 30W*
- An Xbox One S draws ~80W while gaming*
- A PlayStation 4 Slim draws ~90W while gaming*
- A 13-inch MacBook Pro comes with a 61W charger*
That means you could have a TV and a games console running in the back of your car, or a couple of MacBooks being charged at once. Of course, you’ll want to do your research ahead of time, and make sure that your electronics combination of choice comes out below 150W!
One final important note is that the system supports 12V inputs. If you’re instead driving a minibus or truck, your electrical system may output 24V — check if you’re not sure!
The Duracell in-car adapter also comes with two USB ports, which provide 2.4A of charging power each. That’s enough to charge a smartphone and most tablets at full power, ensuring your digital gadgets exit the vehicle with more power than they started with. This is also good for charging small gadgets like sat-navs, Bluetooth headphones, speakers and hands-free units.
The adapter has a built-in fan for quiet cooling, preventing it from overheating and ensuring everything is safe. The Duracell adapter also comes with a three year warranty, so should any fault develop you’ll be able to get it repaired or replaced.
