We have one of these in each car, well made and very useful, when you consider what you have in the car these days. Sat Nav, in car camera, phone, maybe a dvd player, ipod or MP3 player etc etc.. hmmm you might need two.

A very cheap way of getting a USB charger, let alone two.

They look good, I have a 3 pin adapter which plugs into the cigar lighter and allows the kids to plug in laptops etc which is useful for long trips.

Don't leave them plugged in for long if the socket is live when the ignition is off
I have one, there is a continual drain on the battery by the USB adaptor, my cheapo Maplin test meter set to amps shows 0.05A with nothing plugged into it.
I blamed the leisure battery, the battery shop said coblers and showed my why, I tried it at home got same answer.:doh

I brought a Ring Automotive one the other day from the car boot

I found it at the bottom of a box of PC cables and bits and bobs still in it's original packaging.

It had 2 green illuminated 12v ports and a USB port and a battery level indicator :thumb2, 8Amp max as well which isn't to shabby

£2 and it was mine, got home and looked on Amazon and they are £22 new
