Product description
Flush Mount Design Reduces Looseness and Movement Unlike traditional cigarette lighter plugs that may loosen or lose contact on rough roads, this product features a fixed mounting design. It fits securely into your dashboard or console. During off-road driving, high-speed boating, or bumpy motorcycle rides, the charger stays stable for consistent charging.
Aluminum Alloy Body This charger features a machined aluminum alloy body. The metal construction helps with heat dissipation and resists corrosion and vibration. Suitable for use in boats, RVs, motorcycles, and 4×4 vehicles.
Dual QC 3.0 USB Ports This charger is equipped with two QC 3.0 (Quick Charge) ports. The ports communicate with compatible devices to provide optimized charging power. Two devices can be charged at the same time. Note: QC 3.0 fast charging requires a compatible device.
Panel-Mounted Design Keeps Original Cigarette Lighter Socket Free This charger features a panel-mounted fixation design. It installs into the dashboard and does not use the vehicle’s original cigarette lighter socket. The original socket remains available for other devices such as dash cams or air purifiers.
Easy DIY Installation Includes 60cm fused power cable and blue crimp terminals. Connect red wire to positive (+), black wire to negative (-). Polarity markings on bottom. Reverse connection prevents power delivery.

USB 3.0 dash socket
Let me first clarify something that confused me. This is not an adaptor that slides into a cigarette lighter socket. It is an instrument for the dash that replaces the cigarette lighter socket or slides into a 1.12″ drilled hole. Expect a needed installation for it to work. Wires are included, and so are loose clips for custom wiring.That said, it is a great unit for the dashboard for charging phones, tables, bluetooth speakers, and more. Each USB 3.0 port offers a standard output of 1.5A. If the device is 12 V input, that is 18W per channel. If the device is 5V input, that is 7.5W per channel. It has a moderate charge rate, it’s not a speed charger. It won’t drain a car battery for charging overnight.Perhaps the most important feature is the digital voltage meter. It reads the system voltage, be it from the battery, alternator, charger, etc. At a glance, it will show the voltage status of the electrical system, what is engaged, and tell if the ports are proper voltage for the connected devices.The unit draws no current unless it is turned on with the toggle switch on the face. So it won’t drain the battery if connected directly, bypassing the ignition switch, unless it is manually turned on with something charging. The meter is lit when the switch is on. The meter is blank when the switch is off. If left on and connected directly to the battery, the meter won’t drain a battery in reasonable condition. And unless the charging device has a large battery, it won’t dent the charge on the vehicle’s battery.One note, when the wires are clipped onto the posts, they have spring action that locks the insulated clip in place. To disengage the clip, a jewelers flathead screwdriver is needed to pry up the spring. To attach the clips for testing, don’t press them all the way on. Also, they lock one way on the posts, but not the other, which experience teaches. Check to see if they lock when making the final connection. Best not having them vibrate loose over time.If you’re electrically minded and willing to go to the trouble of an installation, these USB 3.0 ports with voltage meter is a much appreciated charging station. Recommended for the DIY inclined.

Accurate voltage while charging 2 devices.
Shows the correct voltage to within 1/10 of a volt (probably just voltage drop from wire) and charges two devices at the same time. I like the fact that they didn’t crimp connectors at both ends. I want to be able to cut the wire to the length I need. They did include the crimps for me to put on where I need. The blue light isn’t good for night and can’t be seen very clearly at night by someone with glasses. Red would have been a lot better.
