Aukey Dual port car charger

I have several car chargers like most people do, finding one that you like or that works well can sometimes be frustrating. I have purchased some expensive chargers and some cheap ones, some worked very well and some not so much. That all changed when I got the Aukey Dual port car charger. I love this charger, it is made of plastic, not some cheap dollar store plastic but a high grade plastic and it is built sturdy. The charger does not feel flimsy, it does not move or shift, nor does it creak when being handled or placed into your cigarette lighter port.
You will notice that when you slip in the charger into the cigarettes port the nice and firm pressure of the side springs to keep the charger in place, no accidental drop outs here, also there is no light which I like because that means there is no draw on the electrical system when the charger is not in use. There are two USB ports on the face of the charger, the top one is a Quick Charge 2.0 port + AiPower Adaptive Charging port with dedicated 2.4A output and the bottom one is a Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0.
You also get two cables in the box, one is a USB to Micro USB and the other is a USB to USB C cable. Both cables are three feet thee inches long. That should be long enough for any one, both cables are made from a nice rubber feel type plastic, and pretty thick to, that same type of plastic surrounds the USB connections as well, I found that I had a better grip on the cable with this type of material. At no time during my testing did I notice that the charger got hot, warm yes but not hot. I used three different devices to test the Aukey dual port car charger, they are a Lumia 640, Nexus 7(2013) and an iPod touch 5.
Each device charged perfectly, to be honest they charged faster with the Aukey dual port car charger than with the OEM chargers I got with the devices. The faster charge time did vary between each device but the average time was atleast 15% faster than using the OEM chargers that I got with the devices. That was pretty impressive to me. One thing that I love about the Aukey car charger is that it has built-in safeguards protect your devices against excessive current, overheating, and overcharging, and I do feel confident that no damage will occur to my devices that are plugged into it. The Aukey Dual port car charger is now my main charger that I use, all of my other chargers are sitting in a box in my basement. If you want a reliable and safe car charger get this one now you will thank yourself for doing so.
