Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £21.74 ex-VAT, this StarTech dual USB car charger is the kind of sensible, forget-it-in-the-car accessory that’s hard to get wrong. Two ports is genuinely useful day-to-day (one person charging while the other top-ups), and the coiled Lightning lead means less dangling mess and less chance of you yanking the cable out when you’re half-asleep in the passenger seat. If you’re an iPhone household in a fleet of cars, service vans, or staff pool cars, it’s a decent “always there” option without paying premium-brand pricing.

That said, I wouldn’t overthink it as a “tablet charger” solution. The total output is fine for typical phone charging, but if you’re trying to fast-charge iPads/tablets repeatedly, you may feel it’s underpowered versus better-specced options. Also, it’s Lightning-only—if your org has any newer devices or you’re standardising on USB‑C, this becomes dead weight fast. Buy it if Lightning devices are your reality and you want reliable, low-fuss in-car charging for two people; skip it if you need modern fast-charging or a future-proof cable/connector strategy.
