Introduction

In today’s fast-paced world, a reliable and efficient car charger is essential. I recently had the opportunity to thoroughly test the 12/24V 60W Fast Car Charger with Retractable Charging Cable (PD20W), and this review will share my experiences and insights.

Features

This car charger boasts several noteworthy features. The retractable cables, one for iOS devices and another for USB-C and Micro-USB, are a standout. The 31.5-inch (80cm) maximum length is incredibly convenient, allowing comfortable access to rear seats. The 180-degree rotatable plug ensures easy insertion regardless of your car’s port orientation. The inclusion of multiple charging protocols (PD, QC3.0, AFC, MTK, and FCP) ensures compatibility with a vast array of devices. The build quality feels solid and premium, suggesting durability. This 60W output promises fast charging speeds for power-hungry devices.

Performance

During testing, the charger consistently delivered fast charging speeds across various devices, including iPhones, Android phones, and tablets. The retractable cables proved their usefulness during multiple trips. The 60W output never felt strained, even while charging multiple devices simultaneously (though the charging speeds might naturally slow in this scenario). The charger remained cool to the touch even during extended use, a positive indication of its efficient heat management. I didn’t experience any instability or unexpected shutdowns during my testing period. The rotatable plug made it easy to use in my car and a friend’s, which have differently oriented charging ports.

However, I noticed slightly slower charging speeds than advertised on some older devices that don’t fully support fast charging protocols. This is to be expected, and shouldn’t be seen as a major flaw. While the build quality seemed sturdy, long-term durability will require further observation.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Fast charging speeds, retractable cables, 180-degree rotatable plug, wide device compatibility, solid build quality, efficient heat dissipation.
• Cons: Slightly slower than advertised charging on some older devices, long-term durability still needs to be confirmed.

Final Verdict

The 12/24V 60W Fast Car Charger with Retractable Charging Cable (PD20W) provides an excellent blend of speed, convenience, and compatibility. The retractable cables and rotatable plug are game-changers for everyday use. While there are minor areas for improvement, the overall performance and features outweigh the downsides. I highly recommend this charger to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient solution for charging multiple devices in their vehicle.
