Charge your phone faster in a car
In some cars, the USB-A ports (the rectangular ones that take two tries to insert into correctly) are so low-amperage that it’s worthwhile to buy a charger for the cigarette lighter and plug in there to recharge a phone or tablet. Now, manufacturers are building cars with USB-C ports, which charge at higher amperages. Depending on the devices you’re powering, if you have a new car with one of these, buy a USB-C-to-Lightning or USB-C-to-USB-C cable from Anker.
They make the strongest, most durable cables I’ve tested.
