AmazonFor those who need more than a couple of B ports to charge up devices on the go, the Amazon Basics 4-port Car Charger fits the bill. It’s available in red black, white, or black costs $12.
Note: This review is part of our roundup of B car chargers. Go there for details on how we tested this device.
As its name implies, this car charger is basic. It doesn’t support wer Delivery () or Qualcomm’s Quick Charge tech. Instead, you’ll get 5V/2.4A (with a max of 9.6A at one time) for each of the four ports.
A small indicator light us found on one edge of the charger, letting you know it’s plugged in has power. The light is on at all times is not an indicator if your device is charging. Due to the number of ports the resulting size of the charger, it is best used in a car charging port in a car where there’s room on either side of the port.
In testing, I found it to charge an ione XR at the advertised 5V/2.4A speed. However, with a Galaxy Note 9 xel 3 Xattached, the charger maxed out at a slower rate of 5V/1.4A. That slower result was observed when the Android device was the only item being charged, as well as when the ione XR was connected as well — so it wasn’t due to maxing out the car charger.
The Amazon Basics 4-port Car Charger provides a means to charge up to four devices at the same time. And while it may not be the fastest car charger available, it will charge multiple devices at the same time.
