A car charger isn’t just handy. It’s essential. Here’s why:
1. Keep your Bluetooth-connected devices running without draining your phone

3. Stay connected on long drives, even with multiple devices plugged in
4. No more fights for the only charging cable in the car

Don’t know which charger fits your car? We’ve got you
The first thing to consider when choosing a car charger is its compatibility with your car. Some vehicles have a standard 12V cigarette lighter port, others come with built-in USB ports. While some very old vintage cars or stripped-down fleet vehicles might not have any power supply option at all.
If you’re unsure what charger works with your setup, here’s a quick guide:
1. 12V socket only: Use any Cygnett car charger with that classic cigarette lighter adapter.
2. Built-in USB charging ports: Our wireless car chargers might be more ideal. Don't forget to grab a high-output USB-C cable to match.
No charging options? A Cygnett Power Bank is your best mate. It's also more versatile as you can use it while driving or even if you're outside your car.
Choosing the best charger for every drive
Different drives call for different charging solutions. Here’s how to pick:
1. Daily commute: A compact single port or dual port car charger will keep your phone topped up without taking up space
2. Rideshare or delivery driving: Wireless charging mounts are a great pick here. It keeps your phone in view for navigation while charging it at the same time—essential for drivers who rely on their phones throughout the day.
3. Family road trips: Mix it up with a wireless or magnetic in-car charger for your phone and a dual port charger for the kids’ devices. If you need more portable power supply, don't forget to pack a Power Bank too. We've got tons of options that are perfect for family road trips down the Australian coast, through the outback, or just across town.
How to charge safely on the road
Charging while driving is simple, but there are a few quick safety tips:
1. Always insert the connector fully into the charging port before hitting the road.
2. Don’t overload your cigarette lighter or USB sockets.
3. Use quality charging cables rated for your device.
4. Keep cords tucked away to avoid distractions or interference with driving controls.
5. If using a vent mount or window holder, ensure it's stable, doesn’t block your view, and allows easy access without fiddling while driving.
6. Unplug chargers when not in use to avoid battery drain or overheating.
