Test of the auto charger with Syncwire 4.8 A lightning cable: MFi and lifetime warranty (promo code -10%)

Use
of an iPhone in the car requires excellent support, it is essential for
security, we were able to seein this
folder dedicated to iPhone car accessories. But the use of a
GPS is energy intensive, so you also need a source
power supply. For cars that do not have this support
standard, it is useful to be able to benefit from a compact, efficient and
adapted to the iPhone!

With its Lightning cable and additional USB socket, this is what
offers the accessory manufacturer Syncwire, which we have already been able to test
the cables, but alsothe
interior charger 4 USB socketsand whose products are guaranteed to
vie.

So it's this specific iPhone charger,MFi certified by
Apple(guarantee of future compatibility) and available in two colors
(white or black) which passed through our hands. Here, in
images, the test result:

Premier contact

As usual at Syncwire, the packaging is reduced to be compact,
but the whole is well protected.

Inside we find the card which reminds us of the lifetime guarantee, as well as
the charger with soundcable similar to those of handsets
telephone: we will see that this is of interest.

The whole thing is made of plastic, it seems sturdy and thick, not
of (visual) concern about the manufacturing quality.

We note and this is also the interest of this charger, that oneprise
Additional standard USB allows you to plug in another device. Pour
This means that any USB cable can be used to power
an Android tablet, another smartphone or another iPhone/iPad.

Utilisation

Installation is easy, just plug the whole thing into the
cigarette lighter socket, and then plug the iPhone into the socket cable
lightning.

The charger fits perfectly into the cigarette lighter socket, and the whole
powers the iPhone without problems, the cable can also be used with a
iPad. We note that the lightning socket is very compact, which ensures it
compatibility probably with the vast majority of hulls and
iPhone protections on the market. It even passed, barely but it passed,
on a Lifeproof iPhone 6 plus case:that
seen here.

We note that a smallbright LED displayis planned for
show that the assembly is under tension. This one has the good idea not to
be too bright, it remains discreet in the passenger compartment at night, but not very visible
in full sun.

Day view:

And at night:

Both sockets have a high output intensity, up to
up to 2.4 A each. In practice the iPhone does not need as much, but this
might be useful for an iPad. We could not precisely measure the intensities,
but checking that connecting an iPad in parallel with an iPhone does not
did not reduce the charging intensity could be carried out.

In practice, thecord integrated into the charger, which wraps
like that of a telephone handset, proves to be a real comfort both in
use only during storage. Heavoids having a long cable which
would wander on the dashboardor along the lever
speed: this contributes to safety. While the storage in the
glove box is made much easier by avoiding knots and other hodgepodges
of cables. Be careful, it should be noted that this type of cable has a disadvantage
when the cigarette lighter socket is far from the iPhone holder: it is too tight
can be unplugged (we tried, it seems that it is suitable until
environ 80 cm).

conclusion

Ultimately, used numerous times and over a long period, this
cigarette lighter charger demonstrated at onceits practical aspect with the
integrated cable and easy to store, but also its ability to deliver
enough intensity to use the iPhone with applications too
greedy than GPS, while recharging it. Practical for owners
iPhone and iPad, it can also accept other accessories. Only one aspect
will not satisfy all audiences, those who board three to four
machines in the car. But for the rest of the uses, it is perfect and
offered at a pricevery reasonable 13 euros(slightly
cheaper with iPhon.fr, see below) especially when we integrate the fact
that hehas its own lightning cable!
