Car Phone Chargers
Car phone charger — what you need to know
A factory USB socket in a car usually gives 5 W: enough to stop the battery dropping, not enough to charge while navigation runs. A charger in the lighter socket fixes that for a few euros. At Xenoni.me car chargers are grouped by power and by number and type of ports.
Which power to choose
- USB-A 12–18 W (QC 3.0) — for older phones and the cable you already have.
- USB-C 20–30 W PD — iPhone, Samsung, Xiaomi: charges fast even with navigation on. Our recommendation for most drivers.
- Dual (USB-C + USB-A, 30–45 W) — driver and passenger at once, or phone + dash cam.
- 65 W and up — charges a laptop in the car (USB-C PD); for field work and travel.
12 V and 24 V
All our car chargers work on both 12 V (car) and 24 V (truck, bus). The charger has overvoltage and short-circuit protection — important in older vehicles with unstable voltage at start-up.
Practical tips
A charger with an LED indicator shows it has power — in some cars the lighter socket only works with the key turned. If the phone charges slowly despite a strong charger, the cable is to blame: take a USB-C cable rated 3 A. For a phone on a mount, a short 25–50 cm cable does not dangle across the cabin. Alongside the charger see phone holders and FM transmitters, which also have a charging USB. Delivery in 24–48 h, cash on delivery.
Frequently asked questions
Does the car charger work on 24 V in a truck?
Yes — all our car chargers run on 12–24 V, so in a car, truck, bus or camper. They have overvoltage protection for engine start.
Why does the phone charge slowly in the car?
Either the charger is a 5–10 W USB-A one, or the cable is weak. Take a 20 W+ USB-C PD charger and a USB-C cable rated 3 A. Navigation with the screen on uses 5–8 W by itself, so a weak charger barely holds the percentage.
Can a car charger drain the battery?
Not while the engine runs. With the car off, most vehicles cut power to the lighter socket; where it stays live, a charger with no phone draws a negligible amount (under 0.1 W). A phone left charging overnight in a parked car can drain a weak battery.
How do I pay and how long does delivery take?
Payment is cash on delivery; courier delivery across Montenegro takes 24–48 h from confirmation. You can also collect in one of the 7 Xenoni.me stores.
