Not using the cigarette socket!? The "OBD" port charger that can add USB ports is revolutionary.

In a family drive, it is necessary to secure "charging ports for the whole family," not just for yourself. However, instead of adding cables or splitters, you want to secure power from available spots. A "new power source" that does not use a cigarette socket might be just what you need.

Just plug it into the OBD port to increase the number of USB ports

MAXWIN "OBD-USB01" is a charger that draws power from the OBD port located at the driver's footwell, adding two ports: USB Type-A and USB Type-C. Type-A supports fast charging up to 18W, while Type-C supports fast charging up to 27W. It can charge two smartphones, and you can also connect a smartphone and a tablet at the same time.

When using both ports simultaneously, the output is 5V/3A. It increases the available power inside the car without modifying the cigarette socket, which is a key point. You can keep the devices you normally use and just add a charging location.

The cigarette socket is free! You can keep using the ones you have

If you're using the cigarette socket for a dash cam or something similar, you need to manage the power when you want to charge your smartphone. Since the OBD-USB01 gets power directly from the OBD port, the cigarette socket is left free.

You can increase the USB ports without having to remove the wiring you've set up or add a splitter for the socket. Using a smartphone as a navigation device while charging family devices opens up possibilities for trips where multiple devices are brought along.

Just plug it in and pull it out, so no tools are needed at all.

The installation method is simple: just insert the main unit into the OBD port at the driver's foot area and connect the USB cable you want to use. No dedicated adapters, setup apps, or tools are needed, making it easy to use even in rental cars or family vehicles.

The main unit size is approximately 24×36×46mm. By utilizing the OBD port, which is usually not frequently used, as a power source for charging, you can avoid adding devices or cables around the dashboard or center console. When not in use, both the Type-A and Type-C ports are protected by the included dust caps, effectively preventing dust and foreign objects from entering.

The aluminum alloy body allows stable use from summer to winter.

The main unit is made of highly durable aluminum alloy. The operating temperature ranges from -10 to 65℃, making it suitable for a wide range of environments, from the hot car interiors in summer to the cold seasons.

Rather than removing something to free up the cigarette socket, it increases power from the OBD port that has been overlooked until now—this seems to provide an opportunity to rethink the power environment in the car.
