Fosmon? 12V, 24V Triple Socket USB Auto Car Cigarette Charger Adapter + USB Outlet Plug in (Black) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Several reviews claim this device to be under powered to what it claims. Some claim a USB port should provide 1 amp and most USB devices need this much power. None of these claims are true, 500mA is a full power USB port by the both USB 1.x and 2.0 specifications. In the USB 3.0 specifications the power output was raised to 900mA so truthfully no USB port is guaranteed to provide 1 amp. Since 90+ percent of the devices out there are USB 1.x or 2.0 devices, to claim most USB devices expect 1 amp is also completely untrue.
Yes, it is a good point to make that some newer devices will not run on anything but USB 3.0 ports and therefore will have problems on this device. However, most of these devices clearly state the need for a USB 3.0 port in their documentation and this device does not claim to offer USB 3.0 level of power. Overall the device seems to be well constructed and does provide full USB 1.x or 2.0 power levels. And if you need USB 3.0 power, there are some cigarette socket to USB adapters that will do this and those will work on the other outlets on this device. The seller probably should add the current limit on the USB port to the description of the device though.
