How to Turn Your Car Lighter Into a USB Port

by Peter Mychalcewycz on April 22, 2009 at 09:02 AM


If your car lighter is just a wasted hole in your dashboard console, you may want to check out this new gadget from Belkin.

The Micro Auto Charger essentially turns your car lighter into a mobile USB port, allowing you to charge all kinds of gadgets with ease. The design is as simple as it gets, with one open port lying flush against the dash. We love this idea, since it means we could leave most (if not all) of our clunky chargers at home. The simplicity and convenience of this gadget really piqued our interest.

We would be even more interested if more than a couple of us actually owned a car. [From: Belkin, via Wired]
