Sometimes having a great charger at the home or office just isn't enough, and you still need a reliable charging solution while you're on the go. Although there are lots of power bank options to choose from, there might be a simpler option if you're someone that is constantly commuting using a car. Car chargers have been around for quite some time, but some of the newer models out now offer surprising amounts of power in an extremely compact size.

Although USB-C ports are increasingly becoming a common sight in cars, they rarely support fast charging technologies like USB Power Delivery (USB PD), used by the best Android phones. And if you have an older vehicle, you are likely missing any type of USB port.

We’re all at the mercy of batteries. It’s a 21st-century problem that, thankfully, does have a few solutions. Chief among them on the go are car chargers. Whether you drive to work daily using your Google Pixel 8 as a media player or take the occasional leisurely scenic drive guided by your Galaxy S24’s GPS, you want your phone battery to remain fully charged. Whether it's an emergency or you just need to search for nearby restaurants, your phone can be a lifesaver.

While most cars now feature a USB-A port to connect cables to, if you've only got a USB-C cable to use you're a bit out of luck. Until cars decide to catch up to this standard, however, a car charger is one of the cheapest alternatives to keep your devices juiced up while you're on the go. There's plenty of options out there to choose from, but Amazon has an excellent deal on the Lisen 48W dual-port USB-C fast car charger that's just too good to pass on. With an on-page coupon and coupon code, you can get this reliable yet extremely affordable car charger for just $5 — an unbeatable price for a car charger that supports both PD 30W charging and QC 18W charging.

Plenty of today's best Android phones are equipped with impressive batteries, and heavyweights like the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and OnePlus 11 can last over a day on a single charge. But as part and parcel of using any smartphone seems to go, they somehow always manage to die in just your most desperate moments — like when you're driving your car, and you need your GPS app to navigate an unfamiliar area. A reliable car charger can get you out of just such a jam, and generally just keep you juiced up while you're in your vehicle, whether in the middle of a road trip or stuck in traffic. The Anker PowerDrive III Duo is ready to be your lifesaver on the road, and for a limited time, you can grab it on Amazon for just $17, or 42% off its original retail price.

The iOttie wireless car charger is $40 ($15 off) at Amazon

It's never gone below $50 before

Many newer cars have wireless charging built in, and pretty much every car nowadays has Bluetooth audio. But for those of us with older cars without those niceties, the iOttie wireless car charger, now discounted by to .99 on Amazon, is one of the only ways to play audio and charge at the same time.This wireless car charger comes with both CD and vent mounts in the box, so you can choose whichever mounting solution works better for you. It wireless charges at up to 10W for Android devices. I'm currently using a regular iOttie mount in my older BMW, and the problem is that my Pixel 4 XL can't simultaneously charge and connect to my aux cable through the USB-C port. Bluetooth solutions for my car are much more expensive, so I just ordered one of these.

Get ready to hit the road with Aukey's 30W USB-C + USB-A car charger — just $7.50 on Amazon (half off)

Dual charging with built-in protections to prevent devices from overheating

Phones these days can use up a lot of power, especially when using GPS and playing music simultaneously. That's why it's important to have a car charger you trust. Aukey is one of the most popular choices for third-party chargers, and now Amazon has a killer deal on the company's 30W fast charger that has USB-C and USB-A plugins. The Dual PD charger retails for $14.99 usually, but right now there's a coupon you can use to get it for just $7.49 — 50% off.This charger can provide rapid battery replenishments thanks to its 30W fast charging capability. That's pretty great, especially for a car charger. The USB-C port allows for easy connections with modern-day devices, and there's even an old school USB 2.4A port to make sure older connectors aren't left hungry for more power.

128GB OnePlus 7T on sale now at $499 ($100 off), comes with free car charger

It's a rare discount for this phone from the company itself

In the US, you're not going to get a OnePlus 7T Pro unless you import one from elsewhere or hang with T-Mobile and its 5G network. But you're not missing out much if you do decide to get a OnePlus 7T — in fact, you may want to get one today as OnePlus has put it on sale and has bundled a free gift alongside.

Despite how versatile today's smartphones have become, they all share the same insurmountable limitation. No matter how large or small your device is, it will eventually run out of power. To keep your phone charged up while on the go, pick up a new Anker Roav Viva Alexa-connected car charger for .40 (.59 off) with coupon on Amazon.The Anker Roav Viva features PowerIQ fast charging via dual USB ports located on the side of the device; Qualcomm's Quick Charge tech isn't supported. It will plug into most car cigarette lighter sockets, but you are advised to cross-reference the dimensions of the space inside your car with the measurements of the charger before making your purchase. Onboard Alexa support allows you to use voice commands to ask for directions, make calls, and more via Bluetooth and Android Auto.

A voice assistant isn't something most people look for in a car charger, but it turns out that the combo makes for a decent product. Anker's Roav Viva integrates Alexa into a dual-port charger, and it's currently just .99 — nearly 50% off its $49.99 MSRP — on Amazon.First released nearly two years ago, the Roav Viva was the first of its kind. On the charger side of things, it has two USB-A ports with Anker's PowerIQ tech (not Quick Charge). But for Alexa, it also has a light bar around the perimeter, a (mediocre) speaker, two microphones, and a mute button to turn off said mics. If you've been looking to add some tech to an older car, the Roav Viva is a pretty cheap way to do so, especially with this discount.

There are a ton of phones that use Qualcomm's Quick Charge standard, including all recent Galaxy S and Note devices, most Xiaomi/Redmi phones, the Zenfone 6, all of LG's recent flagships, and many more. If you have a compatible phone, and you're looking for a fast charger for your car, one model from Unitek is extremely cheap right now.

So, you've bought your OnePlus 7 Pro. What now? Is it time to accessorize? Well, if you didn't decide to on purchase, you can do so today with T-Mobile — most cables and adapters for the new phone are 25% off. And if you've decided to pick up a OnePlus 6T, you can get a Karbon Bumper Case for more than half off.

If the plugs at your house are getting overloaded, it might be time to grab some multi-port chargers. Conveniently, Aukey is offering coupon codes through Amazon that'll allow you to grab a few chargers for home and vehicle without losing too much of your post-holiday bank balance.In this latest round of deals, Aukey is offering coupon codes for two wall chargers and one car charger. See the full list below.

Anker's Roav brand may be best known for its dash cams, but its focus on gadgets for the car doesn't end there. SmartCharge, a line of enhanced functionality car chargers are also well-regarded — and at the moment, you can get the SmartCharge F0, which doubles as a Bluetooth-enabled FM transmitter (hello, smartphone audio), for as little as $13 through Amazon with the coupon code VIVAFF22. Usually, it's $19.99 on Amazon, and it remains $23.99 on the Roav site. The deal lasts until September 30th. 

A lot of cars these days come with USB ports for charging built-in, but that isn't always the case. Even when a car does come with one, often it's a laughably low-amperage port that's barely able to trickle-charge our modern phones. Thankfully Aukey just discounted a bunch of its car chargers on Amazon. With a coupon code, you can pick up a 4.8A combined two-port charger for just $3.50, or a three-port charger with USB Type-C (QC 3.0) and two USB Type-A ports (4.8A combined) for only $7.40.

Many things come to mind when I think of smart home accessories: speakers, locks, displays, TVs, or maybe wall plugs. The list continues to grow each day it seems, but here comes Anker with a car charger that, while itself not unique for the company, features Alexa as a defining feature. Don't want to fork over the money to get Assistant in your car? Here's the next best thing... kinda.I will admit, when I first heard of this, I was dubious if not outright skeptical. After one of the Anker guys demoed the Roav Viva for us at CES, I became a little more intrigued and said I would take a look at it.Overall, I found that I do not dislike the Viva, even though it is fun to mock it every now and again. It has a small amount of utility, but a car charger with Alexa is certainly more of a novelty, especially when compared to its "dumb" counterparts.

Yesterday I reviewed some of Xtorm's USB-C products and came away pleased but not convinced by the prices. It then occurred to me that a little discount could go a long way in making these prices palatable so I reached out to Xtorm and got y'all a 20% coupon code discount. If you were interested in grabbing something from the company, this makes the products more competitive against other brands.

Belkin is one of the most established mobile tech accessory companies out there, but that doesn't mean it's not privy to making mistakes. About seven months back, charger wizards Nathan K and Benson Leung, along with XDA forums member mtucker, discovered a fault with Belkin's $44.99 F7U004 27W USB-PD car charger. Unfortunately, it's taken until now for Belkin to release a revised model, and the process to get one seems rather interesting.

Aukey makes great chargers and portable battery banks, and the company's QC 3.0-compatible Dual USB car charger goes on sale somewhat frequently. Now you can get it from Amazon for just $9, once you use a promo code.There's not much to explain about this charger, except that it has two USB ports and supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0. So if you have one of the many QC-compatible devices, you'll be able to charge much faster than if you were using a standard car charger. Both ports support up to 2.4A of power output, so there isn't much (if any) slowdown when charging two devices at once.You can find the charger at the source link below. You'll need to use the promo code 3YBPE635 at checkout to get the full discount.Source: Amazon

I really wish that phone manufacturers would make up their minds and choose just one fast charging technology. Some phones use Qualcomm Quick charge, others use a 5V 3A power supply via Type-C (I won't even get started on those who do something else completely different). It's annoying that each group of devices requires a different charger to charge at its peak potential. That is, unless you have one charger that can do both. That's precisely what this AUKEY car charger has, with one port for each charging technology. It's also on sale for more than 50 percent off today when you apply a coupon code.Frequent device switchers or couples and families sporting phones using different charging technologies should be all over this deal. Head over to Amazon to pick one up for yourself if it strikes your fancy. Make sure you apply the coupon code ZW6AYBPF at checkout to chop the price in half like a deal ninja with a price slicing katana.
