Devices without this charging standard can be charged normally using the USB socket 1.
-
Insert the car charger adapter into the 12/24 V connection of your car. This is usually the vehicle socket (cigarette lighter) on the dashboard of your vehicle.
Many vehicles have a second socket by the rear seats or in the boot. 24 volt batteries are often used in lorries or on boats. -
