The Philips G2G202 Universal Car Charger comes with a cigarette outlet adapter, a USB cord, and 2 USB plugs to charge devices with a standard USB plug, mini 5 and min 4 plugs. The adapter has a blue light on it that illuminates when connected, so you will always know when the unit is operating. The average price for this charger is about $15 without the shipping if purchased online.

The reason why I bought this charger, is for when I’m going to an investigation, and need to charge small pieces of equipment that have rechargeable batteries and a USB plug. I keep this is my cars glove compartment in case I forget a charging cord. You can easily use this adapter to charge electronics. The great thing about this charger is you can either use it in a car, or with a computer that has a USB port.

The USB can be attached to a port, as well as both the Mini A and B USB plugs. However, I generally use the cord and the plug attached together. If you choose to only use the plug, it’s too short to charge a piece of equipment. It can be done, but I normally don’t. The only thing I wish had been improved on the overall product is for Philips to have included more types of plugs to attach. Taking this minor drawback into consideration, I give The Philips G2G202 Universal Car Charger 4.5 out of 5 stars.
