Half price reduced from £12 down to £6 seems like a good deal to me and good reviews.

My car phone charger pumps out double the usb power. Terrible at 2.1 shared

Can you get your car into the front room?

What a pointless comment. You know full well that there's better usb plugs out there.

Take the USB plug out.

It's still a transformer you can't turn off, what is the draw like with nothing plugged in?

How fast will 5V charge my phone? I know it also depends on the cable etc but how does 5V compare to say a charger that comes with an iPhone? Some chargers seem faster than others

All chargers are 5V. 2.1A is not bad as long as you only have 1 thing plugged in.

Fast chargers are 9 volts. Useful to note this plug will not fast charge a modern phone or most new phone models.

Fast chargers actually support dynamic voltages from 3.2V-20V if QC3 (or either 5V/9V/12V for QC2), it's not really a fixed voltage but rather the device can request the appropriate voltage depending on what's ideal for its current charge level

Some chargers support 7V and 12V charging. For example, my Lenovo P2's Rapid charger pumps out 2A @ 12V, to charge the 5100mAH battery.

Correct.

its not just volts its amps. it depends on the phones volts and amps, some might say this socket is under powered but 2.1a 5v is perfect for charging many tablets and completely spot on for my phone, you are always better off using the correct volts and amps that way you don't damage your battery by charging quicker than it can safely handle.
since you haven't said what iPhone you have no one will be able to tell you but the easy way to check is look at your iphones original charger and and check volts and amps output.
also be aware that if using both usb sockets then they share the power so you get half per socket.

It’s the shared 2.1A you should look at. A single device that’s capable of receiving 2.1A will charge ‘quite quickly’.
Two devices plugged in will split that 2.1A.
I’m out of touch these days but I think the modern iPhones charge at 2.1A now. Though it’s likely 2.1A is quite some way behind where phones like the Samsung Galaxy are at in terms of ‘fast charging’...
Back in the day, the chargers supplied used to be 0.5A... just looking at the one I use that shipped with my iPhone 6, it states 1A...
Ultimately, if you charge at night, what does it matter if it’s fast or slow?

Great thanks for explaining :thumbsup: on that basis I'm surprised the amperage is so low? As the USB connection is plugged directly into the mains? Lol but I know nothing about this stuff. :disappointed:

There will be a transformer built in, the same way your normal usb plug is a transformer :P

Over the last few years or so, iPhones have been able to charge at 2.1A and 10W. The latest Samsung phone can do 11.7W under certain circumstances. So, it's up to 17% more power intake. I've no idea how the new iPhone will compare.

The Lenovo P2 uses a 24w fast charger !!

Because it won't be able to overcome the resistance of the battery, so won't fully charge
