Product Information
Full details
This Gembird 40W Dual USB-C PD Car Charger is designed for drivers who need to keep multiple devices powered up on the go. Its key benefit is the ability to fast-charge two compatible devices simultaneously at up to 20W each, ensuring you arrive with a full battery, even when using power-hungry apps. A potential caveat is that optimal fast-charging speeds require both the device and the USB-C cable to support Power Delivery (PD). This compact and durable charger offers a total of 40W output, intelligent protection, and universal 12-24V input, making it suitable for most vehicles.

FAQs
What is Power Delivery (PD)?
Power Delivery is a fast-charging standard that allows compatible devices to receive more power, significantly reducing charging times compared to standard USB charging. This charger's USB-C ports support PD.
Can I charge two devices at full speed simultaneously?
Yes, each of the two USB-C ports can deliver up to 20W independently. This means you can fast-charge two PD-compatible devices simultaneously at their maximum supported speeds (up to 20W each).
What type of devices can I charge with this charger?
This charger is ideal for devices with USB-C ports that support Power Delivery (PD), such as most modern smartphones (iPhone 8 and newer, many Android models) and tablets.
Will this charger work in a truck or larger vehicle?
Yes, the charger has a universal 12-24V input, making it compatible with the power sockets found in virtually all cars, trucks, and other vehicles.
Does the charger come with USB-C cables?
The product description does not specify if cables are included. You will need to use your own USB-C cables, ensuring they are rated for the appropriate power delivery if you intend to use fast charging.
What does the intelligent protection feature do?
The intelligent protection system safeguards your devices against potential damage from over-current, over-voltage, and short circuits, ensuring safe and reliable charging.
Troubleshooting
Device not charging or charging slowly
Ensure the USB-C cable is fully inserted into both the charger and your device. Verify that your device and cable support Power Delivery (PD) for fast charging. Try using a different USB-C cable or port. Check if the car's accessory socket is providing power.
Charger does not power on
Confirm that the car's accessory socket is functional by testing it with another accessory. Ensure the charger is fully inserted into the socket.
Charger feels warm during use
Slight warmth is normal during fast charging. If the charger becomes excessively hot, disconnect it immediately and ensure it is properly seated in the socket and not obstructed.
