Brookstone 3-Way + 2‑USB Car Charger / In-Car Cigarette Socket Splitter

Product Description:
Take control of your in‑car charging and power needs with the Brookstone 3‑Way + 2 USB Charger — a smart and versatile accessory designed to make the most of your vehicle’s 12 V (and in some cases 24 V) socket. Whether you’re on the road for work, a road‑trip, or simply managing multiple devices in your car, this unit gives you the flexibility to connect and power multiple devices with ease.

Key Features:

• Three independent 12 V sockets: Plug in up to three standard car accessory sockets simultaneously — ideal for dash cams, portable coolers, air pumps, or other 12 V devices.

• Two USB charging ports: Keep your smartphones, tablets or other USB‑powered gadgets charged while you’re on the move — no need to sacrifice one device to keep another powered.

• Universal car compatibility: Works with standard 12 V automotive socket (cigarette lighter style). Some listings suggest compatibility with 24 V systems too — giving it added flexibility for vans or heavier vehicles.

• Compact, convenient design: The unit plugs into your vehicle socket, freeing up space and eliminating the chaos of multiple individual adapters. It gives you a central point for powering devices in‑car.

• Ideal for multi‑device scenarios: Great for families, professionals who travel, ride‑share drivers, or anyone who needs to power multiple gadgets on the go. One user review specifically noted:

It removes the “one socket only” limitation, offers flexibility and keeps things organized. Just double‑check your car’s socket rating and the accessories you intend to run together to avoid overload.
