The best & most reliable 12V USB charger I have found is the Scosche reVolt USBC242M 12W + 12W.
Most of these USB car chargers are extremely poor quality or offer 1.0A + 1.0A or 2.1A on one port and 1.0A on the other port. Most of them simply can't handle charging two devices at once and fry/cook themselves.

The Scosche reVolt USBC242M is capable of 2.4A on both ports simultaneously and is the same output as the 120V Apple wall wort. I own about 4 of them and keep them in both cars and a couple on the boat and we have yet to kill any of them. We are often charging two iPads at once too!!

I bought 3 and they work fantastic. My phone can now keep up with the heavy draw of running pandora, surfing and feeding a hotspot. Our tablet can keep up with heavy use as well. I bought 3. One for each side of the cabin and one in the cockpit.

Thank you MS!!

A hundred and ten bucks for 3? Is that what you mean? Ouch.

Thanks MS! Got two from amazon prime delivered today. One for car... one for boat.

I bought the Blue Sea cigar-lighter socket, which compliments the appearance of the dual-USB one (I have both kinds on the boat). Problem is that the cigar-lighter one's rubber plug/cap doesn't stick in the hole but keeps falling out. Meanwhile, the West Marine-brand ones, that I installed everywhere else, work perfectly well.

Since I installed these, there have been other 'off-brands' that have come out that don't have the problem the typically-very-good Blue Sea stuff has. So what's up with that?
