12V Car Power Outlet problem with iPhone 4S?
I have a problem with my 12V power outlet in my 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse.
So I bought this "usb charger" from a local store to charge my iPhone 4S in the car.
I connect the usb cable to see if it works.
At first it worked great. Just like the little 120V wall charger at home. After a while however, the charging status at the top right corner keeps going on and off, on and off like the car is not feeding enough power through the USB charger.
Btw, the USB charger Nor the USB cable are not broken or defect, I've tried many different chargers and cables to fix the problem and none of them fixed the problem plus the cable works fine at home through the wall charger.
I need electrician's help! Why is this problem occuring?
Just press the charger plug more firmly into the socket.
It's very common that some plugs don't work fine with some sockets, especially if chargers (or other equipment) is no-name.
To double-check, try some other 12V item in the same socket and see if it works properly.
A solution might be to buy a good third-party, if not the original car charger. Odds are those will work flawlessly.

- Is it okay to use iPhone electrical outlet for charging ipad? So my outlet's got broken I went out and buy a new one. And they said they only sell the small Apple ones. I was in a rush so I just took it. Is it okay to use it on my ipad 3 because I think it's charging slower than usual.
- Iphone 5 not charging in laptop but does with wall outlet? My charger doesn't work when I plug it into my laptop or my portable charger but it charges when it is in the wall outlet. Nothing shows up on my phone when I charge it with my laptop. It stopped working yesterday, what is wrong with it? My usb port does work because my friend charged her phone using my laptop but using her own cord. If I go into apple, will they exchange it for me or do I have to buy a new one?
