SAE to usb adaptor

Hi guys and gals,

Just wondering if anyone uses and would recommend an SAE to USB adaptor to use for charging phones etc.

There’s a bunch on eBay I don’t trust by default. And this branded one by Optimate. So wondering if there’s any experience around here?

E.g. https://www.getgeared.co.uk/optimate-universal-usb-charger-sae-connector-black?gclid=CjwKCAjwo87YBRBgEiwAI1Lkqa2PDMK7M5iZlw0zR9OeoJVcbvwdVa0s0cndmUtGoVnjS5LWR7fILhoC4dYQAvD_BwE&utm_medium=shopping_feed_gg17&utm_source=google

Many thanks,
B.

Why use the SAE connector? Mate of mine has the optimate one and it works. 

I use these and never have a problem with them https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Converter-Voltage-Adapter-Connectors-charging/dp/B06XSCCLCD

Never had a problem with eBay offerings, had two dual USB+12v socket units. The one on the Bonne was three years old when the Bonne went, the one on The 250 is three years old and still doing what it should. Aslo had similar units to me_groovy fitted in the cars. The Ford is on its second, first one gave up after five years. The one in the Astra is going on eight years now.

Of note, apart from being properly overpriced, the Optimate model from Get Geared doesn’t give the out voltage/amperage in the specification??

I’ve already got an SAE connection under the seat anyway.

Thanks.

I’ve had problems with the ebay offerings & my iPhone 

I went for this one will update one I try it. I’ll make sure there’s a fuse in line.

It's also known as the "powerlet connector" and "optimate connector" because both companies use it, but it's a standard created by (and named for) the Society of Automotive Engineers:

FWIW, I use one of these now:
