Charging up one phone in the car is easy, but what happens when you’ve got a whole family or group of friends with you? Fighting over charging cables or for the car adapter can be a literal tangled mess if everyone’s low on battery. Fortunately, there’s a simple solution to the problem.

The charger slots into your car’s cigarette lighter and includes two built-in charging cables that can extend up to 2.6 feet — more than enough to reach the backseat. The best part: this 4-in-1 charger is on sale right now for just $20.

LISEN Retractable Car Charger
$19.99 $49.98 60% off
The LISEN Retractable Car Charger features dual USB ports, plus slots for a lightning cable, USB A and USB C (which supports fast charging). LISEN says power is distributed evenly, so up to four devices can be charged at the same time, and at the same speed. This is compatible for both Androids and iPhones.
The compact design tucks away under your car control panel, and its rotating design helps it fit either vertically or horizontally (though at just 2.1 x 2.4 inches in sizes, it really can fit anywhere). Rather than having loose cables dangling around the car — or dangerously close to the pedals — however, you can keep them safely tucked into the charger when not in use. When you need to power up, simply pull the extendable cord out and plug in.
LISEN says a quick 30-minute charge can get you up to 90% battery life; in our experience, we’ve gotten closer to 70% charge. Still, this is a super convenient and dare we say necessary car accessory, especially if you’re constantly on the go, or prone to getting stuck in traffic.
We also love giving this as a gift to friends, and it makes a great stocking stuffer. Don’t just take our word for it though: this retractable car charger boasts a 4.5-star rating (out of five) from hundreds of verified reviewers online. Amazon says more than 10,000 people have bought the LISEN charger in the last month alone.
Regularly $50, get the LISEN 4-in-1 Retractable Car Charger on sale for just $19.99 here.
