The list of "automotive" gadgets has recently increased significantly. Drivers are happy to use these devices and do not even suspect that due to the connection of some of these devices to the cigarette lighter or a standard 12V socket, you can lose your own car.

Doubtful Chinese devices

The list of dangerous car gadgets is headed by cheap products from China. Charges for a smartphone, extension cords and other devices purchased literally “for a penny” do not differ in high quality and quickly overheat during operation.

Therefore, drivers should not be surprised that during the trip, suspicious Chinese devices can flare up or explode at any time, which in the best case will lead to a breakdown of the connected gadget and failure of the household power connector, and in the worst, to a fire in the car.

Kettles, boilers and high-power coffee makers

No less threat to the car are ordinary household appliances, if their power is at the maximum permissible level.

After all, after connecting such a device to the cigarette lighter or standard connector, the adapter heats up very much, which first can cause plastic melting around the socket, and then a fire.

Nobody forbids to use teapots, coffee makers and boilers during trips. Just the owners of the machines should be extremely careful in choosing these devices and not leave them connected to the network for a long time. In addition, these potentially dangerous devices can be successfully replaced with a good thermos or proven roadside cafe.

Air ionizers and fan heaters

Modern cars, as a rule, are equipped with a reliable air conditioning system. However, some particularly heat-loving car owners just in case prefer to play it safe with the help of additional fan heaters and air ionizers.

At the same time, car owners do not even suspect that the effectiveness of these household appliances is extremely doubtful, and their operation can lead to serious troubles. Therefore, it is not recommended to connect such devices to the network without urgent need.

Old compressors

Modern models of these useful devices, provided they are used correctly, are absolutely safe for cars. However, the compressors at 15A, "released in the last century," overheat literally after three minutes of operation. This circumstance must be taken into account by all drivers, since it is necessary to use such devices with extreme caution.

Splitter

Another device at risk. A comfortable trip, according to some drivers, is impossible without a DVR, charging for a smartphone, watch, kettle and even a refrigerator. However, at the same time, it is not possible to connect all these household appliances to a modern car due to the lack of corresponding connectors.

However, car owners are not discouraged about this, as there are splitters that allow you to use all the equipment available in the cabin. At the same time, riding enthusiasts “with conveniences” are not disturbed by the fact that in this case the fuse simply cannot withstand and “burns” due to the load from several devices on the on-board network.

The craze for car gadgets is due to the fact that in modern conditions, drivers and passengers expect comfortable conditions from a trip at any distance. At the same time, safety indicators of devices are taken into account last. Perhaps the information presented in this article will give cause for thought and help car owners to avoid serious troubles.
