Your Votuse 4-in-1 retractable car charger is built for convenience on the go. With dual 800mm built-in cables (Lightning for iPhone and Type-C), plus two extra charging ports (USB-A and USB-C), it’s the ultimate power solution for multitasking drivers and passengers.

To keep it working at top speed and efficiency, proper care is essential, especially if you rely on it daily. Here’s how to maintain your charger and extend its life.

1. Retract the Cables Gently and Correctly

Why? The built-in cables are designed for flexibility and convenience, but rough handling can wear out the retractable mechanism or fray the wires.

How to do it right:

• Do not pull both ends at the same time when extending or retracting to prevent jamming.

• Stop pulling once you feel light resistance, don’t overextend.

• Retract slowly and evenly to avoid stress on internal components.

• If the mechanism ever feels stuck, don’t yank, gently adjust both ends to reset.

2. Keep the Ports Clean and Dust-Free

Why? Car interiors attract dust and debris that can block charging ports or reduce connection quality.

Maintenance tips:

• Use compressed air or a soft brush to clear dust from the USB-A and USB-C ports.

• Keep unused ports covered when possible — even a small silicone dust plug can help.

• Periodically clean the charger body and cable heads with a dry microfiber cloth. If needed, lightly dampen it with isopropyl alcohol (never soak or spray directly).

3. Avoid Extreme Heat or Cold

Why? Cars can reach very high or low temperatures, especially when parked, and temperature extremes can damage circuitry or plastic components.

Best practices:

• Unplug the charger when not in use for long periods, especially during summer.

• Avoid placing it near direct sunlight or vents that blow hot air.

• During colder months, give the charger a few seconds to “warm up” before using it.

4. Use High-Quality Power Sources

Why? The performance of your charger depends on the stability and output of your car’s power socket.

Charging tips:

• Ensure your car’s 12V/24V outlet is clean and undamaged.

• Avoid using the charger with cheap or unstable USB adapters in older vehicles.

• For the fastest charge, use devices and cables that support fast charging protocols (e.g., PD or QC).

5. Handle the Cables with Care During Use

Even though the built-in cables are designed to last, repeated bending and tugging can wear them out over time.

Cable care tips:

• Don’t hang heavy phones or tablets directly from the port while driving — use a dashboard or vent mount.

• Avoid bending cables sharply at the connection point.

• Detach cables carefully when not in use to relieve strain on the heads.

6. Check for Wear and Replace When Needed

Why? Like any accessory, car chargers wear out over time, especially with heavy use.

Watch for:

• Loose cable heads or frayed wires

• Reduced charging speed or inconsistent connection

• Debris build-up that doesn’t clean out easily
