The VintageCharger allows Antique, Vintage, and Classic cars to Quick, Fast or Super-Fast charge most USB-A and USB-C devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, USB Batteries, and GPS devices that charge with either a USB-A or USB-C charging cable.

For many older vehicles, the only option for USB charging is a cigarette light adapter USB charger. While this works great for many classic cars with a 12-volt negative ground electrical system and a standard-size cigarette lighter port, this is not always an option on many older antique and vintage vehicles for one or more of the following reasons:

• 6-volt Electrical System
• 9-volt Electrical System
• Positive Ground Electrical System
• No cigarette lighter port
• Non-standard cigarette lighter port size
• Non-standard cigarette lighter port pin layout
• Does not want the USB charging port visible

The VintageCharger does not utilize a vehicle’s cigarette light port. It is connected directly to the car’s electrical system. This allows it to be mounted in locations that are either more convenient or less visible and does not obstruct the use or look of any existing cigarette lighter port.

The VintageCharger works with any DC electrical system that is 6-volt through 18-volts and, when installed correctly, supports both negative ground and positive ground vehicle electrical systems.

This allows the VintageCharger to work with almost all Pre-War and Post-War automobiles, tractors, RVs, and boats.

Unlike cheap USB chargers that just supply 5 volts and typically can only charge at 500 milliamps (2.5 watts) to 1 amp (5 watts) and require 12-volt input, the VintageCharger smart charging technology can vary the voltage supplied to supported devices and supply up to 60 watts of charging power (depending on input voltage and supported charging protocol).

The VintageCharger can be mounted inside the vehicle’s passenger compartment in various locations.  Common locations are along the bottom edge of the dashboard, center console, or glove compartment.

The VintageCharger only requires two wires to be hooked into a vehicle’s electrical system. The red wire extending from the back of the VintageCharger always gets connected to a source that is connected to the Positive (+) battery terminal. The black wire always gets connected to a source that is connected to the negative (-) battery terminal, regardless of whether the vehicle is 6 or 12 volts or if the vehicle is negative or positive ground.
