我们所有人都有移动设备,嗯,移动设备。而且它们都需要不时收费。而且我们不能总是跑回家使用设备随附的插入式壁式充电器。🙂因此(Thus),设计用于汽车的充电器几乎是必需品,而且这些充电器工作得越好,我们就越快乐。Aukey的CC-T7 快速充电 3.0(CC-T7 Quick Charge 3.0) 双端口 USB 车载充电器(Dual Port USB Car Charger)(正式名称为(official name))声称能够将设备充电速度提高四倍。它真的是更快的充电器上层(quicker charger-upper)吗?让我们(Let)来了解一下。
拆开充电器
Aukey的包装上写着“与Aukey一起(Aukey)走向绿色(Go Green)”,他们绝对没有辜负这个座右铭。充电器装在一个漂亮、坚固的普通棕色纸板箱中(cardboard box),正面有产品名称(product name)和充电器图纸,背面有公司的联系信息。
在里面,您会找到充电器、USB 数据线(USB cable)、六种语言的简要手册和保修登记卡(warranty registration card)。
该充电器有两个端口,一个用于为手机、平板电脑和其他USB设备充电(绿色),另一个使用高通 Quick Charge 技术(Qualcomm Quick Charge technology)(橙色),这是“快四倍”的基础宣称。并非所有设备都具有这项技术,因此并非所有设备都能从中受益。在此处(here)了解有关快速充电(Quick Charge) 的更多信息。

进行测试
我的第一代Moto X没有快速充电技术(Quick Charge technology),我也没有科学的方法来比较充电器的工作速度,就像我们对路由器和调制解调器等其他产品所做的那样,但我确实有一个较旧的, Aukey的非快速版本,较旧的美国模型车(model car),以及每天 20 分钟的通勤时间(由一位年长的美国司机)。🙂 所以我做了一些测试,将手机运行到 10% 以下,然后在我的驱动器上充电几次。
旧版本的Aukey 充电器(Aukey charger),带有通用USB 电缆(USB cable)(没有自带电缆),通常可以为我的手机充电 8% 到 10%。拯救一部几乎没电的手机就足够了,但没有什么可写的。(注意:这可能是电缆而不是充电器的故障。我没有测试过。)
我期待新充电器有明显的改进,我明白了。
Aukey CC-T7(Aukey CC-T7)使用非快速充电端口(Charge port)(该公司称它会自动适应被充电设备的需求)为我的手机充电 18% 到 20%。因此,从非科学角度来看,即使使用没有快速充电技术(Quick Charge technology)的手机,充电速度也会快两倍。
我还将手机电量降至 1%,然后将其放在Aukey CC-T7上并让它充满电。这花了大约一个小时 40 分钟,而手机随附的插入式充电器则需要三个多小时,因此“快两倍”的发现得到了支持。
当两部手机同时连接到它时,充电速度也快了大约两倍,尽管有一个小问题:当HTC One最初插入非快速充电端口(Quick Charge port)时,它会自行重置。快速充电端口(Quick Charge port)不会发生这种情况。(该公司表示将非快速充电(Charge)手机插入快速充电端口(Quick Charge port)是可以的。)
结论
这是通常进行“赞成和反对”讨论的地方,但老实说,我找不到关于Aukey CC-T7 3.0 双端口 USB 车载充电器(Dual Port USB Car Charger)的任何“反对” 。它易于使用,牢固地插入车内的电源插座,即使对没有(power socket)快速充电技术(Quick Charge technology)的设备也能提供更快的充电速度。它很便宜,而且它自带高速USB 电缆(USB cable)这一事实无疑是一个优势。包装可以完全回收,有些人也会认为这是一个优点。
判决
Aukey CC-T7 3.0(Aukey CC-T7 3.0) 双端口 USB 车载充电器(Dual Port USB Car Charger)获得满分 5 星。这是一款制作精良的产品,价格极具吸引力,而且它确实做到了它所说的。这是真正“有效”的事情之一。
Reviewing the Aukey CC-T7 dual port car charger
All of uѕ have mоbile devices that are, well, mobile. And they all need to be сharged from time to time. And we can't always just run home to use the plug-in wall-wart charger the device came with. 🙂 Thus, chargers designed to be used in cars are almost a necessity, and the better those work, the happier we all are. Aukey's CC-T7 Quick Charge 3.0 Dual Port USB Car Chаrger (to give it its full official name) claims to be able to chаrge devices up to four tіmes fаster. Is it reallу the quiсker chаrger-upper? Let's find оυt.
Unboxing the charger
Aukey's packaging says "Go Green with Aukey" and they've definitely lived up to that motto. The charger came in a nice, sturdy plain brown cardboard box with the product name and a drawing of the charger on the front, and contact information for the company on the back.
Inside, you'll find the charger, its USB cable, a brief manual in six languages and a warranty registration card.
The charger has two ports, one for charging phones, tablets and other USB devices (lined in green), and another that uses the Qualcomm Quick Charge technology (lined in orange), which is the basis for the "up to four times faster" claim. Not all devices have this technology, so not all devices will reap the benefits. Find out more about Quick Charge here.

Putting it to the test
My first-gen Moto X doesn't have the Quick Charge technology, and I don't have a scientific method of comparing how much faster the charger worked, as we do with other products like routers and modems, but I do have an older, non-quick version of the Aukey, an older American model car, and a 20 minute daily commute (by an older American driver). 🙂 So I did some testing by running the phone down to below 10% and then charging it up on my drive to work several times.
The older version of the Aukey charger, with a generic USB cable (that one didn't come with its own cable) generally charged my phone about 8 to 10 percent. It's enough to rescue a nearly dead phone, but nothing to write home about. (NOTE: this may be the fault of the cable rather than the charger. I did not test this.)
I was expecting a noticeable improvement with the new charger, and I got it.
The Aukey CC-T7, using the non-Quick Charge port (which the company says adapts itself automatically to the needs of the device being charged) charged my phone between 18 and 20 percent. So, non-scientifically, even with a phone that does not have Quick Charge technology, the charge was about twice as fast.
I also ran the phone down to 1% and put it on the Aukey CC-T7 and let it charge fully. That took about an hour and 40 minutes, as opposed to over three hours with the plug-in charger that came with the phone, so the "twice as fast" finding held up.
The charge was also about twice as fast when two phones were connected to it at the same time, although there was one hiccup: When an HTC One was initially plugged into the non-Quick Charge port, it reset itself. This didn't happen with the Quick Charge port. (The company says that plugging non-Quick Charge phones into the Quick Charge port is OK.)
Conclusion
Here is where a "pro and con" discussion usually goes, but honestly, I could not find anything "con" about the Aukey CC-T7 3.0 Dual Port USB Car Charger. It's easy to use, stays firmly plugged into the power socket in the car, and delivers a faster charge even to a device without the Quick Charge technology. It's inexpensive, and the fact that it comes with its own high speed USB cable is a definite plus. The packaging can be fully recycled, which some people will also consider a plus.
Verdict
The Aukey CC-T7 3.0 Dual Port USB Car Charger gets a full 5 stars. It's a well made product with an attractively low price, and it does what it says it will do. It's one of those things that genuinely "just works."
