5.0 out of 5 stars USB-C retractable cable does not provide power - Revised 12/17/25

2026-01-13    -Amazon Customer

I got one of these units a while ago and used it for charging my iPhone via the retractable iPhone connector. Works great. However, I recently wanted to use the USB-C retractable cable, but it didn't work - no power at all. I could use a USB2-USB-C cable and that worked OK, but the retractable cable was dead. Sent it back and got a replacement - same problem. iPhone cable works, USB2 outlet works, USB-C cable dead. Though maybe it was me, so I hooked it up to a 13V DC power supply in my lab and connected the USB-C cable to a USB-C female chassis connector so I could measure the voltage directly. First I connected a USB-C cable from my PC, and as expected, saw 5.6V on DVM. Changed to the USB-C cable from the car charger, and measured 2.2millivolts (essentially zero). Either I am incredibly unlucky, or they are ALL like that!12/17/25 Update: The SuperONE folks reached out to me and sent me a new unit free of charge - wow! I ran the same test and got the same results - but this time I ALSO plugged the retractable cable into my BT headphones, and voila! - it started charging! So, after researching this I discovered that the USB-C cable uses the 'PD' protocol which requires the load device (my headphones) to request power from the source (the cable). If that signal is missing, no power is provided. So the whole problem was that the USB-C chassis-mount receptacle I was using didn't supply the required PD signal, so no power - bummer! So now I have 10 or so USB-C chassis mount receptacles that don't work, but that is NOT SuperONE's fault!

This lil guy is a solid piece of equipment, works like a dream, and is super convenient- the built in retractable usb-c and apple chargers are a God send, and then to throw in those EXTRA PORTS? Come on now, they thought of everything. It fits exactly as it should in my car's port- and I greatly appreciate the fact that the larger part BENDS especially since my car's port is awkwardly inverted under the radio to be right behind the cupholder, so I can still put my drinks there and charge my phone. The only setback is the minor dilemma of needing to pull out the whole wire in order for it to retract as that can prove quite tedious since that type of technology can be finicky.

Not worth the money paid

Keeps coming out of the holder during driving

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS THING CHARGES FAST!

VERY FAST CHARGING!It's VERY sturdy & well made. I can't imagine it ever cracking or the cord reel failing. It is nice and tight when inserted so it won't jiggle & lose power. The voltage number display is blue & I love not having to use a voltmeter to see what my car battery output is lol.It's VERY big & long but bends around 90 degrees & rotates to help get a nice fit for your car but definitely double check the size anyway to make sure it won't get in the way of something else in your car that you need access to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome device

I have had 2 other charging devices with retractable cables in the past. They both worked ok for a little while until they didn't. I didn't get a "new" one for several years. Not because the first ones were still working because they weren't, but because I figured it was a bad idea to get another one. Then, I saw this. It was an accident that I came across it. I looked at it and looked at it. I read the reviews. I went back and forth trying to decide if I should give it a try.Eventually I pulled the trigger and ordered one. It came and I ripped open the package and out came this gigantic thing. It seemed kind of heavy (in the well made kind of heavy) and yet neat looking at the same time. I plugged it into the outlet and it came to life. It showed me how many volts my vehicle battery had. It has 2 cables that tuck nicely into the charging housing when retracted. A USB C and a Lightening Cable. It also has a USB outlet available. I tugged the Lightening cable out to plug into my iPhone. it was nice and smooth. It entered my phone and started charging. How fast did it charge? I don't know. I never looked at the battery percentage and then timed how long it took to charge it. I'm one of those weirdos who likes to keep the phone battery topped off. I know, not good for the battery. Too old to change now. Regardless, I noticed there were several stop options for how much cable comes out. You give it a quick but gentle tug and it retracts nicely. I really like it.But didn't I say it was gigantic? Yea I did and it is pretty good sized. But with 2 retractable cables, a USB port and a volt meter it's not as bad as one might think. I have a car where the the charge hole is kind of deep behind the gear shift and the enormity of this actually helps get the retracted cables into a position where you can grab them easier. I like that I don't have loose cables laying all over the place. If this thing lasts, I'm going to buy one for every vehicle I own and for every vehicle owned by members of my family. I hope the mechanism that retracts the cables lasts. I imagine I will have a part to play in that with how I use it. If I don't do a lot of yanking on it (like trying to start a lawnmower) it should last. I've had it about a month now and use it multiple times a day. I'll update as time goes on.Would I recommend it? I would.Value for the money? It depends on how long it lasts. Do you NEED one? No. Do you want one? Probably and that's why someone made it.Bottom line: I really like it and am pleased with it's performance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect!!!

It works perfect. My husband and I both have two different type chargers and it lets both of us charge our phones at the same time. Very easy to use. Works in any car that has lighter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing useful car charger

It's always good to have options for charging electronic devices in the car, such as cell phones, tablets, radios, and more.Also useful for friends who need to charge their devices.Easy to use.Good quality.The length of the retractable cable is good, and it doesn't get stuck when retracting. It's a great companion for long trips and always keeps your devices charged.
