I got a lot of use out of this charger. Will buy again if needed.Rule #1 I've learned the hard way is that no matter if you spend $0.50 for a car charger or $30.00 for a car charger, the second you pull it from the package, IMMEDIATELY put a drop of super glu on the seam where the two halves of the plastic come together. One drop on either side, away from the metal/tip. If you don't, the chsrger has a high chance of literally falling apart on you.If you do this before use, you'll get a year or more out of your chargers.
