Nga kaibigan, 3 beses na ako nasisiraan ng fuse para sa Phone Car charger. Ano po ba ang maganda na gawin? Nagtry na po ako ng brand na elevo, cdr-king kaso lagi nauuwi sa nasisira.

strange...
you can check the fuse used. it might be "sub-standard", that is, it may have a rating lower than what is listed down.
check also if the fuse box heats up..
if that fails, you might have to open 'er up..

In those instances that I had to replace the fuse, I sought assistance from casa. Should I put in a fuse with higher volts? Wouldnt that make things worse? By the way, thank you for the response, mate!

the fusebox usually has a sticker that indicates the various fuse ratings in there. the manual may also have this.
for autos, the voltage is uniformly 12V. the ampere ratings are what vary.

Sir ano sabi sa casa? Ni-test ba nila? Ako 2 times naputukan ng fuse. Dun sa pangatlo, iniwasan ko yun mga more than 1A rated at two port charger and gumana sya. Kaya ayun, nung bumili ko portable compressor, takot ako iplug dun. Tingin ko low ratings na fuse nakalagay sa mga naunang nasira. Sa next PMS ko, papatest ko sa kanila yun compressor kung gagana pati mga unang charger na binili ko

ano?!!
1 amp lang ang fuse ng cigarette lighter?

tekateka...
hindi kaya kampanya yang "under-rated" cigerette lighter fuse, sa no-smoking drive ng car manufacturer?

Normally, Cig lighter ports can accommodate only up to 10A max. What is the label rating on the port's cap (cover)? Mine says "12V 10A max". I am assuming it's pretty standard across all makes.

How dont know where to check it, sir. But when I opened the fuse box, I saw the number "15". Is thst it?

If this is the case, sir, then what im using should still be good. My car charger only consumes 2.1mA.. is that right?

can't be.. 2.1 milliamperes is too small for anything except standby mode.

at any rate, if the fuse is not sub-spec, perhaps it is time to explore "poor wiring" as cause for fuse blow-out.. as in, something shorts when the charger port is used..
