I've been seeing some strange behaviour lately with my Scosche car cigarette lighter dual port USB charger in that it sometimes doesn't seem to charge my phone when I'm driving. I don't seem to have had any dashcam problems but assume this is because they pull less power than the phone, usually well below 500mA.
I run TomTom on the phone so you need at least 1A to charge the phone as well as use that, and it seems like the Scosche is sometimes failing to do that.
I've now got a 4 way Inateck Premium adaptor which can supply up to 2.4a on all four sockets at once!
It's a nice looking adaptor and you also get a couple of USB to microUSB cables included with velcro cable tidies which is a very nice touch.
I got mine from Amazon UK but it's also available in the USA:

I noticed they also do a two way one which has a lightning cable built in which may be more convenient for some people.

I'll keep this thread updated with outcomes but so far so good
