The smallest, lightest in-car charger in the world.
The motormonkey is the smallest, lightest in-car charger in the world, and can charge most popular mobile phones, smartphones, iPads, iPods and more whilst you're on the move. The revolutionary motormonkey in-car charger has self-sensing technology that can recognise when an Apple iPad has been connected and changes the power settings accordingly. Lightweight and compact as the original, the motormonkey provides a complete charging solution for most 5V devices.
The slim line design means that the motormonkey in-car charger is unobtrusive and you can leave it plugged into your cigarette lighter when you're not using it, without worrying about draining your car's battery. The motormonkey is designed to be permanently located in the car's socket, sitting passively until you need it. Only when your mobile or other electronic device is connected does the internal intelligent circuit activate the supply of power to the unit. When your device is fully charged, motormonkey will automatically shut down - ready for when you need it next.
You can also charge your 5V Powertraveller portable chargers such as the powermonkey range and the solarmonkey adventurer via the motormonkey. The motormonkey in-car charger will fully support Apple iPods & iPhones via the motormonkey's USB socket by using your white sync / charge cable supplied with your Apple product.

FAQs
Q: I need an in car-charger for my powermonkey. What do you recommend?
A: Buy one of our fantastic motormonkeys! You can charge your powermonkey using the retractable USB cable that comes with both the powermonkey and motormonkey kits.
Q: Does the white apple sync cable come with the motormonkey?
A: No, this is for demonstration purposes only and is not included with the motormonkey.
Q:My motormonkey will not work in my car?
A:Please check the following:
- The Motormonkey is firmly inserted into your 12v socket
- Your lighter socket is live. Do any other devices work from it? Is the Fuse OK
- Please check that you have a compatible device connected and ready to charge. The Red LED will only turn ON when charging commences
- Ensure that there is not a build up of ash, dust or other contaminates and that the metal contacts are clean. You can clean these with a cotton bud and some white spirit - always ensure the socket is off before attempting to clean and never stick a metal object such as a screwdriver inside to clean the contacts as this could short the socket and blow the fuse.
- Please try in an alternate car if the Motormonkey still appears not to work

A: No, the motormonkey will draw no power from your vehicles battery unless a device is plugged in and requires charge. Once your device is fully charged, the motormonkey will become passive again.

Q: What are the benefits of the motormonkey over other cheaper alternatives?
