Being on the road while recharging in the comfort of our vehicles is just a walk in the park. We have our car chargers to keep the juice of our smartphones while we drive to work or any other destination. However, driving in short distances makes using the car charger negligible since we are only using it in a limited time. Not until Capdase intros the Rapider QC 3.0 Car Charger.
Basically, the device uses a Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 Technology which is engineered to refuel compatible devices up to 4 times faster than the ordinary car charging.

Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 and Ports
The Capdase Rapider QC Car Charger is very generous with its number of ports. Unlike other conventional car charger, the Rapider has 3 USB ports that are categorically color coded. The green once rocks with Qualcomm 3.0 Quick Charge port which technically has 18W of output power. This port is capable of voltage adjustment in 3.2V to 20V range. The other two are in white which serves 17W output power and 3.4A output current.
The Capdase Rapider 3U34 is 100 percent backward compatible with Qualcomm’s older charging technologies. Thus, this means that devices using Quick Charge 1.0 and 2.0 can still enjoy the fast charging capabilities of the device.
Design
Having multiple USB ports allows simultaneous charging of three devices. The fact that the ports have at least 3.4A output current means that it can charge a wide number of devices like smartphones, tablets, etc. I also love the design and how it fit right into the charger port of the car.
Device Protection
The Capdase Rapider guarantees optimum protection to your devices with its built-in protection system. This module ensures your devices are safe from overcharging, overheating and “short-circuiting.” Device protection is definitely one of the best features we wanted in our portable chargers and it's also a good thing that the Rapider kept it handy.
Realtime test with the Capdase Rapider 3U34 car charger, we took a 44-minute drive using the device to power our iPhone 5s (1560 mAh battery). From 13 percent battery life, we go up to 50 percent in 45 minutes using the Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 port. The charging capability of the Rapider is decent enough to trump other standard car charger in the market.
Conclusion
For just Php 980, the Capdase Rapider 3U34 is a steal buy. It offers a sleek design that features a generous three USB ports. Likewise, this Car Charger is one of the few that have a Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0. So if you're always into a quick drive to work or school and wanted to have an ample battery life once you'll arrive in your destination, the Rapider is perfect for you.
