Ultra Prolink Fast Car Charger UM1160

The Ultra Prolink UM1160 is a dual-port fast car charger with a stated total output of 145W. As specified by the brand, the USB-C port delivers up to 45W with Power Delivery, and the USB-A port delivers up to 100W, supporting fast-charge protocols including Dash Charge, Warp Charge, SuperVOOC, Huawei SCP, Samsung AFC and Quick Charge. It plugs into a vehicle’s 12V accessory socket and is designed to charge two devices at high speed at the same time.

Why car charging speed matters

A phone running navigation with the screen on, location active and a data connection streaming traffic updates can consume power nearly as fast as a basic car charger supplies it. The result is arriving at your destination with barely more charge than you started with. Higher-output car charging reverses that: the phone gains meaningful charge during the drive even while it works. That is the use case the UM1160 is specified for, particularly on long intercity drives where the car socket is the only power source available for hours at a time and several passengers may need to charge in rotation.

Two ports, two roles

The USB-C Power Delivery port at up to 45W suits USB-C phones, tablets and even light laptops that charge over PD, and it handles the fast-charging modes of mainstream USB-C handsets. The USB-A port, rated by the brand at up to 100W, carries the proprietary fast-charge protocols used by OnePlus, OPPO, Realme and similar devices, which normally only reach their headline speeds on their own chargers and cables. Running both ports together lets a driver charge a PD device and a proprietary fast-charge phone in parallel. Actual speeds depend on the device, its battery level and temperature, and on using a cable rated for the protocol involved; the charger negotiates the highest mode both sides support.

Protocol compatibility

Fast charging is not one standard but a family of them, and a charger only delivers high speed when it and the phone agree on a protocol. The brand states support for Dash Charge, Warp Charge and SuperVOOC for the OPPO, OnePlus and Realme ecosystems, Huawei SCP, Samsung AFC and standard Quick Charge, alongside USB Power Delivery on the Type-C port. That breadth matters in a family or shared car, where the passengers’ phones come from different brands and each expects its own handshake before it will charge quickly instead of falling back to a slow basic rate.

Fitting and safety

The charger is a compact, low-profile design intended to sit neatly in the 12V socket without obstructing the gear lever or centre console in most vehicles. Multi-layer safety protection is stated for the unit, covering the electrical faults a charger must guard against in a vehicle environment where voltage can fluctuate. As with any high-output charger, insert it fully into the socket, use sound cables, and disconnect valuable devices if the vehicle battery is weak and the engine is off for long periods.

For drivers who need genuine fast charging for two different phones at once, the Ultra Prolink UM1160 Fast Car Charger combines a 45W USB-C PD port and a 100W USB-A port with wide protocol support in a single socket-mounted unit.
