TecMate International : The upcoming move to USB-C is going to materially affect the personal electronics landscape , and influence design direction in the battery charging segment . TecMate Chief Technology Officer Martin Human says that TecMate is ahead of the game with its Optimate USB-C and USB-A Combo charger . " USB-C is slated to become the universal USB standard for Europe , and with many smartphones going towards USB-C , including Apple , TecMate has responded by releasing the OptiMate USB O- 114 and the OptiMate USB O-119 . It is identical in design to the O-105 and O-115 , and therefore equally as ergonomic , except that one charge port is a USB-C ." The USB-C socket delivers up to 3300mA of charge to a single connected USB-C device . " All OptiMate USB chargers have a unique feature that protects the vehicle ' s battery that it is drawing power from - when the vehicle ' s engine is turned off , the OptiMate USB charger senses that and will turn off within one hour "; www . tecmate . com , www . optimate1 . com / usb
