We have a small air cleaner plugged into the cigarette lighter outlet in
the car now, and want to add a cell phone charger. Does anyone make a Y
cable that you could plug into that outlet and power 2 things from? What's
it called?

Thanks!

You know, I wonder if they make anything like this with a box on the
female end and both female connectors switched?

I actually found some that have switches on them, which is better.
Sometimes we stop the car and want the radio on, but not the air cleaner
that's plugged into the outlet, so we could switch that off and not
drain the battery with it.
