Our verdict
Verdict
Duracell 65W (DU053) brings mainstream brand trust to the Indian car charger market with 45W USB-C PD and 20W QC3.0 USB-A on a 12–24V input. The 45W PD port is genuinely laptop-capable for many ultrabooks and tablets, while the 20W QC port handles phones. Duracell positions it specifically against slow in-car charging — and for buyers who want a recognizable global brand over local accessory players, it is one of the strongest picks under ₹1,000.

In-depth review
Duracell's entry into car chargers targets buyers who prioritize brand reliability over the lowest rupee. The 45W PD port matches what many wall chargers deliver — enough to meaningfully charge a Type-C laptop during a 1-hour highway run.
The 12–24V input range matters for SUV and commercial vehicle owners who sometimes find budget chargers fail on 24V sockets.
