muddy Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) Evening all. I'm looking for another usb socket to charge my phone and torch, not bothered if its panel mount or even a female socket on a flylead. Having purchased one of the latter I found it to be pure chineaseium and wouldn't charge my iPhone. Is 3.2A the top whack or is there more to give now, any reccamendations for quality? I guess everything comes out the same container or a lot of it does. Only thing I don't want is any lcd display or similar as I don't like the light at night. I should add its 12v in 5v out standard chargers type stuff..... Will. Edited October 21, 2018 by muddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 We find the CN stuff usually do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Blue sea are good quality. They do a standard dual charger for about £15 or a 4.8A dual fast charge one that’s a lot more pricey at about £40. cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some newer phones support QC 3.0. This automatic raises the voltage up to 20 V and 18 Watts in communication with the device and allows much faster charging. You need a specific QC 3.0 USB port which modern, quality outlets provide. If your device only support standard USB, then you are limited to 5 V and 2.1 Amps (10.5 Watts). Be careful when looking at specs of ones with multiple outlets. Many times the ratings are for all ports combined and not for each on their own.

Eightpot Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I bought a few panel mount ones with double USB sockets on the face earlier this year from Amazon to kit a camper out. None of them would charge my phone, so that was a bunch of money up the wazoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I have the blue seas double one and it’s great - I regularly charge phones and iPads on it and when I put one in my series, that’s what I’ll be going for again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneandtwo Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I fitted a blue sea one from Mudstuff to my Puma - works really well but needed to be filed down a bit to fit in the vacant cigarette lighter hole in the dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
